    Wonderful! I was going to subtly comment that there must have been slim pickings on the news to prompt you to GIF this — but your attribution above took some of the wind out of that sail. Truly a memorable moment from a great character.

    @stefanie I wondered about that too. The meteor kind of visually fizzles out in air, and I pictured Kong falling off and into the horizon. More GIFFing time needed for that one! @Andrew yes too much information on my part. I need a subtly brick to drop on my head as a reminder.

    So Kong falls into another dimension. A beautiful Idea.
    Do you know “The Surprising Adventures of Baron Munchausen”? Munchhausen rides a cannonball and goes to the moon.
