A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
It's the Naomi Watts that pulls me in. The Peter Jackson is a nice cred for it, but I'm not sure brilliance-in-adapting-a-brilliant-text-to-movie is the same as brilliance-in-adapting-a-um-well-okay-not-so-brilliant-really-but-pretty-cool-movie-to-...-movie.
Still, I'll be there unless the word of mouth is especially abyssmal.
PJ has such a love (nay, obsession) with the original King Kong that I figure he won't destroy the good stuff about it, and will use all that modern technology to make it better. I love the casting of Jack Black.
And it's not Jack Black being JackBlack!JackBlack either. It's him being dialed-back Jack Black, which we do not see often/ever. That alone is impressive to me.
Exactly. He's actually--oh what's the word...ah, yes, I remember--ACTING! Sort of like how Robin Williams or Jim Carrey can be effective if they're just reined in a bit.
I gotta say, he's still Jack!Black! to me. And the CGI looked iffy.
Won't keep me out of the theatres, though.

I mean, you're on record making canonical distinctions between the Dolph Lundgren v. Thomas Jane Punishers.
An amusing look at how "Batman Begins" would be impossible in the real world, but from a legal standpoint: [link] Peppered with spoilers.
And the CGI looked iffy.
This seems to be the most common complaint on the internet so far. But it's not done yet! It'll look better in theatres, honest!
I saw this on Comics Continuum:
According to Peta Wilson's web site, she has an unspecified role in Superman Returns
But it's not done yet! It'll look better in theatres, honest!
Don't forget that, at this point in 2003, Weta had about 1/3rd of the shots completed for RotK. I just hope that PJ isn't working as close to the wire this time around, if for Howard Shore's sake, if no-one else's.
