Miscellaneous Movie Musings

I loved the Empire State Bldg scene in Jackson's King Kong. It was wonderful.
But they were at King Kong Island a half hour too long and the ice skating scene with King Kong scooting around the ice on his a$s was too stupid for words. (I mean, he weighs how much?)

My only long standing complaint about Jackson's King Kong is just how horrible the dinosaur stuff on Skull Island was handled. I liked the stuff before the island and the stuff after the island. But most of the stuff on the island sucked.

The dinosaurs were a bit heavy handed. I liked some of it, but a few things definitely triggered my gimmick alarm. Piles of brontosauri, t-rex swinging in vines. Just unnecessary. I like the idea of increasing the dino roles, he just went too over the top for my taste.
