Really good review, Pooly. Really good. Entertaining and informative and I liked the large coke emergency particularly. I just have one small and almost insignificant quibble. Eventually, as anyone who saw the original 73 years ago will tell you (and the only person on staff who could do that is Sue)...*sputter* You're going down, kid. Just you wait.  |

I think I actually missed that when posting it... serves me right for eating breakfast, doing MRFH and addressing packages at the same time.
Sue, I think Pooly's trying to say that you're old. That's not very nice, is it.
"You've finally made a monkey out of meeeeeee!"

I seem to remember someone signing away her rights to age-related dignity upon joining the group...
PS: Justin, I noticed that the captions on the first two pictures are reversed. I don't know if it's your mistake or mine, so let's assume it's mine. Can you fix 'em please?

Good review, Mister Poolperson! I remember how long the movie seemed to me, and we actually left right as everyone was leaving Skull Island (because my sister got motion sick from sitting in the second row and we had to leave the theater). Frankly I don't see how anything at the end could have been better than the whole extended "monster fight" scenes with the tyrannosaurs and so on. (Anybody else think the giant lizardlike critters were a homage to the dressed-up pet reptiles doubling for monsters in the original?) This is particularly true given that there's not much reason to give a fig for any human character besides Ann.
It really should have been cut further.

I seem to remember someone signing away her rights to age-related dignity upon joining the group... Funny. I don't seem to remember that at all. Of course, I don't seem to remember having any dignity either. In fact, I don't seem to remember... Who are you people and what is this television set doing on my desk? |
