Peter Jackson's Interpretation of King Kong

This movie is too friggin' long IMO. To me there were a lot of unnecessary scenes that we [the audience] could have done without. I can't help but feel that PJ was still in his LotR mode [each movie in the LotR trilogy were notoriously long as well]. Either that or he was pushing his effects team to new limits and showcasing what they could do. Mind you the effects on this movie were top notch and I'm not taking anything away from them. My impression of this adaptation of King Kong was that PJ wanted the audience to empathize with the beast and not fear it. This couldn't have been done any better and by the end of the movie you would almost be rooting for the big ape [well I was] but we all know how the story goes and this movie is no different [thank the maker!]. What I didn't like about the film was the excessive scenes in SKULL ISLAND. I would have appreciated it more if these scenes were shortened and the NYC scenes were lengthened a bit [don't you think Kong would've done much more damage in a city full of unfamiliar sights, sounds, and smells?] Well PJ and his effects team have outdone themselves again... next time though I hope he makes his film shorter say 150 mins max [I'd say this should be the longest run time of any film--if it doesn't fit put it in a Special Edition DVD or make a sequel].

Both have been loosing market share to Apple, Android and Blackberry in recent years. WindowsMobile (previously PocketPC and currently WindowsPhone) once the dominant mobile OS, yes folks before the iPhone came into power Microsoft slowly but surely killed of it’s main competitor palm OS, which was acquired by hp last year and is now barely a sliver of a shadow of it’s former former former self. Just this week hp/palm unveiled 2 new smartphones the palm Pre 3 and Veer, as well as their entry into the tablet space with the TouchPad. hp being one of the top computer manufacturers at the moment has the resources to use and spread webOS like a creamy peanut butter across all markets they are in. By being one of MSFT’s biggest customers now suddenly not using Windows7 (still MSFT’s tablet OS of choice) and churning out comp...
