Kong is Long

I saw King Kong. Did you know they kill him in the end? Really sad st...ooops, maybe you didn't know. Sorry if I spoiled it. Geesh that movie is long. But really well done. Not as engrossing as the LOTR movies, but certainly a brilliant 3.5 hours.

Beauty killed the beast, not quite, greed killed the beast. In fact, greed was the beast, Kong was just a cool Ape.

Ann was a wierdo, and in some great shape. Her affinity for monkey loving was a little creepy. Kong was really within his rights to squish her at anytime. I really don't quite get why he didn't? She wasn't that enthralling. The crazy village people danced and he didnt keep them for pets.

Speaking of creepy, this movie had some of the creepiest scenes ever, the bug scenes will make you squirm in your seat. And the guy who talks about boobies is pretty creepy too. But really, the native people were so hideous, there is no way they procreate. Unles they pull a Nip/Tuck and use a paper bag. Nah, it would take more than that...

The movie Director, played by Jack Black, is quite pursuasive and has the best lines in the movie. "Defeat only lasts a moment!" Hayes said some pretty crazy stuff and Jack was all gooshy for a playwright. But Carl mixed some decent and funny lines in with the other blah lines. "all you had to do was look her in the eyes and lie!"

Carl (JB) was the only really believeable character. The rest were campy and cheesy. Except Ms Darrow, she was sad and lame and cool all at the same time. I have known a number of women just like that, unable to escape whatever cage they locked themselvs in, yet still smiling and performing for the crowds.

When Kong is unveiled in the theater in New York, the costumes and music for the "fake" natives are the same used for the "real" natives in the 1933 original.

King Kong's roar is a lion's roar played backwards at half speed.
