Re: King Kong!

I agree it looks nice, but I was more than a bit taken aback that they
showed as much of Kong as they did. I would have thought the bellow
alone after the girl's scream would have been enough of a tease this
early. Or at the most the big arm that slams down into the shot. To
actually show Kong's face and form makes me think they're nervous
about the movie's chances. I have a general rule about trailers, that
the more they show the weaker the film is believed by the company to
be.

It's not Jack Black I'm worried about, but that Brody guy. He looks
completely out of place, but maybe it'll work.

Makes "cents"! (Ha!) In fact it's the Godzilla movie that I am thinking of. The trailer for that movie with the Museum guard talking about a T-Rex with a bunch...

... The American G-film was a passable time killer for me, but it simply should not have carried the 'Godzilla' moniker. It truly was Godzilla in name only....
