That's a lot of Monkey

King Kong is going to weigh in at three hours, reports the New York Times. Peter Jackson generated a lot of good will with many, including me, for the Lord of the Rings, but I don't know about three hours to tell what is basically a very simple story. I'm not sure if I'll see this one in the theaters after all. Of course, given the few movies I've seen in the theaters lately, I guess that's not saying much.
