Smooches

he was too busy not paying his taxes :p

I think with a reboot he'll obviously do the role justice again. he's a extremely perfect fit for blade, other than Michael Jai White (who I think would be better, but snipes name is more known.)

Hate is just confused admiration.

While Snipes did a excellent job in the first Blade and the second one was decent, he's too old if they are going to do anything but a one off. I love Michael Jai White and while he is a little younger than snipes (46) he doesnt fit the role enough in my mind but i would accept him and we could do a lot worse. In a perfect world i would be able to put what Wesley Snipes did in the first Blade into Marrese Crump.

It's all the same in the end, matter and motion, simple or complex. No difference, finally. Death, transfiguration. Ashes to ashes and slime to slime, amen.

reach for the lowest one you can.

Danny Glover? Isn't he too old?

ok, but for real, I've only seen Donald Glover in comedic stuff, and I'm not sure how good he'd be as a super serious, brooding vampire slayer.

I think he means Donald Glover the rap star/Actor on 30 rock

However, the Danny Glover you're thinking about would make a great T'Chaka, his voice alone makes him perfect for the roll.

negative attention, all because of Wesley Snipes.

You seriously don't see a problem here?

See J? Panther deserves a fresh start without the past garbage casting Snipes would bring........ Snipes is 'to old for this $hit'

... I don't even know where to begin with that, Jesus Christ. I guess I'll go point-by-point:

- I know who Donal Glover is. I talk about him in the same goddamn post you're quoting, directly after making a Danny Glover joke. holy fucking shit what is wrong with you

- Snipes did fine in Expendables 3. There was no major outcry that he was cast in the film, and his presence didn't cause it to flop (the movie did however do fairly poorly at the box office, however not because of Snipes, but because it was leaked online weeks in advance of its release at the box office)

- Snipes isn't doing Black Panther, he was rumored to reprise his role of Blade, the character he almost single-handedly took from being a relatively obscure Tomb of Dracula character to a widely successful character supporting a trilogy of movies. If he wants to do another Blade movie, and actually acts in it? I don't really see the problem.

I was joking with Donald Glover but i rather have a younger actor than Snipes solely because i dont trust Snipes to act.

And that means what? Dude 'The Expendables' was designed to be just was it is, a brain-dead action movie franchise.

Is that what Blade is to you?

Blade is not exactly a deep character. None of his movies are anything other than dumb action films, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that, provided that the movie is good. And the first two Blade movies succeeded at exactly that.

There is no such animal.

Your lunch with Megan Fox, Joel Schumacher and Michael Bay still on?

Edit:

Ok-ok I'll admit, "dumb action films" have their place, they are a 'guilty pleasure' for me at times, but dammit I know Blade is more then that, if they can make a guy that tells a story while waiting for a bus or a guy who dresses in black rubber to beat up a clown Oscar worthy, we can do better then Wesley Snipes.

I would never in a million years call Michael Bay's movies dumb action films (well, a few, but not really anything post-Armageddon), because you still need a brain to be dumb. And a heart, a soul, wit, the ability to shoot action scenes, and the wisdom to not put racist robots in your movie, and...

"Dumb" might sound overly pejorative, but I'm not sure what a better term would be. Not all movies should be about exploring deep themes or feature elaborate character studies, some movie should just go nuts and have fun; variety is the spice of life, after all. And of course some movies do a little of both, like most of the Marvel movies, for instance; but they can never go as deep as a purely cerebral one, because they've still got explosions and shit to do! I can't really say Blade has tried to do the latter, whether it be in comics or film, unless... I will now attempt a redemptive reading of the Blade films and try to discern some deeper meaning from them:

Blade: a working class black man fights against the white, entrenched power structure of the upper class who parasitically feed off on the 99%; Blade faces off against both old and new money, finding them both lacking and equally as despicable. Thus, he injects their crazy blood god thing with this serum that makes blood explode and then he says "Some motherfuckers are always trying to ice-skate uphill", reflecting the futility of their self destructive behavior in the long run.

Blade II: builds on the themes of the first one by providing an opportunity for Blade to unite with the elite against a common enemy; however, he knows they are not to be trusted and sure enough, they betray him, confirming that tearing down the establishment is the only way to achieve material social progress.

Blade Trinity: Blade teams up with Van Wilder and iPod Lady to fight shitty, boring Dracula. Also, Patton Oswalt is there.

well that was a fun diversion from all this stupidity, I guess! Pretty much the only reason why I replied, to be honest.

I'm glad you're joking about that....I mean WTF.

Ultimately, Blade is a horror/thriller franchise, 'Vampires control everything in the shadows' is just the setting. They need to get back to it, fight scenes are suppose to be story driven, not the other way around.
