Monkey Business

While watching a trailer for Peter Jackson’s remake of King Kong the other day (depicting the scene in which the eponymous anti-hero protects his human captive by beating a Tyrannosaurus Rex into submission in front of a savage jungle backdrop), my none-too-impressed wife offered the following light-hearted critique:

“That’s what ruined it: fucking dinosaurs. As if a big monkey wasn’t enough…”

And quite right, too. Once again, she encapsulates in thirteen words what would take me many more.
