Hmmm. In the same way I felt/still feel odd about the dog, I now feel unsure about the house. That is a large outlay, even if a mortgage is involved. But I'm thinking more about the upkeep. On that sort of home it would be massive. If he didn't have the inclination to employ/pay for his erstwhile lady maid, how is he going to feel about gardeners, pool people, driveway people, tennis court people, unless he's going to be mowing, cleaning, spreading gravel himself! That's a lot of money for a man who doesn't seem to be working much, and really didn't have any huge paydays with his other films. I'd guess Kong was his biggest pay check to date. What, $5m, $10m, maybe even $20m (that seems unlikely)? Then tax, agent fees, etc.

If I'm planning on working long hours on set, I'm not getting a dog. If I'm not going to be working, I'm not buying a house.

But I was wrong about the dog so I guess I could be wrong about this. My waters must be off. If he wanted it, the idea of settling down could be on his mind. That's a lot of room for a single man. Perfect for a harem though!!
