The Big Picture: Schlocktober 2012: King Kong Lives

[octafish]

At first I thought that the Army guy was Gerald McRaney, and that was awesome, but it turns out it was John Ashton...and that is even better.

I know "monkey" is a funny word to say, but seriously, is is so hard to say:

"It's a love story with giant apes"?

 

[008Zulu_v1legacy]

The greatest love story ever told ... featuring giant gorillas. Also starring Linda Hamilton.

I like that how for the operation they were in full medical gear, but no goggles. We saw blood splatter, but no one was concerned for getting it in their eyes?

Maybe the budget didn't allow for goggles.

I would love to see MovieBob review the Leprechaun movies if he ever got the chance. They are terribly made but so much fun to watch.

No Mechani-Kong D:

It's wierd that moviebob's mention of "Son of Kong" reminded me there was actually a "Son of Kong" movie. Notable for Carl Denham(played by the same actor as in the first one), both having had his pants sued off for almost destroying new york with his giant ape show and the fact he actually feels pretty bad for what happened to Kong. Yeah, it was horrible but not a total waste.

Is it bad that I really want to watch this now?

 

[Palindromemordnilap_v1legacy]

Bob, you should have gone the whole hog and called it Kongtober, reviewed nothing but remakes, sequels or spin-offs to King Kong

 

[Endocrom]

Heh, Taggart got squished.

Always avoided. I think it was Ebert that said this was so boring kids were playing with the theater swinging doors rather than watching this boor. Bob does make it look like silly fun though. Can't wait to next week!

Calling it next week is either white buffalo or Orca

My bet: Orca. It is another "fish" story. And had Bo Derek!
