My copy of the new King Kong arrived last week from Amazon.com
Got to say it's one of the most pathetic transfers I've ever seen.
For a start, it's a pan-and-scan transfer instead of Jackson's intended
widescreen.
And all the colour's bleached-out. On my screen it looks just like
shades of white, grey and black.
And I read that Jackson had let his movie run over three hours. This
transfer must have been censored and cut to ribbons -- it runs for just
under 90 minutes! And as for the audio -- either my Surround system's
packed it in or I've gone deaf!
Got to say though that Naomi Watts has never looked lovelier ......
