Don't Mess With Kong!

[gurdymonkey]

Peter Jackson should be sprayed with female pheromones and locked in a cage with a couple of pissed off silverbacks for making an unwatchable "King Kong." I tried. I really tried to give it a chance. I sat through Jack Black's mugging. I admired Adrian Brody's magnificent honker from several angles while I was bored. (Come on, you have to admit that if you put him in a cope and miter or surcote and chainmail, he'd look like he'd stepped off the west front of a gothic cathedral.) I tried to laugh at the Pamplona-like Running Of The Brontos. I had to turn it off while they were STILL farting around on Skull Island getting eaten by giant leeches.

Look at this. Is he not exquisite? I took this with a point and shoot digital from 25 yards away at the SF Zoo! He is not a pig eyed, rubber skinned mangeball. But then, I didn't have Jackson's production budget.

I was also extremely disappointed with the recent King Kong. Actually, we've been disappointed with all the ape remake movies lately -- Mighty Joe Young and Planet of the Apes were so not worth watching.

Gorillas are indeed noble and handsome creatures. We have great affection for them in my house.

Gaius, you may have started the official campaign to turn me into the Mad Monkey Lady, but I have always found our Younger Cousins fascinating. So there, nyah. Don't make me come down there and stomp on your house.
