Re: Kong-King-- dubious doings

I am not expecting much from this re-make. In fact, having seen the trailer almost makes me think I've seen it already. Yes, Kong will get the latest computerized animation and look as good as Spielberg's (though it wasn't REALLY Spielberg's) t-rex and raptors. In fact, the trailer shows a t-rex that might have walked right out of Jurassic Park. And I'm sure Jack Black will bring his usual verve to the role of Carl Denim. And whoever is to replace Fay Wray will surely be quite a peach. But what can be added to this film? In the end, it's going to be an exercise in comparisons between the original and the new. It's going to have to work very hard not to be as pointless as the last remake. I'm afraid it's going to amount to a "colorized version" (in the Turneresque sense) of the original and nothing more. But I suspect it's going to be a companion piece to that most pointless remake in film history "Psycho."
