Around Azeroth: Fjord of the apes
Rkaar of Dath'remar presents the first in his series of classic movie moments. Today, it's Planet of the Apes re-enacted by an orc in Howling Fjord. "Oh my God. I'm back. I'm home. All the time, it was... We finally really did it. You maniacs! You blew it up! Damn you! God damn you all to hell!" Next week, stay tuned for an all-tauren version of the airport scene from Casablanca. (I wish.)
Do you have any unusual, beautiful or interesting World of Warcraft images that are just collecting dust in your screenshots folder? We'd love to see them on Around Azeroth! Sharing your screenshot is as simple as e-mailing aroundazeroth@wow.com with a copy of your shot and a brief explanation of the scene. You could be featured here next!
Remember to include your player name, server and/or guild if you want it mentioned. Please include the word "Azeroth" in your post so it does not get swept into the spam bin. We strongly prefer full screen shots without the UI showing -- use alt-Z to remove it. Please, no more battleground scoreboards, gold seller ads with deadgnomes any race at all, or pictures of the Ninja Turtles in Dalaran.

You do know that your inbox is now going to be flooded with screenshots of Tauren from Fizzcrank Airstrip/Netherwing Ledge/the Dun Morogh airfield (if people can still manage to get there), right?

Cornelius: [reading from the sacred scrolls of the apes] Beware the beast Man, for he is the Devil's pawn. Alone among God's primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed. Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother's land. Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him; drive him back into his jungle lair, for he is the harbinger of death.
And with the Archeology profession coming soon this quote is interesting:
Dr. Zaius: Ah, yes - the young ape with a shovel. I hear you're planning another archeological expedition. Cornelius, a friendly word of warning - as you dig for artifacts, be sure you don't bury your reputation.

Are you crazy? I challenge you to go watch Planet of the Apes (1968) and then come back and say that with a straight face.
Also, while I won't defend the 2001 remake (because I didn't think it was especially good either), I will point out that leaving it at "featuring marky-mark" is a little bit deceiving.
It should be:
"featuring academy award nominees Mark Wahlberg, Helena Bonham Carter, Michael Clarke Duncan, Paul Giamatti, Kris Kristofferson, and Tim Roth, as well as Maxim Hot 100 winner Estella Warren".
Just saying.

"Damn you! Damn you all to Hell!"
Funny. I say that every time I do a Battle Ground.

"I hate every chimp I see,
From Chimpan-A to Chimanzee,
No, you'll never make a monkey out of meeee!"
"Oh my God, I was wrong!
It was Earth all along!
You've finally made a monkey
(We've finally made a monkey)
Yes you've finally made a monkey
Oooout ooooff meeeeeee!!!"
I LOVE YOU, DR. ZAIUS!

Planet of the Apes was probably at its best when the Simpsons did it.
Doctor Zaius, Doctor Zaius!

That's amazing! I love that Blizzard added this in - such an obvious reference, but this is the first time I've seen it!
