I am Legend
I Am Legend is terrible. It's barely a shadow of the book.
Why is it that Hollywood decides to (re)make a movie version of a sci-fi/horror classic, and then removes pretty much every basic principle set forth in the original story?
Also, (and I know this is insane coming from a Star Wars fan, but) LESS UNNECESSARY GGI, PLEASE.

Sorry, I'm still going to see it. But, I am also going to see Juno next week.
I'm going to see "Walk Hard" Thursday night. My expectations are really low. I've seen the Beatles clip and (naturally) didn't think it was funny but I did enjoy Dewey Cox's "protest Dylan" song, "Dear Mr. President":
"I stand for the midget..."
I also loved the "plugged in" Dylan parody, "Royal Jelly":
"Mailboxs drip like lamp posts...."
The Jack White/Elvis bit was pretty good, too.

how could you like the book/story & totally change the essence?
edward scissorhands was a classic masterpiece, yet rogert ebert gave it a huge thumbs down and called it shite when it came out. go see films, read books, and judge for yourself. quit listening to others who need something to talk about.
Hmmm, seven critics all liked it. http://www.metacritic.com/film/titles/sweeneytodd
Who am I going to trust more, people who get paid to sit through every single movie imaginable and who thus likely have a good point of comparison, or someone who calls himself Marty666?

As for Sweeny Todd - It's Johnny Depp singing, what were you expecting? The only thing worse than his singing is his attempt at an English accent….and I think Johnny Depp is one of Hollywoods more talented actors so not slagging him off.

I'll make my own decision about the movie after I see it.
I Am Legend was bleck.
The best part was seeing this:

Probably too much info but here it goes…
My wife chose to breastfeed exclusively (no bottle, no formula). Our daughter is a voracious eater. Could she go two or three hours without food in the company of just dad? Probably, but my wife would be so worried about it that she probably wouldn't enjoy the movie. Plus, she's not a go to the movies by herself type of person. Part of the pleasure for her is my company, if you can believe that. She does go running and leaves the baby with me, but that's for a shorter period of time.
I'm not lactating, so my presence isn't as crucial. Thus, I'm allowed to go to shows on my own (or with friends), but not movies.

Of course I spend a lot of time with the family, but if one of us wants to do something no biggie.
It was actually easier the first year. My wife breast fed but also pumped, so if she was gone i could feed.
Infants are a piece of cake to take care of though, except for the sleeping issues, having to wake up with them for feeding etc.
Much harder staying home alone with a couple toddlers or pre-schoolers. That's when shit gets nuts. It's fun though. They're a riot most of the time.
I give parenthood 2 big thumbs up. But your life is definately not all yours anymore.

That can be solved by having the baby share the bed or in a cosleeper attached to the bed on mom's side.
The part about the toddler acting nuts…well I'm hoping that having only one will help, and the fact that she's a girl will help, and keeping her away from too much sugar and other shit foods will help…but probably won't.
