Re: KONG GODZILLA
This “visual effect” that was the brunette babe (the one that Kong crushed in the ship ) was especially well done.

Re: KONG GODZILLA
Watched it last night. Liked the fight scenes, but we'd need 4 hours sitting around on a nice warm evening, drinking and smoking, to properly rag over the rest of this. To be fair, I think the CGI effects and the sound to the film was incredibly impressive you really got the feel of these were enor...

Re: KONG GODZILLA
I realize it wasnt especially geared towards me at my age of 56, but as a lifelong fan of the King Kong movies, I took this film as being a bit too sci-fi, excess, and hard to “believe/get behind” as it had soooo many elements and scenes that were too 15yr old teen-ish . It was taking the Kong chara...

I think, given the times, they almost have to go Digital in order to survive I am amazed they made it this long, given the cost of printing, and the lack of demand for printed material of all forms in this digital age Embrace the times and go digital, and drastically Cut your costs, so you can stay ...

Accountant for a non essential business -down sized and I’m on “permanent lay-off.” Boom!! Income whoooosh, done. Come on federal stimulus check!!! Then come in unemployment!!

Re: Thank goodness for our little hobby...
Yes with the mandated nonessential shut down that came over the weekend I’m now out of work. There are many businesses that may not survive to see the other side of this The company I work for is large enough I think it will survive an extended layoff, But it may be a different story for many of the...

Re: Thank goodness for our little hobby...
Just moved to stay Louis and bought a condo. Things looking good. Dream finally coming to fruition Then this hits. I find out my new accounting job is cutting us all down to 4days a week, and obviously, less pay. But I am thankful for all I have (even a job at 20% pay cut is better than being out of...

Nope no longer around. I see Dan and Barbara at the ToyMan toy shows in St. Louis. They usually have a booth set up there. Yes, I was stunned, shocked, and glad to unexpectedly see Barb at the front desk at the recent Toyman show when I went in to pay admission to get in I spent some time there and...

Was born and raised in Southern Illinois, but once I got my license, I was always driving to these bigger cities in the tri state area. Evansville. Paducah, Cape Girardeau, and especially St Louis. I always loved and felt a unique connection to St Louis. So much more here to see, do, experience, and...
