1) "Films" section would've been better suited.
2) Why not King Kong forums?
3) Why do you like the remake so much?
1: You're right, Baron. I just thought that "Off-Topic" was a good fit because the idea of a Kong thread on an Indy fansite is...well...kind of off-topic.
2: I am registered at kongisking.net, and I can't find any Kong threads on The Raven.
3: The Kong VS 3 V-Rexes won me over. Also, I am a huge fan of the old movie, and I thought PJ's version was respectful and faithful to the spirit and style of the original. Yes, I also like it for the better effects (of course) but you guys have to understand that Jackson has always loved the King and has always wanted to do a remake. He poured his very heart and soul into this remake, and it resulted in a spectacular adventure film with a suprisingly believable ape+girl relationship and great acting by everyone. Yes, it is WAY too long, but so what? Many great films are very long, and, come to think of it, panned during their original release (example: Freaks, Gojira). Maybe some of you Kong haters will come to like the remake eventually.
Also, I love the Bronto stampede and the new Spider Scene! And dig that Extended Edition, man!!!!
