Patrick,

To Jackson's credit, he and his wife (nice to have such funds) put up the remaining amount of money, which also tells you that he's not willing to release a film that he feels is not finished.

I voiced my displeasure at the news that he was remaking this film last year (almost typed "here on Outside...heheee), but from what I've read and seen so far (the trailers are very good)...he might have done a decent job on this film.

'Kong' looks very scary, and I like the fact that they spent time on the fur (making fur move is very difficult when it's CG). It's the little things that make/break a film sometimes.

The 'Kong' from the piece of shit film with Lange/Bridges looked like a guy in a suit. It was bloody awful. The original classic 'Kong' was far more realistic looking.

Did you notice the length of the film? 3 hours. That's almost double the length of the original.

Hmmm...
