Behold... QUINT KONG!!! When Our Seaman Goes Ashore In The Big Apple, The Monkey Didn't Play Nice!
SPOILER ALERT !!
Hey folks, Harry here... You probably hate Quint for any number of reasons. His cuddle time with me. Getting to hang and talk JAWS during some personal mano a mano time with Stevo "da Beard" Spielberg. Playing a zombie in Romero's LAND OF THE DEAD. The insane amounts of money he gets paid to like one film and to hate another, all tax free, delivered in envelopes late at night under his pillow by the Studio Fairies. The set visits. The cuddle time with yours truly. And then there's the women that swab his mighty deck. It's truly enough to despise the boy-man for. Through it all, I think most of you have merely looked at the mini-Titan as... well, a pixely character through whom you live vicariously.
Well, in the morning, the scurvy boat jockey will be pulling out his New Jersey haunt - venturing forth into Times Square for the enormous premiere of KING KONG, where the rotten evil Quint will sit down next to Fay Wray's daughters for the film, most sane people have lost their sanity waiting for. Then - Somewhere towards the end of this film - he'll see the scene below and he'll smile this unholy self-satisfied sense of wonder at being in this eighth wonder. That's right. Quint landed a cameo in KING KONG while spending 7 years in New Zealand during the filming of this movie. That's him in the foreground. We do not know if he got whiplash coverage before filming the scene, but errrrr... CONGRATS QUINT! I grabbed this from DATELINE NBC which had a big Kong special that KongIsKing.Net captured in its gargantuan 112meg complete segment. I captured just the cameo and the following shot.

Okay, we get it, this site really likes this Kong movie.
by heywood jablowme
Now please find some other news. First?

Ok...something is fucked up. Mozilla keeps crashing when it trys to load QT and IE won't even play the damn things. And yes, I have the newest, i-tunes riddled version of QT.
-
where are we supposed to be seeing quint, exactly?
-
Enough with the Kong already! Where's the X-Men 3 news? The teaser hits the net tomorrow allegedly.
-
What is this Kong?
-
Over-acted though.
-
That being said, I agree with vicious_bastard. Nice little cameo.

It crashes on Firefox. Just right-click save it.

by freak2thec0re
anyone need to be sneaked in?
-
World premiere is tomorrow and then we get our turn on the 14th. Oh I can't wait. Thankfully Peter Jackson was the director for this and nobody else, so unless Peter seriously screws up (which is very doubtful) this one is going to be a good and memorable one. Can you imagine the disaster King Kong would be if say Spielberg or Lucas were in charge of it. Sheesh. I shudder at the thought.
-
i guess he can do whatever he wants? i don't get people who complain about the quirks of AICN. if you haven;t figured this out by now go elsewhere if you don't like.
it is like saying you hate the way pizza hutt makes pizza yet going there every night for dinner.it doesn't make sense.
i love reading a harry review and spotting the parts that the talkbackers will use against him but he doesn;t change it. he sticks to his guns..why?? because it is his site. -
What a camera ho.
-
Great screen shot. Fun fun. But seriously, Harry, quit telling me how insane I'm going over this movie. www.unseenfilms.com
-
when this movie is not a huge hit. I'm going to laugh my ass off. Seriously though, this movie is not going to do well. I'm waiting for at least a week or two to see if it's worth my money and 3 hours I will never get back. We shall wait and see I supppose.

Seriously, movieman742, you must be mad. And did I understand you correctly that you'll be waiting to see if it's a financial flop or not before deciding to see it? Is that how you normally decide what films you'll see?

I thought it was hilarious that they got Quint to shave his manly scruffy face.
And cuddle time with Harry is a form of payment at AICN. Don't knock it until you've tried it. -

I really expect an unbiased, objective review of this film.
by iamjack'suserid
Sure do, like all of the other recent reviews. I'm sure Aeon Flux and Rent are great movies! Even if Kong sucked (a concept that these guys have no capacity to consider), you wouldn't know it if you read the forthcoming review.

Isn't playing a zombie a cut above standard extra work?
by fluffyunbound
After all, to be a Romero zombie you have to stagger around a little, and that should count as "acting". In addition, in a zombie movie the zombies are kind of one of the points of the exercise. They're one of the reasons most of the people in the audience are there. The extras in the background of a chase scene in "The Island" are NOT one of the reasons anyone in the audience is there. Oh, and Quint would have loved Kong whether he went to the premiere or not. It's a given. Everyone at this site would / will. In that sense they're incorruptible - it's not bribery if you would have given the good review anyway.
-
um, ok...next.
-
I live in NYC close to the AMC Empire 25 theatre...can you try and hook me up with some free tickets to the premiere?..thanks

he can't have been working for AICN all that time. what did he do for food? i hear huhu grubs are nourishing, but still. 7 years?? damn.

