I watched King Kong last night and the nicest thing I can say is… I WANT 3 HOURS OF MY LIFE BACK. What a disappointment. The movie did not need to be as long as it was. I don’t mind longer movies as long as it’s interesting but this thing just had no steam behind it. The scenes were 4 times as long as they should have been. The FX were just "Okay"…I know they were going for a cartoon-ish look to it but you have to wait 1 hour and 10 minutes before you even get to see Kong, and even then it wasn’t all that impressive. I’m not sure what could have been done to it to make it better…I’m not sure what I expected but I found myself WANTING it to end.

If you have nothing better to do, it might be worth checking out but just don’t expect too much and you might enjoy it. I’m just happy I didn’t go see this in the theater. The DVD would make a nice coaster for your drink.

Let’s see… American Idol was pretty bad last night too. Talk about CRAP songs. The show’s theme was "songs that were released from 2000 to 2006" and last night’s show just proves that today’s music sucks ass. I tried to watch and listen to them sing but I found myself reaching for the Fast Forward button on the DVR. I couldn’t even begin to pick which person should be going home tonight. They ALL sucked. I suppose if I had to wager anything, I’d take a 50/50 shot at Lisa being a "goner" tonight. We shall see though. I doubt any of them caused people to actually pick up the phone and vote. Blah!

I just got back from having tea across from the Director’s Guild. I’ve never seen so many people all sitting around reading scripts …this town is so fake and sometimes it rubs me the wrong way. I did have a nice meeting though if you ignore the fact that the same street person asked me for "spare change" twice (as if I was going to suddenly change my mind and give some away the 2nd time) and a lady walked up to us asking if we were registered voters for some sort of survey or petition. HELLO, I’M HAVING A CONVERSATION HERE. How rude to walk up to someone at a table and interrupt them over something stupid. At least wait until there’s a break in their conversation. These people are living and breathing SPAM and I need a Junk Mail feature that makes them walk away from me in the future and into the TRASH.

Gee, reading back this post feels more like a rant …Weird too, cause I’m in a pretty good mood. Hmm.

Well…I should stop writing now :)
