Um....That's pretty much how the original "Kong" was too.

And it's still one of the greatest movies of all time.

So I guess we didn't need a remake then...
Anyway, forget Kong (I sure have - it wasn't hard). I finally bit the bullet last night and went to see the Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe and it was actually pretty good, and not the LOTR rip off to sell toys and happy meals I thought it was based on the trailer, so I take back all my previous Narnia movie slamming. I'm not saying it was the best movie I've ever seen or anything, but it was fairly faithful to my memories of the book. It was especially cool when they were in Beaver's house and he's telling them that they are the ones the prophecy speaks of and Susan says 'we're not heroes - we're from Finchley', because I live in Finchley and was watching the film in Finchley. For me that was pretty cool.
