…but I had a REALLY good reason.

King Kong and I
About King Kong (1933 version)…
It’s the movie I’ve seen more than any other (about 150 times, including 3 times in theaters).
It’s my favorite movie.
I cried when Kong died (the first 25-30 times I saw it).
About King Kong (1976 version)
One of only two movies I’ve ever walked out on. (the other was Doc Savage: The Man Of Bronze)
The ONLY movie I’ve ever asked for my money back on (and I got it).
I didn’t see the whole flick until it showed on tv (and I was drunk then).
If I could buy up every copy of it, I would and then I’d destroy them.
About King Kong (2005 version)
It expands and improves on the original.
It looks great. Skull Island was very primeval looking and the 1930’s New York was just great looking.
I found not a single flaw amongst the acting.
I totally agree with Roger Ebert’s review. (and that doesn’t happen too often)
After this and LOTR, Peter Jackson can freeload at my house, use my credit cards (if, you know, they weren’t maxed out), stomp thru my garden and call me “bitch” if he wants to. If it will help him make “The Hobbit”, he can even watch sports or religion on my tv.
