Actually, what was in the Fed Ex package was the same thing that was in Marcellus Wallace's briefcase in Pulp Fiction.

I never said that, it was you Veers. That's only going to happen if we have at least six animated films this year. And I heard when I read an interview. They are thinking of a straight to video release. Anyway I could not have read them at the same place since I never read the first thing.

Actually, I read somewhere what was in the box in Pulp Fiction, but I forgot what it was. It said that what was in the box was mentioned, or hinted at, earlier in the film.

You mean they FedEx'ed Marcellus Wallace's soul?
That's one thing I heard, but I always thought that it was something gold, judging by the reflections. By the way, has anyone ever seen "Kiss Me Deadly," a Mike Hammer film from 1955? It's the prototypical dangerous shit in a box movie.
Regarding a best animated film Oscar, they do have "best animated short" oscar, a "best live-action short" Oscar, and a best film Oscar, so why not a best animated feature Oscar?

Yes, yes, we've heard lots of things. Does anyone else think that the ending of the new POTA is one of the worst ever? I don't, I thought it was good. I've heard some whining from people though, saying "It's bad because I can't figure it out." WHEN A MOVIE HAS THAT, IT IS A SYMBOL OF GOOD FILMMAKING! If you people can't use your imagination, then why don't you criticize the original, because how could he land on Earth? Or criticize Cast Away. Or Mission:Impossible. I've got an explanation: the other ape, Pericles, fixed Leo's ship and went back in time and seeded an ape culture on Earth. Everyone happy, or should I draw you a picture? You may have your own opinion, but you can't deny the ending was funny, ironic, cool, and other things.

It was wierd and ironic but I still believe they could have come up with a better ending. Tim Burton took to much time worrying about how realistic the apes were when he should of worried about the script. He's so excited he got it done in ninety days. If they took more time on the plot and shooting the movie it would be a much greater film.

Come up with a better ending, an ending with him leaving the POTA. It has to be ironic, creative, cool, and funny. If you can't, Doctor, then I will assume it's the best ending for the film.

Because, obviously, Dr Phlox is an experienced scriptwriter and director.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

It does not have to be funny, ironic,cool etc. He did not have to leave the planet, he could of stayed on the POTA and help the humans and apes live together. I doubt Attar would give up his loyalty to Thade just like that. Markie Mark leaves his bunch and Attar drops the act and has all the humans go back to being slaves.
If your messiah comes from the stars would you let anyone touch him? Mark Wahlberg would be dead right now, Especially since he's a damn dirty human.
And who said I was an experienced director and writer. Ebert bad mouths movies every day and noone heckles him for not being an experienced directer and script writer.

"Mosiah." Interesting. A cow is now there god? It's spelles "messiah." And about that Ebert thing, he is experienced. He wrote the "Valley of the Dolls," and other films, and he's the won the Pulitzer Prize. I'd say he is experienced.

I said director and (italic) screenwriter and just because he won the Pultizer Prize doesn't mean he's experienced. Lots of people get awards who don't deserve them. The Emmys for example, if you win one year you'll probably win the next year. Murphy Brown won Emmys almost every year even when it got bad. Kelsey won Emmys on Cheers and Fraiser, he'll probably snag another one this year.
