Move to San Francisco and you can have Lucimay and me and Sorus and Bloodguard Bob to go to the movies with!

NYC has water gravity fed from the Catskills, and there's a scene in the film showing Will's array of generators.

Rented the Omega Man over the weekend for a comparison. There are of course similar themes but one thing in particular seemed to help matters with IAL. In Omega Man the mutant survivors are of course light sensitive however their only other odd trait seems to be fanatical fundamentalism. They didn't seem overtly irrational they seemed more like a religious cult and nothing more. I prefer the mutants as they were presented in the newer film.
One thing I will say about Heston's Nevel is that because his antagonists are intelligent, conversive people the character gets the opportunity to throw out some memorable one-liners.

When I first heard that the wise-cracking Will Smith was cast as the main role in this movie, I was outraged and disgusted...the fact is though, his performance was pretty damn fantastic IMO.
I enjoyed this movie a Hell of lot more than I thought, so much so, that I bought the special edition DVD with the alternative ending.
Oh and the guy asking about the Vincent Price version (last man on Earth). It's an ok movie....ok enough for me to add to my "post apocalypse/zombie" DVD collection anyways.

Here's a few pix of the Ashokan Reservoir. Which, I believe, is the largest reservoir feeding NYC. At least a half dozen towns were submerged when they build the damn to make it back in, iirc, the 1950's.dlbpharmd wrote:I missed that scene, and never knew that about NYC.Cail wrote:NYC has water gravity fed from the Catskills, and there's a scene in the film showing Will's array of generators.
Either the links are not working, or I can't view these pix from the really stupid computer I'm on right now. I'll fix it later if it needs fixing.

You were just looking for an excuse to post pictures of yourself.
