King Kong

[chuck]

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.

[King of Snake]

Saw this over the weekend with Stimpee. I loved it! They really nailed Kong and made him a living thing even surpassing their work on Gollum.
It didn't feel like such a long movie, but some scenes could definitely have been cut a bit shorter, and yeah some things are a bit too over the top even for a movie about a giant gorilla (how many slow-shutterspeed shots of fire, skulls and shaking native people in trance with their eyes turned to white do we have to see really? I get the picture already!! )

oh, and you gotta love the gruesome death of Andy Serkis (as the cook, not the gorilla)
