I don't think you can search back through missed TV programs.
 
It should show the movies though.

Just set up a dummy hotmail if you're worried  

Does that require a client program, or does it run through a flash applet (or something like it)?

I Am Legend is pretty generically terribad. I would definitely take Cloverfield over it.

lies.

It missed its own point so badly that it couldn't even make sense of its own title.

It was still a good movie.

It had a good opening, but beyond that it was tissue paper. It lives on in the I, Robot school of insubstantial adaptations of good stories.

[Scotty]

See, there's your problem.  Stop thinking of it as an adaptation and more of it's own movie with a little creative help for the setting.

[General Battuta]

But the story shows what could be done with the setting, including an amazing ending, which I Am Legend...really did not have.

[Wobble73]

It made a good movie for those who had never read the book.

[General Battuta]

No it didn't. I didn't read the story until after the movie.

[Wobble73]

Books are always better than their movie adaptations! I read Jurassic Park before seeing the movie and although the movie was a spectacle, it never could live up to the book.

It runs in the browser via flash or applet magics.
 
 
I am legend started well. Then it floundred and choked on it's own sense of self indulgence.
 
Cloverfield is consistently WOW.

[Wobble73]

How would you describe it to someone,

Spoiler:

I told someone today that it's Blair Witch meets War of the Worlds meets Godzilla

[Colonol Dekker]

That's pretty accurate.
 
By the way. I happened to look for the "satellite scene" on youtube today. At normal speed I just about missed it. I'm gonna check on telly tonight to make sure i'm not going blind.

I Am Legend movie was pretty good, but the book was infinitely superior.

Same with Jurassic Park, though that wasn't hard, it still made a good movie!

[Scourge of Ages]

Speaking of Jurassic Park, did anybody else see Timeline?

Spoiler:

Don't do it, just read the book.

Oh man, I never caught it myself but heard about it afterward.  Thanks for the indirect reminder to look for it.

[Colonol Dekker]

Whoop. It's on ANY SECOND.
 
I do own it on dvd but not watched it in ages.
 
 
The satellite is the last scene. Watch the top right of the screen.

Two words: Dan Brown. Probably Stephanie Meyers as well. And I'd probably think Crichton's movies are better than his books, as I didn't rate those books of his I read.

[Nuclear1]

I Am Legend's alternate ending was by far better than the one that made it in the movie.  For the most part I liked the movie but...

Spoiler:

I actually had to stop the movie and cry a little bit when he had to kill Sam

Cloverfield was just straight awesome the whole way through. 

Spoiler:

The entire underground sequence was great...the bugs and the flaming hobo bit too.

Still convinced that the monster was just after that camera...I mean, it held up to so much in that movie, he just wanted a nice quality video camera!

[Ransom]

The I Am Legend adaptation always amazed me. The theatrical ending was so carelessly shoehorned in that they didn't even bother to remove the contradictory foreshadowing from the rest of the film.

I know. All that buildup about their intelligence and their society and the male wanting his female back and...

...uh...
