W❤️M - Blade
Added 2023-09-14 10:00:04 +0000 UTCOn this month’s We ❤️ Movies, the guys are chatting about the incredible Marvel movie, Blade! How absolutely magnificent is Wesley as Blade? Isn’t it great watching a movie for adults? Are there better title cards in a Marvel film? How bad-ass is Kris Kristofferson in this? And can anyone hold back the vomit when Pearl is getting charred? PLUS: George Costanza tries to prove to Jerry he went on a date with a model to the Blood rave!
Blade stars Wesley Snipes, Stephen Dorff, Kris Kristofferson, N’Bushe Wright, Donal Logue, Arly Jover, Traci Lords, Sanaa Lathan, and the legendary Udo Kier as Dragonetti; directed by Stephen Norrington.

2024-05-14 22:46:08 +0000 UTCJust rewatched this movie a few days ago. Still good. Music also still good. Ohhh the blood rave. They recreated one at Webster Hall 3-5 years ago. There was thankfully fake blood and no vampires.

2023-10-04 00:09:28 +0000 UTCTo be fair there's a reason why south park didn't make fun of Trump and it's because they knew their was overlap between their fans and his.

2023-10-03 02:50:01 +0000 UTCI like all three of the Blade films (the third film is dumb fun and the second one is sort of a better Hellboy movie than the actual Hellboy movies) but the first is still the best. Keep up the good work.

2023-09-20 17:59:54 +0000 UTCThis is a new classic I'll be re-listening to again and again

2023-09-19 19:11:22 +0000 UTCForever Knight fan here, too! It had the robot from Jason X as Nick Knight's 2nd partner, Tracey.

2023-09-19 11:09:12 +0000 UTCNever saw this one growing up, so I checked it out after listening and had a total blast watching! I actually liked the CGI a lot: it's hovering right on the edge where it's not downright ugly to look at, but it's stylized enough to not feel like they're trying to trick you into thinking it's real, so it fits right in. It's like the high tech version of a quality dummy fall.

2023-09-19 07:08:40 +0000 UTCA couple weeks ago I watched this for the first time in forever and was very surprised at how it has held up. It has everything you want in a movie.

2023-09-18 19:23:06 +0000 UTCThe statement of there’s two black leads but it’s not a black movie was eye opening. I’m going to start saying that about any movie with more than two white leads ‘It had three white people in lead, but it wasn’t a white movie you know’ - it’s not for a niche audience at all. I love adding statements to my repertoire that my family will hate.
goshnope
2023-09-17 12:22:24 +0000 UTCI love how the Giuliani voice is like, second cousin to the Billy voice, it makes it all the more believable

2023-09-15 23:06:32 +0000 UTC“Use the Force, Blade, you chickenshit”
Felipe Sobreiro
2023-09-15 22:43:05 +0000 UTCThe Kris Kristofferson's did not disappoint. All the more reason that you guys need to watch Flashpoint.
Chris Tobias
2023-09-15 19:19:40 +0000 UTCI love this fucking movie. Could not care less about the bad CGI. Snipes never got the career he deserved. He should have been the biggest thing in Hollywood. This movie should be a model of how you shoot a Blockbuster on not a lot of money.
The Wheel
2023-09-15 18:58:08 +0000 UTCDorff was also fun to watch on this season's Righteous Gemstones. Between him and Adrian Brody, HBO seems to be slowly evolving into a comfortable last resort for faded actors who hit their peak in the late 90s/early Aughts.

2023-09-15 13:31:59 +0000 UTCI haven't seen Blade II yet, but it was impossible not to watch the first without thinking of the TWO Hellboy films. Obviously, the second's gonna be even more GDT, but that's gonna be a tall order.
Sarah Montgomery
2023-09-15 11:27:36 +0000 UTCIt gave it a good go, but that third act CGI (should that be in scare quotes?) means it didn't stick the landing. Good cast and direction, though, despite the Goyeriffic dialogue. I'll still go with Batman Returns.
Sarah Montgomery
2023-09-15 11:24:42 +0000 UTCAnd because I also love X2
Ray
2023-09-15 06:19:49 +0000 UTCIf cabin gets to do his favorite movie, blade, then Steve should be able to do X2 since he doesn't get to win the VHS trailer game because jamemaster
Ray
2023-09-15 06:19:19 +0000 UTCI think it was on the audio commentary I remembered them talking about while Donal Logue was in his burn makeup there was an accident on set that sent him to the hospital (broken arm or something) and the nurses freaked out when he walked in looking like a crispy critter.

2023-09-15 01:45:10 +0000 UTCBlade was the best comic book movie since Superman
James C Harris
2023-09-14 22:20:56 +0000 UTCAs much as I like Blade, it's definitely an 'I got it by the way' for me. GDT bay-bee!!

2023-09-14 17:45:22 +0000 UTCYeah, that's a joke for all the other folks closing in on retirement age.
Kingyam
2023-09-14 17:15:24 +0000 UTCI think what killed Stephen Dorff's career was his controversial opinions on golf.

2023-09-14 17:15:01 +0000 UTCIs Entropy a stay tuned?

2023-09-14 17:12:36 +0000 UTC“Eric Suck-ska” was right there!
Zachary Maricondia
2023-09-14 16:37:45 +0000 UTCWhat does that even mean?!? Can one ice skate downhill? Isn't water flat? Especially frozen ponds. People SKI up and down hill I guess

2023-09-14 13:07:49 +0000 UTCWe need a Lil Sadjak cartoon. Snowfalls. Ripping pants on fence. Does it sink or float? There's 3 episodes right there.

2023-09-14 12:57:37 +0000 UTCCan't wait for your future episode on Blade II aka "Big Kiss"

2023-09-14 12:43:15 +0000 UTCI wonder if Andrew will mention the 4K.

2023-09-14 11:47:00 +0000 UTC🤘!!!
Matt Doenges
2023-09-14 10:41:34 +0000 UTCIt was so much fun watching this again. I don't think I'd seen it in at least 15 years, but it still really holds up.
Tony King
2023-09-14 10:19:54 +0000 UTCFuck yeah. Loved this movie since it came out. Thanks ,fellas, for helping the next couple hours at work fly by!
