Yeah, Carl Denham was a great character. I liked how [*minor spoilers ahead*]

When everyone was mourning the loss of their friends, Carl is looking sadly at his broken camera. Funny little sad moment there.

I loved how when each one of his friends died, he'd say "he didn't die for NOTHING! we'll donate all proceeds to his wife and kids...yadda yadda" well, maybe didn't LOVE it...but found that it fit nicely into my "damn, he's scum" thought line.

In regards to how they shipped Kong, I remember they had a few overhead shots of the ship, with a BIG EMPTY space. Some people in my theater loudly mused "That spot ain't going to stay empty long..."

What was the Sumatran Rat Monkey ref? I missed it!

(Was it the bats? I noticed they bore a family resemblence...)

That reminds me of this Penny Arcade comic...

I saw this on Saturday and I really enjoyed it (one of the few movies from 2005 that I liked).

Genetic,

The scene where one of the crew is showing Jack Driscoll his quarters, down in the containment part of the ship, there is a box labeled:

"Sumarian Rat Monkey"

You really really really really have to pay attention in the scene to see it.

I haven't been to the movie yet (probably going Friday), but we got a package from my daughter in Japan and she sent me this cool little Kong standing on the top of the Empire State building.

Now that's a cool pressie! What's she doing over in Japan? I've always wanted to go to Tokyo and that general area.

I hope the hazard pay is really good. Insuring all those tanks must be a pain in the ass.

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one. And its not like I didn't know what was going to happen to him, but I cried anyway.

Fantastic movie. Peter Jackson is God.

My daughter has been in Japan attending Komazawa University on an exchange program. She went over at the end of March and will be coming home in January.

You'll be happy to know Dean that her best friend there is an Aussie lass named Sarah. She also has a friend named Alistar from Australia. Among her group are several Chinese girls, a couple of French folks, and a Korean guy named Dong Ha (whose name my wife always mispronounces).

Knowing Jessica she is going to miss them badly when she leaves. She has been taking Japanese since high school (she is a Junior in college now), and this was a great opportunity for her and something she will remember forever.

Wow, that is indeed an incredible experience! One of my friends is considering joining a work program and going over to Japan to teach English, which apparently pays fairly well, but I guess we'll wait and see.

My daughter was teaching English to employees of Honda for extra cash. They pay about $30 an hour for English teachers.

In fact there are individuals who will take you to dinner and pay you to have a conversations with them just so they can pick up on conversational English.

Certainly you would need to use the F word quite a bit in these conversations...ya know, so they get to know it.
