And who was he supposed to have sex with? Abigail Whistler, the character played by Jessica Biel. And, as we all know, there was no such sex scene in Blade: Trinity.

Confirmed.

Movie could have been great. We all lost out.

y'all should be ashamed
When I met him I was like, “Hi!” And he was like, “I’m Blade.”

Bwahahaha

A lot of the lines that Ryan Reynolds has were just a result of Wesley not being there. We would all just think of things for him to say and then cut to Wesley’s face not doing anything because that’s all we could get from him. It was kind of funny. We were like, “What are the worst jokes and puns that we can say to this guy?” And then it would just be his face going, “Mmm.” “Smiles are contagious.” It’s so, so dumb. [Laughs.] That was an example of a very troubled shoot that we made fun. You have to find a way to make it fun.

I loved that interview. I hope more people read the full thing. Validates my idea that weird al has been on the money for years. No one understands genius.

he would only communicate with the director through Post-it notes. And he would sign each Post-it note “From Blade.” [Laughs.]

Snipes is awesome.

He was also 100% in the right. The comedy/script blew & Reynolds & Biel were detrimental to the film.
Goyer is also a hack & I would probably want to strangle him on the set as well.

AVC: There’s a rumor that he tried to stay in character the entire shoot.

PO: Oh yeah, he did. When I met him I was like, “Hi!” And he was like, “I’m Blade.”

Best part.

Great read.

I'd rather hear stories from this set that has a giant girl driving a bus.

I still enjoy the first Blade.

I can't decide if Snipes sounds like a genius or a mega-douche here.

i'm surprised that nobody jumps on Wesley Snipes for being a woman beater... isn't he the one who hit Halle Berry and made her 80% deaf in one ear?

YEp

Actor Wesley Snipes has been exposed as the abusive ex-lover of Halle Berry, who struck the actress so hard, she lost most of the hearing in her right ear. R&B singer Christopher Williams - who dated Berry in the early 1990s - has made the startling accusation against the Blade star after getting upset with the number of people who assume it was him who dealt the screen beauty the damaging blow. He tells entertainment news website Eurweb, "The stuff they wrote about (me) and Halle was totally false. They said something like I busted her eardrum, and I'm tired of it. I never said it (before) but I'm so tired of people thinking I'm the guy (who did it). Wesley Snipes busted her eardrum, not me."

A bunch of Post It notes signed with "From Blade" are laying around in someone's storage room aren't they?

That sounds incredible.

Or even to just hear about some auction of where they are sold and we peasants get pictures of this stuff.

Okay seriously why were there so many wrestling moves in this movie? It made no sense. Especially in the fights between Blade and the main villain; like elbow drops and powerbombs and shit.

Because that shit is hilarious...in Blade Trinity, Dracula rock bottoms him into the floor IIRC

Edit: Above av is relevant

Never saw the TV series, is it good? I like Sticky music, Decade is a good album!
Click to expand...

I never saw the show either, and remember thinking "Man, getting Sticky to be TV Blade seems like... that could go really right, or really really wrong."

But I never heard anyone actively clowning his portrayal as Blade though. Problem is I don't really know if that's because he was good, or because nobody watched that show.

Was he decent?

Yeah all those bad lines were just an inside joke, I'm sure it wasn't just that he and Reynolds are unfunny hacks.

Yes, shitty sidekick and a shitty crew of vampires in there too. Only Perlman was good. Donnie Yen was underutlized and I think he's character disappeared randomly too.



Classic.

haha YT comments

Obama should use this during the debates, like right now during the debate. It's so fitting, too.
Obama: "Romney, you're incapable of running this shit..."
Romney: "But..."
Obama: "SIT YO FIVE DOLLA ASS DOWN BEFORE I MAKE CHANGE!"
And wasn't that his campaign line in '08? "Change".

Just the idea of Wesley Snipes communicating through post its as Blade is incredible. The fact that it happened, in reality, is unbelievable!

All three Blade movies are shit. Funny shit, but shit nonetheless.

There's a scene in the first movie that always cracks me up. Blade is pointing out people who are vampires outside the vampire club, and he points out the bouncer. What kind of schmuck do you have to be to become a vampire and still work as a bouncer? Lol.

They need to reboot Blade with Idris Elba as Blade, JGL as his wise crackin side kick and Michael Fassbender as the big bad guy. Michael Caine as Whistler. Directed by Christopher Nolan.

Ryan Reynolds was doing his Deadpool impression in a Blade movie.

Yeah. It's easier to do when his mouth isn't sewn shut.
I'd love to have seen the meeting about that.
"So this guy's called The Merc With A Mouth, right?"
"Yeah."
"What if he didn't have a mouth?"
"Genius."

You guys know that wasn't Ryan Reynolds at the end of Wolverine, right? He had to do other movies so they had another actor (a stuntman, basically) play evil Deadpool.

They had to come up with an excuse to have this new Deadpool look and sound totally different. By having the mouth shut, they got around the "sound different" part pretty easily...
