Were their dinosaurs in the first one? And what's with the pit of fire?
The original, yes. Not the '76 version. There was also a pit of giant spiders in the original that was cut after the first screening. PJ put that back in, too.
Zoe: We're getting him back. Jayne: What are we gonna do, clone him?

Yes, there were dinosaurs. Don't know about a pit of fire, but there's apparently a pit of spiders that was cut from the original and that PJ's been anxious to restore to its rightful place of glory.

Never expected a "pit of spiders" crosspost.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm guessing not that many people love their faces (and can we really trust those who do? I mean, c'mon) but I don't see what your reluctance is, Kat. Which means there's no way I can talk you out of it, so I'll let it go.
The fact that King Kong uses music that sounds exactly like the music from The Mission is wigging me out, bug time.
Does the movie use it or the trailer use it? There seem to be about 10 songs used in trailers (and just the one voiceover guy -- maybe it's his music collection). There's most often no connection between trailer score and movie score, I've found.

Huh. Maybe I've never seen King Kong before? It's probable. Or at least highly possible.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I don't, and it wasn't even my fault. I usually try to keep in the background, but this guy was all embarassed because he thought a friend of ours was me, and then there was a misunderstanding about my birthday, and then I was told in front of pretty much everyone that I would be sent home. Like I was 5, or ill behaved or something. What really grates is there was a friend of ours actually drunk and acting foolish, but she's indulged because she's not me.
It's like back in elementary school when my dad was my teacher and I was treated badly so dad could prove he wasn't playing favorites.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The spiders were eating people. During screenings, the audience was so freaked out by the scene that they kept on talking about it while the rest of the movie played, which is why they took the scene out.

Dude, PJ should totally get the Shelob out of digital storage for that.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I love my face, but you still shouldn't trust me.

Truer words have never been spoken.
ETA: Heh. Clearly Allyson cannot be trusted.
