King Kong.

*Mistake: I said "custom" instead of "customs".

I think King Kong can be used in class as conversation practice - and also for discussing things like sexism, racism and colonialism.
Do you think King Kong is sexist? In what way? Are films made these days less sexist/more/the same?

  • By the way.. Shouldn't it have been "Where've you been all morning?" Instead of "Where you been all moring?"

  • I have the DVD and I listened to this several times and he definately says "where you been" not "where have you been". It's not that uncommon to leave out the "have", don't you think?

  • I'm not sure about that.. It's almost the same as someone saying "I seen it!" Where, "I've seen it" or "I have seen it" would be more correct. "Where you been" kind of sounds like back-woods. Couldn't it be "Where you have been?"

  • I think people do say "I seen it", informally. It's like people in New York saying "how you doin?" instead of "how are you doing?" (If they actually say that.) I don't think dropping a word here and there in informal speech causes much confusion. It sounds friendly to me.
