Saucy. I tried to watch the video and here's what I got: It's funny that you should mention Resident Evil. I was just going through them all recently and I guess there's a fifth movie out in the autumn. But so far, my fave has been the first one. Off the top of my head, my overall favorite sci-fi movies are the Terminator series (all of them, incl TV's Sarah Connor Chronicles) and the Matrix series (especially the first one). Honourable mention has to go to Highlander but it does suffer badly from '80s contamination... That's a movie overdue for a re-make. How about Christian Bale as Connor McLeod? And Sean Connery can still be Ramirez. So there.

Yeah! I wonder how Michelle Rodriguez comes back. Of course I have to know what happens because the last thing I know is that the ship is being attacked and then the bleedin' film is over and I have to eventually go to the kitchen and wash dishes so Mrs. A. can dry and stack.
Oh yeah also. We were both rather irritated when the network cancelled the Sarah Connor Chronicles at that point. Cam's chip was gone along with Mr. Smith. So who's side is he on? And the lovely T-1000 Ms. Manson, what's her angle in all this wanting to help the humans, (that was a plot twist). And what was going to result from them going into the future. There's some rather important missing details between the last episode and the beginning of the third movie.
And as you pointed out, it had Summer in it. With the Sarah Connor Chronicles, you could have Summer all year round!

Good points on everything you said on Sarah Conner So, What do you think: I Am Legend The Omega Man or; I Am Legend (The book) Good question . Now as you know Ive been a fan of Sci Fi forever and I have seen Omega ( on my shelf ..) many times as a kid and it was a classic but it has dated badley I Am Legend .(on the shelf as well) Loved it and I`m not even a fan of Mr W.Smith to be honest . Check out my I Am Kite story on the link thingy . betterthantv.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=story&action=display&thread=28I think it`s very funny , I know I`m modest ! As for the book . Not read it , which is a shame as I guess the films don`t do it justice . Another classic Sci Fi film remade The Day The Earth Stood Still . Yeh , maybe the special effects are great and it has a more enviroment nod to it . But hey , as good as the brilliant original ? No way Mr Carpenter . And does any know about the J.C Links to it ? Klaatu Barada Nikto !

"I Am Legend" the book, is just a short story. It takes up less than half of the novel and is followed by a bunch of even shorter stories.
The ending is completely different to either movie. I won't tell you, in case you get the paperback. It's well worth reading and the other short stories are pretty strange and might appeal to your love of all things unusual. Heck, it might even be right up your alley (up your pavement).
I guess your time trip back to '08 was successful because the world is still operating normally, innit. The zombies are still contained and I still get colds.

I will look it up , The book ,Short Story , I Am Legend Thanks for reading I Am Kite . I just wish I had learnt English a bit at School now as my err. Real Writing is`nt the best , I know . Another classic re make came to mind today The Thing Which was a remake of the classic It Came From Outer Space . I went to the new version of The Thing last year . It wasn`t much different from the Thing Which was strange as it was meant to a Prequal Watched In Time last night . It was an ok Sci Fi film I guess they aimed for teenage audiences for a easy Pound( Buck ) And with Mr Timberlake at the helm I think they would have got it. Shame they can`t spend a bit more time (!) on the film and they may have ended up with a better film . Like the brilliant Limitless . Now that was a great film Edit Bit . I have just got I Am Legend for my Kindle .

I love Douglas Adams. But I didn't know they were doing a TV adaptation of Dirk Gently.
The Hitch-hiker's series of books, I've read dozens of time since I discovered the TV show on PBS in maybe '80 or '81. Of course, after having read the books a few times, it was hard to ever watch the series again. But I have the original Radio series on CD. I picked it up at Tower Records in Picadilly. in '88.
I thought that Salmon Of Doubt had so much promise after I read the rough notes in the book, that I felt really bad that he didn't finish it. He also talked about a 6th book for Hitchhiker's because Mostly Harmless was kind of a bleak story. Very Dark in comparison to the other books.
And RED DWARF is very Different in writing style. "Grant Naylor"'s style of humour, I found very different to Douglas Adam's Humour.

Oh dear, is it Kochansky vs. Scully Mr Kite?
In Red Dwarf's case, I like the TV show better than the books. Ace: "Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast"
Or Arnold: "Stoke me a clipper, I'll be back for Christmas"

Yes.
I just watched "Evolution". A very silly movie and especially so because of Duchovny's (At The Time) recent involvement in a serious sci-fi TV show.
I had a laugh. Like. I had to set my drink down in some parts. Mrs. A didn't find it as funny.
