As I mentioned before, Beneath The Planet of the Apes is my favorite film of the original series. Here is a video of the world map from the comic series Beware the Planet of the Apes superimposed over a modern map of New York. The locations of Queensborough Plaza and the Statue of Liberty match on both maps.

Note: >!Hope's Point is supposed to be the ruins of Yankee Stadium, but it's clearly much further north if you look at it on Google Maps. The Hominidae Empire is right around Secaucus, NJ near the Meadowlands.!<

According to the comic series Beware The Planet of the Apes, the map of the landscape shows that the story takes place in New Jersey and New York. This proves that the Statue of Liberty is still in its rightful place and never moved. The landscape just changed around the landmarks of the old world that was devastated by atomic bombs.

More PotA cartography to come!

In Beneath the Planet of the Apes, the Ape Army crosses into the Forbidden Zone where they encounter an illusion trying to prevent them entering the ruins of New York City.

The Ape Army was standing right around where Brooklyn used to be before they advanced upon the city covered by molten rock. I'll post a full map of the landscape that includes Ape City, the Statue of Liberty, and other landmarks in PotA lore.

Based on the map shown to Taylor, I was able to pinpoint where the area where the space ship touched down. It is somewhere on the boarder of New Jersey and New York, in the waters of what used to be known as Arthur Kill, a channel that once served as an industrial strait.

Greetings.

New here. A fan of the first two films. I made some images comparing the world of Planet of the Apes to modern day. Enjoy.

Okay. Here's a Music Video Essay on Short Circuit and Short Circuit 2 with the music of "Short Circuit" from Daft Punk's album Discovery. After nearly a decade, it's finally done.

Next MVE is Face To Face. Enjoy.

Short Circuit - Johnny Five Tribute

Good business is where you find it.

I have another unfinished MVE (Music Video Essay) on my hard drive based on Short Circuit (1986), Short Circuit 2 (1988), and the Daft Punk song "Short Circuit" for a mesh-up.

I believe the first half of the video covers the first film when Johnny 5 is on the run from NOVA Labs. The second half of the video shows Johnny 5 in the big city, and ends with Johnny 5 getting smashed up by Oscar Baldwin's goons. >!Nostalgic Trauma Warning!!!!<

When I have all the proper assets together, I'll start working on it.

Greetings Daft Punk Fans,

Here's the first 30 seconds of a Music Video Essay I'm currently working on. This project sat dormant on my hard drive for years, but now I'm finally going to finish it. It's a mesh-up of Daft Punk's Face To Face and the 1997 film Face/Off.

Face To Face - Face/Off (first 30 secs)

Everywhere I go online, I always find lyrics of Face To Face saying what is apparently heard in the song instead of what is actually said. I'm a huge lyrics person, so I want to know what's being said.

I know Todd Edwards said what he said about "you are" and "face to face now". Personally, I don't care. If a Winnie The Pooh reference made it into the song, I'm going to sing "Christopher Rob" like the sample says. Observe:

And some

Christopher Rob

Christopher

And some

Christopher Rob

Envy Me!

What's going on? Could this be my understanding?

It's not your fault I was being too demanding

I must admit, it's my pride that made me distant

All because I hoped that you'd be someone different

There's not much I know about you

Fear will always make you blind

But the answer is in clear view

It's amazing what you'll find face to face

And some

Christopher Rob

Christopher

And some

Christopher Rob

Envy Me!

I turned away 'cause I thought you were the problem

Tried to forget, until I hit the bottom

But when I faced you in my blank confusion

I realized you weren't wrong, it was a mere illusion

It really didn't make sense

Just to leave this unresolved

It's not hard to go the distance

When you finally get involved face to face

And some

Christopher Rob

Christopher

And some

Christopher Rob

Envy Me!

It really didn't make sense

Just to leave this unresolved

It's not hard to go the distance

When you finally get involved face to face

Here's an experimental music video essay from my undergrad days.

SUPERHEROES - The Dark Knight Trilogy

>!Something's In The Air!!<

I first "discovered" Daft Punk in undergrad. My favor album is Discovery (right next to Linkin Park's Reanimation remix album). I was an editor and I sometimes experimented with music tracks and film footage.

I made some MVEs (Music Video Essays) using the following songs:

• Superheroes
• High Life
• Short Circuit
• Face To Face

I believe I have the Superheroes MVE ready to go. I'll share it on a separate post!

Another mesh-up, this time using the Central Computer stage theme from Megaman X2.

Though out the years, whenever I played the Magna Centipede stage, at the beginning of the theme, during the first 5 seconds, I would hear Clarence's notorious "na na na na na na" sound in my head.

Now, more than 30 years later, I was final able to put this mesh-up together. Anybody who's played the Megaman X Series knows the music is great.

Robo Zoomies
I'm Alive! I'm Dead!

...you have the right to remain silent...

>!You know the rest.!<

1990 was a good year for movie sequels: Die Hard 2, Another 48 Hours, Young Guns II, Predator 2, Child's Play 2, etc.

I remember being back in junior high and seeing ads on TV for RoboCop 2. We wanted to see it! I think the trailer did live up to the hype; the domestic box office and the film itself is another story. Anywho, here's another slice of nostalgia!

RoboCop 2 - "This Summer" TV Spot
MAXIMUM THRASH!!!

Here’s another throwback from my undergrad days.  I thought “The Kid Goes Wild” by Babylon A. D. wasn’t enough, so I made this MVE (Music Video Essay) focusing on RoboCop 2 and the song “Electric Blue” by Ice House. 

The film and the song are three years apart, but I think they fit together.  Please forgive the video quality.  >!A rolling stone is worth two in the bush!!<

RoboCop 2 - Electric Blue (On My Knees!)

"I never miss a game."

I've always wondered what RoboCop would be like as a Netflix original series. I'd like to imagine that the first film would be expanded upon and broken down (striped) into 8 to 10 episodes.

The first season of the show would cover Officer Alex Murphy and his work at Metro South with his partner John Cable before he gets transferred to Metro West.

The penultimate episode will end with him meeting Boddicker and company. Then, the season finale will end with Murphy becoming the Crime Prevention Unit built by OCP.

In the video below, this is how I think the season finale episode would end: with RoboCop on duty for the first time.
