Not all blonde haired people are “attractive†looking. Plenty of blonde haired people can look like anything, be attractive, be plain looking or be ugly looking.
So progressive, but we still dont have Single Payer Healthcare… Obummer…
The reason Kong 'fell' for Ann was because she was white. For however long before the action of the movie, the inhabitants of the island sacrificed what they had, ie young black women. One after the other over and over. Then all of a sudden there's this screaming pale blond woman. Of course Kong would act differently.
Its so bad.
The difficulties of this show were first solved some years ago in Australia when it had been described as impossible to stage. The staging was incredibly spectacular, but the music is terrible, for which reason the show was not a great success. Spectacle isn't enough, story and music must be good also. Will be interesting to learn if there have been major revisions to improve it. I notice an Australian accent in the technical crew here so suspect the staging technicalities are following from the start created in Australia.
That interview made me cry. And cannot wait to see this show.
King Kong was not a “take†on “Birth of A Nation.†Good gracious.
What a great piece and a great lady and her dad. I'm proud of her too. She really is amazing in the role. Hope the show runs a long time so that I can take my kids to see it. So glad I got to see the show with her in it.
Looks Amazing from all Aspects.

I'm sick of the black woman white man bullshit.
Black Women Have Black Boyfriends And Husbands Too!
Bullshit! Black woman white man bullshit constantly forced before our eyes!
