It is true. He got lucky with FOTR. TTT and ROTK have some of the most insanely boring battle sequences ever "shot". And The Frighteners is a big, nice, piece of shit.

No director could've saved those movies...but that's because fantasy is boring, insipid bullshit. In my view of course. I would say that for what the source material was he seemed to do a magnificant job bringing it to life, so I'd never knock Jackson for his efforts. I'd just rather hang off a meat hook with my eyelid then watch five minutes of those efforts.

King Kong is so bad-ass that not only has he never been extinct, but he's never even existed. How are you supposed to fuck with that? You can't. You can't fuck with that.

:lol :lol :lol

As far as Peter Jackson--Heavenly Creatures is a better film than all three LOTR movies put together. I think he works better with small budgets.

LOTR had better-than-average visual effects and production design, but that's all I can say for it--otherwise we're left with mediocre acting (even actors who are good in other films are mediocre in LOTR, with the exception of Sean Bean), mediocre image composition, a phoned-in, boring film score, mediocre writing with mostly static characters, and poor pacing in the theatrical cuts that's only slightly redeemed in the extended cuts (at least so far). As far as the battle scenes--Eisenstein's Alexander Nevsky (which LOTR copies during the Helm's Deep battle, as well as Sauron's costume and a few other little things here and there) craps all over every battle scene in LOTR.

I expect more expensive mediocrity with King Kong.

A little OT:

Anyone know why the ORIGINAL b/w version of King Kong hasn't seen a DVD release?

A new theory is emerging that it was actually a virus. They couldn't develop an immunity to it. Viruses are nothing. They're like... microscopic. I mean, those pussy dinosaurs died from something that you can't even SEE, let alone put up a decent fight.

That's not very metal!

I prefer images of fiery death and explosions with a soundtrack by Iron Maiden, OMG CHAOS!

So basically it was AIDS for Dinosaurs? Well then, that's not very rockin'.
