Have the trailer on loop at the hero Games booth beside the stack of Pulp Hero books.
Looks pretty damn good on spec, but until I see it and like it I will assume Jackson's going to screw it up. I have my reputation to maintain, after all.![]()

What is it about Tolkien fans from Greensboro? One of my dearest friends lives there and one of the few things that can work her into a livid frothing fury is mentioning the film trilogy.Originally Posted by Steve Long
Anyway, I have faith.
She sounds like a woman of taste and intelligence.

I clicked on this as a second pass through posts. Waste of time. Looked at the small trailer so I wouldn't have to wait...

Good heavens, was that Jack Black? Straight acting?
With typical smooth timing, after I'd spent half an hour downloading the smallest version of the trailer, my girlfriend came home, flicked the telly on and they were showing the whole blasted thing. Much more impressive when it's larger than postage stamp size.
Have to say, I wasn't too bothered about this one (dark memories of going to the pictures to see the De Laurentis version have scarred me) but the trailer has actually sparked my interest. Pulp lives!
... One of the things that went through my mind when I saw this was:
"Mighty Joe Young!"

<The Rose> I also have the PS: Human.
<Lethosos> We all do; it's just some that have a low PS level.

Current HERO project: The World of the Eight Sages, thoughts currently on IDS blog
Had I seen it without knowing it was about a Kong remake, I probably would have geeked out of my skull. It looks like a serious hoot. Since I knew what it was going to be, my doubts about Jack Black resurfaced. I'll give the guy every chance, though.
One of Roger Ebert's bugaboos about things like the Godzilla movies was "size constancy". Once you have established the size of a creature, it should not change unless there is a story reason for it to grow or shrink.
Since we only got about threre shots of Kong, is it just me or did he appear to be three different sizes?
6th Edition is for entertainment purposes only.

I saw no obvious size problems.
Looks cool to me.

And it looks like you get to see a great KK vs. Tyranasour fight this time.
Just like the original!
