So, I was just thinking about my single favorite scene from King Kong.

It's the "Scream for your life, Ann" scene aboard the boat, Denham directing Ann in her camera test. It builds such anticipation for what's to come, and, at the same time, is this marvelous metatextual comment on the fact that what we're seeing is all a fantasy, that this is all a performance; but then we have Jack and the other sailors watching, and we are reminded that, fantasy or not, we spectators are expected to engage with what we are seeing. It is the scene that gives the rest of the movie a blank check on suspension of disbelief.

The blu ray is freaking gorgeous.

I met Fay Wray at a special screening on her 93rd birthday of KK. Awesome.

Awesome! Thanks. And here is the little photo gallery of the heights!

I'm in awe of the characterization of Kong. Here we are in a movie made in 1933 and an animated special effects character carries the whole second half of the film. Once Kong shows up there's no question that he's the star, even moreso than any of the Universal Monsters!
