The World of Disney characters were perhaps our biggest pop culture obsession at the time; We watched "The Wonderful World.." every Sunday night, the old and the New Mickey Mouse Club in syndication. got books and a plastic book holder from "The Wonderful World of Reading" series as seen on TV, even went to Disney World in Florida that summer of '77...)<br /><br />We also had a jigsaw puzzle of that King Kong movie poster. I knew nothing of the actual King Kong movie til I saw the MAD Magazine parody "King Korn" 5 years later. Watched a made-for-TV version a year later. Caught the full version on VHS in 1986. Not a great movie but truly a lesson in over-hype-ness. And would rewatch every now and then..Rajhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14817768602839199122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5466454387904829989.post-89258628669442227892011-12-30T08:53:37.540-05:002011-12-30T08:53:37.540-05:00I SAW KING KONG 76 IN Nashville, TN.

Almost the worst movie I ever saw in a theater. Some kid cried at the end...Screaming Crying! Miserable.

I also had a puzzle that was the movie poster as well as the scale model. I collected all those thing even though I found the film terribly disappointing. As fourteen year old I apparently had plenty of disposable income.<br /><br />Alberto Ramirez Jr.Arts in the Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11291841102216956487noreply@blogger.com
