I'm Wasting My Life
Okay I've just spent, I don't know how long, far too long (certainly the whole time I was writing that last post) looking for stuff about Peter Jackson's King Kong movie. Why? I wish I knew. Its not like I'm even particularly excited about it (yet, although I know myself well enough to know that the hype machine will suck me in come December), I've never been a fan of Kong in any form, and I don't really know what PJ see's here that's worth doing. Equally the idea that Peter Jackson is one of the great directors and that his work is automatically interesting because it's his is also fairly ridiculous. Okay I love the Frighteners and the LotR trilogy, but are those indicative of the quality of work we can expect from him, or is his earlier low budget work nearer to the mark? Has he just been lucky with LotR? I guess time will tell (although I wouldn't bet against my writing gloriously positive stuff about this movie at the end of the year). All I know is that spending any measurable amount of time looking for early images of a CG ape from a movie I'm not really all that interested in is strongly indicative of the fact that I'm bored and don't really know what to do with my evening...
