Tara Erickson & Aaron Alexander react to Blade: Trinity (2004), the explosive horror-action comic book sequel directed by David S. Goyer (Batman Begins, The Dark Knight). The film marks the third chapter in Marvel’s original vampire-slayer trilogy, led by Wesley Snipes (Demolition Man, New Jack City) as the half-human, half-vampire hunter Blade, battling to rid the world of bloodsuckers once and for all. This time, Blade faces his most dangerous enemy yet — the resurrected Dracula, known here as Drake, played by Dominic Purcell (Prison Break, Legends of Tomorrow). He’s not alone in the fight: joining him are Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool, Free Guy) as the wisecracking Hannibal King and Jessica Biel (The Illusionist, 7th Heaven) as the fierce and tech-savvy Abigail Whistler, daughter of Blade’s longtime mentor. The film also stars Kris Kristofferson (A Star Is Born, Payback) reprising his role as Whistler, Parker Posey (Superman Returns, Dazed and Confused) as the stylish and scheming Danica Talos, and Patton Oswalt (Ratatouille, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) in a supporting turn as Hedges, a weapons expert for the Nightstalkers team. Iconic and highly searched moments include the opening vampire raid, Ryan Reynolds’ hilarious one-liners, Blade’s showdown with Dracula, and the UV light final battle, all set to a pounding early-2000s soundtrack. Blending gothic horror, comic-book spectacle, and razor-sharp martial arts, Blade: Trinity brings the trilogy to a fiery close and showcases Snipes’ final turn as the Daywalker.

Oh. ass eyes great effects in the eyes look how far you have fallen the world's changed since you time the humans have a new hunter you'd like me to kill him

Got him. There's a lot of TV and film actors in this. Next, on Bentley Tiddell live. Bentley Tiddell?
Starting point is 00:12:30 I want to hear about this character, Blade. What about him? He's a sociopath that we've been pursuing. Blade is a trouble. I understand that he is under the impression that there is a vast conspiracy of vampires. It is interesting in the first two words largely took place in the shadows and this one's kind of bringing him to the light
Starting point is 00:12:49 all over the papers and television like i care well you should something like this taking out a human yeah he's like famous right now for all the wrong reasons as far as the rest of the world's concerned your public enemy number one didn't know this was a popularity contest they're waiting a goddamn PR campaign trying to cancel you blade you worry too much that's why we're still alive god damn it i've been doing this since before you were born blade you're like a son to me on you oh god it got it sounds like me just every morning and her lips but I don't know who it is wait I think I I know who that is well we're not thinking Jessica Bill it's definitely not her voice oh oh the guy's talking okay oh boy

Starting point is 00:15:36 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, that too. Don't gel your hair? No, not these days. What you're going to worry about? Humans are coming? I will say so far that this one does seem a lot busier plot-wise. I feel like there's a lot more stuff happening. That was a cool effect with a gate.
Starting point is 00:16:00 That looks great. Let's go, let's go, let's go! Yeah, I agree. There's a lot going on here. Ooh, get him. Nice! Oh, that sucks. Oh god, you better move! Oh, enable that one to do.
Starting point is 00:16:32 Oh no. No. No, no, no. He cannot. You don't kill Whisper, bro? Put a finger in your death. How's about this one? No.
Starting point is 00:16:54 Got up in his head! Get out, play! Oh no. Oh. No. Whoa. Why did it have to happen so early in the film? Somebody talk to me!
Starting point is 00:17:19 RIP whisper. Kind of aw, yeah, you see it in his face even after, even through his sunglasses, you see that he's upset. I'm like I don't know how you could do it without whisper either I mean he did it for he did it for two years I know but like it's just it's so hard rise and shine sleepy head special agents we see a body's not yeah what's dead just like all your victims I already said it confirmed say how many people have you killed Blade, 30, 40, 50.
Starting point is 00:18:08 Done deal. 1,182. Yes. But they're all familiar. People who work with them. And by then, you mean vampires, right? We know what you are. You're a stone called killer.
Starting point is 00:18:20 And you're sick as fuck. Let's lead the diagnosis to the professions. Yeah, he is. What? That's my favorite line. Somebody cut that out and said it to me. Hello, Blade. My name is Dr. Vance.
Starting point is 00:18:36 I've been charged with giving you a psychiatric evaluation. Gentlemen, would you mind giving us just a couple of minutes alone? I know he said it, like, as an insult. I know, but, like, he sounded like he was a complimenting him. Exactly. You're sick as fuck. I want you to know that I'm here to help. I'm going to have to ask you a couple of questions.
