I Am Legend

I saw I Am Legend last night with Vincent, which was a pretty good movie that I have nothing else to say about. Unfortunately, Vincent also lost his phone last night, which I sort of feel is bad karma because we gave some slow driver the finger and made obnoxious jokes throughout the entire movie about Uncle Phil and Carlton being unemployed. I'm trying to be better about that, honestly. Uncle Phil and Carlton don't deserved to be trashed.

Speaking of Will Smith, I thought this story was very interesting.

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Will Smith is angry over celebrity gossip Web site articles that he said misinterpreted a recent remark he made in a Scottish newspaper about Adolf Hitler.

Will Smith was upset that a remark about Hitler was misinterpreted by a writer, and then gossip sites.

In a story published Saturday in the Daily Record, Smith was quoted saying: "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.' "

The quote was preceded by the writer's observation: "Remarkably, Will believes everyone is basically good."

Over the weekend, dozens of celebrity gossip Web sites posted articles about the comment, many saying that Smith believed that Hitler was a "good" person.

"It is an awful and disgusting lie," Smith said in a statement Monday provided by his publicist. "It speaks to the dangerous power of an ignorant person with a pen. I am incensed and infuriated to have to respond to such ludicrous misinterpretation."

"Adolf Hitler was a vile, heinous vicious killer responsible for one of the greatest acts of evil committed on this planet," read the statement.

Aside from Will Smith being a Hitler-loving freak, I actually agree with what he's saying, and other bloggers are either a.) hilariously ribbing this overly sensitive man or b.) really stupid. Either way, Will Smith is right. Hitler was a bad guy, but I'm sure he didn't think of himself as the bad guy. Any leader in that position, Hitler, Roosevelt, Bush, Ahmadinejad, etc, they always feel like they're doing the right thing. Any person who achieves that status, right or wrong, doesn't get to that position by second guessing themselves or thinking of themselves as evil, except probably Dick Cheney. People of historical value always think of themselves as the good guy.

As for myself, I think I'm the greatest good guy of all time! I'm like Superman or Batman, except I don't dress up in gay tights. Oh no, the tights I wear are extremely heterosexual.
