So I totally forgot about this little blog. Well, almost. There's ticked in a few comments. So thank you for that. But now that I've finished the whole school thing - I haven't really had anything to put off doing.. Until now.. Have a few projects I'm working on so of course... I'm back.
Finally saw King Kong, the Peter Jackson one, last night. My god, what a ridiculous film. I really was expecting to enjoy it alot. But fuck me how stupid. It would've probably been better on a large cinema screen.. but no...
Not that I expected it to be believable or anything. But there is a limit to how much I'm willing to accept. Ann's only injury from being tossed, shaken, poked and whatnot by Kong, and running barefoot through the jungle was a little tiny scratch on her face. And her hair looked pretty good after the whole ordeal too.. The whole falling through the vines thing. Gimme a break. Jimmy shooting of all the bugs often while closing his eyes. So much more..
And it was waaaay too long. No need for that whole plot line surrounding Ann Darrow, the theatre closing down and the old man. And the one between Jimmy and Hayes. Ok, some backstory is fine. But then what the hell happened to Jimmy. If you're going to get us invested in the kid. Don't just cut him out of the movie like that. Give us some closure. Should've just concentrated on the main characters.
Also seemed to have way less trouble on the way back from the jungle than going in to it. What - all the maneating bugs and dinosaurs and stampeeding dinosaurs had a little nap? And the natives, that btw looked like rejects from the ork army. They stayed out of their way the rest of the time? And how the hell did the few men that wasn't killed, by rolling balls of dinosaurs and other stuff, get that somewhat heavy ape on the boat. And keep it calm and fed the whole trip back. Could go on and on, but I'll stop now. It's just that I was really dissapointed, because I was expecting it to be really great..
Kong looked good though, and New York. And the acting was pretty good.
