I know this is all sorts of wrong, but it’s so damned funny!
Some of us have been unlucky enough to see Tim Burton’s remake of ‘The Planet of the Apes’. We watched in abject terror as our beloved classic was retold as an SFX heavy action film, instead of the more thoughtful, though lower-budgeted classic. [...]
