[SOC] King Kong

[Jan Clute]

This is true. Someone finally built a new 16-plex (Galaxy?) on Council 
St. in Cedar Rapids. First competition the various Carmike multiplexes 
have had in years, but the movie was showing all over. My son wanted to 
sit in the thirrd row which may account for some of the dazzle.
He's good (this director) but he needs to tone it down or he's going to 
exhaust his audiences. I felt the same way about the Lord of The Rings. 
Enough, already. Let me breathe occasionally. 73 Jan N0AAA