Starting point is 00:18:54 How about the president? Do you know who's in the White House right now? Oh, that. All right. Let's talk about vampires. What can you tell me about that? They exist. Are you one of them?
Starting point is 00:19:06 What about blood? Not technically, semi. Do you feel yourself becoming sexually aroused? Yeah, we saw that in the first one. We did, you right? Yes, I was like, did he forget? And I'm wondering what your relationship was like with your mother or the two of you very close.
Starting point is 00:19:25 I mean, in a matter of speaking, momentarily, the deal of actually wouldn't have to get in his pants. Right. Is it just a little something to keep you compliant? The troop serum. Big strapping hybrid like yourself. Kick it up to a couple thousand. You don't have a problem in needles, do you?
Starting point is 00:19:46 Ooh. You're one of them. Are familiar? Oh, shoot. Wow. Dang. I hate familiars. Break free, break free.
Starting point is 00:20:11 Dang. Wow. You're like a son, you're like a son. Break out a whisper. Fight the medicine. I like your tattoos. Do they mean anything? Stupid. Are you tired?
Starting point is 00:20:29 You don't know the answer that. They don't know if they mean something. You're all alone, Blade. No one's gonna help you now. What the hell? What's the freak is that? Oh, what? Oh, Jessica. Is it Jessica? Oh.
Starting point is 00:20:53 No, it's not. Eating, ladies. Oh. Oh. Wake up, Blade. This is your rescue. I guess it was those old friends he was talking about. Yeah. It's Flay's got the juice.
Starting point is 00:21:25 It's flowing through him. Oh, boy, oh boy. That was very funny. What did they chew that shot? That was ridiculous. Blade is bricked up and ready for action. Yeah, he is. We ball in it.
Starting point is 00:21:45 Oh, yeah. Right away! You're so big. Nice back kick. Yeah. Whistler! This way! Oh my god, is that his daughter?
Starting point is 00:21:58 Is that his daughter? What? Is Whistler his last name? Oh my god. Or is that his secret wife? Because he had the ring. But maybe. I don't know. You never know.
Starting point is 00:22:19 You get it, girl. Oh my God. Let's rock and roll. Love the sound cue. Whoa! Oh, wow! Nice! That's nuts.
Starting point is 00:22:43 I wonder if Jessica Beale and Ryan Reynolds, like, fell in love on set. They would look like a good couple. Like in the early 2000, she wasn't already married to Justin. I don't think. And they're both very attractive people. I know. Okay. We're fucked.
Starting point is 00:22:57 We're fucked. We're fine. Where is Blade? In the air shaft. Oh, there is our boy. Superhero landing. Nice. Forgot my soul.
Starting point is 00:23:12 Gotta have it. Just left the action scene. There's a lot of sped-up frames in this. It's wild. Oh. It's a lot of them, yum. Who the hell are you people? Well, my name is Hamble King.
Starting point is 00:23:39 This little hellion right here is out game. Whistler's daughter. Ah, you're right. Abigail, the new Whistler. Love it. Thought the bad fires killed Witzers' family. They did. I was born later out of wedlock.
Starting point is 00:23:52 I tracked my dad down and I told him I wanted in. Been doing it ever since. Why aren't you working with them then? Hmm, this is Hedges, Summerfield. She's the one who built that new serum inhaler of yours. Oh, that is Natasha. Oh, hey! We call ourselves the nightstockers.
Starting point is 00:24:10 Sounds like rejects from a Saturday morning cartoon. Rejects? How many of you are there? There's enough. We operate in sleeper cells. What, you amateurs are supposed to be helping me? Look at you. You're kids.
Starting point is 00:24:21 You're not ready to roll with this. You roll with the big dogs? What is this? What is that? Fuck you. The fuck you wrong with you? You'll think this is a joke? The hell makes you think you know about hunting vampires. Just for starters, I used to be one. Used to be one. We had Blade. We had him.
Starting point is 00:24:44 And don't tell me I told you so, Asher. Oh, puppy dog. Maybe it's time by joining the game. Oh, we got two teams now, baby. Her name is Danica Talos. And unlike typical vampires, her fangs are located in her vagina. Eventually, Abigail found me. Summerfield managed to treat me with a cure, and now I killed them.
Starting point is 00:25:04 I love it. He literally was. We need to pull our resources, Blade. We. He's come back. I don't go when he's so resistant. They seem pretty capable. You would not have gotten out this without them. Right. You would not have gotten out without them, I mean.
