he can spell if he wants to. he's not a moron. but unfortunately this is the effect internet has on kids these days. i look at the teens in my country and they are all spelling abominations because of the damn messenger they use daily. for crying out loud i even heard people saying lol in real life. what's wrong with a good old fashioned smile? is lol considered cool? if my wife tells me a joke i don't say lol i smile or laugh out loud not lol :lol:

If my wife tells a joke, it takes me a while to work out that she's not reprimanding me for some minor misdemeanor...

Yeah I did think about that...

Two options....

SOUTH AMERICA + AFRICA + OCEANIA = SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE

Or NORTH AMERICA + SOUTH AMERICA = AMERICAS
and AFRICA + OCEANIA = AFRICA & OCEANIA

so Civil War is a region, and it's in the USA and so goes under USA. San Francisco Bay is a region, and it's in the USA yet it goes under... regions?

oh come on, what did you like about it? aside from the nice special effects?
it's the typical bullshit story filled with all the stupid cliches most hollywood movies have. i love the idea of a virus killing 99% of humanity but i want it put into action in a nice way not the same good guy finds cure fights monsters saves the world but dies at the end.
i want something like stephen king's the stand.

In the Book it turns out the monsters are sentient and to them he's the monster, they eventually capture him, put him on trial and convict him. The main character in the book realizes that humanity as he knew it now is just Legend and kills himself in his cell.

The main difference between Robert Nevell in the book and in the movie is that in the book part of his daily routine was killing the infected while they were sleeping and vulnerable, in addition to the whole capturing them and experimenting on them thing.

Wow is this off topic. I'm actually more partial to Yeti's list then mine, although i don't think Artic is whole world, and I'm back to thinking Duck and Cover isn't either.

i enjoyed both the book and film athough the end of the film remined me of a Kevin Costneresque bad ending (postman, waterworld)

Yeti's list is far more impressive (back on topic)
