King Kong Quotes

“Twas beauty killed the beast,‘ said the Dean, who liked to say things like that.
‘No it wasn‘t,‘ said the Chair. ‘It was it splatting into the ground like that.”
― Terry Pratchett, Moving Pictures

“Along with Batman v. Superman and Godzilla vs. Kong, I suppose we’ll get Frankenstein vs. Dracula, and perhaps Transformers vs. G.I. Joe in the HasbroVerse, and Warcraft vs. Angry Birds in the GameVerse — not to be confused with the BoardgameVerse of Battleship vs. Risk and Chutes and Ladders vs. Candy Land.

And eventually all of these shared universes will collide with all of the others, including Alien vs. Predator and Freddy vs. Jason, in a Brobdingnagian rumble pitting Jedi against Pirates of the Caribbean, Terminators against Borg, and Muppets against Smurfs, world without end. Even if for some inexplicable reason that doesn’t happen, the LegoVerse will make it happen”

“Denise, the Nazi soldiers in those trucks do not suspect they're about to be outfoxed by two girls." In the stillness before we spring back itno action, Denise looks to me, grinning like mad. She quotes a line from King Kong, one of my favorite movies I watched with Tom.
"'Oh no. It wasn't the airplanes. It was Beauty killed the Beast.”
― Amy McAuley, Violins of Autumn

“Experts say that the movie King Kong (1933) released the pent-up rage of the Great Depression. Well, COVID-19 Halloween displays could do the same for our feelings about the 2020 lockdown.”
― Stewart Stafford

“I had rooted for Godzilla and King Kong instead of for the people trying to kill them. ... Nobody likes to be awakened from slumber by a nuclear explosion”
― Sy Montgomery, The Soul of an Octopus: A Surprising Exploration into the Wonder of Consciousness

“Remember: King Kong died for your sins.”
― Greg Hill, Principia Discordia: The Magnum Opiate of Malaclypse The Younger

“King Kong is many things, but at the bottom it’s a lament for the end of the Age of Exploration. The westerners couldn’t be made until the closing of the West. And King Kong couldn’t be made until technology had domesticated nature. We scour the globe but only find ourselves, and like Alexander the Great, we despair. There are no new lands for us to conquer.”
― A.D. Jameson, Cinemaps: An Atlas of 35 Great Movies

“April 19 King Kong Day”
― F. Paul Wilson, Interlude at Duane's

“Şey tırmanırken Dibblerlar ağızları açık, izliyorlardı. Çok hızlı hareket etmiyordu, zaman zaman tutunacağı bir sonraki yeri aramak için gevezelenen Kütüphaneci'yi yakındaki bir desteğe bırakması gerekiyordu, ama yukarıya ilerliyordu.

"Ah, evet. Evet. Evet," diye nefes verdi Soll. "Ne resim ama! Saf sinema!"

"Çığlıklar atan bir maymunu yüksek bir binanın tepesine taşıyan dev bir kadın," diye içini çekti Dibbler. "Ve ücret ödememiz bile gerekmiyor!"

"Yaa," dedi Soll.

"Ya..." dedi Dibbler. Sesinde minik bir kararsızlık tınısı vardı.

Soll özlem dolu görünüyordu.

"Yaa," diye tekrarladı. "Ee."

"Ne demek istediğini anlıyorum," dedi Dibbler yavaşça.

"Bu... Yani, gerçekten harika, ama... şey, elimde değil..."

"Evet, yanlış bir şey var," dedi Dibbler ifadesiz bir sesle.

"Yanlış değil," dedi Soll ümitsizce. "Tam olarak yanlış değil. Öyle yanlış değil. Yalnızca eksik..." Söyleyecek söz bulamayarak sustu.

İçini çekti. Sonra Dibble içini çekti.

Tepede, gök gürültüsü patladı.

Ve gökyüzünden, üzerinde çığlık atan iki sihirbaz taşıyan bir süpürge çıktı.”
― Terry Pratchett, Moving Pictures
