I had commented about this movie in pktaxwench‘s LJ, but this particular flick really snuck up on me. It’s called I Am Legend. It’s based off of a book by Richard Matheson.

Richard Matheson is somewhat of a hero to me. He’s authored a lot of contemporary science fiction, and a number in particular became Twilight Zone episodes (in both the original series and the relaunches since)–which happens to be one of my favorite SciFi shows of all time. He wrote episodes like “Third from the Sun”, “Nick of Time”, “The Invaders” and a whole bunch of others. He was the most adapted author on that TV series. Outside of Serling, he pretty much was The Twilight Zone.

Others of his works that have become modern flicks have are What Dreams May Come, Somewhere in Time, and Stir of Echoes.

The particular story of I Am Legend was most notably done in cinema in the 70s under the title of The Omega Man. It was supposedly a loose interpretation of the book, but that seems to have been the case with a lot of 60s-70s stories. Planet of the Apes, for instance, bears little resemblance to the book outside of the basic plot of a planet being populated by very smart apes and “dumb” humans. Of course, that movie is a bit more of a classic flick than The Omega Man.

Anyhoo, needless to say I can’t wait for this movie. I haven’t read the book yet, and I plan on doing that before this particular piece of cinema comes out. It comes out around Christmas, so I have a bit of time. Of course, as always, that time will sneak up on me. Why is it that time seems to pass quicker the older you get? 😛 lol.

So, David Hewlett has made a flick that I think I’m totally going to have to see.

A Dog’s Breakfast

It does, indeed, look frightfully funny. It has a whole bunch of SG people, including Dr. Beckett, Teal’c and Teyla. His sister also makes an appearance, who I think actually made a cameo on Atlantis, too, as his sister (ironic, eh?). I think I shall most certainly have to get this one. It looks like it’s on iTunes.

So, this weekend was pretty cool. I got caught up on questing for my now 63 mage in WoW. Ruthie and I played some of the WoW card game Friday and Saturday nights. I’m really getting addicted to that game, perhaps even more so than the MMO itself! Hehe.

Cubbies have won a bunch, and are now 1 game above .500 going into the All-Star break. As always, what matters most is that they’re ahead of the Cardinals 😛

And now for some laundering. Excitement.

So, am I more of a geek or a freak that my dream the night before last was an alternate plot to Star Trek III: The Search for Spock?

Happy Independence Day! 🙂

Transformers rocked.

Do you want to know more?

Rain! Praise da Lord. hehe 🙂

So, I came upon this from /.

iPhone not supported under 64-bit Windows XP or Vista

Pretty dumb, I think, since all Windows versions henceforth will supposedly be 64-bit. 2/3 of my computers are 64-bit processors. Of course, right now I’m running 32-bit Vista on those computers because of all of that driver signing crap.

I think eventually, though, it will be supported. Perhaps they just felt they had to get it out there…Windows being an afterthought, of course, next to OS X.

Why is it so important for a woman to choose abortion?

I know why I think it’s wrong, I’m mainly curious to know why people think it’s the right choice.
