If Peter Jackson did a season of Keifer Sutherlands '24' it would be 48 hours long.

I think the movie is great, but in 2 scenes I just wanted to jump into the scene and beat the shit out of the actors.
The frist time when Kong an Ann were at his "home", when Kong just seems to be sad, maybe thinking of his vulnerability/mortality, the rest of his family lying there, and she's trying to cheer him up - just like visiting a funeral and when they lower the casket into the ground, you tell the family some jokes ("You heard they had to burrow that bith in a triangular casket - every time they put her down, she spread her legs!!! - Got that? Her Legs!") - Wonderful.
The second scene was right at the ending, when Kong just fell down and the Brody-Charakter just seems not to have any emotions at all for Kong, and just feared that something might happen to her ... definitely wrong here, in my opinion.

Please don't be upset by my English - I'm foreign ...

Ｗelcome to the board, Towka. I'm foreign,too. Your English is better than mine. So, relax and enjoy the visit.

From dvdfile.com:

"And if you were one of the few who felt Peter Jackson’s King Kong just wasn’t long enough, there’s a rumor from Universal that the studio is readying an extended version of the film for release this fall (following in the lucrative footsteps of New Line’s theatrical/extended releases of The Lord of the Rings). Stay tuned for news as it comes in."

Of all the great scenes one sticks in my mind the most - The slow-pan view from a distance of Kong standing on top of the E.S. Building, rising sun at his back, bellowing his challenge to the planes. Something about that shot really grabbed me.

BTW, is it just me or did the native's witch/leader remind you of the Northmen's oracle in The 13th Warrior?? Same actress, maybe?

You mean the cave mother from 13th Warrior??? I didn't notice.

No, I was talking about the old woman in the tent who read the bones and called for 13 warriors to face the... well, the name must not be said.

I watched "King Kong" again, this time on DVD. I liked it better the second time around and on the smaller screen. The relationship between Kong and Ann Darrow made more sense though I'm not sure why, except that seeing them up close (I watched it on a lap top, literally on my lap) helped somehow.
