... you haven't taken the time to watch yourself, rather than 1st hand reviews! Of course this isn't always true, but unfortunately it turns out to be the case far too often from my humble perspective. In any event, I'm much more interested in what YOU have to say about this film than debate contrasting viewpoints with a newspaper column written by someone whose opinions you apparently worship. So Clark, what did YOU think of Peter Jackson's King Kong, without looking at the teleprompter or trying to extract nuance from Mr. Shepard's pompous newspaper column? ;^)AuPh
