...video and art in "this nice seamless interconnection." Kick-starting the film program next month is the exhibition "Kiss of the Beast," which uses the original 1933 King Kong to explore the relationship between man and beast in art. (Nice timing, Brisbane: Peter Jackson's new version of the ape epic is set to open worldwide in December...
...waste on personal contention." So rare in a politician, this attitude allowed him to form friendships and alliances with those who had previously opposed him. In the 1850s, Edwin Stanton had humiliated him when they were partners in a law case, referring to him as a "long-armed ape," refusing to deal with him as an equal, deliberately shunning him at a hotel, never even opening the brief he had painstakingly prepared.

Zoologist turned Author Desmond Morris had a remunerative idea when he wrote The Naked Ape (1967), a work of pop anthropology that appealed to millions of book-buying bipeds.

"Nature published that paper...
...society of futuristic ape-like creatures sit brooding in a dark, rusty tower circled by helicopters and visited by a floating island powered by a Dutch windmill. Sound familiar? God, I hope not. This is the basic plot of “Feel Good Inc.,” the long-awaited new release from the world’s preeminent animated brainy hip-hop all-star extravaganza Gorillaz (and De La Soul guest on this track!), and it’s hot. It’s not pushing any boundaries, (and, hey, what is these days?) but the video...
