Great movie and DVD edition.  The restoration frame by frame really 
makes a difference.

8PM EST is "I'm King Kong", a  new documentary on the colorful life of

What a life of adventure.  It was interesting to see how some of the 
scenes from his early exploits and movies made their way into the 1933 
King Kong.  Dan Varner must be in a state of pure bliss.

The book "The World of Kong : A Natural History of Skull Island" is out 
now too.
