Great video. Very glad I'm not the only one skeeved by Peter Jackson's version of the Islanders. RE the oil man - I could imagine maybe a movie producer wanted to capitalize on public anger over the doubling of oil prices in 1974 by making an oil man a villain... and there were a lot of colorful "entrepeneurs" in the 1970s US oil boom (Dallas the show began in 1978) so I kind of could buy it.

2015-08-22 19:16:54 +0000 UTCAnother great video Lindsay. The original Kong was one of my favorite childhood films. And I make no apologies for stating this, but I squealed when you mentioned doing a Godzilla episode in the future. Also thanks for including the Toho Kong films, I was definitely surprised to see them included.

2015-08-01 19:57:54 +0000 UTCYay! Great video as always. And what's with future King Kong saving Earth from dinosaurs? Why haven't I heard about such a thing being made? :O Shouldn't next episode be episode 7, though? Unless the mini canon about Mad Max counts too.

2015-08-01 15:50:53 +0000 UTCOkay I figured out the borking - thought I'd copied the names down wrong, but turns out I'd just borked and forgot to include one of the cards. Oops! Fixed and reuploading now, thanks for letting me know!

2015-08-01 15:49:57 +0000 UTCGreat video, thoroughly enjoyed it :D I particularly liked that you took time to talk about the natives across versions briefly, really helped flesh out the context you were talking in. Plus, interesting. Personally hoping for Magneto to win, but I'm sure no matter which character does you'll make it interesting!

2015-08-01 11:42:50 +0000 UTCI think we all know which of the three X-Men Lindsay is hoping will win :P *coughNightcrawlercough*

2015-08-01 10:12:05 +0000 UTCGood stuff as always, but slight editing snafu at ~10:03. Looks like you repeated the "King Kong vs Gozdilla" lower third instead of listing "King Kong Escapes." Had me scratching my head for a moment hearing you say one name while reading something different that I thought I'd already just read shortly before...

2015-08-01 06:43:09 +0000 UTCOkay. Just making sure that I'm still supporting you for the fantastic content. Seriously, it's hard to find, on the internet, insight on cinema likes yours.
2015-08-01 05:13:46 +0000 UTCCrap I've mucked something up, I'll fix it first thing tomorrow.

2015-08-01 04:57:05 +0000 UTCGreat video! Noticed that I didn't get a credit at the end. I hope my pledges are going through. I'm more concerned about that than really getting any kind of recognition.
2015-08-01 04:50:27 +0000 UTCThat is a very good question.

2015-08-01 04:41:39 +0000 UTCWhy haven't I yet seen Blazing Saddles?

2015-08-01 04:22:08 +0000 UTCThanks Lindsay! Another interesting video, keep up the great work.
