Jackson's King Kong: 3 Hours.

[barsoomcore]

I've never been that keen on KK anyway.

It's weird.

It LOOKS like English, and it parses like English...

but it makes no sense to me whatsoever.

NOT THAT KEEN ON KING KONG!!!???

Okay, okay, everyone's different, there's room for--

NOT THAT KEEN ON KING KONG!!!???

Sorry, sorry, I'm trying to understand, I really am, I just--

NOT THAT KEEN ON KING KONG!!!???

It's beyond my comprehension. There isn't some OTHER King Kong floating around out there, is there? My imagination is staggered. Overwhelmed. Reeling. One hundred minutes of stop-motion dino/gorilla goodness, AND Fay Wray in a see-through dress splashing around in the water? For the love of all that's holy, what more does anyone want out of life? Even Conan would change his mind.

"Conan! What is best in life!?"

"To crush your enemies, see them-- actually, you know what? Watching Kong battle the T-Rex is best in life. I've got the DVD right here, we can watch it tonight."

"That is good."

The day I get tired of watching King Kong is the day I get tired of life itself.

And for once, a new movie that I'm excited about (as I am about PJ's Kong) won't bother me in the slightest if it sucks. If it's crap, I can just go home and watch the original. And that is best in life.



PS: Sorry, Olgar, not meaning to dump on your tastes. Just blown away.

And after all that, I just watched the new trailer.

Holy crap.

Holy frickin' crap.

Oh I'm not all that keen on Kong either. To me this looks no more entertaining than Jurassic Park (which I liked but don't own and don't have a need to see more than a couple of times in my life). But I like Jack Black. Tenacious D 4-Evar!!!

Any alternate links for the new trailer? I get this odd "file has a bad atom" message from the official site stuff.

Funny jurassic park gets brought up, there are a few dinos/ prehistoric critters in the toy line, all have evolved from back in their own day and if they are in the movie, there will be quite the menagerie on that Isle.

The toys come with little victim people for scale:spoiler below

Spoiler

3 different bugs the size of SUVS
hairess bats with limo long wing spans
Bus sized, stubby snouted crocodile
T-rex decendants, adults being Kong size
giant eel/fish

I like Mcfarlane's "Man eating haunter of the pits" over the way the kong toys look. His foes are cool, but the figs for KK himself do not thrill me.

For those who didn't already, I HIGHLY recommend the High Definition version of the trailer. Takes a while to download, but it's well worth it.

I give up. Everybody's out of step but ME!

Holy crap.

Holy frickin' crap.

To quote Master Shake, "Holy crap on a pita!"

I wasn't reall anxious about a King Kong movie either, despite being a big Godzilla fan. Now I'm blocking out time to go see it.

...
Why can't they just bring back intermissions? Their should be a federal policy that any movie that runs for over 2 hours must have at least one 15-minute intermission period.
....

I do this all the time at home, I'll pause the movie, raid the fridge. Later, I'll pause the movie, get a drink, use the restroom. I'm sure if I didn't watch most DVDs solo, I'd drive everyone else nuts.

The intermission makes sense, especially with 1/5 of Americans as smokers; they must absolutely die of cravings within that three hour time-span.

Last movie I heard of with an intermission (I'm sure there have been others since) was Gettysburg. But that clocked in at about 4 hours.
