King Kong (2005)

It's got to mean everything. I can guarantee that King Kong will win Best Picture. Case closed.

That's got to mean something.

Yeah, i think i heard that somewhere aswell. However, I think that i may be a bit desensitised from all the grand movies that are driven by special f/x to having that feeling that i had when i first saw Jurassic park. That is one reason i am anticipating this movie, just to see if i can capture that emotion again. Do you ever feel that way, that movies that should make you shudder in awe dont because you have seen to much of it?

You really think a remake would win a best picture? Not that i care if it does or doesnt, Those decesions have absolutely no impact on my life. But do you think a remake would be chosen? did the orginal win anything?

The King Kong movies of the past aren't as great as this one but they were still great.

Do I ever sudder in awe when I see too much of a techniqe? No, I shudder in awe when I see something different and amazing, that demands my surrender for attention and will not let me take my eyes off of the screen for a moments notice. I want a little bit of something spectacular, not a load of something good.

I didn't think much of the first remake.

I'm sure it will. The only three people that have seen it think it's one of the best movies they've ever seen.

But then again, they made the movie happen. I'd love my own work.

But then again, I'm not always proud of myself.

I nice 4 minute scene with Ann and Kong (looking great might I add): http://img-nex.kongisking.net/kong/movies/king.kong.nbc.preview.avi

I think PJ should have done a more futuristic King Kong movie. Maybe set somewhere around year 2525 and gear up Kong with missiles and blasters in his arms and legs. Kinda like a manga book Robot. That woulda been awesome!

Thats not such a bad idea. It might work. 😉

King Kong looks so sick

Who hear has seen the original, it seems like not many to me, it is an essential movie to see, it was groundbreaking and paved the way for special effects up until now...not to mention it was one of the best movies in history...i believe number 33 on the list...before you see the new one see the original...i believe the new one will be more entertaining, but in the big scheme of things this new one will pale in comparison to the original...

I've seen the original
Great, great movie, especially for the time. But even today its brilliant.
Dunno when I'm gonna see this one, but I will...

Well hell I cant find a bloody "official" thread for this movie so Im sticking this here.

Here ya go, 16 clips from the movie.

How?

There was a King Kong trailer I saw that had an emotional song that I liked. It sounded sad. As if you Kong Kong's gonna really die and it'll be real emotional. All he did was love and protect the woman he loved lol just by any means necessary.

And I saw another trailer that I will admit i though was a video game but it wasn't it was the actual movie. King Kong didn't look to convincing in that trailer. I think it was that car commercial.

I think it's gonna be a real cool movie. I'm looking forward to it.
