I thought this movie was gonna have some kind of Tim Curry demon beast, but I was just confused about what movie they were remaking.

That would have been even more considerably better.

I can’t figure out why they didn’t use this ending.

On the whole that movie was much less of a shit sandwich than I was expecting. Although I’m not sure why you think this ending was better. Is it more faithful to the book or something?

Well, that ending was slightly better? Actually, I think both endings sucked… mostly because the movie was terrible.

What I really want to know is… was the monster mouth-stretching-to-an-unnatural-size really worth not having actors be the bad guys?

That movie was shitty fucking corpse nuts because no one that was chasing Will Smith actually existed… so… in essence… I’m supposed to find Will Smith running from some imaginary thing that would later be digitally added to the film to be scary, or thrilling… NO DEAL.

Would it have been so hard to cast someone as the bad guy? Sure, there was a lot of impossible shit the main character had to do, but CG that part… Why am I watching a CG girl breathing on a slab? Couldn’t we just find a girl and slap a little make up on her? Why am I watching some imaginary un-man stare through the glass at Will Smith? Couldn’t I just as easily watch an actor in make up do that?

WHAT IS THE FUCKING POINT WITH ALL THE CG? This should have been called “I AM STUPID,” because that’s how I felt after finding out I paid ten bucks to see Will Smith act by himself for two hours.

I totally agree that both endings were pretty lousy, especially with the whole forced butterfly bullshit. But this one is way better.

Apparently they had been filming with real people as the vampires, but thought CG would be more effective. Apparently they hadn’t seen 28 Days Later.

Even conceding the movie sucked and both endings were bad, why would you prefer the happy ending to the more negative, downbeat one? Do you all like people living happily ever after in bliss and harmony? What is this a Meg Ryan movie? Does this have something to do with your territorial Philadelphia affection for Will Smith? Because I’m sorry, any ending in which what happens in the ending they used happens is definitely my preferred outcome.
Although I fully agree on that whole anti-CGI thing. God, I hate that shit.

Kev, this ending explains the title a bit better. He’s not a legend in a good way. He’s a mass murderer of people with consciousness. The guy who you thought was the good guy all along as really a bad guy. Sort of. That’s how the book was. This ending eludes to it a bit.

Your mom alludes. To liking it in the butt.

My mom was a member of the 700 Club. Verily she does not take it in the butt. It would make Jesus and the Holy Ghost (Jerry Falwell) sad.

Buttsex is a valid form of birth control! NFP, baby.

Oh really? I didn’t get that at all from it. I mean it makes sense now that you say it. Although if that was the case, then him getting to drive away scott free with his little chippy in tow makes that interpretation/ending lame. If that was the case then they should have killed him for his crimes against their people.

The movie ending was way better.

This one was weird how the CG zombies just all the sudden got quiet and stopped trying to eat Will Smith. I didn’t buy it. They’re CG zombies. Everyone knows all CG zombies want to do is eat Will Smith’s.

I liked the sad ending better. It was more satisfying.
