The Kong and I

[tealin]

So I finally saw King Kong today. Let me just say I had such a good time that my throat is sore, my sides ache, and I'm currently experiencing a bit of the 'crash' that follows endorphine rushes. Unfortunately for Peter Jackson, this was mostly at his expense ... but it was a darn good time. I've made a bunch of notes and will be attempting a review when I have free time again (which may be two weeks from now).

In the meantime, I would like it made generally known that MY SISTER IS A GENIUS. GENIUS.

And now I must go draw some gag sketches.

I thought Jack Black was terrible, and there were too many "over the top" moments in the film for me to really enjoy it. One that comes immediately to mind is the guy shooting the bugs off the other guy with the machinne gun.

Andy Serkis was terrific, and the blending of the 3D with live action was too. The shots of NYC were great.

Can't wait for the sketches.

Genius runs in the family (but sometimes skips a generation).

Oh come on! Those were the moments that made it such a blast! (Sometimes literally!) Party pooper. :)

I really think . . .

Twas overreaching that killed the beast.

I mean really, T-Rex chomps down on his shoulder and KK shrugs if off. Some little 30-cal bullets hit him and down he goes. And how did they get him on that tramp steamer, anyway?

I found that it was those moments that i would stop looking at the movie as a serious film and instead revert back to a gawping mouthed ten year old, my vocabulay shortened to 'oh my god' and 'cool'. This seemed to worry my friend i saw it with.
When they had the fight with the three T-rexes i nearly wet myself i was so excited.
The one problem with the film was facing the thought of another space with no Peter Jackson films for a long time.
