<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Why is it laughable? Amongst film buffs King Kong is revered as a great, great movie. Many, many directors have commented on the fact that watching King Kong as a child inspired them towards their chosen career.<BR>Plus of course it is perhaps a little presumptuous to say that it is laughable for someone who is involved with the film to say that it is going to be better when of course none of us knows anything about what it is going to be like.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Because if they had done Kong first & then LotR second, Taylor would be telling us that LotR will be even better than Kong . That's just the way they try to hype up their movies. I wasn't laughing at the fact that Kong will be nowhere near as good as LotR (maybe it will, maybe it won't), but more at the utter predictibility of Richard making that statement .
