An Ape, a Geisha and me...

I just rented and watched King Kong (Peter Jackson's) yesterday. Had to stay up until 1.30am+ because the rental is only for one day. *yikes*

Anyhow, the movie: I LIKE!
I can't remember much from the older King Kong movies, but this will probably beat them hands down.
I especially liked how they rendered Kong with scars and imperfections (his teeth for instance).

You will love all the characters you are supposed to love, dislike those who you are supposed to dislike, hate those who you are supposed to be hated and have mixed feelings for those characters that you don't know where to put.

My only complaint, is on the ending. "It was beauty killed the beast." What the hell? If I remember correctly, I liked the ending of the last Kong movie better. Anyhow, it's Peter Jackson and Naomi Watts and I'm biased. :p

In other news, I just recently finished reading Memoirs of a Geisha. So finally I had an idea on how to compare the movie to the book. And all I can say is... meh. The book was much better in my opinion. Anyhow, all this while, I was under the impression that the book was based on true accounts or at least to a certain extent. I was sadly mistaken. It's just a novel in the end. *sigh* Oh well... I still love Sayuri/Chiyo/Ziyi :p Even got a pic of her put in my phone. *dream*

Finally to little old me. Nothing to report!

Okay okay... I'm bored, seriously lacking in motivation and extremely tired. That about sums it up. So... bugger off now. :p
