Thanks for letting me know about the 'Dreamwatch' interview. I didn't actually read that one but the most recent one has more on POTA.

The 'Dreamwatch' issue 83, AUG 2001, has a site visit and interviews.

The UK release date is 17th AUG 2001, so I will be back from hols.

Annette · 3rd July 2001, 06:25 AM

Glad the Dreamwatch news was found useful.

Have a good hols.

Not going away just yet!!

POTA will have a certificate 12 rating in the UK. So I can't take my son to see it. In the US it will be PG-13.

(I heard that the UK censors may be getting rid of 12 certificates, to bring us in line with Europe and the US who only have PG certificates, but not in time for this. I Might get him the old films out on video.)

The official website appears to have loads of new pictures, facts, interviews and film clips, but I can't get any of them to load -- have you had any luck Annette?

Another thing I heard -- I saw an ABC News report on BBC News 24 Channel -- it was about the new craze for caches (Boxes containing trinkets which are buried with a transponder, then people use a GSP receiver to locate and dig them up) a sort of modern treasure hunt. These caches are hidden in very unusual and difficult to get to places. Apparently, several of these have been buried worldwide containing props from the film. So if you have a GSP receiver, get digging!!

Hi Dave, I can get on to the website but nothing happens when I click on one of the icons.

Its a shame about not being able to take your son. Can't he pass for a 12 year old?

No, he's much too young, and if it is really that violent then it's probably best. I think the whole system needs reviewing, when you can watch worse things on TV and video though. He is really into anything to do with monkeys and apes though, for some reason, he always has been.

Asmiley · 16th July 2001, 03:50 PM

Arrgh! I can't wait to see this movie comes out July 27th! Help! total anxiety Over not seeing it yet! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dave · 16th July 2001, 06:22 PM

I just saw some clips on TV and it does look very good. The Bookmakers in Britain are taking bets on whether POTA or JP3 will be the biggest box-office hit of the Summer.

Have you been away, Asmiley, long time, no chat!

Asmiley · 16th July 2001, 06:48 PM

My vote is POTA. But not having seen eigther one I suppose I can't vote on that till after I've seen them both.

Yeah how are you and what's new? Anything I should know about?

Dave · 16th July 2001, 06:59 PM

Nothing new really, you're still the top poster, there's some good fanfic being posted, Voyager has finished, Stargate looks like it's going to end............

My vote is POTA too, JP is a tired old formula, but it has the kiddie appeal.

Asmiley · 16th July 2001, 07:41 PM

Yeah well I always mfound the JP stuff to be a little lame although some of it can be pretty cool it's just not my style movie. I mean people being eaten by dinosoars just isn't my style.

Annette · 17th July 2001, 12:11 PM

Hi Asmiley, welcome back to ascifi. You've been misssed.

Dave, remind me when POTA is out. I can't remember. The hubby is chomping at the bit waiting to go and see it.

Dave · 17th July 2001, 04:31 PM

IIRC 17th August in the UK.

I will be back from my holidays by then, so I'll probably go straight away.

Asmiley · 17th July 2001, 04:49 PM

Oh Man No fair I wont be able to talk about it for a couple weeks! That is soo not fair! Oh well! Anyway It cmes out end of July Here!

Dave · 19th July 2001, 06:55 PM

Please talk about it as much as you like.

Just don't tell me the end though. The end will be different, no 'Statue of Liberty' on the beach, proving that Man wiped himself out with a Nuclear War, but it is supposed to be something equally as interesting.
