Behold... QUINT KONG!!! When Our Seaman Goes Ashore In The Big Apple, The Monkey Didn't Play Nice!

Okay, we get it, this site really likes this Kong movie. by Heywood Jablowme	Dec 4th, 2005 03:18:55 PM
Now please find some other news. First?
Lame by jaxnnux	Dec 4th, 2005 03:24:03 PM
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?
As challenging as all "what" was? by Heywood Jablowme	Dec 4th, 2005 03:37:48 PM
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.
I dind't know John Goodman was on this flick... by Edward Brock	Dec 4th, 2005 03:51:37 PM
That being said, I agree with vicious_bastard. Nice little cameo.

It crashes on Firefox. Just right-click save it.
i work at the AMC Empire 25 they're having the premiere at by freak2thec0re	Dec 4th, 2005 03:56:36 PM
anyone need to be sneaked in?
Very cool news. by Thirteen 13	Dec 4th, 2005 04:00:22 PM
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.
Place your bets by IndyCollector	Dec 4th, 2005 04:15:47 PM
King Kong will be Harry's favorite movie of 2005 when he does his year-end list the way The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and The Return of the King were his favorite in those years.

since it is harrys site by slappy jones	Dec 4th, 2005 04:19:45 PM
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.
Quint, get on the PJ diet, stat! by Det. John Kimble	Dec 4th, 2005 04:24:26 PM
What a camera ho.
HA by BCfreeB	Dec 4th, 2005 04:30:56 PM
Great screen shot. Fun fun. But seriously, Harry, quit telling me how insane I'm going over this movie. www.unseenfilms.com
This will be very funny... by movieman742	Dec 4th, 2005 04:35:27 PM
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.
I trust PJ enough to spend the admission on this 3-hour milkfest by white owl	Dec 4th, 2005 04:43:02 PM
only because he delivered on my favorite book series as a child. ONLY.
"Seriously though, this movie is not going to do well." by DocPazuzu	Dec 4th, 2005 04:47:12 PM
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?

no offense mate,enjoy the film,hope the king kong crew get what they want..
Why has this article recieved negative feedback? by Shabbadoo	Dec 4th, 2005 05:40:06 PM
I can understand mocking Harry's ability to put a sentence together from time to time, but goddamn.
Quint is a method actor... He gained 100 lbs for the part... by Alonzo Mosely	Dec 4th, 2005 06:15:48 PM

I'll bet the cameos sure don't sway his opinion of a movie or director one way or another either do they?
Ahhhh fat jokes. by docfalken	Dec 4th, 2005 06:31:59 PM
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.
Well now we know where Mike Myers got his Fat Bastard idea from by Kampbell-Kid	Dec 4th, 2005 06:39:54 PM

HOLY FUCK YES. Feel free to send me an email at JERusso@GMail.com. I've been trying every source I can to get into this movie, so any help I'll fucking take it!

You mean... Quint is Scottish?

Why can't I get this thing to play correctly? I have the latest version of QT, the audio part is fine, but the video shows a stillframe every 8-10 seconds.

I think fat guys are cool and more hot girls should like them. by Orionsangels	Dec 4th, 2005 07:08:16 PM
I don't like fat girls though, because their bodies lose that sexy womanly figure, no offense.
It's only a cameo if you're famous... by wackynephews	Dec 4th, 2005 07:15:43 PM

I really expect an unbiased, objective review of this film. by IAmJack'sUserID	Dec 4th, 2005 07:36:20 PM
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	Dec 4th, 2005 07:49:14 PM
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.
wow by sledgehammer5050	Dec 4th, 2005 07:53:37 PM
um, ok...next.
hey freak2thec0re by Titus05	Dec 4th, 2005 07:56:55 PM
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 phantommenace2@yahoo.com
he really spent 7 years in NZ? by newc0253	Dec 4th, 2005 08:00:30 PM
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.
AppleBalls and Titus05 . . . by freak2thec0re	Dec 4th, 2005 08:00:38 PM
I was just kidding, tickets were all gone a month ago . . . I'll be sure to tell Peter Jackson you guys said hi though
Looks like the Times in the UK must have gotten lots of set visi by FluffyUnbound	Dec 4th, 2005 08:10:18 PM
And their review has the usual bits about Jackson reinventing the action blockbuster, yadda yadda yadda. Damn film critics giving out fake reviews for site visits and premiere tickets! They're everywhere.
We care about you guys. Lose some weight! by jrbarker	Dec 4th, 2005 08:11:30 PM
No joke. Seriously.
"nothing less than an act of cinematic alchemy." Wow, they must by FluffyUnbound	Dec 4th, 2005 08:13:37 PM
"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.
Quint in Land by oducerproducer	Dec 4th, 2005 08:15:49 PM
Where was he?
I believe that Quint played the cheerleader zombie. by FluffyUnbound	Dec 4th, 2005 08:23:53 PM
I can't remember if he took a bullet or not.
Oh you're right, Fluffy. I forgot that Harry and Co. are ins by IAmJack'sUserID	Dec 4th, 2005 08:26:35 PM
What planet are you from?
Ok.... I'm confused..... Which one was Quint? by W3bzpinn3r	Dec 4th, 2005 08:41:12 PM
Was he in the bus, or the fat thing attacking the bus on the outside?
I apologize to Kong... by W3bzpinn3r	Dec 4th, 2005 08:46:42 PM
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...
yeah it looks an NBC movie of the week by slappy jones	Dec 4th, 2005 09:18:22 PM
if they spent 200 million on it...
Isn't Quint, like, 20? by CerebralAssassin	Dec 4th, 2005 09:26:28 PM
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.

Medicore? by MrCere	Dec 4th, 2005 10:51:57 PM
Do you know what medicore means? It means this movie would be average, just like another old movie. It isn't that, already. The question is: Is it great or not?
Better picture of Quint by covenant	Dec 4th, 2005 10:53:04 PM

How come everyone working at AICN is obese?! by acroyear77	Dec 4th, 2005 11:03:11 PM

Really looking forward to Kong. I love these holiday releases from Jackson & Co.

It's not just that they're all obese by Rowley Birkin QC	Dec 4th, 2005 11:26:08 PM
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.
It's fascinating how unfraid some people are to be real assh by aikimoe	Dec 4th, 2005 11:49:15 PM
I do hope that the assholes here aren't over 25. If you're still a real asshole in your mid-twenties, it's more likely you'll be an asshole until you die. Good luck to you.

That X3 info won't be posted here anytime soon... by CerebralAssassin	Dec 5th, 2005 12:41:21 AM
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.
I saw it....and it's kinda not very good. by earl of sandwich	Dec 5th, 2005 12:56:41 AM
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!!!!!

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.

...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.

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.
