Looks like this movie will sweep the Oscars this year. Guess the academy will want to thumb its nose at fly over country, and they wonder why box office receipts are down over all.
King Kong, on the other hand, will probably KICK BUTT and folks may very well go see it two and three times. Guys like Peter Jackson -- a man who loves making movies for the sheer joy of making them, a man who doesn't take himself or his movies too seriously -- are what keep box office receipts viable and the film industry in business. Wankers like Spielberg and the folks behind this turkey, on the other hand, take themselves and their movies WAY too seriously; it permeates their films and there is no joy in them at all.
The Oscars and the Golden Globes owe there existence to the Jacksons of the world, and they insist on rewarding the jackasses behind the likes of a movie about fantasy fag cowboys. That's RICH!
