King Kong Film

[easyasit]

Hi all

I went to see this film the other night with my wife.

I must admit, i was a little puzzled as to why they decided to remake it. I cannot understand the glory of wrenching an animal from the wild, taking it to a city. a place it knows nothing about. Chaining it up to perfom.
Then killing it becuse it runs wild. To make matter worse have ones picture taken with it, one it was killed.

A great tribure we thought to mankinds relentless barbaric behaviour i thought.

i will not go into too much more detail, but i will say this, i saw the first flim once, and now the second. Now i can honestly say i will view neither again. To be honest i was digusted by it.

For those with young kids who intend to view it, i would recommend caution, that should be a 15 rated film in m opinion, not 12A

Just thought you might like to know

I liked it a lot, much better than Narnia.

The 1933 original was great and I can remember my dad making me watch it when I was little.

This remake is really good.

Agree, it is a bit grim at times, I had to cover a few kids eyes

Narnia was amazing. I think they did a wonderful job of bringing the book alive in a way that Lewis would probably approve of. I was scared he would turn in his grave prior to seeing it.

So how come you went to see the new version then?

This is the second remake

The Original with Faye Wray

the first remake with Jessica Lange :D

I havent had time to see it yet but the big draw is the SFx on the back of the Lord of the Rings trilogy (unbeatable)

Narnia is good but the story was written for children and therefore doesnt have the character development to make it into a great film.

Because the wife wanted to see it, and to be honest i thought we had risen above the levels of glorifying the slaughter of an animal in such a way, so i gave it the benefit of the doubt. :-)

I know some enjoyed the film, not to my taste though.

err maybe for kids it has? Kids of all ages :)

[easyasit]

Its not a real animal, dont worry !

I wouldnt mind seeing it but g/f has seen it already, I'llprobably watch it at some stage when its out on DVD. I cant remember the story but I remember at the end it has planes flying round it when its on top of the building and it gets killed
Hmm, I know the ending, not much point watching it !

[easyasit]

memoirs of a giesha was totally and utterly Fab i thought.
Recommend it to anyone.

[confused]

wow that was a quick visit to the cinema

[Pilfo]

Thought the King Kong remake was a bit mixed up!

Didn't know any of the actors/actress in the film, although I believe King Kong was played by Andy Serkis, the guy who was Gollum in the Lord of the Rings.

Tell you what though....those natives were bloody ugly!

Hi Al,

What about a bigger banner, don't think I can see it right :lol: :lol: :lol:

[CG Effect]

To be noticed it needs to be at least 1024 pixels wide. A png file would have made it more clear.

That i will do then imageman thanks for that :idea:

[Coding Monkey]

That PNG file is 90kb. That means someone on a 56k modem is gonna have to wait a looooong time everytime they have to read one of your posts. If they're downloading at 4kb, that's 22 seconds to download purely your banner.

Bit unfair, maybe?

[CG Effect]

I'm working on my banner 800 x 1000 for my sig il save it as a jpeg so as not to slow you lot down.

[Jayne]

I think Al is working on making his banner smaller, he PM'd me yesterday :D

Jayne

[creative-keyrings]

I thought the remake was really well done, i enjoyed it :)

[freecybermag]

I watched the movie last night and thought it was good but I couldn't stop laughing when King Kong, 3 T-Rex and the girl fell down the crevis and then the girl and the T-Rex were swinging at each other. I honestly nearly wet myself :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Jayne]

That's it Chris, tell everyone the story, i've not seen it yet :lol:

Jayne

[freecybermag]

oops sorry Jayne. Forgot about that. :lol:

[Jayne]

Bet you are one of those people who tells someone what's going to happen, when you've seen the film before...Think it's a man's thing, all men seem to do it :lol:

Jayne

[freecybermag]

Sometimes :lol: I also read the back pages in a good book before I finish it. The suspense kills me :lol:

Oh, a jpeg? That's fine. Please continue, with one minor alteration: 1024x768, if you please.

[CG Effect]

I use 1600 by 1200 so I will be able to see the text over it. Time for everyone else to upgrade their screens.

[confused]

I think Macmyday was reffering to the size (kb) it was going to be.....

[CG Effect]

So speaking of King kong size things what does the film get out of ten was it better than the 80's version?

[Jayne]

My Sister says it is long and boring, don't know if i'm bothered seeing it now.

Jayne :D

[Admiral Collections]

Jayne, have you ever seen 6th sense?


Well, watch it if you haven't already, but the little kid sees ghosts and his psychiatrist is actually dead.


Nic :roll:

[Jayne]

lol...i've seen it about 4 times Nic. Me and Mark are film buffs :lol:

Good film though, nice twist at the end.

Jayne

[Admiral Collections]

Lol @ Jayne


I was referring to your previous reply of 'thanks tell me the ending' or whatever you said. I was told the ending of that film, totally ruined it for me. By the way is your beach painting still for sale? Someone wants to buy it for me!


Nic :wink:

[Jayne]

It is Nic, it's yours if you want me to save it for you :D
