It looks horrible, just a GTA clone.

But that's the kicker of the whole "Timeline" theory: there's no such thing as a paradox. Because time doesn't flow linearly, like a river. Each of the parallel universes is independent of the others. So you can go and mess with the past all you want, but the present that you came from will still exist, but so will the one resulting from whatever you did in the past, and so will lots of others that are slightly varied. The trick is to find the right one.

Still with me?

There's also the "parallel universe" theory expressed in Michael Crichton's "Timeline", where "time travel" is really traveling to one of an infinite amount of parallel universes that each consist of a particular point in time.

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

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

There's a song called "Chewbacca" that you can hear on the movie "Clerks". I believe the band that does it is called "Salacious Crumb"

If you check out the new "King Kong" DVD set, in the special features section of Disc 2, Peter Jackson and his team actually tried to recreate the "spider pit" scene, using old stop-motion techniques and grainy black-and-white cinematography. It was quite interesting, actually. They said they weren't trying to make it official or anything, but it was more of a "what-if" situation that some Kong fans cooked up. it's pretty nifty.

Yes, i had something like this happen too. i have a five-year-old cousin who's favorite is ESB. His favorite song is also "Iron Man" by Black Sabbath, so he obviously has good taste.

Another scene that I really hated, was the scene with all the giant bugs at the bottom of that cliff area. There was NO reason to have that scene in the movie, other than "let's see how many giant monsters we can fit in this film!!!" and "let's have some more really cool death scenes!!!" Jackson just wanted that scene to show off his special effects. It did nothing to help the story. The Captain and the actor guy still could have come back and rescued them, simply by dropping a rope or vine down the edge for them to climb up. All important, plot progressing moments in that scene, easily could have been done without the bugs, and again, it would have made the pacing of the film much better. The army of giant bugs was just ridiculous.

This was an homage to the lost "spider pit" sequence from the original 1933 "Kong", which is sort of the Holy Grail of deleted scene to movie enthusiasts. There is evidence that it exists, such as pieces of the original script and old photographs, but the actual sequence has never been found. So PJ, for his remake, decided to put it back in. So, for us "Kong" nuts, that scene was quite a treat.

i mean it didnt look very nice (but what does at that time)

Actually, I watched this movie last night, and I found it hard to believe that it was made only in 1933. As someone who has learned to spot a lot of technical stuff in films, I was surprised at how advanced the effects were on such an early film.

By the way, I just saw PJ's "Kong" about an hour ago, and all I can say is.........WOW.

Yeah, I have a friend like that too. He dislikes B&W movies so badly, I couldn't even get him to watch Clerks. CLERKS, for God's sake!

I hate it when young people these days (i.e. people my age) have no appreciation with classic films. For instance, yesterday I was talking to a friend of mine about "King Kong", and I said that I'd watched the original on TCM the night before. She replied "Oh yeah, I saw some of that too, it sucked."

.............

I just about shit my pants. I seriously wonder about my generation sometimes.

Point 2 I like. Point 1 I don't. If Lucas would have chosen that, he would have followed the old cliche of having the black man die.

Don'tcha just love how Lucas changed stupid crap that didn't need to be changed for the OT, yet he didn't bother with the stuff that actually needed to be fixed, i.e. the Wampa arm?

On the CKY band website, one of the members was joking around and said something along the lines of:

in my opinion, if you kill somebody - you should get killed back. and it should be a really humiliating death too. like drowning a serial killer in a giant bucket of piss (and have it on pay per view too) i think the number of murders per year would drastically decrease if the penalty was drowning in piss on digital cable. dont you?

I about busted a gut from laughing so hard when I read that.
