I've met Will, he is a pretty nice guy in person. Now, Tommy Lee Jones is an asshole. I was on the set with him for 3 days and his attitude stunk the whole time.

Um, he's in Manahattan, which has major rivers to the east and west. Without all the people upstream dumping crap in the rivers they should be pretty clean in a matter of weeks. In the meantime, you can always boil your water... They are not zombies, but virus induced quasi-vampires |

USS Intrepid (Aircraft carrier deployed in WWII, Korea and Vietnam & NASA recovery) Museum, in NYC on/in the Hudson River near-ish the Chelsea Docks. Its a pretty cool museum, its currently in NJ in dry dock/getting a work over. Should be back in berth in a few months. They also have an F-14, a bunch of 50's vintage Grumman jets, and a concord on a barge right next to the tin can which is next to the Fighting I. |

What do you plan to use for fuel? What if the bad guys key on your fire? How you gonna get water to a safe place to heat it? The rivers are still polluted from the industrial waste and all the wild animals running loose; drinking that would nail the coffing shut sooner than necessary. I'm thinking a low profile in a locale with a mild temperature and favorable conditions for keeping yourself fed is a better method. Keep your eyes out for a female survivor, and in the mean time live out your life as best you can alone. |

And...morelikely they took the A-3 off because it's being restored, not because they didn't want it in the movie. The A-12 has been on the deck of the ship since the museum as far as I know...

I suggest that you read the book. All of your questions are answered. The vampires go into a sort of coma during the day, so he can go wherever he wants to go in the city, gathering food, BOTTLED WATER, and whatever else he needs to survive. He gets fuel from gas stations, and also has some stored in drums. In the book, Neville has fortified his house and rigged up a generator for power. If you were the only man left on earth, and the plague took people over so quickly that they didn't worry about things like water, food, and fuel, there would be plenty of supplies in a place as big as New York City. |

Alright....
I've never read the book, so please tell me if I'm way off base here. The basic plot is: Some sort of horrific infection/virus/zombie creatures/etc sweep through the planet. Ordinary guy is minding his own business when the badness hits. Ordinary guy somehow miraculously becomes the lone survivor of the fate that befalls the rest of humanity at least in the greater NYC area. (I would assume this includes Scarsdale, right?) Guy must now find a way to survive in this brave new world. The film follows our intrepid hero as he learns how to fight and survive and perhaps encounters some other survivors and they begin to rebuild the human race..... Am I close? |

In Vincent Price's Last Man On Earth and Omega Man, the "vampires" are not dumb, shambling creatures. Why wouldn't they work on destroying all food, water, fuel, etc. near Neville's fortress? In the I Am Legend trailer, we see Smith getting corn. Easy target... one fine night, burn down the cornfield. Also, bottled water and canned food are only good for so long. Seeing as how the "zombies" aren't an industrialized society (even with lots of technology lying around for the picking), I'd be thinking road trip... rather than stay in one spot, and have a group of zombies know and hate me and plot to kill me, keep moving... keep my head down, try to avoid stirring up the natives, etc while I look for other survivors. |

I am disturbed and angered by the trend in Hollywood to start killing the dog characters. It used to be verbotten to kill the dog character, but now a days.... I hope he kills a couple hundred for killing his dog. I had hoped they named the dog Caesar in honor of the Omega Man, but apparently the Dog is named Sam. |

Read the book. The vampires are mildly intelligent. They aren't as smart as they were when they were human, but they aren't zombies either. Their main goal is finding fresh blood, not to destroy Neville. If they starve him and he dies inside his fortified home, they would never get to him. They are more interested in drawing him outside at night than killing him. He wonders, in the book, why they haven't tried to burn his house down but figures that they don't like fire. If you take a road trip, what are you gonna do when the sun goes down? Easy answer... you would die. You're right, bottled water and canned food are only good for so long, but the time frame of the story was only 3 years. |

Exactly, nothing wrong with YHM. They are weapons parts intended for real weapons. Just targeting the lower cost end of the market, and you trade off cost for weight of their rails. Otherwise great gear. |

I liked Will Smith in I Robot. I liked him in Independence Day. Maybe it is because I to make sarcastic comments all the time. I realize that movies are based on, not strict screen adaptations of the books they come from. Thus a little interpretation and leeway is acceptable. Why the hell would you want to watch the EXACT same movie as The Omega Man or the Original Boris Karloff version anyway?  If you want to see those version, buy them off Amazon.com and be done with it

Explosives tied to trip wires or booby traps. Sleep in the tub to survive the blast because you are not smart enough to take up shop inside a federal reserve bank vault. (every major U.S. city has one)

Thanks for the link. I got through the 3rd part then I realized Vincint Price is alive not due to his part, but due to the incompetance of the Zombies. His plan is for failure.  I liked Omega Man much better. Heston had a better plan IMHO.

Naw, I'm just skeptical that NYC would be in my top 10000 or so choices of places on the planet to survive after a catastrophe. It's cold in the winter, hot in the summer, and everything is either made out of concrete or covered in concrete, so it's too big or too heavy for me to manipulate. All I know about the movie is from the ads. There are deer in the city, and apparently the lions escaped the zoo and are doing well. Also, there's a dummy standing in the street in one scene that gets mowed down by our beloved M-16. "Tax this, dummy!" |

One piece of the story you can see in the theatrical trailers was the fact that they were trying to quarantine Manhattan. They show aircraft flying over taking out the bridges and there was talk about boats. |

Just go out and read the book.
The book was written in the 50's and it is set in 1976. In the book he was bitten by a bat and that is why he survived the plague. |

I disliked Ole Yeller. Dumbass kid, if he could sing an ax wouldn't have hit his dog. Thus if he would have killed the wildcat, Yeller wouldn't have gotten rabbies. Why didn't Yeller have a rabies vaccine in the first place. Fucking Disney ruining my childhood! |

If the lead was going to be African American then Jamie Lee Fox or Denzel Washington would have been better choices. I can't believe the lead for this movie has a resume filled with Wild, Wild West, MIB I & II, Inependence Day, I, Robot and Bad Boys I & II I'm tired of this thread, I think I'm gonna go put on my "vintage 2004" converse, grab the keys to my Audi and grab a six pack of Dos Equis. |
