Re: King Kong

It was good. The begining was way too long. You could miss 15 minutes of the beging and not miss a damn thing.

Re: King Kong

This original version was released four times between 1933 and 1952, and each release saw the cutting of additional scenes. Though many of the outtakes (including the censored sequence in which Kong peels off Fay Wray's clothes) were restored in 1971, one cut scene has never been found. It is the clip in which Kong shakes four sailors off a log bridge, causing them to fall into a ravine where they are eaten alive by giant spiders. When the movie (with spider sequence intact) was previewed in San Bernardino, California, in late January 1933, members of the audience screamed and either left the theatre or talked about the grisly sequence throughout the remainder of the film. Said the film's producer, Merian C. Cooper, "It stopped the picture cold, so the next day back at the studio, I took it out myself."

[/ QUOTE ]Very funny. But when I was kid you could see a movie for 35 cents. When I was a teen, I could buy gas for 29 cents a gallon not an ounce.