Starting point is 00:25:16 He's real, Blade. This is a piece of his armor. Dracula's only one of the names he's gone by. Oh. The Babylonians worshipped him as Dagon. And now they call him Drake. Drake? He was born in ancient Sumeria.
Starting point is 00:25:29 And he eats people. I mean, beast with Kendrick. Say, Drake. I hear you like him young. Nobody really knows the specifics of his origin, but we do know this. He was the first of his kind, patriarch of hominous nocturnum. Oh, that's cool visual. He's been there, moving behind the scenes,
Starting point is 00:25:47 cutting a bloody fucking path through the ages until suddenly he happened disappeared. And according to our information, they found him in Iraq about. six months ago, and he was pissed. Ryan Reynolds has a big part in this. He has most, the majority of the lines. Yeah, no, it feels at some points more like his movie than Blaze movie. And, well, I also was thinking this had to be one of his first films, earlier films. Maybe for his bigger films, because I think he, I don't know Van Wilde that came out before
Starting point is 00:26:16 or after this. I haven't seen those movies. In the window. In the window. You sell vampire merchandise. Yeah, look around. He's eating out chocolate. I love it. I love it. Does that still exist?
Starting point is 00:26:28 There's bubbleheads, keychains, even vampire vibrators. Sick. Nice. Was there something special you needed? I don't know what they count chocolate. Hey, Guy. She's talking to. You're just going to bite him? You want to kiss me, Purdue?
Starting point is 00:26:48 What is the script? It is so weird. Oh, sorry, honey, you're being drained. She has respect for the culture. She's gonna turn to your girl, don't worry. You're going to live forever, forever, forever. We are fighting a losing battle here. There are thousands of them out there, maybe tens of thousands.
Starting point is 00:27:12 We need a new tactic. Like what? Biological weapon? In order to create an artificial virus target specifically of vampires. We're calling it Daystock. So what's been holding you back? The bottom line is we need a better strand of deep. We need a better strand of DNA to work with.
Starting point is 00:27:28 We need Dracula's blood. Because Dracula is the progenitor of the vampire race, his DNA is still pure. Can we just go right ahead and sign you up for one of our secret night's docker-de-cota rinks? Electronic pistol comes in a variety of tasty calibers. It's most of Rones. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:45 Wow. Of course, it doesn't have the range of sword. I... But... Oh, God. Uh... I have a question. about that, I just... Have you ever been laid many times?
Starting point is 00:28:00 With ladies. Oh my god. She's making playlists. She likes to listen to MP3s when she hunts. MP3s. Man. Oh. Oh
Starting point is 00:28:22 Yeah, it's a Batman type. Eventually, you know your head is gonna pop off. Oh shit, please, please. Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Come on, let's go, come on. Okay, uh. Hello, this is Dr. Vance, you pagemate. It's for you.
Starting point is 00:28:44 Yeah, go ahead. Hello? Yeah, I guess you will need the dock. Just a thought, but you might want to consider blinking once in a while. I ate a lot of sugar today. I don't know he couldn't see his eyes, but probably looked at the camera just there. Excuse me, sir. Damn.
Starting point is 00:29:12 Where's Ben? I'm sorry, but you can't see Dr. Vance right now. Damn, dog. Oh, nice. Can I help you? Remember me? Time for payback. All right, fans, what the hell do you know?
Starting point is 00:29:28 Tafford Payback. Oh, Jesus. It's him. Abby, it's Drake. Oh, that's right. Oh. Oh. People.
Starting point is 00:29:45 Oh. We can't kill Ryan off. He's our lead. Go ahead, Blade. Show me what you're made of. Oh. Oh, whoa. wild it's obviously a style choice but just haven't seen a movie where it has this many sped-up shots this L.A.? Is this L.A.?
Starting point is 00:30:27 No, because there was a Seattle-looking thing behind them. I've been told about you, your weakness for humans. Why'd you kill Vance? It outlived his purpose. You make him save that baby? I was the first vampire. Vampire. I'm ink. So that's why they brought you back.
Starting point is 00:30:45 They believe through me they could become Daywalkers. I bet he was whying for a second. But I think it is more likely the next time we meet... You fall for mine. Tush! Of course. Coochico. Coooo.
Starting point is 00:31:05 Is it gonna hurt? It's gonna sting a little. Really? Oh, that's a nice effect. Say we're successful, say we wipe out all the vampires. What then, huh? You ever ask yourself that? And somehow, I don't picture you teaching karate, the local why.
