I Am Legend, the one with Will Smith.
Oh, the one where Hollywood ripped out the ending that explains the goddamn title.
Yeah...yeah. I think that was when I lost all faith in Hollywood to adapt anything without shitting all over it. It's gotten better with some recent stuff (Dune, for instance), but if I ever have to watch anything that is based on a property that I like, I try to go in with my expectations at absolute fucking bedrock.
Also, this is a reasonable time to mention one of my favorite heavy bands of all time, He Is Legend. They take their name from the Matheson book, and their biggest "hit" is called "I Am Hollywood," so your comment just made me flash back to the late 2000's metalcore scene.
