Doc,   You're right in many ways -- and I'll think you'll see that Jackson realized he could not -- and should not -- try to "duplicate" the original, but rather that he should give it his own interpretation (while still holding true to the plot and character basics, as if the original were a book that he was making a movie out of). How successful he was in this is something everyone will have to decide for themselves. But listen, go into it with an open mind about Namoi Watts. Give the kid a break... I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.    I'll look forward to hearing what you thought of it.   -- JR     ----- Original Message ----- From: Dr Vollin Md To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Sent: Tuesday, December 20, 2005 9:31 Subject: [MOPO] KONG Being a sci-fi & horror fan, I am going to see King Kong on Monday. BUT i know from the previews, it will not come close to the original. I admire Jackson's enthusiasm & life long obsession with the movie, but the original will never be duplicated and WATTS her name is no Fay Wray. Watch for the upcoming computer generated remake of the WIZARD OF OZ, starring Robert Deniro, Christopher Walken, Dustin Hoffman, Al Pacino, Queen Latifa and Jessica Simpson as Dorothy   Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
