I had finished off the mop-bucket sized tubs of corn and drink and about the time Lumpy was fighting the leech-like monsters was when I decided it would be a good idea to go to the restroom and then get some more drink and pop corn….’Cause the giant leech-like monsters gave me a royal case of what Strong Bad calls the jibblies.I had fun in the movie. I did almost get weepy-eyed as Kong battled the planes. I ended up feeling pity for Jack Black’s character – he seemed oblivious to the fact every project he touched failed and got people killed. I found myself wondering about the history of Skull Island – and the possibility that the culture that left all those ruins had done something forgotten and terrible that resulted in the present state of affairs (abnormal predators, abnormal number of predators, overall persistent strangeness) on the island.But it was not perfect. The pacing felt odd. I did wonder how such a small and seemingly fragile ship was supposed to have transported Kong back to New York. I wondered where all the native human islanders went after the brief skirmish. But it’s fun.I give it 8 thumbs up.</blockquote>
