Re: Kong trailer

All in all  the movie  is not about scientific accuracy, lets face it
theres a huge ape in it and I am sure some of the things he does would turn
his legs into matchsticks unless they are reinforced with titanium  and even
then I have my doubts  but its about entertainment so lets not pick it apart
with our preconceptions on dinosauria  and rather just lay back  and watch
it with the openmind of a young child
