For those who have never seen it, it is worth watching. But don't let the poster fool you, darlings! It is not on the artistic level of 1933's "King Kong."
Just as I no longer watch the end of the 1933 classic, stopping when Kong puts Fay Wray down on top of the Empire State Building, there is a similar moment in "Konga" when I stop watching. This is at the end, when he is at Big Ben, clutching Michael Gough in his hand.
This particularly upsetting ending was engineered by Margo Johns, as Gough's jealous bitch assistant, Margaret. She sets in motion what becomes a very upsetting ending for this film. Don't worry; she gets hers, though.
Poor Konga. He was just exploited and victimized, and animal activists should rise up in arms against this film.
So, what are David and I going to watch, instead??????????????
Well--
First, we are going to watch "Run," a 2020 movie where Sarah Paulson plays a psycho mom, as only she can, who is homeschooling her disabled daughter, played by Kiera Allen. But why is she being homeschooled? And is she really disabled? The daughter digs into the secrets of her mother's past, and I am telling you, girls, we cannot wait to see how much is found out. Join us for the fun, at 8PM, darlings. Same time, different routine.
Then----
Love it!!
ReplyDeleteAs for us we are going to dinner, with just one friend.
Like you said about your evening at One Fifth, treasured moments with No Drama.
I’ll be honest, i don’t even care that much about fine dining.
I much prefer Fine Companions!!!

Victoria,
ReplyDeleteYou are so right. The movies were something; look for
them in a future post. I will be out of town this weekend
visiting my sister and her children in PA. It should
be interesting--we have not seen each other since
Christmas 2019.
