Whilst working like a dog this afternoon….

I managed to watch King Kong 1933 for the first time.

This version has all the edits and censor cut put back in. If you get a chance to watch or spot it on the schedules again it’s a great film 🙂

Not seen it since I was about 5 or 6.

Defo worth a watch 🙂

Going to make an archery target based on the poster 🙂

It’s remarkable to think this is now 86 years old. One can only imagine the experience of seeing this at the cinema back in 1933.
I watched it too this afternoon on BBC2. Would children watch this sort of thing now and in black and white which we seldom see on tv now.

Fantastic movie, it actually is a “classic”!

Was it followed by Johnny Weissmuller? That would be my classic school hols afternoon viewing

Ahhh ooooo….
And something like um Gowa springs to mind.

Watched this yesterday, reminded me of the chewits ads.

Fantastic movie, it actually is a “classic”!

Yes, I never understood Peter Jackson’s desire to remake it (and especially, to cast Jack Black in it). I saw the remake at the cinema because I was deluded into believing Jackson was a genius and would make something awesome, but then spent the whole time wondering what the point of remaking it was.
