    Snickeration? Define snickeration.

    I don't want to get up. I don't want to dry off. And I sure don't want to dry out.

    Glad I could make ya laugh a bit. Made me smile too. Beats the heck out of growing cotton trees.

    Maybe this is information overload, but I thought you KK fans would wanna know. I know this 35 year old kid did!
    Dang Def,

    You got me all hyped to see this now. Three hours long huh, cool. Do I dare go on opening night? The last movie I saw on opening night was Jurassic Park.

    Yeah, I may just have to be the ultimate geek and go on the first night for this one. I generally do the SUPERGEEK thing and check out the midnight showings of highly anticipated flicks I wanna see. That way, a couple hours later I can review it on my morning show. I'll sound like a warmed over turd, but at least I'll have seen it first. And the listeners get to hear a review filled with "cools!" and "awesomes!", as opposed to "brilliantly and intellectually over your head", or "100 of the top ten critics agree this is a cinematic triumph!" You know, the guys who get paid to dig through the thesaurus to come up with something elegant to say. I'm just a popcorn-movie lover, and I just wanna have a great time at the theater.

    Man I feel ya. Nothing like a good old fashion monster fight. My dad got me hooked on the ol skool stuff. I'd love to see a remake of any of the Sinbads or Jason and the Argonauts. How bout Clash of the Titans. I live for that kinda stuff. From the previews I saw, Kong is definately gonna be right up my alley.

    And peter jackson, being such a huge fan of the original, heard of the notorious Spider-pit fight sequence that got cut out of the original 30's kong because it didnt involve any of the 'lead' characters. so what did he do, he tossed his leads (brody and black) into the pit to make sure it was essential to the story!

    i am really psyched to see this one. trying to score an advance screening of it, but that's one event gonna be tough to come by! am pretty sure i'll be there tues midnight or wed for sure! read one article where the third head of the creative tandem (not jackson or walsh, but their third producer/writer teammate) was gushing about the film (while jackson and walsh were very, very humbly conservative), she said "kong is gonna kick lotr's a$$!"

    Starting to see some reviews from the U.K. press. All positive with 4-5 star ratings from critics. Of course, critics can be (and usually are - The Island, for instance) wrong. It's usually different with big commercial blockbuster wannabes. Good sign if such a highly anticipated mainstream movie gets such great initial acclaim.

    No midnight showings for Kong in my area. A local theater manager said it was due to "lack of demand". That's not a good sign for opening weekend. I am sure it'll be huge, but it'll have to get great word of mouth.

    Everyone I've talked to about it, plans on seeing it. If you don't get excited over a big monkey fightin dinosaurs than there's somethin wrong with ya.

    Maybe Fried Green Tomatos II is opening on the same weekend. How can anything compete with that?

    I'm getting pretty eager to see it myself. This morning in the Washington Post I read this great review. Normally when Stephen Hunter hates a flick he gets funny in his review. This is one of the rare cases when he loved it and his review was still hysterical. I'm gonna see this Friday...
