  Lisa Clair’s The Making of King Kong, now playing at The Doxsee at Target Margin Theater thru December 15, is not a documentary about the 1933 horror/sfx classic or slick offsite pop-up for King Kong The Musical.  For one thing, the only glimpses of the Brooklyn version of the "Eighth Wonder of the World!" who tore up Manhattan are of his giant (and very busy) paw and on video screens.  The other is that none of the previous versions have a song remotely like "King Kong Plays Ping Pong With His Ding Dong".  That alone is reason to revisit Skull Island
