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!

Was it really TWO hundred million?

Oi. Isn't that more than we could put people on the moon for?

[daki.livejournal.com]

Yep, $200M.

I think any country outside of the US could put someone on the moon for $200M. Here? We spend $30M to build a pen that works in zero-G instead of using a pencil.

That's it. I gotta find out how to be a pen designer.

Bomb a small country that makes pens. Set up shop and accept government contracts to "rebuild". Then turn those contracts into the official NASA Pen Designer contract. Make millions.

Germany, for example.
