It had some good stuff in it as a film in its own right but as an adaptation of Richard Matheson's classic it was a failure.

The problem wasn't acting at all, the movie just missed the whole point of the book.

Yeah, it was like the screenwriter flipped through a comic adaptation of the story and saw a lot of words on the last page and called it there. I've got the gist of it.

Heston's was the closest. It's such a short story and they still have never nailed it

Madness.

The version with Vincent Price is by far the most faithful but Omega Man is more fun.

Will Smith Called Party He Threw for Jada His 'Low Point'

Will Smith was told that the big surprise he planned for Jada Pinkett Smith's 40th birthday party was the "most disgusting display of ego" she'd ever seen.

The "Low Point" in the Smith Marriage​

During an episode of Red Table Talk, first broadcast on October 29, 2018, Smith opened up to the family about his "low point" which happened to coincide with Pinkett Smith's 40th birthday.

He spent three years planning a documentary for her to show at her birthday, detailing her family history, featuring hidden tapes of her grandmother, and he also tracked down a descendant of the white family who once owned Pinkett Smith's ancestors. He also got Mary J. Blige to perform at the event, and Smith described himself looking at Pinkett Smith like "the little boy that wants mommy to say everything was wonderful," but he didn't realize she was having a "really difficult emotional time."

Eventually they got back to their room with Willow there too. Smith discussed the moment in Red Table Talk but went into further detail in his memoir Will. Smith recalled she told him: "That was the most disgusting display of ego I have ever seen in my life."
Pinkett Smith and Smith began fighting so loudly that 10-year-old Willow emerged crying with her hands over her ears begging them to stop. A letter Willow supposedly wrote as a child recently reemerged, addressed to Tupac Shakur, to come back to make her "mommy happy."
After the incident, he explained on Red Table Talk how he was "crushed" and that to this day he knows he was crushed, "because it was true."

Within the memoir, Will, Smith wrote: "Our marriage wasn't working. We could no longer pretend. We were both miserable and clearly something had to change."

Smith detailed what changed in his marriage after this point during an interview with GQ in November 2021. After discussing his marriage to Pinkett Smith in his book, Smith said: "Jada never believed in conventional marriage.... Jada had family members that had an unconventional relationship. So she grew up in a way that was very different than how I grew up.

"Marriage for us can't be a prison. And I don't suggest our road for anybody. I don't suggest this road for anybody. But the experiences that the freedoms that we've given one another and the unconditional support, to me, is the highest definition of love."

after pasting that article i off and on thought about that all evening. i was like, what was the point of that? are they supposed to show up at the party and say, "sorry a relative i never met used a relative you never met as farm equipment?" or "um, can i get a refund?" fucking joggers.

Going through Smith's filmography, I think I have seen 12 out of the 36 movies he acted in. The best one I have seen is without a doubt Six Degrees of Separation followed by... Ali ?
