I am more mad at Jackson for the POS King Kong with Jack Black...there is 3+ hours I will never get back...

My girlfriend and I went to it with actual "expectations" of a potential good film...it was soooo long and soooo bad, we were laughing when we were walking out, saying we are going to recommend this to people we don't like...

Then, when it came out with an EXTENDED version on DVD...we laughed harder...who do we hate enough to buy this as a gift for??!!??

Thanks
Mark

    ...he can't direct human beings in such a way as to portray real relationships or character development or even feelings. I think he has trouble understanding the actors he works with. It's easier for him to manage the more technical aspects of the film like special effects and sets, and therefore he is always relying on ploys and gimmicks. I think this bothers some people like auph less than it bothers me, but the weak attempts at humor, e.g., with Gimli burping and whining were beyond obnoxious and the hobbits-in-the-bed scene at the end of Return of the King was just silly.

        How do you figure no real relationship was developed or portrayed? The film very carefully and convincingly built the relationship between Coop and Murph, including his call to duty and her resentment that he would leave. This kind of thing commonly plays out between father and daughters. Slowly, it went full circle when Coop came to the realization that he ought not have left and could only witness his daughter from behind a library of books, a hugely symbolic visual not just for the relationship between Coop and Murph but for the divide from generation to generation as humanity trudges onward. Frankly you have to be a brainless, gutless, emotionless corps to watch this film and not get something profound out of it.
