Woohoo! That's a helluva trailer! I've just watched it six times straight.

I think Jack Black is going to be perfect for his role. The one that concerns me a bit is Adrien Brody. He seems a bit of a pretty boy for the part, no? I'm thinking more of a Race Bannon kind of guy as Jack Driscoll. Too bad Race is an animation. The overall style and atmosphere look outstanding, especially Skull Island. The natives appear a bit too Occidental but I like how they're all so primeval and mysterious looking.

To me, if there's anything in the trailer that really worries me about this movie it's that they might go way overboard on the computer generated special effects. I don't want no tuck and roll jujitsu anime King Kong battling a Hong Kong Category III kung fu tyrannosaur! It just doesn't look right for these 100 ton behemoths to be running around like Jet Li on meth. Slow it down man! Watch some old Harryhausen Sinbad movies and give us just a touch of that old school feel when dinosaurs actually made the earth shake with each foot step. Boom! Boom! RAAAAAAARRRRR!!

Got a bit carried away there. Looks like a great flick nonetheless. Here's that Kong Tiki that Jamio did. Got it hanging right next to me here at my computer desk:

I've obviously got this Quicktime trailer somewhere on my hard drive in a temp file as I can play it again and again without waiting for it to load. Anyone know where it's located (Windows XP) so's I can save it??
