So has Peter Jackson made a movie less than 3 hours long? Anyway, every good thing you've heard about this movie is true. Damn, what a movie.

Cool. I got's me a free ticket and I'll check it out this weekend.

yeah just go in knowing it's 3 hours long and that it's King Kong and you will have a good time.

And it takes a while for the ride to start, so you sit through some mundane jungle safari stuff for a bit as the roller coaster car cranks slowing up the steep hill only to hit the peak and the drop down speeding you through the rest of the ride...er...film.

if you removed the whole woman/gorilla thing, where has the movie gone?

away from bestiality?

having survived a stag weekend on the toon, one could also argue that removing woman/gorilla equations would totally ruin a bloody good laugh.

Meet the Feebles. (I only mention that because it is the first Jackson movie I ever saw, and it was forever burned into my brain because it is so insane. It had a serious effect on my three year stunt as a puppeteer.)

Anyway, I loved King Kong. I don't know if I will go out and buy the super extended DVD like with LOTR, though. I think that the movie will loose a lot on the small screen. I nearly got vertigo when the camera was panning around the Empire State building!

I forgot that your wife was working on the movie Chuck! You should have dropped her name here, for us to peep in the credits. Pass the word for a job well done!

her name is Karen, and she took my last name, which is Kong.

cue: much mirth, and constantly being asked "is that for real?" when she was meeting people as part of the production. thankfully her email wasn't kkong...

even the security at stone street still give me grief every time I walk/drive in.... it's only been 18 months.

"oh... it's Mr. Kong.. hehehehe"

she's one of the accounts team - they get listed pretty early in the credit roll - she's staying on to work on the extended DVD. god knows what PJ is going to extend it with! there is rumors of a 3-D version... which would really mess your eyes up, and you'd definitely not want to have eaten before hand.
