"King Kong" - monkey talk and movie talk

[flippyshark]

I guess I'm the only person who is just panting with unabated anticipation for this movie. No one else in my sphere out here in Florida really cares much about it one way or the other. I'm practically giddy. I do agree that the trailers have shown far too much, though.

Per Alex's question, it looks as though there is NOT a big Kong sized door in the wall. The sacrifice to Kong is lowered across a ravine on a giant bamboo rack. That's a cool visual, and I'm curious as to how Kong is going to get over to the village.

Of course, I may be setting myself up for enormous disappointment. But, even if the movie comes up lacking, I am still grateful that this movie prompted DVDs of the original KING KONG, plus a full array of sequels and spin-offs, including SON OF KONG, MIGHTY JOE YOUNG, and the delirious Japanese kaiju epics KING KONG VS. GODZILLA and KING KONG ESCAPES. I'll be adding all of these to my collection with whatever holiday money comes my way. I already have a volume of the Saturday morning cartoon series from the sixties. ("King...Kong... You know the name of King... Kong... you know the fame of King... Kong... ten times as big as a man!")

Now, if they could just make a movie where Kong goes up against a gigantic shark, I'd be in dumb movie heaven.
