I am Legend starring Will Smith. Will Smith takes his shirt off and shoots zombies. Or vampires. Bill Crider re-read the novel and had a few things to say about it. But, why should I listen to some some weird Texas stranger spout off about things? I've had a weird Texan to deal with all my life. From now I will employ independent thought and not act as Crider's slavish monkey.
