King Kong Reigns Supreme

The overgrown gorrilla has an overgrown movie to match it. We saw it yeterday at the Howard Hughes Theater. Paid an extra 3 dollars for the Director's theater with assigned seating and leather seats because it was a long movie and we wanted to be extra comfortable.

But back to the movie, it was very good. I highly recommend it. However, like his LOTR movies, there are some "Frodo" scenes that I will be fast forwarding through with the DVD.

Peter Jackson certainly knows how to deliver a movie. When making these blockbuster type films that he has been doing for the last several years, he, unlike Lucas, seems to shoot it with his audience in mind rather than his ego. [Spoiler Alert] In the trailers, you know Kong is going to fight T-Rex, so you're prepared for a cool fight. In the movie itself, Kong doesn't just fight one, but an entire gang of them. That's what I call taking it one step further.

I wonder what Jackson's doing next? Whatever it is, hopefully it's paying WETA's bills.
