When I was a young man, I loved King Kong (The movie), does anyone remember when they would play the black & white movie every year on Thanksgiving day? (it was possibly before the NFL turned Thanksgiving day into a broadcast staple of the day)  I watched it every year (every year).  Over all those years, I would also watch it when I would run across it, anytime, anyplace.  I have also watched every re-make since the original (including Mighty Joe Young, the knockoff), but none have ever been as special to me as the original Kong.

 

Maybe it is the childhood nostalgia, and possibly no remake will ever be able to compare with my youth ... That doesn't stop me from being really excited to see this newly released Kong. I am as excited as a Star Wars nerd ... But, a lot older.

 

Someone please tell me they seen it this weekend, and it was super great.  I didn't go this weekend, mainly because the crowds would ruin it. I would prefer ... me/myself/popcorn/Kong.  I can wait to be blown away, again .... It has been a long time.  It will suck if it sucks.
