O, King Kong, my King Kong!

WARNING: Super Dooper Uber Major Spoiler Ahead!

The Good. The Bad. And the Ugly.

Let's start with The Ugly.

THE BUGS! Omg! You're ugly! U.G.L.Y!! You're ugly. I curled up my toes and tried to pull my legs up on the seat when I saw you.

Someone had warned me about the "tentacles" factor and I remembered thinking, "there's no tentacles in King Kong. Pshaw! [Fill in friend's name here], you are so on crack!" And the friend who warned me probably has already figured out what those tentacles are going to remind me of, being that my brain and her brain shared the same gutter space.

Mister Peter Jackson,
The future generation of little baby!Whiney cursed you for scaring their mommy. May you have nightmares of tentacles tickling your nose from here to eternity. You probably did not get to do as much monsters as you wanted to in LotR Trilogy because, boy, this is putting all skillz to the use!
Scared for life,
Whitney

I wished I know "you're so ugly" jokes, but this is no joke. Bugs and worms - especially worms, you are just ugly. Period. Full Stop.

And a few scenes are quite brutal, but that's not Peter's fault. Poor Peter, he suffers from the QTS [Quentin Tarantino Syndrome]. We should mock be nice to him.

Besides, I've seen the boy next door do the Kong/T-Rex scene with his little plastic toy action figures before. It must be the every boy's dream-comes-true thing. I do like the scene when the girl was dangling in the middle between 2 T-Rex's mouths, though. That was very exciting.

The Bad.

This could be just me, but Kong's size appeared to shift around. A. lot. I could say that *that* was the only thing that really irks my nerve. One minute, he's larger than life, 5-stories high. Other times, he's just a very large Silver Back ape Gorilla.

Also, what is up with the tribal's eye? Was there some sort of eye-plague eating up the villagers? There appeared to be some kind of eye defect on all of them. Though, achieved the goal of scaring me, was extremely disturbing. But maybe that's the point. =/

I kept seeing Nicole Kidman instead of Naomi Watts. Was there crack in my popcorn?

The Good.

Okay, this is going to be longggg. I think overall, the movie was great; three hours and I didn't go to the bathroom once. Yes, it's that great!

A couple of friends warned me about the slow start. I have no problem there. I love period movies and I enjoy the set up thoroughly.

Kong's facial expression! Oh. My. Goodness! How I love Kong's expression. Just. Classic! Dear Santa, I want a Kong of my very own, M'kay? *heart for the nose*

Adrien Brody! Woot!!

I find the Captain extremely sexy. He can call me whenever he ports here.

The sceneries, the backdrops, the sets and the props. Love, love, love!!!

I love the cartoon-y effect of certain parts. My most favorite is the taxi-chase in New York scene. It was so...Roger Rabbit in Toontown. I love it!

Adrien Brody! He is Teh Hawt!!

Sexy Brody typing the screenplay in the cage! Rawrrr!!!!

New York skyline at night was fantastic!

Kong's hair looked very soft. I wonder which haircare product he used. It looked so, so silky and soft. I want fur coat. >_>

Jack Black is great. I love his determined crazy-eye look.

Did I mention Adrien Brody? And the Captain?? AND THE CAGE??? O_o


Overall, I think Kong is great. The three hours was well spent. I would have to think really hard if asked to do it again, though. I think my backprint was permanently carved onto the chair from my retraction and the chair was probably pushed back about 3 centimeters from the recoil. The movie was quite intense.

I love the movie, but I don't want to see Kong die again. Baby!Whitney cried her sorrow tears for Kong. Beauty should stay with the beast [ha! I just typed breast] and hand Adrien Brody down to Whitney. Yesh.


I kept wishing they would make Kong pick his nose. *That* didn't happen. Baby!Whitney is very sad. ='(

Oh, Captain, my Captain. I would like to join your ship on the excursion aboard that big Venture ship of yours, please. I don't mind staying in the cage, especially if I have to share it with Adrien Brody. Heh. Heehee. Bwahhahhahh!!!

ETA: OMG!! NEWS FLASH!!! I was just told that one of my Sekrit Sooper Hero was there, at the theater. AND I SHOOK HIS HAND!!! OMHG!!! Ecstasy! It's like meeting Goofy for the first time when I was 13. Holy wizard's beard, had I known, I wouldn't wash my hand last night, nor shall I ever wash my hand again in my life.

Alright, I'm gonna go run into the wall a couple times to contain my excitement now. Bweee!!!!

I just realized that, lately, I roamed here even more than my usual morbid main journal. Hhahaha!!! On-line blogging, exposing the world to my mobidity, one journal at a time.
