To greenlighting his script for King Kong and calling him a “genius artist.”

Awesome!!!!
God, how I hated Jackson’s King Kong. New York was good (a bit like the Burton ‘Batman’ movies, the city was the best character) but it was just toss beyond that. Bloody bloody bloody … videogame narrative which says that once you’ve done enough to clear a level you’re through and onto the next one.. special effects which, once you allow for inflation, pale besides the Universal picture … that undercurrent of racism without which king kong just wouldn’t be the same… fucking arse.
Loved The Frighteners. Bad rap on that flic. In my collection.
Loved The Frighteners also . .hated King Kong .. didn’t need a remake ..
