King Kong

Ok, so against my will I was captured and forced to watch the new King Kong movie by Peter Jackson. It actually wasn't bad, considering it's a 3 hour movie about a ginormous gorilla, directed by a man who both loves and has mastered the art of "Filler." It improved on my opinion when I discovered Adrian Brody was in it, who, frankly, is a genius. But the worst part of the movie (for those who haven't seen it I will try not to give too much away) was that there was like a 40 minute BUG scene. These were not just ordinary insects either, but freakishly large creatures shaped like centipedes and grasshoppers (by far the vilest of all insects) and these earthworm things that sucked people up whole. YEAGH!! I've never heard so much groaning and complaining from a theater audience before.

All I could think of during that bug scene was "Must not squirm. Must be manly". It didn't work.

And it wasn't 40 minutes long.

HAHA. yeah I can. It's funny too, that Jason and Josh both had to hide their fear by picking on Allison. Now THAT's manly
