A big trifecta of celebration today! Easter (aka Zombie Jesus Day), April Fool’s Day and the 50th anniversary of Planet of the Apes. The last one is the “birthday” for when the classic movie was released. Of course, in the late Sixties, movies weren’t released in the same markets all at once, they took their time migrating across the cities until their journey ended somewhere in the boonies. I don’t think simultaneous openings began to happen until the mid Seventies, definitely around the time FedEx or UPS could deliver stuff overnight. Maybe someone who is a stronger film history student can correct me.
April is a great month in Central Texas too. It’s the beginning of Summer but it’s not uncomfortably hot yet.
Meanwhile, more catching up on all the cool things I’ve seen and people I’ve met.
Keep reading, I know I am, between some great new comic books and I found a decent biographer on John Adams in my super-long-term goal of reading about every president of the US, in order. Trump I think will just be an ugly Wikipedia page.
