thought of the day: do not sit near dora during a movie, or she will keep pinching u during the exciting, scary parts.
i shant go into details about how the whole movie thing was planned cuz i just saw it in her blog. so anyway, i actually arrived earlier than her at church today, what a surprise!
tsk. she spent some time trying to figure out how and why she had shrunk, because i was so much taller than her, thanks to the hidden heels in my shoes. if i didnt tell her about the heels, i dont think she would have figured it out yet!
anyway we watched king kong and the movie was just plain STRANGE. the introduction was soooooo long, kong was only in, what, half of the movie? and the fact that big mosquitoes and giant spiders and man-eating bats and even DINOSAURS were in it, was just plain extra. we're supposed to focus on the monkey here, not on the t-rex, the weirdo black people who seem to evaporate at the sound of a gunshot, or the terrors of sailing a ship.
plus there were many unrealistic parts. first of all, WHY would a giant monkey b amused at the sight of someone falling down over and over again? amused to the point of obsession, what's more.
and if you were ann darrow, would u b so stupid as to aggravate the monkey just when he's starting to consider not eating you? being so RUDE and all. sheesh.
HOW did what's-his-name with the big nose manage to find ann in the huge jungle? when he was with a group of people, armed, they did everything but find her, and when he set off by himself stupidly with no guns or ammunition he somehow found her immediately. and after finding her he somehow managed to find his way back whilst being chased by kong.
and the jimmy person. his friend what's-his-name-too had already PLAINLY stated that jimmy had never before in his life fired a gun, yet somehow he managed to shoot all those creepy-crawlies climbing on big nose without injuring nose in the slightest bit.
and WHY on EARTH didnt the ice on which kong was sliding on break?! he smashes things with his weight left and right but even when he FALLS on that particular pond of ice it doesnt so much as crack. ok say the ice is so strong it can support thousands of kilograms, why did it immediately break when a bullet was fired at it? totally unreal.
i could rattle on for ages. there's that stuff with that 100-level building; why a ladder that led to the highest pointy part of the tower existed (who in their right mind would want to climb all the way there?) how big nose got to ann even though the previous ladder had already fallen off, why he would want to go there in the first place since there was no way he could have done anything about kong or the planes, so on and so forth.
overall, the movie was just a step up from a regular american big-bang movie.
