Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with an interview I did last week with Michael Pellerin, DVD producer and the man behind such DVD releases as the LORD OF THE RINGS TRILOGY, TOY STORY, the '33 KING KONG release from last year and all the KONG discs, including the big 3 Disc Extended Edition that comes out today.
I've interviewed Pellerin before (you can read that here!!!), for the release of the '33 KONG and Production Diary DVD set last year and on this one I've tried to steer clear of covering the same ground, so we mostly focus on the development of the new disc, but we do talk a bit about what to expect in the big RINGS box set, what they were holding back. He told me that Peter Jackson knew the studio was going to demand many releases of the film and there was nothing he could do about that, so he went out of his way to try to make each release unique, without repeating material.

Hey folks, Harry here... Seems yesterday was pretty much about as perfect a fucking day as one could hope for. Along with the national news about Congress, Darth Rumsfeld fate, Britney Spears' tragic announcement, the coming of a new Spider-Man 3 trailer (though I hear there's zero Venom in it) and just... various happy things like a brilliant Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert double show.... well, I also got in the mail the DVD set to the Star Trek Animated Series... and then... lo, my eyes beheld the 3 DVD set for KING KONG Extended Edition and I swooned. Seriously - could the day get better?

I was very terribly nervous, excited and anxious to see KING KONG when it unleashed upon the screens of Butt-Numb-A-Thon 7. The audience was primed, they all knew it was going to play. I never even really made a pretense of it not playing simply be

Hi, everyone. "Moriarty" here with some Rumblings From The Lab...
By the time you read this, KING KONG should be letting out of midnight screenings around the country, and many of you will finally have had the chance to see it. I've seen it twic

Hi, everyone. "Moriarty" here with some Rumblings From The Lab...
Okay, so it's not the first one ever. Or even in the first hundred at this point. But it's before mine, and it's by Vern, so there's two things it's got going for it. Check this

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. As most of you know (thanks to to Knowles blowing my cover earlier this week) I was in New York for the World Premiere of Peter Jackson's KING KONG.

Well, no more speculating or wondering or hoping or dreaming. KONG has arrived, and people are starting to weigh in left and right on the film. FANGORIA, for example, called it a

Hey folks, Harry here. This is EXACTLY why I love Peter Jackson. Because the movie is over. It's in a can, sitting waiting to be shown, but the show isn't. I get to throw a lot of events with Tim League at the Alamo Drafthouse, and we've done

Hey folks, Harry here in Austin - thinking more and more about New York these days. And not just because about 2000 folks I know will be in Times Square tonight. ARGH. But BNAT is testing me. It's a brutal race to the finish, and I must finish

Hey folks, Harry here... Quint left for New York pre-dawn today, last word I heard was he was stalking Broadway looking for a Blonde to abduct. His usual haunt may be a tub at sea, but he's gone ape over Kong. I've been telling him for years that

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with a look at the two new KING KONG TV spots. Just like LOTR and the prequels before it, I find that the closer we get to the big movie and the more stuff I'm seeing on the film, the more excited I get. I love it when the T

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with some absolutely gorgeous foreign posters for KING KONG. Why is it that 99 times out of a 100 US posters look lame compared to foreign (be they UK quads, Italian, Polish, German and, in this case, Russian)? Oh well, at l

Harry here with an update. KongIsKing has taken the trailer down. I'm sure Universal or PJ's crew asked them to take it down because of the inferior quality. Believe me, the content is stunning, the music, action beats and emotional beats are a

Hey folks, Harry here... I don't think I can even begin to touch upon how much I'm dying to see this film. It's just ungodly intense my thirst to see more and more and more. A few moments ago my Slovakian dwarf friend, Piotro Pinkie, began shout
