Well, now that Brokeback Mountain has gotten 7 Golden Globe nominations including best drama, best actor for Heath Ledger and best supporting actress for Michelle Williams (I wonder if those two had any idea how much this movie would change their lives when they signed up for it!) in addition to a couple of other awards, I guess they don’t have to worry about promotion or being “only” a sleeper hit anymore. ;-)
But back to the real topic: I do plan on watching King Kong, but I have no idea when! If I don’t get the chance to watch it in English, I might wait until the DVD’s out...
Oh, and yeah, I didn’t even recognize Peter Jackson when I saw the first picture of him after he had lost that much weight! I looked at the caption and my first reaction was something along the lines of “Wait, that must be a mistake! That can’t be Peter Jackson!”! *LOL* He looks so much younger now for some reason, I think...

I think the old one was too lovely as to go and watch a remake. It may happen like with the War of the Worlds...

I haven’t seen the old one. I am curious about the new one because the trailer looked amazing.

it;s funny how King Kong topic can change into Brokeback Mountain :) but anyway, I am so exited to hear the news about how the movie already domintated the Golden Globe nomination. so, i MUST see it...
back to REAL topic :-)
I first saw Peter Jackson new look in some cover magazine with Naomi Wats. he looked so different!
I red that he lost his weight because he work 21 hours per day during the making of King Kong and eat more Yoghurt and stay away from junk food.

i would i liked to have seen nicole kidman in stead of Naomi Wats, then i may have gone to see it.

Saw it. Loved it. Do NOT take children under the age of 13 or 14 to go see this movie or you’ll be battling nightmares all night.
It’s pretty much a remake of the original 1933 King Kong movie and Kidman would NOT have worked in this movie at all. Watts was the perfect choice. Of course, this last is just my opinion.

anyone plan to see it? it’s already has so many great reviews. looking forward to see it really soon.
(did u guys see the new pic of Peter Jackson? he looked ssssssooooo thin now!)
