Surely no one is surprised that the final cut of King Kong, Peter Jackson’s gazillion-dollar Star Jones biopic, is clocking in at three hours. Oh, except The New York Times’ perennially hysterical Sharon Waxman, who reacts as though Jackson has spent $200 million-plus on orphan snuff porn.
Happily, the story has resulted in a mess of equally boneheaded features by the dumber entertainment media outlets, with E! Online helpfully pointing out that Jackson’s version will be very nearly double the length of the original.
Oh well, if it’s that long, then Jackson and the folks at Universal must really think they have something. They’re certainly not relying on Naomi Watts’ box office pull.
