apparently Will Smith is now a "scientologist"
Now we can look forward to him turning all wierd.

"The Kiss of Death Mistake"
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I doubt he'll ever be as weird as Tom Cruise. Cruise just comes off as a natural weirdo. you have to understand the real incentive for celebrities/rich people to become Scientologists- it's a tax shelter. Then again, Smith does appear to be a rather religious person.spider_007 said:

There is an unauthorized biography of Tom Cruise coming out in a couple of weeks with some dirt. One item in particular is that Tom Cruise had Katie inseminated with L. Ron Hubbard's frozen baby batter as an ode to Scientology.Master Bates said:

I thought Smith's acting was great. He made me overlook a lot of flaws and glitches in the film.
I am interested in the book now from hearing all of you talk about it. Will the book be spoiled since I've seen the movie?

The book has a very different ending from the movie, and overall a different feel. He's just an average joe living in the suburbs and the vampires have a distinctly different presence in the book, you might say. The story is only around 130 pages I think. I'd go so far as to say the movie felt more inspired by the book than it was based on it.

I read Fight Club after watching the movie but the movie to me was a lot better and plus the book was kinda like a less detailed and organized version of the movie. Or maybe it was just not a good book to have translated.
I see the "I am Legend" book on sale at 711 but also do have the same question as another poster in terms of how good the read would be.

I already addressed how different the book is from the movie- enough to make it worth reading and still be a new experience. But I haven't encountered anyone who's read the book and thought the movie was better. The book just has a better story, and a much better ending.
It was such a let down.
The first half had real potential and even though i have not read they book (yet) i got a feeling that it had the opportunity to say something important or relevant about mans experimentation with science.
In the end the director either lost his balls or ran out of money therefore having to rely on bad CGI.
SPOILER
Could have been called 'Ethans legacy' had Will Smith thrown the kid and the hand grenade into the zombies at the end.

I Am Legend's Original Ending:
http://www.firstshowing.net/2008/03/05/must-watch-i-am-legends-original-ending-this-is-amazing/
by Alex Billington:
"For those unaware, let me explain the concept of Richard Matheson's book to help clarify why this original ending was so amazing to finally see. Without spoiling too much (incase you want to read it), the entire purpose of the title I Am Legend is that in the book, Robert Neville actually is the last man on the planet. And he has switched places from our reality of what we perceive as legend, to actually being the legend. As in, vampires are "legendary" to us because they're a myth from fantasy. In the book, Robert Neville is "legendary" because he is that myth and goes out day after day hunting them. With the original theatrical ending, they never actually touched on that idea at all - but when you think about, that's a pretty damn cool concept."

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I actually just started reading the book, and it is very good. I like the 2nd ending there alot better than the one used in the movie... but I don't like that it is a "happy" ending, either. I'm torn on which ending is better, I guess... but the film overal could have been much better in my opinion.
just so suave

Since when did bacon last 3 years in a fridge??
But I loved the film, apart from the ending. Like someone said earlier, it should have ended as the grenade exploded. Wills acting was incredible. It would be interesting to see another actor play it though.
