King Kong

Saw King Kong. It was a lot like when I read War of the Worlds. I knew the highlights, but not the less-interesting details. There's a lot of 1930s assholishness (useless dames, face-painted tribesmen, 'he was a king in his country. We'll teach him fear!') but some bits were still effecting. There's a bit where Kong grabs a woman out of a building and idly drops her. Sweet and terrible. Unfortunately, old enough that you have to kind of work to see those moments.
