King Kong and X-men

Ok, so I went and I saw King Kong.... And it really only truly left me with two thoughts, one of doubt and one of assurance; I am now more then ever sure that I am meant to write, and so what dose this mean I'm defective? - let me just start at the beginning....

Ok so if you live in Houston and or the greater Houston area then you know that December 14th wasn't only the day we were introduced in full to Peter Jackson's' King Kong, but also the day we caught up on our rainfall, and did so with avengence. And for some reason Nik and I never entertained the thought of an umbrella... So it's easy to understand how we ended up in a AMC (which I can't stand the amc theaters, but apparently no one else likes cinemark/tinsletown) with our entire bodies soaked in rain water, including our jackets, shivering and barefoot, apparently boots with zippers are not water proof and my converse all stars - well it speaks for it's self. We sit through about a half hour worth of bad music and terrible movie facts on a very short loop. I was never so happy to see a Diet Coke commercial on a big white screen sounding the arrival of the previews... Now I would like to sit here and give you along list of all the movies to come, but in all realities they don't matter because one Preview out shined and erased all the others from memory when the MARVEL logo glowed red on the screen, that's right boys and girl, it's the X-Men 3 trailer! Kelsey Grammer looks awesome, Ben Foster is sure to make his biggest break yet and what a wing span, only one shot of Anna as Rogue, thank God, JEAN is well no longer Jean ^^ , Wolverine as hot as ever, rock on Jackman... and the list of thrills that the new movie will promise goes on and on, and after recalling the Super Man preview I saw a few weeks ago, all I can say is Bryan Singer, you will not be missed! But Back to the point, the reason this began? KONG!
For a change in trend - this movie and more importantly it's cast has actually captured the characters.. Imagine a movie that's not about the actor's but the roles they play! Judging by Nik's reaction to the 'Actor' character in the movie, both of our reactions to the 'Director/producer' and my own personal take on the 'Author' played by of course Brody... this movie and the people and ape that make up it's story are spot on!!!
I wont sit here and waste space on the effects, because it's Peter Jackson, you can't get much better then that, and oh yeah Lucus fans, I said it, I went there : P
Honestly it's the perfect blend, though the role seemed a bit to serious for Jack Black he pulled it off, and even though there is some heavy psychology going on inbetween the lines for all you english majors ( and no, I'm not referring to the super obvious stuff) It really is a majestic movie that offers a perfect harmony from the Director to the Script writers to the Special Effects to even the Actors, do I know what life was like for everyone who worked on the film off camera? No, but on camera it came out as nothing short of harmony, something we haven't seen in such a very very long time.
I sat freezing cold in a movie theater, in seats I really could careless for, soaking wet, with just one to many sips of Dr. Pepper in me and did so for THREE HOURS AND SEVEN MINUTES! And would happily do so again, minus the soaking wet of course, but if push came to shuve.. lol
The only part about the movie that really disturbed me is the big ending, I wont say it, but we should all know it never the less... all the women were sniffling and clearing away tears from their eyes.. and I thought it was good, but didn't bring me to tears - maybe it was because I was to busy rooting for Brody. Who knows and Fingers Crossed.

Again, I left this movie wondering, why Didn't I cry.. and knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt that I am supposed to be a writer, will it be at first.. chances are no, but I'll take it at last.
