So I've been watching movies the past week or so, trying to catch up on anything I've missed in the last ten years or so. I've seen quite a few I really liked and that has been encouraging.

I'm watching King Kong and the first 5 minutes make me want to vomit. This movie is fucking terrible. Fuck you Peter Jackson. 3 hours and 3 minutes left of this garbage..

12 minutes in and I'm genuinely angered by how bad this film is. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

Is this supposed to be like the Fifth Element where I think it's serious until someone tells me after I've seen it four times that it's not meant to be serious? Are they kidding me with this shit?

It's a terrible movie. Monster Isle is the only part of that movie that has good scenes.

I don't understand why it got positive reviews. The dialogue is absolutely killing me and my soul. I think I need to go pray.

Why is Peter Jackson in love with slow motion? Did he lose his ability to make movies after Lord of the Rings?

Have you seen his movies before LOTR?

I'm convinced those movies were all just a fluke.

Or maybe he just doesn't have the ability to make a good movie that isn't based on a Tolkien book.

If you hated it so much, why did you keep watching it? It's not like you were in a crowded theater where it would have been awkward to leave, nor did seeing the movie cost you money seeing as how I assume you downloaded it. You could have just turned it off and watched another movie.

Because I'm me and that's what I do. I'm sure you already knew that.

I haven't finished it yet, I watched 12 minutes then went to bed so now I started it up again.

Why is everything on the island randomly larger than it should be except the dinosaurs which are regular size? And is the moral of this story that giant apes really like vaudeville?

Speaking of shitty movies, I was reading Roger Ebert's reviews and he gave Anaconda 3 1/2 stars out of 4. Are you kidding me? That movie is probably worse than King Kong.