I was just kidding, tickets were all gone a month ago . . . I'll be sure to tell Peter Jackson you guys said hi though

"One of the greatest dizzying sprints in cinema history." I think they bought some banner ads to get him to write that one. "This Kong is a breathtaking testament to the power of cutting edge hyper-realism." I assume they had to part with some props and memorabilia for that part.

-
Was he in the bus, or the fat thing attacking the bus on the outside?
-
Considering the great ape is 70+ years old, he's in fantastic shape... Kong must use the same plastic surgeon as Dick Clark, Cher, and David Bowie... Now Quint.... yeah.... no wonder the shark can't swallow him...
-
if they spent 200 million on it...
-
And he's already that fat? He won't see 35 at this rate. So Quint was in the movie, huh? Another reason it's all Kong all the time on this used-to-be-cool-news website.

just say, "good for you, dude." got nothing better to do than be assholes

Old news, but better than that blurred mess. Apparently one DOES need to be a little heavy (I'm being nice) to be on AICN. Still, he and Moriarty are my favorite contributors. -
Really looking forward to Kong. I love these holiday releases from Jackson & Co.

Everyone working on this site seems to be the same variety of beady-eyed, unattractive overweight geek with badly grown facial hair. Judging by the pic at that link covenant posted above anyway. Just add temper and you've got Moriarty. Add another hundred odd pounds and you've got Harry. Take away a lifetime's worth of showers and you've got Devin from CUD. These are the kind of guys that get a following on the internets.

I wonder at what time. I can't wait to start bitching, or *gasp* actually admitt it will be good.
-
It's not related to Kong, nor is it being made by the Hollywood buddies of Harry and co. Nor is it a film Harry and co are producing.
-
Saw it on Thursday and let me tell you the naysayers are going to have a lot of fuel for their fire. For every great moment (i.e dinosaur fights!) there are truly crappy moments. And by crappy moments I mean escaping from the top of a cliff by hanging on to the legs of a giant bat crappy. Newsweek brought up the pond scene in their review, also truly crappy. If there is one scene that will top Vader's "NOOOOO" it's a monkey sliding on his bum, holding on to his girl, LAUGHING. The monkey actually starts laughing while sliding on his bum. There's plenty more groners, but I'll leave those to the haters to discover for themselves. Not to lay a hate down on the movie, on the whole it's kinda fun, but not a memorable type of fun. I just can't for the life of me see anyone comparing this to LOTR, there's just no comparison. LOTR had story, scale, pacing and amazing charaters. Kong has a pretty girl & a monkey....and some killer dinosaur fights!!!!!
-
*sigh*
-
all I can see is Harry's silly intro, where is the actual article?
-
Shut up you moron noob. I have been coming to this site for almost 10 years now, has it really been that long? Yes. Please learn what it's about before spouting such contempt idiocy.

I hope you didn't think I meant you. Your comment was appropriate and polite (though let's remember that Orson Welles lived to be 70! ;)). But there have been several folks here who have been mean just for the sake of being mean.
-
That's a good point.
-
or the many other complications from morbid obesity.
-
...only the best cajun fried chicken for the AICN staff methinks. I'll give the site ten more years before they're all dead from cardiac arrest. And that goes doubly so for Harry and Quint. It's never too late to quit those Twinkies too fellas.

Congrats Quint! Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

RE that x3 info wont be post here any time soon: by CerebralAss
by emeraldboy
I sent Harry an email, and got I repsonse saying and I quote" AICN will always be part of my life".
Well I wonder about that and Harry's call of Hey I am a producer. Harry Please if you are going to be a producer than set up your company. You are doing the reverse of what my cousin did. You are going about this the wrong way. After telling us for years how hollywood was the enemy and writing a book about it. What my cousin did was work on three films for warners bros. Iron Giant, Osmosis Jones and eight crazy nights. The shadow of 9/11 and the tightening of Immigration meant he had to leave the US and so he set his own company and is working towards his first length feature to be released next year. Also, rather than berate hollywood, create your own ideas and make them into films just. Do your website, bitch all you like about movies either you are a critic or not. Set up your own company and produce your own films and use hollywood to distribute your films. My cousin by the way won 5 international awards this year.
