Funnier, IMO, surpisingly. Grittier. I really needed a bath after seeing it. And don't feel badly about missing it. It aired at 1:30 in the morn.

It was on TCM during Hallowe'en week. Not bad, really, but I didn't see it from the start, so I came out thrown by the ending. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'll check it out because i'm a sucker for scifi films. Tired of Will Smith getting so many "blockbuster" roles, but won't keep me from seeing it. I'm curious as to how it will compare to Charleton Heston's "The Omega Man", which I enjoyed. I'm *really* curious to see if, given modern studios' desires to give the people what they want, and Will Smith's popularity, the movie will end the same way as the book and the previous two movies? Speaking of movies, i've never seen the Vincent Price version, "The Last Man on Earth". I found a quick synopsis below. Evidently book author Matheson didn't like this one. Anyone ever seen it? *********************** http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Man_on_Earth_%281964_film%29 The Last Man on Earth (originally titled L'Ultimo uomo della Terra) is a 1964 film based upon the Richard Matheson novel I Am Legend. The film was directed by Ubaldo Ragona and Sidney Salkow, and starred Vincent Price. The script was written in part by Matheson, but he was dissatisfied with the result and was therefore credited as "Logan Swanson". William Leicester, Furio M. Monetti, and Ubaldo Ragona were the other writers. It was originally filmed in Italy, and was later released theatrically in the United States by American International Pictures in. It has since fallen into the public domain. MGM Home Video, the current owners of the AIP film catalog released a digitally remastered widescreen print in September 2005. -------------- Original message -------------- From: "Tracey de Morsella (formerly Tracey L.
