jetpack_monkeyWe've mostly been watching original Trek and I've been playing Fallout games.
Movies I've seen before are in italics.
Phantom of the Opera (1925)
Frankenstein (1931)
Clue (1985)
Son of Frankenstein (1939)
King Kong (1933)
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982)
A lot of films in my tour of showingsol_se classic Universal horror.
I mainly want to talk this week about what a profound disappointment I found King Kong. I had such fond memories of this movie and it's just a load of white colonizer bulls**t. None of the male characters are likable and the female lead is a non-entity. The only thing the movie has going for it is Kong, who is admittedly quite impressive.
We watched "Space Seed" and so followed it up with Wrath of Khan, which is still probably the best Trek movie and just a damn good film in general. "Like a poor marksman, you keep. missing. the target."
