I am Legend - The ending they should have used.

They did film the obvious other ending and it is a thousand times better. Why they went with the mystical crap nonsense self-sacrifice for no reason escapes me. However, here's what it should have been.

Will Smith, Scientologist?

You know when your cult/religion/scam starts picking off the weaker links of B-list celebs that's one thing. But, when you go for the actually good actors that's just a shame.

Apparently, Will Smith is dabbling in Scientology.

"I was introduced to it by Tom, and I'm a student of world religion. I was raised in a Baptist household. I went to a Catholic school, but the ideas of the Bible are 98% the same ideas of Scientology, 98% the same ideas of Hinduism and Buddhism."

Regardless what beliefs Scientology holds it is absolutely impossible for ANY belief system to share 98% with the Bible and with Buddhism. Such an overlap requires at the very least a 96% overlap between Christianity and Buddhism, any "student of world religion" should know the difference.

If for some reason you aren't well versed in Scientology nonsense Operation Clambake is a fantastically good site.

Will Smith: Good actor, and right about Hitler... for the most part

Will Smith commented that "Hitler was a good person" and is probably going to take some flake for it. Though, from the actual comments he didn't actually say that.

He says, "Even Hitler didn't wake up going, 'Let me do the most evil thing I can do today'.

"I think he woke up in the morning and using a twisted, backwards logic, he set out to do what he thought was 'good'. Stuff like that just needs reprogramming."


Well, yeah, though he was twisted and wanted to kill the Christ-killers and antisemitic hate was pretty much ready and willing for authority to come by and control it, having been left over from the dark ages (when the church controlled everything and everybody believed in God). There was a lot of hate floating around. I don't actually think, and nor does anybody else, that Hitler was trying to do evil.

Hitler wasn't good, but he probably thought he was.
