Well I've been trying to get to the theater for a couple of weeks now, I really wanted to see this one. Being a big fan of the first two versions "Last Man On Earth" with Vincent Price, and "The Omega Man" with Charlton Heston, I really wanted to see the new version with Will Smith.

Finally made it this afternoon. It was a good flick. I'm not really ready to say it was better than the previous versions or that it was outstanding, but I still really enjoyed it. I think they did a great CG job on the city and Monster/Zombies. I look forward to seeing it again when it comes out on DVD in the future. So I give it a Thumbs Up, very entertaining flick. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

The only real con to me was that it seamed to be over too fast, I could have enjoyed a little longer version, maybe the eventual DVD will have a longer Directors Cut. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

So has anyone else seen it? What'd you think?

I wasn't sure what to think of that one until I heard an interview with Tom Hanks, it got me interested in it. I'm glad to hear a recommendation on it. I don't really go to too many movies and I have to see "National Treasure 2" so I may have to wait on the DVD on that one, but I'll look forward to it when I do finally get a chance to see it, Thanks.

I loved CCW(Great acronym)as well. It really skipedout how the US and especially the saudis only funded the Pashtuns particularly the ones who supported sharia law
at the expense of the Tajiks(The Northern Alliance)who did most of the fighting against the soviets. In fact most of the US and Saudi money went to fighting the Tajiks not the Soviets. Afghanistan never had sharia law before and was considered the most liberal muslim country and a great vacation spot. It even had bars for tourists and women could drive,work and go to school. The Tajiks are the ones doing most of the fighting with our guys against the taliban. I have friends over there who are very impressed with them. They are tough bastards who patrol on flat bed trucks where we only go in tanks.

The head of the Northern Alliance Massoud was murdered by Al Quaida 2 days before sept 11. He was the one guy who probably could have captured Osama. The Pakistani secret service was also terrible for funding the worst sharia law supporting taliban warlords but for different reasons. They wanted the Pashtuns to give up claims to land on their side of the afghan border(there are Pashtuns on either side)for this they used your money and guns.

If it was not for Charlie Wilson and the Saudis there would be no Taliban.

I saw it I am Legend recently and found it to be pretty good, though it did have some flaws and could have gone more in depth into a couple things (ah the dvd extras). Also managed to catch 30 days of night which I found to be an awesome vampire movie.

On a side note who's gonna change their house now or already has it bomb proof? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I Am Legend was very good - the wife and I finally found some time to go to the theater, and thats what we decided to see. I'll buy it on DVD, for sure.

I Am Legend. Just another cautionary tale. Don't F*ck with Mother Nature!! Can't say I fully agree.


If you're not pissed off you're not paying attention.

It's food for thought, for sure!

Been thinking about my Zombie proofing techniques. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I may need some improvements, who knew there might be smart ones. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I enjoyed it I do admit


I was screaming "PLOT POINT" when he crawled away from the rifle

house folding like a house of cards was another point that really annoyed me to no end

good movie though

makes me wanna rent "last man on Earth" and "Omega Man" for a rewatch

Charlton Heston would kick Will's butt.
