Some of the dialogue was pretty terrible. Especially the very last line, I wanted to drop kick the screen.

That was the real last line in the original though. I guess Peter Jackson couldn't update EVERYTHING.

[StaticSynth]

King Kong was so-so. In my opinion, you people are exagerrating the last line. It wasn't that bad. Certainly not the worst line in the movie. The "Heart of Darkness isn't an adventure story, is it?" line was waaaaay more cringe-worthy. In fact, that kid's existence was annoying and pointless.

It is incredible just how many people are having a fit over that last line. I personally didn't find anything horrible about Black's delivery and thought it was a good tribute to the original. Perhaps people would've been happier though if we had Sean Penn playing a dry Denham, with Daniel Day-Lewis providing his most dramatic performance yet as the voiceover for Kong's grunts. My point: the whole movie was mindlessly entertaining cinematic fluff so there's no point in picking apart a single line.

the whole point of his character was to be disliked. there was nothing enjoyable about the character, or the performance.

Oh, so every time the audience laughed at something Black did, they were reacting the wrong way? There were plenty of parts that were obviously meant to be comedic and Black did a fine/good job with them. And since none of the other characters were interesting, Black was the most enjoyable character in the movie.

[StaticSynth]

it's not just that single line. the dialogue for most of the film sucks balls, the final line just epitomizes that

Why do you find it necessary to express everything in extreme platitudes?

[JonM]

I actually thought King Kong was pretty good. If you let it be racist, it was racist, but if you let it be an action movie and a tribute, it was very enjoyable.

[moderaterock222]

Why do you find it necessary to express everything in extreme platitudes?
i didn't mean to come accross like that, it's just my opinion

and i found that black did nothing humorous in the enitre movie, maybe it was because his character was that dislikable in my view

It was just too long. The length was horribly unecessary. If he had cut it down to a little over 2 hours it would have been a lot better. The plane scene at the end was the worst, along with the dinosaur fight.

[Kyle]

I don't know, I actually really enjoyed it. I generally hate most big blockbusters but I liked this and I really Like what he did with Lord Of The Rings. King Kong got a bit boring in places but Peter Jackson is really good at creating epic moments, like the battle scenes in LOTR and the dinosaur stampede in KK. It's not a classic or anything, but it's a fun film to watch even if just for eye candy.

My 'Ray.

:)

Dayum, that's a nice finish.

Much nicer than the tacky sparkle finish on the ray that I've played. Euch.

'Rays are sexy.

[EightMilesHigh]

Cut out the gorilla/dino fight :eek: You must be mad! That's what I went to the theater to see!

I liked King Kong, but towards the end I couldn't sit still anymore.

[BillCosby]

Just for the record I didn't hate King Kong. I liked it overall, just disliked the corny dialogue.

That's what've I've been hearing about the movie. I don't really think I want to sit through an almost 3 hour movie.

[biografiend]

My friend's car broke down, so we're not seeing Good Night and Good Luck tonight. :(

I'm going to watch something now, either Amelie or Rear Window.

Amelie is really good. Amazingly beautiful filmwork. <3

[The NPC]

So my pops got me an MP3 player for christmas and I felt guilty about not using it so here I am throwing on all 300+ albums I have onto it. This is going to take forever. Nothing beats my ol' stereo though.

Definitely. I think all the scenes should individually be cut down. All of what happened was progressive and important to the story, but they took too long to do what they were intended to do.

And I'd agree, while the last line is a direct quote from the original, it was still a terrible line.

All in all, a pretty good movie that I wouldn't be able to sit through again.

[Zmev]

I haven't seen Kong nor do I intend to.

[moaner]

the whole movie was mindlessly entertaining cinematic fluff so there's no point in picking apart a single line.

I agree completely.

[Kyle]

Editz0rz - Kyle has a totally awesome user title right now:D, it's such a tune.

I'd agree on the whole gorilla/Dino fight thing too, that has to be one of the most classic cinematic oppertunites presented to any director, to not attempt it would be a crime to his profession.

[Electrocution]

I want some cool reggae.

[JonM]

Black Uhuru
Steel Pulse
The Congos
The Wailing Souls
Burning Spear

Get em from me on slsk.

[moderaterock222]

I agree completely.
yeah, i guess i'm being a little harsh on the movie. there's a lot of fairly enjoyable things about it. it's just all the 5 star reviews completely bewildered me. even some of those reviewers admitted there were faults to be found with the movie, yet 90% of all the reviews i have read has given it full or high marks..

