At least nobody's said 'dongle' yet. Oh, wait. I just did.

I know this sounds obvious, but...you guys have waaaaaaaaaay too much time on your hands.  And useless s*it clogging up your brains.

I didn't write it; I just cut & pasted it

You read it.  And that requires time.  And possible retention.

This from the guy spending countless hours putting together song brackets and then bickering with Brant about said brackets.

Rented this on Amazon. I enjoyed it. great cast of characters and they made Kong the badass he needs to be. Pretty decent CGI -- light plot but entertaining.

I watched this yesterday on the plane coming back from Germany.  Campy, light plot, and not a bad way to spend two hours on a long flight.  The creatures on the island were imaginative and pretty neat.

I actually enjoyed this movie. What a shocker!

My son badgered me into buying this. I only caught parts of it, but it seemed like good fun. Certainly better than Godzilla.

My son watched it three times over the weekend, so it has an 8 year boy's seal of approval.

There was also a nice little nod to Sam Jackson's role in Jurassic Park.

He doesn't have a great track record in 'monster' movies. Jurassic Park, Deep Blue Sea, Kong...dead, dead, dead.
