Soon enough you will be shouting out La Publicite, as well.

A great movie and fun to share that with all of you, too. The katsu was icing on the cake of a very heavy eating day.

Excuse me while I go unswallow

Watched the Dark Knight trailer yesterday. Wow. Between that and Indy 4, it's going to be a cool summer.

I love me some Heath Ledger. His Joker is going to be teh awesome!





Now how is it Not Afraid managed to see The Women before I have? I'm gonna lose my gay card for sure!

Honey, I was a FH before you were gay.

That's enough to keep me from seeing the film.

You'll need to take a long bathroom break, as this doesn't happen quickly. For the record...

Spoiler:

When Will Smith is hanging upside down, the sun sets, and he finally cuts himself free of the trap he's in, saunter out to the lobby. Give yourself about ten minutes. Really, though , this story point is well handled. I would be lying if I told you I didn't choke up.

I enjoyed this movie quite a bit. It felt more like a remake of Omega Man than an adaptation of the Richard Matheson source novella, but it was nicely done, and Will Smith carries the whole thing admirably.

Follow question about I Am Legend.

Spoiler:

I know they screwed with the origin of the dog (it is spoiled in the trailer) but is the death handled pretty much the same way as the book?

Not entirely on topic, but pretty darn amusing...

From George Carlin:

"If you're going to insist on making movies based on crappy old television shows, then you have to give everyone in the Cineplex a remote so we can see what's playing on the other screens. Let's remember the reason something was a television show in the first place is that the idea wasn't good enough to be a movie"

Hahaha^.


Um, I never read the novel, so I have no idea what spawned or became of the dog in the book. But if you chicken out on the dog's fate in the movie, you will miss the best part of Will Smith's rather good performance.