Starting point is 00:31:23 I mean, I do like that they post that question. They made it so it's like you're doing a hit. I've got to think it's funny. Yeah. I've been hearing about Mint Mobile ads for years. At a certain point, I realized I was the only one. in America, not saving money with Ryan Reynolds. Full FOMO, my friends were bragging about, paying only like $15 a month,
Starting point is 00:31:47 while my old wireless company was charging me enough funds to fund my own independent movie. So I finally said it. Yes, to saying no. No contracts, no hidden fees, no nonsense. MidMobil's entire thing is simple. Premium wireless starts at just $15 a month. You get unlimited talk, text, high-speed data, all on the nation's largest 5G network. You can keep your phone, keep your number.

Starting point is 00:36:36 And another black dude. I know you smell it, you gotta smell the blood. Yeah, because here, all of our other senses have to be so much stronger. Yeah, heighten. Oh, we kill Ryan Renner. No. Your footsteps. I'm gonna pop up and...
Starting point is 00:37:13 Yep. Oh, okay. Oh no. This poor little girl. Here, dude. Sorry, monster. Blade, hurry back. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:37:27 Oh, God. Oh, God. That got me. Holy to Molly! What the long fingers! Oh, he started to stretch. Yeah. Man, thinks he missed a fantastic.
Starting point is 00:37:48 Something's not right. King! Animal King! Oh! Move! God. Zoe. Whistler?
Starting point is 00:38:03 Um... No. Poor girl. Dang, that sucks. Use it. use that pain to fuel you oh my god why why it's like the dude from the last one i don't want that no his name's Pac-man we've been porting the vampire genus other species experimenting
Starting point is 00:38:55 Poor little Pac-Man. God- damn vampire Pomeranian? Why? Damn Pomeranian. Pressure in me. Well, that depends who you ask, because clearly this dog has a bigger dick than you. And when the fuck did you see my fuck face? Damn.
Starting point is 00:39:17 Okay. I was talking to her. Obviously. You're tasting a little bland lover. Mm-hmm. Tell us about Blade King. I can tell you two things. One, your hairdo is ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:39:40 Hmm. Two, I ate a lot of garlic. And I just farted. Silent but deadly. That has to be improv, probably from Ryan. Dang, he's in really good shape. He's so skinny, though. You're brave, King. I know what you really fear?
Starting point is 00:40:02 What would hurt you else? Oh, wow. I'm gonna bite you again. Oh, wow. For you to feed on. That's messed up. Would you like that, game? Like that, Kay. She enjoyed taking her life.
Starting point is 00:40:24 It's up. He's one of ours. My name is Colder. I'll be your driver this evening. Driver? If you're watching this, I'm already dead. So he's alive. I want you to promise me that you'll take care of her, okay?
Starting point is 00:40:37 I've been reading her the Oz books every night. Crazy is that she made a tape like this. She knew. In order for it to achieve maximum letality, you're going to need to introduce it with Drake's blood. If it works, every vampire in the immediate vicinity should die almost instantly. Instantly. Blade, there's a chance the virus could destroy you too.
Starting point is 00:40:54 Because you're a hybrid, I'm not sure if your immune system will be able to tolerate it. We just didn't have enough time to properly test it. Okay then. Yeah. Can be shot from one of the four barrel rifles, or a bow. Anyway, you must be sure that the shot counts. You'll simply not have enough for a second shot. Tell me, child, do you want to die?
Starting point is 00:41:14 I'm afraid. I'll go to heaven. There is no heaven, no God, no one. God, no angels, the only thing in your future is nothingness. Rude. But what if you could change that? What if you could remain a child forever? I wouldn't want to be a kid forever. My friends are coming to kill you.
Starting point is 00:41:34 That delivery was great. Yeah, badass. Yeah, a little girl. Nice, shiny sword. She needs her playlist. She needs her playlist. Cool crotch rockets. Badie ass.
Starting point is 00:42:19 Oh, she is riding it. That's awesome. What did you say? Jessica is riding the motorcycle. If she was never going to do a shot of her on the motorcycle, or if it was going to be out of you because it's a stepwoman, but it was her. Oh, nice. Can I sorry you did that.
Starting point is 00:42:34 Oh, yeah. Why? Torturing a guy. Nobody's coming for you, King's shit. Ew. Damn. See, one of the things, you fuckheads, need to know about us, night stockers.