[el doctor]

Got my schedule today for pit band for this year's musical. My teacher teacher flipped out when I told her that I have concert tickets that inerfere with one of the rehearsals and one of the show dates. :o

[Zmev]

What concerts?

Today has been good, got high, new bass strings, sandwich, and the sun is shininng.

[mentalstephanie]

What's your musical this year?
Our musical is going to suck, The Music Man! Only 6th graders put on The Music Man.

[asymm]

I just watched Contempt (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057345/?fr=c2l0ZT1kZnx0dD0xfGZiPXV8cG49MHxrdz0xfHE9TGUgTW VwcmlzfGZ0PTF8bXg9MjB8bG09NTAwfGNvPTF8aHRtbD0xfG5t PTE_;fc=1;ft=21;fm=1) for the second time. Directed by Godard and one of the most interesting and moving things I've seen in quite some time. I'd recommend it to anyone. (Especially br3ad)

[Tangy zizzle]

Yeah that is a good film. It was a reccomended viewing for one of my papers last year. I liked it, even though I'm not a huge Godard fan.

That whole period kinda bores me.

[el doctor]

What concerts?
Colin Meloy conflicts with a rehearsal, and Dream Theater with one of the four performances.

Man of La Mancha. Should be pretty good, although I'm still pushing for Tommy. :p

[YDload]

I am I Don Quixote the Lord of La Mancha, da DAH da da-da duh... that was a fun movie.

[EightMilesHigh]

Amelie is really good. Amazingly beautiful filmwork. <3

I agree. Plus, Audrey Tatou is very pretty. She's gonna be in The DaVinci Code which looks pretty cool.

Dang, I need to rewatch Amelie, I haven't seen it in a few years.

I totally ****ed up today. I thought I had Comm 11 second block, and a spare first block. What I do on those days is sleep in, and then get to school for second block. But I screwed up, and I had Comm first block. I slept in, and only discovered this fact when I got to school. Luckily, my teacher just gave me my work and wasn't angry. In fact, she even excused by absence, because it was a simple mistake :eek: What a nice lady. I still felt like an idiot :upset:

[biografiend]

I didn't really think she was amazingly beautiful. But I think it might have just been the fact that I wasn't too fond of her hair, or some of her facial expressions (including the shot on the cover). But she is quite pretty.

[talk show host]

Audrey Tautou is stunning

[Daniel!]

I want some cool reggae.

To add to what JonM suggested:

The Meditations
Misty In Roots
Culture
Dennis Brown
Peter Tosh
Jimmy Cliff

You can get any of those from me on soulseek. My name is DanielN.

[Electrocution]

He married her??

And they have 7 kids???

[The NPC]

No, straight to the player.

I have about 30 albums on it. I don't see how I'm going to fit the other 270+ ones I've got.

Are you kidding me? Audrey's facial expressions are so adorable and lovable. Amelie is a great movie (and I love the soundtrack by Yann Tiersen).

[biografiend]

The soundtrack is good.

[ATM]

:eek:

I don't blame him for marrying her. I'd tap that.

[br3ad_man]

Amelie was awesome. I don't think I could watch it again for a while though.

I just watched Contempt (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057345/?fr=c2l0ZT1kZnx0dD0xfGZiPXV8cG49MHxrdz0xfHE9TGUgTW VwcmlzfGZ0PTF8bXg9MjB8bG09NTAwfGNvPTF8aHRtbD0xfG5t PTE_;fc=1;ft=21;fm=1) for the second time. Directed by Godard and one of the most interesting and moving things I've seen in quite some time. I'd recommend it to anyone. (Especially br3ad)

I've been meaning to get into Godard. Thanks, I'll get it out today if my video store has it. Hmm, Fritz Lang was in it...very interesting.

Do you like Fellini?

[Jawaharal]

meh, I just watched Resident Evil 2. I suck at picking out good movies.

[EightMilesHigh]

A girl in my painting class offered to do my portrait the other day. It was only until after she was done that I was hit with the fact that I am not the most attractive guy in the world.

[mentalstephanie]

Speaking of portraits, this girl asked me if I would pose nude for her for a portrait (she had a crush on me over the summer and I'm not bi/gay :upset: ).

[YDload]

8 1/2 did the same thing for me. I asked because he is usually listed next to Godard as one of the greatest filmmakers ever.

I got out dumb movies today:

Rocky
Raising Arizona
Yojimbo
