the dog 16 January 2008
I love a bit of science fiction. So does my mum. In fact, one of our shared and abiding memories is of when she visited me at college in Dublin just as the movie ALIEN came out. We had a look at the poster and decided it was for us…not knowing what we were in for. Well, in space no one can hear you scream, but they sure can in the Savoy cinema on O’Connell Street. We were terrified when the creature first burst out. LOVED the movie though we were scared half to death. I have always had a fondness too for OMEGA MAN starring Charlton Heston and I believe it’s based on the book I AM LEGEND which is now out as a movie. SO, my question is this – could someone tell me what happens to the dog in it because if I go and it breaks my heart it will be Bambi’s mother all over again and I will be very very sad and won’t be able to forget it. Okay, I know BAMBI is a cartoon but so is THE LION KING and I couldn’t go to it either because I knew I’d be too sad at what happened to his Dad and cartoon characters slay me when there’s tragedy. I didn’t go to HAPPY FEET in case a penguin bought it but now that someone’s told me the small sadness therein I know I can face into it. Yes, I know I am an eejit, but I thought that if I was forewarned of any nastiness in I AM LEGEND involving the lovely German Shepherd dog, should there be any and there might not, I might have a fighting chance of being able to deal with it. HELP…
