GIANT MONKEY BUTT FOR PRSEDINET: Kong Skull Island Movie

The rewatch value of this film is insane. No need to fast forward any dead space. There are a couple of lulls in the pacing but they are tiny and before you know it it’s “Oh Wow! Awesome!” all over again.

I don’t think I’d ever need to watch Kong vs Godzilla 2021 ever again. Or without massive FF’ing.

giant spider took down that imperialist hardcore

a good example of how this movie rules is how they set up the plot thread involving the lone soldier roughing it out while he waits for rescue, then instead have him get brutally eaten and literally gets his gory skull spat out with his tags, because that's what how it goes on skull island! you are the skull!!

lol true true

why hasn't vogt-roberts been hired to do another one of these yet??

possibly getting revenge-ported by his vine star girlfriend, then a sex worker tell-all-ing on the two of them, before the movie, then a porn actress me-too-ing him after the movie for forced kissing on the set of his and TJ Miller’s TV show, made universal determined not to let anyone with their own ideas write a movie at all, let alone hire him again

i watched this again - with my kids, this time - and it really deserves the praise. huge cast handled very adroitly. never lets up. lots of useless/upended bravado. when the grizzled vet decides to spectacularly sacrifice himself but just gets... unceremoniously twatted into a cliff. very vietnam. don't be a hero. just get the fuck out.

could watch hiddleston in a gas mask running through green smoke and slashing a katana through pterodactyls all day tbh

my 9-y-o HATED the slj character. HUGE cheers when he bit it. he even felt bad for the skullcrawler though lol

oh yeah Shea whigam gets one of the most iconic movie deaths in a long time xp

i had forgotten that the hollow earth theory makes a prominent straight-faced appearance in this movie

and continues to be a straight-faced major feature of this monsterverse afterwards

Vogt-Roberts is directing a Metal Gear Solid thing then a Gundam (giant robot suit, I think?) movie for Netflix.

can i tell you how ALL IN i am for both of those??
