Remember the opening scene of I Am Legend?

Genocide? That's hilarious!

I figured COVID would have cause us to descend into Children Of Men levels of depravity and civil unrest. Seattle seems to be in the lead, so far.

With Will Smith? I think it was an anti-gay vaccine.

Omg op I was about to post the EXACT same thread.

I read this thread on Yahoo just about 10 minutes ago, and the first thing that popped into my head is "I Am Legend."

Weird, how we had the same thought.

Typical American movie - very sporty, expensive car going very fast, knocking down things etc. Ruined the somber mood of the movie.

Also Thunder Dome, and The Road. There’s a whole genre.

R1, op was just recalling (as I did) the scene with Emma Thompson at the beginning of I Am Legend.

She is a doctor/scientist who was so proud of herself, proclaiming that she has "cured cancer."

Fast forward three years later, five billion people are dead and the rest have turned into monsters.

It's a real fear.

R5 agreed. I don't understand why he was driving so fast through a city in that condition? Just made him look like an idiot.

Emma was smug. Self-satisfied.

This is a remake of Carlton Heston’s “The Omega Man”, btw.

In that era, there were lots of “end of the world” movies, like planet of the apes, silent running, soilent green, 2001 Space Odyssey, and so forth.

[quote] Emma was smug. Self-satisfied.

Not unlike the Pfizer vaccine scientists, who haven't even allowed a year of testing their unproven vaccine.

As well as "Mame" with Lucille Ball, R10

“Giants lose to Patriots for second time this season 22 to 7” in the crawl at the bottom of the screen. Someone was having fun there.

OP watching that horrible trash movie will either turn you into a zombie - or confirm you already are one.

I remember the opening scene as being played by Natasha Richardson, but she was long-dead by then.

What if it turns guys into 7 foot hotties?

7 foot is a bit too freaky for me. It always makes me think of a story I read as a kid about a family on a Welsh farm being terrorised by a 7 foot tall spaceman who wandered around outside the house at night, peering in through the windows.

And of course we learn that all of that is on video tape recordings from before.

Imagine who’d think you'd have to consider whether seeing loved ones for a holiday might kill them, or you.

I keep thinking about World War Z . . . :)
