The director of the upcoming "Kong: Skull Island" was on a Sunday flight when he noticed his seat-mate was browsing through his alt-right Facebook feeds.

Apparently he closely monitored what this guy was browsing, constantly updating it through tweets.

On one hand, what's his business sticking his nose into someone else's private browsing? He clearly seemed to be quite aggressive and escalating the situation. And his constant tweeting makes him seem like an immature brat.

On the other hand, the seat-mate was clearly a drunken jerk. I sense that he is the type of person that does things like this just to provoke and bait people, and he clearly did that here. Sure, no one is saying you have to look closely at what others are doing, but in that type of environment, it tends to happen.

I myself would never browse material that could be highly offensive to others. When I fly, I simply watch the online movie, or read kindle books on my phone. I don't display politics, I don't do any of that. Why can't more people be respectful of others, on all sides?

'Kong: Skull Island' director live-tweets ugly confrontation with alt-right plane seatmate

Things are getting tense out there, folks — it's almost like there's a 35-story gorilla in the room no matter where you go. And as we've learned, giant gorillas and airplanes don't mix.

Kong: Skull Island director Jordan Vogt-Roberts was on a flight Sunday night when he tweeted that he noticed his seat-mate was scrolling through his "heavily alt-right dominated Facebook feed."

And then it got ugly.

Sounds like the director is one of those kooky types that constantly monitor their neighbors through the kitchen window.

A whole lot of getting into other peoples business there. How is he sure the guy broke his charger? So he assumes, because the guy is a big follower of right wing BS, that he's also intentionally destroying his phone charger and a Nazi.

I'm a liberal, but this is the kind of stuff that makes me despise social media. The attempt to shame other people out of context and with no repercussions is sick, IMO.

The internet magnifies people's already kooky behavior. Technology is new, people's behavior isn't.

what a sissy. why does he feel the need to externalize and make public
every little annoying thing this guy did ? clearly the man wasn't annoying
him on purpose, vogt-roberts just decided to manifest his own political
viewpoints onto a total stranger.

this is very weird, I see he is only 35, is this what "men" act like
who are under 40 today ?

I would have just live-Tweeted in response that I was sitting next to the director of Kong: Skull Island and he was viewing child pornography.
