Movie time: Frightday Night at the Movies, The Last Man on Earth
Fridays. Frightdays. Oh, I just love them.
If you have been to Kattitudes before on Fridays, you know the sole purpose Fridays serve.
Frightday night. Movie night. Blah blah, dogs, Mister, sofa, takeout, Boogyman du Jour. Creepy bad movies. Illegal in 17 states. If you haven’t heard the shpiel, search Frightday Night and you can read the extended explanation.
With Will Smith’s movie “I am Legend” on the way, I thought it might be very interesting to see the original. Well, that is not quite accurate. Let’s see:
The original was Richard Matheson’s science fiction classic “I am Legend”, later remade as “The Omega Man” starring Charlton Heston. “The Last Man on Earth” starring Vincent Price was in there somewhere, so that makes Will Smith’s upcoming movie …. a remake of a remake of a remake of a scifi story.
Phew. That ought to be interesting. Oh well, I plan on seeing it anyway. It is science fiction, it is Will Smith, and it is a classic story. Sounds good to me.
