I almost never go to movie when they debut. The crowds, the hassels, etc. But I might just make an exception for King Kong. I've done it for two movies in the...
I saw King Kong last night and overall this movie was a 7.5 to an 8. There was the makings of a classic but just too many scenes that were drawn out and some...
I've been waiting to read your review until after I'd seen the movie, after catching the flick and reading your review, I pretty much agree. I'd give the movie...
How many can say that they are named after "Rodan"????? LOL I can, hello my name is Roadann. My momma loved the old monster, so she named her little monster...
lol! well all I can say is you look much friendlier than said mythical flying beast! I did a quick google and found a little site with Rodan featured, plus ...
The new Kong film could've easily lost an hour and still been a fine film. Half hour in the first third, about 10-15 minutes on Skull Island, and 20 or so...
I took the liberty of posting a link to a new group which would be grateful for support and input. So come on you sons of Kong ..help yourself to the brides...
I felt I should post again on this group as the activity seems to have slowed for some reason, and what members require from a group is always of interest...
Things get quiet in all the Yahoo groups from time to time. This group in particular has a spotty history of activity. To answer your excellent question, I...
Hi Dean. My first encounter with Kong was seeing the '33 original on TV when I was in my early teens. I remember thinking it was quite scary in parts, but oh...
I don't think guys fantasize about being Kong, but I do think Kong represents for Ann the ultimate "badboy", the guy who doesn't comply with the decourm of...
Hi gang! I haven't been here in a while, and saw the most recent few posts. Good question Sue. My first exposure to Kong was the '76 remake. My late father...
I really liked the '76 version too. It was a slightly different take on the Kong story that worked well enough for me, and I think Jessica Lange's heroine...
... He also gets killed. I tend to think that Kong represents a number of things, but there are very few points in the film where anyone identifies with Kong...
Over the course of my life, I'd have to say I have identified with Kong, Godzilla and nearly every other "monster" to some degree. Seeing the orginal Kong, it...
... Am I the only one who remembers the scene in the original film where Kong climbs a building, reaches in through a window, grabs a woman who bears a slight...
... for ... where ... train ... before ... gone ... for ... naturally ... Point well made and taken. Kong is not "cuddly", but I still feel sympathy for...
I think (ok I'm guessing) what Sue meant in her question was that do some men think it is cool to be really in physical control of a woman the way that King...
Wow, I guess I'd never seen Kong as such an extention of a male's desire to "control" a female, but now that you mention it, I can see a new aspect to the...
You hit on the key dichotomy in the film. Kong is a beast, a killer, a monster in every real sense of the word. But he's also possessed of something that...
... see ... one ... the "prized ... have ... days ... A very good point Agent! I was trying to be a little mischievious in what I said to open up the debate a...
I'm really taken with the current thread about Kong's portraying a man's desire to control a woman. I think it's in there myself. Just look at the role of Ann...

Hello, Just thought I'd say hi as a new member and contribute to the recent 2 threads! I must admit hadn't seen any of the Kong movies until the release of ...
Hiya, I only got a real taste of King Kong from the hype of the most recent offering! Though due to that I watched the original, which was on the TV...

Welcome to our little corner of monster-based cyberspace! We are a very spurt-ish group here for the most part. No activity for lengths of time, then a flurry...
I concur that Peter Jackson's remake has a lot of wonderful imagery, but ultimately fails as storytelling because of a near complete collapse of pacing. And...
I've just recently had the opportunity to see Gojira in the original form. I have to say that with a second viewing just this past weekend, Gojira has moved to...
