>modern media
Gross lol

Pretty relevant if i do say so myself user

It's I Am Legend: non-retarded edition. Kind of ironic that they changed the name for the Vincent Price version, but kept the book name for the Will Smith version where it doesn't make any sense.

is this the one where they're in a submarine

Hopefully we get another remake in our lifetime that has Robert Neville being seduced by sexy vampire harlets.

They actually call Vincent Price "a legend" in the movie's dialogue, funny enough

hop in and see for yourself user.

>is this the one where they're in a submarine
No, that's On The Beach

This is one where you get to see people rioting because all the water is running out and the earth is drifting toward the sun

Movie's getting good

Come watch it with us bros

Up next is The Omega Man (1971) starring Charlton Heston

HEAR YE HEAR YE IT'S THE END OF DAYS HOP INTO YOUR NEAREST COMFY ZONE AND WATCH APOCALYPTIC KINO.

The Omega Man is great for the type of movie that it is. It's also my favorite version of Richard Matheson's novel I Am Legend. Vincent Price's Last Man on Earth is closest to the books tone but feels cheap and uninspired. Will Smith royally fucked what could have been a masterpiece by using rubbery CGI monsters. I'm not even going to mention Shrek. Back to the book, I never liked the fact that Matheson called the creatures vampires. Using the word "vampire" always seemed to narrow what the book was about and cheapen it. It's a study of loneliness, of one society replacing another and of a man realizing that he himself had become a monster.

Anywho, I like the changes made in Omega Man, dig it's funky 70's vibe and prefer it over Planet of the Apes and Onions Green. I like that the mutants were anti-technology. It also made the logical choice of having Neville arm himself with guns instead of wandering around and staking people with wood, which I always thought was one of the stupid things about the novel. Rosalind Cash was also hot as fuck in the movie and it was quite daring, for the time, to feature an interracial romance as they did between her and Heston. But what I liked most about The Omega Man was the overwhelming sense of melancholy and sadness that hangs over the movie.

A few interesting factoids about the flick; Director Boris Sagal, who also Directed episodes of the original Twilight Zone, was the Father of Katey Sagal, yes, Peggy Bundy herself. He was partially decapitated on the set on a TV mini-series called World War 3 when he walked into the tail rotor of a helicopter.

In closing it's the mood and atmosphere of The Omega Man that sticks with me the most, enhanced by the playful yet somber score by Ron Grainer, who also created the original theme for Doctor Who, and I think it's very beautiful. Here it is.... m.youtube.com/watch?v=mZKF1EAMJWg

Yeah its always confused me how he would stake rather than use slugs in a shotgun. I believe the excuse in the novel is that the germ reacts to oxygen and rapidly hardens making pistol wounds and shotgun shrapnel less dangerous but a stake seemingly opened up the chest cavity enough where oxygen hits the organs. I really do think the story should steer away from the hard vampire angle in the next adaptation and focus more in on Robert Neville and just his day to day killing monsters that are clearly hiding themselves in intelligent crawlspaces, hiding from him in the day the same way he hides from them at night.

this something all of Yas Forums could benefit from

There's a line in the movie where he says the stakes keep the wound open far enough that they can't heal it
