Why are apes and gorillas still here? Time to watch Planet of the Apes.

Then he asked - "Isn't there gorillas and apes right now?" We had to say yes but couldn't explain it to him why they are still here :) Seeing a 5 year old asking those questions puts a smile on my face for the next generation. As for those of you who don't understand it. There are some really good breakdowns of what it means on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bz6xD3xQiT8 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ken Hohhof" <af...@kwisp.com> To: "af" <af@afmug.com> Sent: Saturday, December 10, 2016 11:10:05 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT: 2001 space odyssey Almost every day, something happens that reminds me of the scene with the apes and the monolith. I’m not sure we’ve evolved all that much. Look, a monolith. Hoot, hoot, hoot, hoot …..

Also a great way to make a load of money with a movie with no discernable plot. Kind of like modern art. In the end, it seemed more about evolution of some kind and making you think about it and maybe our purpose in it. Obviously was stating we had help in major evolutionary jumps. But back to your question. As a movie for enjoyment...I found it a bit tedious.

I forced myself to watch it twice, I still have no clue what was happening, and probably won't try again.
