Saw I Am Legend last night.
1) How did the chick who saves Will Smith's life get onto Manhattan island with her car, when the bridges were bombed out?
2) No one who would know ever said that the little boy was immune to the zombie virus.
3) There's a terrifying scene where the zombie's zombie dogs are attacking Will Smith and his dog, Sam. Sam valiently fights off one of the zombie dogs, saving Will Smith's life, but is badly injured and probably infected. Will hurries to Sam's side and says, "Come on, Samantha, girl, it's going to be okay," or something to that effect. This is the first time you realize you were wrong in assuming Sam was a boy, and it makes the whole Sam-fighting-off-a-zombie-dog-to-save-Will-Smith-at-the-expense-of-her-own-life suddenly more poignant. Why? What the hell is going on? I think I'm just being sexist and believing that it's worse for a girl to die than a boy. Boys have to die in hero movies anyway. But the fact that they implied Sam was a boy, then revealed, at her death, that she was a girl, means they expect the majority of their audience to react the way I did. Why are we all so sexist?
4) God at every turn.
5) If the zombies could track a trail of blood back to his house, why would he be interested in killing a deer and dragging it home to cook? Maybe he was only hunting for the fun of it.
