Viewing Notes

Was unpacking some Blu-ray and unearthed this one that I have not watched. Love that even this film has an overture in the beginning.

Why would anyone side with the white dudes that invade the island and steal Kong. The first living dinosaur ever seen in the 20th century and these fuckos want to kill it.

All the NYC is excellent. Listened to a bit of the Harryhausen commentary and he’s such delight hearing him talk so respectfully about this movie and also fanboying out.
