Of the current films,
it occurs to me King Kong
is MOST deceptive.
The original
was fun and entertaining.
This new remake is
relentlessly dark,
manipulative and just
depressing all through.
These days, the best bet
is to skip theaters and
watch home DVDs.
Studios are like
guys after girls -- they will say
anything to get
us where they want us.
Once we buy the ticket then
they don't care if we
think they lied to us.
But when is advertising
ever built on "truth?"
Yeah, I saw the Mexican on home video. And I have NO desire to see Kong-it's still another unecessary remake. I have to admit Speilberg's (I usually don't care for his movies) remake of War Of The Worlds was fairly good. It stuck closer to the original story than the 50's version, but had some flaws. Worst part was putting it in modern times, IMO.
