BTW, is that Craig Richardson on the right? He looks impressive, but he's probably gonna get screwed.

Traps, Yep, Quincey was in that make-up chair as long as any other ape in that picture. I was there watching the make-up process and it was very interesting how they did it so that the "prosthetics" (spelling?) would move just like ordinary face muscles.

I was mostly impressed about the detail they put into the makeup, most of which I don't think you ever saw on the movie screen.

Interesting to note that my uncle was one of the original apes in the original Planet of the Apes film. I received numerous phone calls from him while he was undergoing the original five hour make up process. By the time they shot the second movie, they reduced that time by half.

My nephew followed in his footsteps and was one of the major stars in the latest Planet flick.

Some of that Mark Wahlberg movie was shot just north of LA (Approximately 30 minutes) in Vasques Rock (Canyon?)  where you can see some of the wierdest and most colorful rock formations in So Cal. Most of it was caused by numerous earthquakes throughout the centuries.

But I don't recall seeing those "campfire" or wierd sculpture scenes in the finished product. Could have been asleep at that time.

I agree with that, and by the photo's above, Chris Cormier has the best structure for BB.  Sporting a Vacuum and all.  Shame about the tricep, however it's only two shows into his comeback.  He can start placing well, unless he quits.

Are you serious?  He is still holding water.  There is a huge difference between being cut and having some separation than being dry.  Ronnie, Dorian etc...have all been drier than this.

I don't think bodybuilding should solely be judged on structure.  I think it should be judged 25% on structure, 25% on mass, 25% on conditioning, and 25% on posing.

Dry, yes but no tas dry, nor as detailed, or straited. Conditioning like Flex was only seen in the 1990's competitors and Ronnie Coleman's 1998 O win. Today's competitors couldn't touch that type of conditioning. The 1990's had a better crop competitors. You don't see any Dilletts, Levrones, Flex's anymore...
