Weird how this won 'best picture'. Doesn't seem the sort of material the Oscars community would like. Can't think of or any other sci-fi films to win best picture. The Phantom Menace almost won an Oscar for Jar Jar Binks performance, of course.
I could hang with the premise until the two ladies started gossiping about the creatures genitals. That took the entire story to the point of absurdity from which it couldn't recover. 5/10

Because women don't talk about sex. They don't fart either.

I was sure Jar Jar would take home best supporting actor...
Regarding the best picture Oscar, I think the Academy liked all the references to the old movies on TV, the old cinema they lived above that was playing all the old movies, and the old time Hollywood dream sequence dance number near the end. The Academy eats that kind of stuff up - their own history and all.

This movie is not politically correct enough. I need to retreat back to my safe space.

So King Kong is about a giant gorilla who has a hard-on for a blonde? I think I'll pass. It won't be remembered in a year.

A lot of women liked this film.
Don't let it ever be said that women aren't just as "odd" in their sexual predilections as men are.

Amen to that.
