Falling from the Sky


A long time ago on a Friday night my Mum said, "Do you want to watch the Planets of the Apes tonight? I think you'll like it." I watched it. I think it was on ABC. My life has never been the same.

The movie changed my life and the way I would look at both reality and science fiction.
Cuz life is a lot like science fiction. Isn't it it?
  1. Well, my life sure is.
  2. Dr. Zira was trying to prove that man can be domesticated. I'm still not sure.
  3. As the film starts, Taylor says, "there's gotta be something out there better than man, There has to be." I used to agree. Now I don't know.
  4. Anyway, it's a classic. Very scientific and says a lot about politics, power and religion. Rod Serling co-wrote the script.
  5. i had a Planet of the Apes coloring book.
  6. Damn. I was a geek.
  7. Still am, i suppose.
