I prefer this version of the story to both Omega Man and I am Legend.
- Oh, I didn't realize The Omega Man was also based on this book. I'll have to track down a copy somewhere.
  
  Do it! If you like Charlton Heston overacting you're in for a fun treat.
- I knew I'd recognized that Will Smith movie as an old story, I just couldn't place it! Thanks for the reminder.
  
  Yea, Omega Man is a bad 70's-soaked remake, unfortunately.
  
  70's dystopian stuff was typically overly dramatic/melodramatic, and tried to bludgeon you with "look how bad this is", instead of letting it come to you in it's own time/subtle way.
  
  As much as I criticise cinema today, that's one area where a lot has improved (the melodramatic stuff is usually pretty obvious and more avoidable today).
If I seem to be obsessed with vampires lately, sorry. It's a coincidence, I'm sure.
- I'm sure. It is a BIT suspicious that you've lately taken to wearing a scarf and we haven't been out for Italian food in a while.
This one is great, I went through a post-apocalyptic cinema phase myself some years back and devoured everything out at the time.

Of course, it seems like the trove has doubled since then
