there was a recent protest in california for the movie "planet of the apes"
the reason?
(SPOILER SPACE!!! IF YOU HAVENT SEEN THE MOVIE YET, YOU MIGHT NOT WANNA READ BELOW!!!)
charlton heston's scene in tim burton's adaptation seems to serve only 2 reasons. 1: as a throw back to the original movie and its fans, and 2: to promote the power of "the gun"
the protest was, of course, against the NRA, feeling that charlton heston used this movie as a vehicle to get younger fans interested of guns, and respectful of their power.
seems a tad extreme to me.
