I couldn't agree with you more, on all the points you make, Sly. Besides, I think after "King Kong," Jackson will be seen as 'the man.' Its one thing to take Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" and run with it, as that book is one of the most widely read ever, but to adapt an entirely new screenplay to KK......well if he pulls it off, and early word is looking like KK is sensational, this picture will also go over a billion dollars. So Jackson's last four movies would gross $4 Billion.........folks, no one else is even close to putting up numbers like that, not Spielberg, not Lucas, no one.
