Out of Control

By Jimmy Johnson

Buy the new book, "Beaucoup Arlo & Janis!"Today's "Arlo & Janis!"

And that was 13 years ago! I’m sorry to have been away so long. Between the rain and the holidays, the routine around here was knocked into a cocked hat last week. I don’t have a lot of time today, either, but I thought I’d better get things moving again. This comic from 2003 seems appropriate to the task.

    And they know that you don’t really want them to get down until you stand up.

    A little help, please. I am aware of only two versions based on Matheson’s novel, and “I Am Legend” has Will Smith, unless I am wrong.

    Was Will Smith in a third version of the novel?

    “The Omega Man,” 1971, was also known as “I Am Legend.” Will Smith’s was, essentially, a remake of that movie.

    The library has a 2008 DVD of the 1964 movie, “The Last Man on Earth;” I’ve just requested it. 🙂

    Lost, thanks, I had forgotten the different title for that version. That is the one I had in mind, with Charlton Heston in the lead role.

    I was completely unaware of that version – thanks for the tip.
