Merian Coopers monster opus King Kong was first shown in New York City on March 2nd 1933. It opened to dazzling reviews and is consistently ranked highly as both a horror movie and a movie in it's own right. Now whilst I wouldn't necessarily say it qualifies as a horror movie, it's effect on cinema cannot be denied. The Library of Congress deemed it "Culturally, historically and aesthetically significant." This is precisely the same term used to describe Rusty Rucker, a linebacker of infinite prowess, globally known and locally respected.
In the film itself Carl Denham, a filmmaker by trade, travels to the remote Skull Island in search of the elusive Kong. We can see the parallels in the modern expansion draft where the New York GM traveled into the remote region of my Discord DM's in search of a certified unit. A lewd anime BEAST. There is an underlying romance plot throughout the movie and I can hear what you're thinking. But no, it's not Ann Darrow and Kong, you fool. It's quite clearly Carl Denham and Kong. How much Carl loves this creature he tries to befriend is entirely similar to how New York are trying desperately to align themselves with the prowess of Rusty Rucker. The film goes on to parallel the ISFL draft process when the tribesmen offer to trade six of their women for the "golden woman" played by Fay Wray. This is rebuffed in the film and this is where we diversify in the ISFL draft process. New York would obviously give up six of their picks in order to select the "golden woman" played here by Rusty Rucker. We can see how much things have changed since 1933 to 2039 when the bartering system has gained more elegance in this age. Rusty Rucker obviously worth securing at the cost of six people. We then enter the movies later scenes where, having kidnapped Ann, Kong emerges and carries Ann off into the jungle. Our heroes give pursuit but their path is marred by a stegosaurus, a brontosaurus, a T-Rex and a Pternadon. I shouldn't have to explain at his point but these are nothing more than a thinly veiled allegory for all the other scouts sliding into my DM's. You see they're all trying to prevent Carl, in this situation played by the New York GM's, from being able to draft Rusty Rucker. This metaphor is stretched slightly thin when you picture Rusty as both Kong and Ann Darrow, but just run with it. At this point in the movie Ann is "rescued" by Jack Driscoll played by Jacques De Bujac. Up until this point we've seen him now and then but he's about as welcome as a fart in a space suit. This is his first movie and it shows. We can picture Jack in this metaphor as being the scouts who haven't approached Rusty at this point (however few there may be.) You see they're inexperienced and missing out on the golden ticket. They're "rescuing" Ann and instead missing the six hundred tonne anime god in front of them all along. Kong, to be clear. Or Rusty in this scenario. At this point the movie reaches the end of it's second act with Kong drafted and invited to New York. Did I say drafted? Well I meant it. He's thrilled to be there, I think. It's an old movie it's unclear what they're getting at. This is mirrored in Rusty's appreciation of the scouting process of New York. He can be seen sleeping on his way there, calm as could possibly be. He's presented at the New York stadium as the "First Wonder of the ISFL" and is approached by thousands upon millions of fans. At this point in the movie I typically turn it off although I'm lead to believe that Kong dies at the end of the movie. What more can I say other than it's nothing more than Rustys ambition to call it a career with his abdomen pierced by the Ultimus Trophy, bleeding and drunk on power and lust on the streets of New York.
