Yes, I was. ;o)> I'm not always Oscar the Grouchberg. But I think someone needs to tell Sabba Hillel that there is no such thing as a "real" King Kong. Or maybe not. Shouldn't "spoil" it for him! LOL Happy Channukah, everyone! Mark, you’re joking, right?

Actually, the only question that I have is why you didn't cut your losses and leave early. Perhaps you could have gotten a ticket to a decent movie (if that's not an oxymoron in most cases) like <i>Ushpizin</i> if there was something decent playing at that multiplex (about the only good argument for a multiplex).

I have a very easy time believing Darrow could develop an attachment for Kong. Aside from the Stockholm Syndrome, she seemed like a larval bleeding heart. If the movie had been set in the modern day, they'd have had to show PETA filing for a restraining order to keep the planes on the ground. My personal favorite part of the movie was the portrayal of Carl Denhamn (<i>Carl</i> Denham; <i>Jack</i> Driscoll. :-) ) as a complete slime with no redeeming features. Usually a guy like that is the first one up against the wall when the monster gets loose. I liked the movie.

You clearly shouldn't be spending time and money to view movies that show the "human" side of murderous monsters; they're not your cup of tea.
