I Am Legend Takes Over Downtown

2007_01_iamcivil.jpg

The end of the world as the producers of I Am Legend know it has arrived. The film started work on an elaborate "escape from New York" scene that involves thousands of extras, as well as tanks and helicopters. Many people went down to check out the scene in the cold,

The Black Hawk helicopter was docked near the Brooklyn Bridge and huge klieg lights were shining onto the bridge. And since some bloggers seemed to become unintentional extras, Gothamist is relieved to know that when zombies come for us, tons of photobloggers will be on the scene!

1010WINS's Steve Kastenbaum took this photograph of Will Smith's crazy, pimpin' motor home. We did a little research and Anderson Mobile Estates designed the 2-story 1,100 square foot beast.

I am legend, but I am also incredibly untalented.

He, however, is the DJ.

God, did the screenwriter, writer, and producer even read the book? It looks nothing like it. Why even call it, "I am Legend" if it has absolutely no similarities whatsoever!

Have they closed the Brooklyn Bridge for this? Or can we still use it?

I'm still trying to grasp the fact that that trailer is three times the size of my apartment.

If author Richard Matheson were dead, he'd be spinning fast enough to put ConEd out of business. As it is, he's alive and (God willing) getting paid nicely for what this piece of crap movie is doing to his novella. Read the book, people.

Your tax dollars make Will Smith's motorhome possible. Think about that when you fork over another $11 to see this piece of crap movie.

Well it proves they cannot come up with original ideas for movies anymore. The 1971 Charleton "From my cold dead hand!" Heston as The Omega Man.

- they all wrote, and then months later waited in line for 45 minutes one hot August night to pay to see the finished product.

And the a/c cut out halfway through the film. Roll credits.

This movie will be an even bigger blockbuster then Wild Wild West!

Exclusive inside information obtained into the lyrics of the soon to be hit song from the movie I Am Legend, by Will Smith !

Uhh..
Wicki- I Am I Am
Wicki-wicki- I Am
Wicki- I Am
Wicki-wicki I Am Legend
I Am Legend, desperado
Rough rider, no you don't want nada
None of this, six-gunnin this, brother runnin this
Buffalo soldier, look it's like I told ya
Any damsel that's in distress
be outta that dress when she meet I Am Legend
Rough neck so go check the law and abide
Watch your step or flex and get a hole in your side
Swallow your pride, don't let your lip react
You don't wanna see my hand where my hip be at
With Artemis, from the start of this, runnin the game
I Am Legend, tamin the Legend, so remember the name
] Now who ya gonna call?
Not the G.B.'s
Now who you gonna call?
G double A.G.


If you ever riff with either one of us
BREAK OUT, before you get bumrushed, at the

I Am Legend (when I roll into the)
I Am Legend (when I stroll into the)
I Am Legend (when I bounce into the)
I Am Legend (sisqo, sisqo)

I Am Legend (we're goin straight, to)
I Am Legend (I Am Legend )
I Am Legend (we're goin straight to the Wild Wild c'mon)
