as an afterthought: we need a movie with tilda swindon AND adrian brody

[foxtongue]

King Kong didn't have enough Adrien Brody, dinosaur punching or kicking ass for the lord to excuse the length, let alone the blatant racism.

It started out with a Al "blackface" Jolson singing I'm On Top Of The World, then moved onto an island, populated only by the darkest natives that special effects money could possibly buy, where all the ethnic characters conveniently died in less then ten minutes. I was amazed. Also, could she possibly scream a little more? I don't think there was quite enough. Please, take yourself more seriously, because audiences don't like 100 million dollars movies about giant apes that aren't burdened with poignant scenes of ice-skating with toy women.

I still like what Uncle Warren said about this movie:

For $200 Million, you can make a real giant ape!

Hi

Also, that ape was unrealisticaly large. Hey, why didn`t they use the world trade center in this remake? I thought that added a really modrn feel to the last remake. Oh, and why did they remake this again? Oh, and what are you doing in a hollywood movie screening expecting naught but the mainstream anyway?

Wasn't that her job?

tilda swinton is my hero.

I would reccomend using a trained gorilla and a stuffed gorilla puppet together with miniatures and a little CG to modify expression and so on but... ... hire me? I make your movie better.

One more reason

I went and saw it. It wasn't that bad.

much worse re: the racism in the film was kong himself: an enormous, black subhuman with violent tendencies, an obsession with blondes, but deepdown! a heart of gold (awwww). I mean, it isn't birth of a nation, but holycrap the condescension!

I found this entry via a google search for ed from cowboy bebop.
