I'm sure most people have heard the news by now, but still: YAAAAY! At last, I can be proud of my state again! I know there's still a lot left to go and marriages aren't technically legal again yet, but a step in the right direction is still a step!

Just had to glee about that! And for today's movie...


King Kong (1933 version)
The version I could find was colorized, so I think it might've been a little better in black and white (you really have to think differently when you lay out for black and white), but it was still good. Also, for some reason someone injected the Wilhelm scream a ton of times throughout the movie, even though the Wilhelm scream wasn't around until the 50s. 8|

Otherwise! This was definitely a good movie to watch from a VFX perspective, and a movie that anyone going into VFX or related stuff should see. It's really interesting how they were able to get so many complex, believable shots with the effects they had back then, and the climatic scene on the top of the Empire State Building had a surprising amount of emotion. The T-Rex fight was also pretty awesome.

Really, the best characters were Kong and Anne...Driscoll was a jerk who pretty much went around making sexist remarks, and then somehow this led to a romance. And everyone else was give or take. There was some consistent sexism/racism, but THE THIRTIES and all, so that's not surprising. The non-human characters were much more interesting than the humans anyway, what with how much time and care went into them.
