| 34324 | Legendary's Kong | I too watched the film today.<br><br>It was well done. I found myself oddly wishing that Kong would have been "warmed up to" in much the same fashion that Godzilla was in his first Legendary outing. But I think this film was more of an answer to criticisms that Godzilla didn't get enough screen time and pretty much didn't show up in his full glory until the last 20 minutes or so. Here, Kong shows up in the first 5 minutes and it doesn't really slow down after that. That's great to a degree, but does kind of suck the awe out of his mighty presence. I think I figured out how they will be able to match Kong up with Godzilla in 2020. Here it is explained that he is "still growing". From 1973 (the timeframe this film takes place in) until 2020 is plenty of time to "grow". He could be 300 feet or more by the time he squares off against the Big G. <br><br>And also, the end credits scene.... YES!!!<br> | Vaporman87 | Mar 13, 2017 |  |
| 34323 | Legendary's Kong | I guess I'll be the first to post about it, I saw Kong Skull Island today. Pretty good movie, a fresh take on the King Kong franchise and attempted to be different from previous installaments. I honestly thought the creatures were not as great as the 2005 version (seriously, deer and giant water buffalo?).<div><br></div><div>But overall, pretty good.</div> | Rick Ace Rhodes | Mar 13, 2017 | |

| 34320 | Last Movie You Watched | We watched a couple of movies this weekend. One kind of newer, and a couple of older ones.<div style="font-weight: normal;"><br></div><div><b>Guardians of the Galaxy </b>- I finally got around to watching this one for the first time. I thought it was a pretty fun movie and a nice entry in the Marvel universe of films. Star Lord is a really fun character, and everyone played their parts well. I'd give it a <b>4.5 out of 5</b>.</div><div style="font-weight: normal;"><br></div><div><b>Twister</b><span style="font-weight: normal;"> - I saw this the first time when it hit theaters back in 1996 and loved it then. I've seen it a couple of times since then, and always enjoy it. It has a high rewatchability factor to it. The effects are starting to look dated, but the story is a fun one. </span><b>4 out of 5</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">.</span></div><div><b><br></b></div><div><b>Smokey and the Bandit</b><span style="font-weight: normal;"> - Still one of my favorite movies of all time, and infinitely quotable. Great car chase scenes and just a fun movie from beginning to end. </span><b> 5 out of 5</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">. </span></div><div><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img width="300" height="300" src="/images/postImages/1489420671Movie Posters.jpg"></div> | mickyarber | Mar 13, 2017 | |
| 34319 | The Café | well my mom's shingles seem to be going away, so her medicine has finally started to do something right aside from putting her to sleep. she's been sleeping at night a lot easier and she doesn't seem to hurt as much when she's pushed up against her bed when laying down. | Benjanime | Mar 13, 2017 | |
| 34318 | The Café | <div>well after a long wait, i've finally gotten around to purchasing shovel knight on steam. time to find out just how great this game is :)</div><div><br></div><div><img src="/images/postImages/1489382203shovelanimation.gif"></div> | Benjanime | Mar 13, 2017 | |

Every little thing ties together! There is even room to interpret theories about the characters. </div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">Speaking of which I have my own theory about John Goodman/Howard-</div><div><b style="font-style: normal;">Spoilers</b>- <font color="#ffffff">I think that Howard's wife and daughter are buried underground where we see the two pigs at the beginning of the movie. Maybe they tried to <i>leave</i> him for running what they thought was a fool's errand by building a bomb shelter. Howard then abducts that girl Brittany who dies. He then stalks Elizabeth Winstead beginning at the gas station where we see a truck pull in behind her. There is a line where he was 40 miles away from home leading to believe that it really was a kidnapping. Once Emmet is killed, Howard is happy to have his family again. I'm sure there is more! I'll have to rewatch it! </font></div> | echidna64 | Mar 13, 2017 | |

I like the original even though I didn't get around to watching it much. I remember seeing an episode with the folks from WKRP in Cincinnati. <br> | Vaporman87 | Mar 13, 2017 | |
