Anyone see "I Am Legend"? What did u think?

[Ason]

Hey, he's no Tom Hanks

And grateful I am for that.  I think Tom Hanks is an atrocious actor.

Whaat?



full half century at sea for America's entertainment

Sarah obviously hasn't seen The Money Pit.

[masterofsparks]

Or Bachelor Party.

I haven't seen this, but it can't be as bad as Walk Hard. Eww buoy.

[Sarah]

Yes, I realize I stated the obvious.  But why do so many people think he is a good actor?  How has he become a standard by which some people measure mastery of the craft? 

It's all just so puzzling.

Oh, and merry Christmas, by the way.

[Martin]

Tom Hanks is horrible, no doubt about it.

Cherry Mistmas!

[Josh]

You guys can't talk about a war hero like Tom Hanks like that!

also, what's so good about Will Smith's performance? That amazing, heart wrenching scene where he works up the courage to talk to a mannequin he has a crush on? His ability to quote Shrek for what seemed like a half an hour?

I think I was more impressed that for a few moments he seemed like someone other than Will Smith.

[Sarah]

I just started listening to the book and have learned that all the movies conveniently chose to ignore the hero's ridiculous horniness.  He's pathetic.  I mean, five months of celibacy are too much for him?  That's some handicap.

It's a guy thing
you wouldn't understand.

Sorry, I know I'm supposed to believe that you fellows are helpless slaves to your loins, but I don't.  Rather, I think it's a very convenient excuse for self-indulgence and weak will.

Modern humans are indistinguishable from those early hunter-gather tribes 40,000 years ago in Africa

I watched this last night, and while I didn't hate it, I found it pretty boring. Will Smith is a terrible actor. And those CGI people were shockingly horribly done - I mean wow, in this day and age, with all that money, etc etc. Like above-average cut scenes from a video game.

There's no way you can be certain of this, as your "I think" acknowledges.  Besides, even if biologically we are identical, millennia of civilization, however imperfect, have influenced the way we think.  Reason can triumph over impulse.  Sadly, it can also be put to its service.

I do like that you cite INXS as your authority, though.

By the way, I've now almost finished listening to I Am Legend (a straight reading of the book, not a dramatization), and after three years Robert Neville's sex drive has become dormant.

P.S. While by no means perfect, The Last Man on Earth is far truer to the book than either of the other film adaptations.

And now a musical response:

very "Protestant Ethic" Sarah
you seem a stern and upright person of high moral fiber



Being a degenerate myself I always appreciate those qualities in others
