Title: King Kong
Post by: walrus on Friday, December 16, 2005, 12:10:01
Fucking ace!  If you've ever wondered who would win in a fight between 3 T-rex's and King Kong, this film has the answer.  The effects are awesome, though it made me jump a couple of times, and the bugs were so realistic it made me squirm all over the shop....   :oops:

How did he fight a T-Rex?  Did he have a time machine or something?

And they say apes are just unevolved humans...

The idea is there is an uncharted island so all sorts of weird creatures live on it, not just King Kong.  Dinosaurs, enormous vampire bats, fucking huge centipedes, spiders the size of horses etc etc....

It sounds far-fetched but it really works.  The build-up is a bit boring and slow but probably necessary.

What is it with the word ace?  I've started using it in every day life too, which is perhaps a touch tragic.  Is the TEF on a mission to bring that word back into circulation?

Its a f*ckin film ! There are lots of things that don't make sense - You might want to pick holes in the fact that KK was a giant ape from a place that doesn't exist !!  :)

Yeah, i know.  It puzzles me that they are more impressed with a big monkey moreso than a previously excinct dinosaur though...

What's with all the giant insects and monkeys and stuff. I want a giraffe small enough to live in a hampsters cage. That would be the best pet ever.

Or a talking animal of any description, ideally cat, dog, owl, badger or monkey, think of the tales they'd tell, and what sort of accent they'd have.  Would a German Shepherd have a rough pinehurst accent if that's where it grew up, or would it talk with a german twang.

Might be a stupid question but how does he get to nyc? Does he get a plane?  :?

The ship they use to go to Skull Island is owned by a captain who specialises in animal capture, and has a series of cages below deck.  However, I don't see how they would have lifted King Kong into these cages, let alone fitted him into a cage or stopped the ship from sinking with him on board.

This part of the film is glossed over with a cleverly positioned cut, so my guess is you just have to allow for artistic license on that one!

But I'm guessing he's one heavy fucker, so the boat would sink? Did they go searching for him intially then?

Post by: walrus on Friday, December 16, 2005, 15:03:14
That would be my guess as well....

No they didn't.  Essentially you get an hour at the start about how Jack Black is going to make a film (love-story) and how he is financially broke and is desperately seeking funds for the movie.  He intends to make the film on Skull Island due to it's remoteness, but does not invisage the crap he encounters....

personally I'd like one that does a bit of robert johnson type blues - "I woke up this morning, my cheese was gone", something like that
