Our family went to see King Kong today.
What can I say... most... akward film... PFFT OK it was pretty hilarious.
VVarning: I talk about a lot of stuff in here. If you don't want King Kong
ruined for you, dont read it!
Jack Black played the villian- I just couldn't get over the fact that it was Jack Black. The man's funny-looking, not matter what role he's playing. This sent me into silent histerics of disbelief, because I thought he was strictly a comedian. It also made me believe that the sea captain was none other than Sting.
And Adrian Brody appeared, gorgeous as ever for having such a rebellious snoz, and proceeded to be cute sitting in a smelly cage and using a typewriter to procure the movie script. It made me think of Lemony Snicket. And how awesome of a Remus Lupin he would have been, aside from the fact that he's not British. Then there was this weird scene where they re-secure his romance with Naomi Watts by having them stumble over each other while he's inexplicably shirtless. He was really muscular and I admit, this made me lose interest. He should be skinnyyyy. Well. Pssh. Matters it does not. We continue...
The crewpeople were really funny, mostly. There was this awesome stereotypical asian guy with a funny little asian suit who was constantly cheerful. There was a boy the black policeman found in a cage in the hold of the ship, and they developed a father-son relationship. The boy spent the voyage reading Heart of Darkness and doing nifty jigs with Naomi Watts, and being the only really blatantly philosophical character. Go him.
Oh, the cook. The cook was brilliant. He was this grizzled guy with a lazy eye and an accent I just can't pin down, and he went down battling what Miko tells me were
Mongolian Death Worms.
If the worms are mongolian, how did they get on this strange fog-blanketed island inhabited by what appeared to be Cuban natives with advanced architectual skills? Nobody knows. And nobody knows how the dinosaurs got there, either.
Yeah. At one point Jack Black takes his camera and walks in on a herd of "longnecks". Then some raptors come and chew their legs off and cause a fatty longneck stampede and kills what must've been the entire crew.
But wait! Somehow only four of the expedition's crew died. Everyone was a-okay. This happened about six times, like, you think everyone would've died when the BUGS attacked- but no. How about when the natives of the island came out and went Emily Rose all over? Not then, either! One guy got his brains beaten out. ): So, people kept dying and dying and dying the whole film.
Then they brought Kong back to New York of course, and he went out and stomped all over and killed more people, and Watts went and pretended to be Jane Goodall for about a minute before they shot him down. Again with the sad emoticon. ):
Hey, there were some cool parts, like when Kong roundhouse kicks a T-Rex. There were some parts that were so oddly done they made me laugh- expect mucho zoom-ins and slow-moes, and a scene involving a virtual wave of longnecks. (Said scene would be pretty funny with a soundtrack by The Beatles.) But it was too violent for me, too gross, too conflicted, too weird, and what I really wanted to do then was sing, sing, sing. I sung in the bathroom and if helped get some post-haircut anxiety out. Until people came in. Then I just sang a bit quieter for fear of disrupting their movie-going experience.
And yes... the ultimate effect the movie had on me was it inspired me to write all this. I kept finding myself thinking of things to write in my livejournal. *rolls her eyes* I know. But it was entertaining!
Yes, I got a haircut. Yes, my neck is exposed just in time for Winter! Illogical, but I like short hair better than medium. I was distraught for a while, and I looked the part. So in an attempt to make me feel better...
dad: Kim, want some snacks?
me: *disturbed stare* what? SEX?
dad: what? No, SNACKS!!!
me: ...haha oh my god.
Und later, me: That was really loud. Hahaha
AND WOAH, HEY
I saw the preview for daVinci Code!
It looks AWESOME. I hadn't known they were making a movie, or, not quite so soon, anyway. I saw a shot with the pyramid at the Louve, and I was just gaping. I knew what it was, so did Matt, and we just kind of looked at each other and started bouncing in our seats. X) Then the next snippet was of Silas performing self mutilation with his little flail thing. Okay... Tom Hanks is playing Langdon, weird, but okay. (It's going to be another Jack Black situation. 'No! Tom Hanks! Don't go in there! Silas is in there! AUGHH') And hahaha, Magneto (Ian McKellan) is playing Teabing.
AND even more hey!
Someone's remaking The Producers- better known as That One Movie with Springtime for Hitler in it. Will Farell is playing the musical's author, who is a fairly obvious fanatical Nazi lost in his glory days, who still cares for messenger pidgeons and loved his dictator with all his heart.
And speaking of dictators, that president Bush fella has been getting pretty EFFING STUPID lately. Someone please stop him?
Yes. Very large entry.
Oh, and, apparently,
You Are Bad Girl Sexy
Girl, you are nothing but trouble. And that's hot.
You've got the classic bad girl sexiness mojo going on.
And your badass attitude makes men fear you - and crave you.
Don't give into people who say to tone it down. You're perfect as is.
What Kind of Sexy Are You? If it isn't obvious yet, yes, my brain is currently power-feuled by hormones. Lackaday!
