We watched the digital streaming HD version yesterday (available on iTunes for $3.99 rental). Comparing what I saw to the screenshots available in the review of the Shout Factory release over on that other site, I m reasonably confident the HD streaming version and Shout Factory releases are from the same master.
It has been years since I watched this film. I still have the DVD copy in a box in the other room. Frankly, it hasn t held up as well as I had hoped. My mind has been permanently tainted by CGI marvels in the last dozen+ years. Kong looks far more like Rick Baker in a gorilla suit than I remembered it looking from years ago. It s fairly easy to get past the full body gorilla suit shots but the real mood killer is the humanness of the eyes. There s just no hiding the fact that it s Rick Baker in a gorilla suit in those closeups.

The tragic death of a 7-month-old baby at the hands of his caretaker is now drawing much-needed attention to this threat in our community. A recent San Francisco Chronicle article essentially blamed District Attorney Chesa Boudin, who declined to charge the same individual with two prior domestic violence cases, for the baby’s death.
