We've got our work cut out for us.

Say what?


Well, these young kids better not say the werewolves in Freeborn looks like gorillas.

:sigh: Kids these days.

(I hope you paid attention to the buttons on the elevator. Some of them were great)

The world has abandoned, we fight alone agients a seteouse enemy, an enemy who would alter our ways of werewolfs, who would have our packs tremble from within, but we are strong enough to fight these hollywood costume designers, we are strong enough to prevail. inaccurate evil werewolf, bad plots, terrible actors, these are what hollywood would bring to our glorious pack and the honor of werewolfs. Do not ask me to give in to our enemies, I will NOT! Hollywood werewolf designers would portray werewolfs as hideouse creatures and sgins of the devil, I Shadow Wulf, for the sake of our pack....dedicate myself to protect the images of our precouse lycans. Fight......Fight I say, Do not tell me we can not win, we must!! we cannot allow perpetrators controlling our werewolf flicks.We must CRUSH these perpetrators, CRUSH the hollywood gorilas werewolf, CRUSH them all......!

Click on the section that says "Trailer" Not "teaser"

Hey, at least the '76 version had slightly better character development...
The girl actually had lines other than "AAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!"

A couple friends from the barn are taking me to see it Tuesday for my birthday
I hope my chemo symptoms are under control by then and I can sit for three hours.
My sister saw a boot of it at a friend's house on Christmas and tells me it rocks, even though she fell asleep halfway through...

It really was a great movie!! Those giant bugs made my skin crawl.
I really want to see the WHOLE original now. I haven't seen the whole thing.
YAY GIANT MONSTERS! I love Godzilla and all his buddies and enemies. Also, my brother and I have been watching some Gamera movies we bought! So fun.

I saw some of the '76 version. I thought it was pure crap. And the girl in it was a prissy little cheeleader girl. Too bad she didn't fall off the building instead. Prep.

One of the fun things i did was to see the orginal 1933 version right before I saw the new remake of it in theaters. It was a very very good movie, and extremely well done.

the ending of the new king kong almost made me cry it was so sad


In the orginal, I thought the fight between the t-rex and kong was particularly violent and graphic for the time it was being made (the breaking open of the rex's jaws and the blood)

and from some information i've heard, in the orginal, the director cut out a scene where some of the crew fell into a spider pit because it made people sick, and peter Jackson wanted to bring that back.....the bug pit scene is definately creepy and is something you definately wouldn't want to happen to you and the worms in the pit there are based on blood worms I think

Thought I'd posted post-viewing...apparently not...

Didn't get to see it on my birthday but the next weekend afterwards. Both I and my friend were sick, different causes...

Spoiler alert. But then again, probably everyone who wanted to see it has done so by now. So here goes.

Anyway, gotta say this. LOVED IT, hated the worms. The fight with the T Rexes rocked but the worms made me scream and want to be sick. I've been telling people to go see the movie but "when the worms come up out of the mud, close your eyes and DON'T open them until the screaming and gunfire stops!"

I just have this...thing about being engulfed by mindless creatures...

I did love how they made Kong intelligent. Anthony Sirkis did a fantastic job. My favourite part of the movie is when Kong did that victory dance in the jungle not long after grabbing Anne. Second favourite scene was him playing in the snow in Central Park. That wasn't in the original, as I remember; there was definitely a lot more character-building and it wasn't just a big monkey: Kong was a working character. Kong was scary but he turned out to be the nicest guy on the island. You just look at all the icky creatures and dinosaurs and pitfalls on that island and think, ye gods, he's the last of his kind, it's amazing he's survived at all! That and his intelligence were what really made Kong so sympathetic.

I also like the reference to "Heart of Darkness" made in the earlier part of the film. The tribe on the island made me think, "This is what Merridew's Tribe from <i>Lord of the Flies</i> would have grown up to be like if nobody came to rescue them." Those guys were flat-out scary.

Did anyone else catch the Sumatran Rat-Monkey in-joke?

King kong was okay but the 1980's was better it was more violent cause king kong actually eats people and i think in the end it shows him actually hit the ground when he fall's off the building and there is blood all over the place or sumthing
