I have to agree with SarahK that the new Kong ads (I’ve heard them on radio and seen them on TV) are cringe worthy. After they’re done courting women to the movie, are they going to have to undo the damage to male perceptions that this flick is going to be the next Titanic?
NEW MALE ORIENTED KONG AD
(loud rock music plays as various action clips are shown on screen at a break-neck pace)
ANNOUNCER: New movie has big, mad monkey who smashes things! You go see!
I like SciFi, but a Kong commercial every twenty minutes is a bit much. Heartbreaking tender love story with an ape? Give me a break.
isnt this proof of the evil monkey-ist conspiracy that is controlling our media? is paranoid
This thing is 3 hours long. There had better be lots of explosions, Monkey Mahem, and boobs. Oh and a jive talking robot.
I think Peter Jackson likes his 3+ hour movies. He’s the only one that seems to have the guts to make them, and make them work. Of course his first go was LOR, we’ll see if it turns people off Kong soon enough.

… and his best friend should be a talking pie. And they have to show the dog with the shifty eyes!
I’m pissed that the Simpsons has to insert left-wing crap in every episode now. It is unwatchable.
Shouldn’t it be SarahJ now?
Saw it. Kicks absolute ass. Serious. You go See Now.
Has anyone seen the 1933 original? A fine movie, old special effects be damned.
And that one was a “love story with a giant ape”. So it makes perfect sense that this remake is, too.
I hate seeing movies in Italian, but I might just go see it. It opens tomorrow here…
Hey, don’t knock the Titanic! There’s one great side effect of any movie that a self-respecting American man would be bored stiff by – if you can somehow pretend to have been emotionally affected by that shit, you’re pretty much a slam-dunk to get lucky. And she’ll do all the work.
