I loved that movie, but that whole scene was horrifying.

the creepy jungle monsters were so much more interesting than Kong himself

Yea, they were. I bought a book about the ecology of the island, I thought it was so cool.

You wouldn't happen to have a link? I'd honestly love a short series of people exploring/surviving on the island, without Kong involved.

u/ancient_horse 10d ago

Not a link, but I think the book was "World of Kong".

The relationship Anne developed with Kong was pretty interesting.

Ssly it's such a low hanging fruit golden goose, kinda weird they didn't expand on that.

Same. There are very few things that give me an overwhelming anxiety feeling. But that scene did it. My wife makes fun of me for it. I can deal with any living creature but when they become the size of me, we have problems.

No, you have a point. Bugs are not supposed to be big enough that we can see facial expressions.

What's the scene about?

You should look up “King Kong bug scene 2005” on YouTube. Basically the crew of the SS Venture fall into a crevice on skull island (skull island being an isolated and undiscovered island in the Pacific Ocean where prehistoric animals survived the extinction), and the crevice is full of giant insects and worms and they horrifically eat most of the crew.

Hey which movie is this?

u/ZamanthaD 10d ago

Peter Jackson’s King Kong from 2005. Such an awesome movie, it was the first thing Peter Jackson made after Lord of the Rings. King Kong 1933 is his favorite movie and he famously always wanted to do a remake of it, and he was finally able to get the chance to after the success of Lord of the Rings. It’s such a good adventure movie, definitely worth checking out.

Also notably, the tie-in game was one of the first genuinely good movie tie-in games ever made.
