I Am LegendWow, a great vampire book. A little depressing, but a very interesting take on the whole vampirism thing. Great Halloween read.

Another series starter, or is this one on its own?
It's too bad I have no time to read outside classes anymore....
|

It's actually a novella, it's pretty short. Definitely stand alone. The copy I have has a bunch of Matheson's short stories as well, because I Am Legend is only about half a novel in length.

Isn't a Will Smith movie coming out based on this? It has teh same name at least.

I'll see what I can do.... now that you describe it that way it seems like I could find the time to read it. But I still don't know for sure. I'll try it out and see how it works.

I believe that there is a new movie of it. My husband (who is a vampire aficionado and has read everything vampire) said there was an old Charlton Heston movie version of I Am Legend that royally sucked. Hopefully, Will Smith can do better.

Charlton Heston? Vampire? Yeah, it must have sucked. Nothing against Chuck, but he's not a vampire-y guy.

I just saw I Am Legend. It had nothing to do with vampires. Only hypervenilating zombie people who can't go in the sun light.And also the person who the movie revolves around goes insane because he thinks he is the last person in the world that isn't infected with this virus thing and he starts talking to cardboard cutouts of people.I thought that was pretty funny. ;p

Well he didn't go insane but he did have a few mental issues. Then again, who wouldn't after about three years of no human contact, and then some canine issues?
And to be clear(even though I know the joke behind the zombie thing, hyperventilating, lol) it was about people who had been infected by the virus thing, which was supposedly a cure for cancer, but ended up backtracking all civilized human behavior and making them aggressive carnivores.
Fairly good movie, but from what has been said, it doesn't seem to match the book very well.
...As for the cardboard cutouts, it was absolutely hilarious when he shot Fred. XD

jiggly
|
I thought that was the best part.lol.
"HOW DID YOU GET OUT HERE?!YOU BETTER NOT BE REAL FRED! YOU BETTER NOT BE REAL BECAUSE I'LL SHOOT YOU!"
he said something like that didn't he?
|

I love that part. Will Smith did a great job. Only he could make essentially a one person movie enjoyable.
|
jiggly
|
I agree. 
|
Sanity-impaired
|
Ditto. He's had a wide variety of roles. Never had a chance to see The Pursuit of Happiness though.
And yep, I think said almost exactly that.
|
jiggly
|
That was definetly the best part
|
Sanity-impaired
|
...Come to think of it, how DID Fred get there? Did the infected peeps move him or... what? I forgot. XD
|
jiggly
|
The infected people moved him to catch the guy in his own trap, or maybe the infected people still had the same itelligance level as a normal human and set the trap themselves.
Not sure 
|
Sanity-impaired
|
...Whatever.
|
jiggly
|
I learned how to say whatever in japanese.
Wow, that was really random, but you saying whatever gave me the perfect chance to say that I did.
|
Sanity-impaired
|
...How do you say it?
|
jiggly
|
‚à‚Ì ‚í ‚ñ‚ ‚ñ ‚Å‚à
|
Sanity-impaired
|
... D: Without the accents, please? A lot of times Japanese words are written in English by using:
a: ah or uh sound or several other ways depending on context
i: ee
e: eh
U: oo
o: several ways
|
jiggly
|
I just gave you the way to say it! 
|
Sanity-impaired
|
Jeez, no need to get defensive, and accents hurt my eyes. >.<
|
jiggly
|
yeah well, sometimes you can be a pain.
|
jiggly
|
like on the tour today, you kept bothering me, you dumb ass! 
|
Sanity-impaired
|
Tsk tsk jiggly, no swearing when referring to other members. (I'm just saying that to further annoy you. XP)
I bother people, it's what I do, and jeez, I didn't bother you as much as I could've though.
|
VRaptorX
|
see...Japanese vowels are
a= ah
i= ee
u= oo
e= aye
o= oh
|
Sanity-impaired
|
Thanks Vrap.
|
jiggly
|
Well you better not do any worse on the next one or I'll carve out your eyes with a rusted spoon and shove them down your pants so you can watch me kick the crap out of you!
|
Sanity-impaired
|
XD Funny threat. But there's also the problem that that would be illegal.
|
jiggly
|
........and your point is.........?
|
Sanity-impaired
|
...idk, I just felt like responding, and if it's illegal then you'll get arrested.
|
jiggly
|
..........and your point iiiiiissss?
|
Sanity-impaired
|
My point is that I don't have a point. 
|
jiggly
|
now you see my delema!
|

 OMG that smiley rocks so much.
|
jiggly
