I AM LEGEND sucks the gay out of Liberache's anus! Read the book and you'll just think, "Why?" Such a great intellectual property ruined.

Totally agree Rod, but that does go for most novels to film adaptations. I Am Legend was more Vampires though... It was George A. Romero who took Matheson's Vampires and turned them into hordes of Zombies.

Much better than that piece of Chit I AM LEGEND.

For anyone making zombie flicks:

Please stay true to the classic zombie. Don't pull any of this "super human" zombie crap. Zombies are slow and dumb. What makes them so scary is their pure numbers. The fact that no matter how many you kill, they will never stop coming at you. They will keep coming and coming and coming. Not the fact that they can run/jump better than Olympic athletes....

Running Zombies / Slow Zombies
MAC / PC
DVX / XL1

An age old debate.

I welcome both spins on the genre. Slow or Fast.

Correct. And the remake of dawn of the dead...

Those were not zombies in 28 days later. Why does everyone say they were?

Everyone says they are because on the 28 Days Later poster it says
"Danny Boyle reinvents the Zombie genre"

I agree though, they arent zombies. They are rabid plague victims.

I suppose one definition of a Zombie is someone who (per Wiki)

A zombie is a mythical creature that appears in folklore and popular culture typically as a reanimated corpse or a mindless human being

And they really are just that, a new spin on an old idea.

Exactly. The genre needed a reinvention and got it. 28 DAYS LATER is scary and a fab film. How can one no tlike it ? Unless wearing Romero Goggles ...

In my Zombie world, I have the FRESH FACTOR. The fresher the zombie, the faster ... the older? Slower.

You are correct, even about the anus part. The original written piece was awesome and by changing the ending, which I think all movie versions did, they ruined the whole point of the story. That was travesty of adaptation, but what I meant were the monsters were cool.
 
I Am Legend is one of my dream projects; they ruined it with the Will Smith version; resembles nothing of the book.

The book is credited with inspiring Romero's NighotLDead as well as inspiring Stephen King to become a writer. One day, damn it, I will make I AM LEGEND.

LOL! I was going to post the EXACT same thing! Even ending it mid quote and bailing since everyone around here probably knows it, just as you did. :grin:

Actually, what I wanted to do was come up with some clever parody, like "In space, no can hear you ADR" or something like that, but that was the best one I came up with and I thought it was lame, so that's why I bailed. :D

Exactly! I had such high hopes for it too with the trailers (especially after really enjoying Francis Lawrence's other movie Constantine). I understand that it might have been tough to explain two types of vampires but not impossible... and he was suppose to be the LAST... what the heck was that.

But really it was the ending. The ending is what makes the original story so impacting and if anything that is where the title comes from. Instead of a werewolf or loch ness monster being a legend... it's a human that will go on in legend in a world full of vampires.

I do hope you get to make it John. I'm gonna remake the Star Wars prequels:)
 
I might have to borrow from Rod and go for
"The return of Liberache's anus" for my Monster project.

It's a deep subject with so much to expand upon.

Besides I think George would like it. :p
 
Yes, the collaboration forum will come when Jason gets home ... remember we are all in travel mode from the screening this past weekend, so work is coming a little slower these first couple days.
