King sized stinker

Monday morning J. heard a radio program about King Kong and became obsessed with seeing the movie, the way a 2 1/2 year old will. We walked to the video store to rent it, me playing the role of King Kong the whole way. Unfortunately, they only had the 1977 remake. I remembered seeing it at the drive-in when I was 8, and thought that at least the King Kong scenes were entertaining, so we rented it. Big mistake. This movie stinks, and the special effects are lousy. I lost count of the scenes with an obviously fake giant gorilla hand picking up Jessica Lange.
