Holiday Hiatus

Some questions for you to ponder while I am away for T'sgiving:

If you could sing one song perfectly - if you could be the world's best performer for that particular song - what song would you choose?

If there had never been a movie called King Kong, would you even consider going to see a movie starring Naomi Watts and a giant gorilla? Just read the plot summary from IMDB - what about this makes you think it would be worth your $8+?
Set in the 1930s, this is the story of a group of explorers and documentary filmmakers who travel to the mysterious Skull Island (near Sumatra) to investigate legends of a giant gorilla named Kong. Once there, they discover that King Kong is a real creature, living in a massive jungle where creatures from prehistoric times have been protected and hidden for millions of years. As the explorers search for the great ape, their quest puts them up against both Kong and his dinosaur enemies. Ultimately, it is the attention of a beautiful human woman that soothes Kong long enough for him to be subdued by the explorers and shipped back to New York, where his bleak future involves being put on display in front of humans... but how long can even the mightiest shackles of man hold back an ape 25 feet tall?

I was sold at the words "giant gorilla".

I think you're really asking the wrong question. The real question seems to be, why WOULDN'T you see this movie?

I would not see that movie. I hate apes. I don't know why. Giant apes. People in ape suits. Whatever. Ick.

I kind of wish I would sing If I Had a Hammer perfectly. Not a challenging song but well...I guess I just want to be able to sing like Mary. We've heard my rendition of of Leaving on a Jet Plane and well...sad...
