    I Am Legend... *groan*

    Really not expecting much with Will Smith involved
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Well, by co-incidence, I just watched Vincent Price in "The Last Man on Earth" last week for the first time, and I was surprised at how much I liked it. There are some problems with it, but a lot of nice attention to detail, like how he gets gas from abandoned fuel trucks in order to fill his generator so he has power. When I first saw he has lights inside, I was like "how could he have that three years later", then they show him getting gas. I recommend that movie very highly, especially to people on this board.

    At this point i'm fully expecting it to suck. i think the guy that directed "Constantine" is running this now. which constantine was easily one of the worst comic adapations i've seen. In adition to the film being about as coheirant as a "made for SciFi" original movie.

    Further with the prominence of that horrible product placement by Ford. i can only begin to imagine how utterly horrible "Legend" will end up.

    Yeah, "Constantine" sucked the big one alright, it was really bad.
    I don't hold out much hope for this either. Thing is, Matheson's novel is so beloved by fans of this genre that nothing short of genius will do when it comes to making the jump to the silver screen, I fear we're going to be very pissed of by this.

    will smith is the worst possible choice to play robert neville. there is no way that he can pull this off. this is worse (if that is possible) than him playing jim west in that travestical piece of s*ite "wild, wild, west."

    No way, you wrote the Midas Touch? I loved that story, the Jason idea was really really cool.
