THIN KONG

This week, tongues have been raised and eyebrows sent wagging when a videotaped tribute to George Lucas screened at the AFI Lifetime Achievement Awards ceremony revealed a shockingly (shockingly!) svelte Peter Jackson, looking more Gollum than fats Hobbitseses.

None of this should have been news to anyone following the video diaries on KongIsKing.net, the official website for his due-January King Kong remake, where his transformation from furry meatball to bearded Slim Jim (pause to dry heave) has been meticulously documented. And no kids: this is not just another CGI effect like the ones overstuffing his movie's trailer, which premiered on all NBC Universal owned networks last night.
