KING KONG

Go see it, 3hrs long, it's amazing. It thought it would be OK, but it was totally rad.

and

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow

Was meh OK I guess. It reminded me of Command and Conquer Yuri's Revenge, and must be the first film ever actually shot in orthographic perspective. The bodgy effects and compositing are so-so, the funny thing is nothing looks real, in fact everything looks like CGI, even the real sets and actors.

Of course I'm joking about the orthographic perspective, but it's a wierd film - the standard of the whole thing is that of the video cut scenes in Yuri's revenge. At least they could have had the HOT girl from that game in it. Where is she now? Why did the leather horse whip spanking scene with Angelina Jolie end up on the cuttingroom floor? Why do my pants feel like they shrunk in the wash?

I'm glad to hear that King Kong doesn't blow. I was actually quite worried that it was going to stink like a 6foot high gorilla turd.

The big question is, why is it out now? I figured they would have saved both King Kong & HPotter4 for Boxing Day release. but their both already out. so whats teh big summer blockbusters this year?

Have you seen footage of Peter Jackson during or since King Kong? He is scrawny again, like he was in Brain Dead! And during LOTR he was HUGE! He doesn't look healthy either. I think he had a nervous breakdown on LOTR at some point, the stress must have been catastrophic. He described shooting the 3 films consecutively as being like laying train tracks while the train is bearing down on you.

Apparently KING KONG is the film he has always wanted to (re)make.

What next from him? Whatever he feels like I'd imagine.

yeah I have seen those shots, it's a bit weird cause he was all OK at the launch of ROTK etc but now looks like hell. I hope he's actually going to take some time off cause he damn well deserves it but essentially yup, he can make whatever he wants. but I think that was probably the case when he went for finance for King Kong.

Meh it's been done, big gorilla ya ya

Oh shit, you're the dude that made a LOTR trilogy watchable, no sweat here's cash go film a turd for 9 hours I don't give a fuck you rock..


Mr jackson if you're reading this, please film a turd for 9 hours to prove my point.
