5 Things We Learned From I Am Legend And More News.

  • Welcome to the first segment of 5 things we learned from. Because of my poor will to be creative I have thought of 5 things that I Am Legend taught us about the world and about movies. Here it is starting from 5:

#5: When your infected/A Vampire you have no skin.

One of the very things that happens to you when you become infected from Will Smith’s version of I Am Legend is that your skin and hair are gone. Yet most of your clothes remain. You may be creepy as hell, but your missing a lot of your human features. This also happens in most movies when your infected, either that or your covered in either your own or someone else’s blood.

#4: If your not infected, lock yourself up in any way to not be seen or barricade windows, the infected won’t get in.

This bothered me a bit. Compared to the book, the book made more sense. For one thing Robert Neville is in an actual house. Will Smith Neville is not. Couldn’t they find other means to get in or just do what they did at the end? It seems the infected can get into the penthouse, yet you can never tell because of the explosion. Also they were Vampires in the book.

#3: When a virus breaks out, make sure you live near New Hampshire.

What else can I say? Just run for it.

#2: Never go full CGI on the infected.

No movie should ever do this. Especially with them. You couldn’t get full actors/actresses for them? It was interesting while it lasted, but it all seemed to much and unreal. Never, ever do this again in a movie.

#1: In the future their will be a Batman vs. Superman movie.

Just watch it before the end of the world. Here’s a picture where it was in the movie. Unfortunately, there's posters for other stuff, but those aren’t important. Just seeing it makes me more want to watch the movie. The only off-putting thing is the use of the old Tim Burton logo, which brings back all the bad Batman movies back in mind. But then again,they never make the same mistake 3 times. Unless your talking about Superman. I won’t go into that:

  • Planet Of The Apes isn’t far off from how society is going on today with making chimps full-fledged citizens. It may start in another part of the country as apparently chimp population dwindles. Poor chimps; don’t worry you will soon rule us all.
  • Just got the Indiana Jones set. My associate will make you buy it. I was about to buy the Best Buy set, but because of troubles with the economy (That’s an excuse, I’m just poor) I had to compensate and buy the Target set:

I’ll post pics later with the haul I’ve gotten after summer and some during. Also I wanted to save up for a horror game. I might go with Silent Hill: Origins first, but I’m still contemplating on getting either Dead Space or Silent Hill: Homecoming. I’m really bad at making choices.

  • Make sure to mark your calendars for October 28 since Spike TV will be showing Scream 2008, an award show supposedly, and will honor horror icons and feature lots of other cool stuff including footage from the Friday the 13th remake and some Watchmen clips! Don’t forget the date!
  • Next week The Incredible Hulk will be out on DVD so its time to save money again. I don’t know the exclusives which I was told of bit is all forgotten, but the set includes deleted scenes and a neat Easter Egg from one of the scenes. I won’t ruin it too much but they include a certain Avenger other than Tony Stark aka Iron Man. The new DVD of Iron Man also featured a little of an Easter Egg within the movie of this certain Avenger. Bet you can’t guess who it is if you don’t know:

The bat-logo issue wouldn't be as notable if they hadn't of used it with the more recent Superman Returns S-shield.

The New Hampshire bit made me chuckle.

Batman vs Superman? o.O
I wanna see that! Though I still haven't seen all the Superman movies. I think I've seen most of the batman ones except the one with Heath Ledger?

Also, thankies for the comment. But why were you scared? o.O
