Anyone going to the parks next week?

I'll be there definitely on Friday to get my new plastic pass. And maybe Tuesday or Wednesday too, especially if there's any movement on the Kong front... But I go almost every week.

I have another trip set for next month the weekend of the 24th. I guess I'm pretty much guaranteed to ride it then considering the media preview.

June 7th is our 30th anniversary. If Kong has any softs on that day, we are booking a night or two at the Portofino.

Needless to say Jackson could use a more judicious editor. Three hours for the story of King Kong is way too much, I don't care how much character development you shove in that first hour. (or excruciatingly long action sequences in the second)

I agree with part of this. I think the first hour is kind of wonderful and elegant. But the second act has one-too-many sequences. They could've easily lost the stampede (which has such poorly rendered effects that it really sucks you out of the experience) and made that second act a race to track Kong. It'd be tighter, faster, and more suspenseful.

Adrien Brody's character was a big drag, IMO. And I didn't like Naomi Watts in the role, bad casting choice.

me, wed-sat

 

[SkiBum]

I'll be there on June 8th. Would like a chance at a soft but am not banking on it. It will give me another reason to go in the fall.

I believe the footage will be sporadic over the showing of the film, so it can probably be in between multiple commercials.

Oh ok I'm not home should have recorded it smh

I'm sure it'll be talked about..and would we classify whatever they show on the showing of King Kong spoilers? I would think that it'd be unnecessary; considering that it will be displayed nationally; people will know.

 

[Mike S]

Haven't seen much that we haven't seen yet and I'm going out soon. If anything good comes up I'm sure they'll put it on the Internet.

 

[AlexanderMBush]

A taste..