Starting point is 00:42:47 Why haven't they turned them yet? Is this nifty little tree? tracking notes surgically implanted in your body. You see when one of us goes missing? The others, they just dial up the satellite, and then instant cavalry. Bravo, bravo, bravo. Okay, King, where is this tracking node of yours?
Starting point is 00:43:04 It's in my left ass cheek. I was slapping in this. It's in the meat of my butt, just below the Hello Kitty tattoo. Just pull down my tidy wades and see for yourself. It's not funny anymore. No, it's not. You hoarse. Bitch. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:43:22 Okay. See that tickle that you're feeling in the back of your throat right now? That's atomized colloidal silver. It's being pumped to the building's air conditioning system. You juggling thunder. My God, insults in here. Oh. Which means the fat lady should be singing right about now.
Starting point is 00:43:49 Uh This is awkward. Do you have a cell phone? There we go. There he is. Oh, those T first. Oh, that's T-first. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:44:19 That was cool. Oh! We didn't even see that one. Buhr. Drop it on. Oh. That was cool. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:30 Oh, Dang, girl. Where's Zoe? Drake's got her. Oh, snap. We can use those. You can use those in a fight now. Look at her arms.
Starting point is 00:44:52 Dang, girl. So solid. Gotta have the play list. Gotta use an mp3 player because of 2004. Yeah, you got more action store. Yeah, you're gonna whoop some ass now. Do it fast now. Oh, what did he just do?
Starting point is 00:45:20 He, like, rip his heart out? I couldn't tell. I just saw him pull something, and there was a CGI blood. Whoa, that was fast. Oh, that's cool. She had some hand-to-hand combat in this. That felt, yeah, that felt sped up. Stank face, shoot, yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:44 Showing who's boss, blade. Nice, Jessica. I just missed entirely. Oh, that guy. Let's hold on the shots, guys. Not that type of film. They like to move around a lot. Nice.
Starting point is 00:46:26 That's very cool. That was dope. Abby. You okay? Watch out. Oh, no. Not today. Not with that.
Starting point is 00:46:34 Not with Abby. Nice. That was cool. Oh, nothing better happen to that puppy dog. Oh, right, even though it's a predator of puppy dog. It reminds me of Captain Marvel. Oh, no. A predator Rottweiler, why?
Starting point is 00:46:51 Did Captain Marvel ripoff blade Trinity? That's freaking funny. Oh, yeah. I'm sorry, that's a cute little guy, aren't you? Good little puppies, yeah. You're going to stay. Oh, there's a pretty smile. Oh, God, their mouths open like that I can.
Starting point is 00:47:11 Ew. Aw. It's fake, it's fake, it's fake, it's fake, it's fake, it's fake. I can't. I can't. They didn't show it. They didn't show it. Don't like it.
Starting point is 00:47:33 Don't like it. Dumbass. Ouch. You seen my dog? Have you tried to lobby? Have you tried to lobby? Thank you. Why did we just cut away from that fight?
Starting point is 00:47:54 Oh, but we're about to fight shredder. Drake Shredder, baby. He has like a low corset on. I was born, ready, motherf . That. That. That. I like that.
Starting point is 00:48:11 Oh my God. Okay, this will we have some fun dialogue. This is how some good lines. That's great. Oh, snap. Here we go. There we go. Second longer.

Starting point is 00:49:59 That was sick. Very cool. She only had so many arrows, but I would love to see a shot of her going and re-picking them up off the ground. Oh Oh Tripp
Starting point is 00:50:24 Oh Whoa Wild Wait who's shooting up there I don't know Oh it's Parker Whoa Whoa
Starting point is 00:50:50 Whoa Whoa Whoa What That looked wild Oh shit Oh Oh
Starting point is 00:51:06 Oh Oh Come on, catch it! Yeah, take her corset all. Body slam. Wow. Wild. Ew.
Starting point is 00:51:37 He looks gnarly. Oh Oh Oh Kind of Kind of Like Like Star Trek.
Starting point is 00:52:05 I can say that. The mix of CGI in practice. of CGI in practice. Yeah, like the special effects, CG on the mouth is actually not bad. Mix with the practical, it looks pretty good. Oh, God, we're ready to die.
Starting point is 00:52:34 There was only one of those. All right, Blade, you gotta get it. All right blade, you gotta get it. Stick it in him. Stick it in him! There we go. Nice. Oh. Ooh.
Starting point is 00:52:52 Oh. Whoa. Whoa. Oh, that's how it kills all the rest of the... It gets the blood cells. Yeah. And all the rest of the vampires, because I was like, this is like it seems like a hive mine thing. Oh, shoot.
Starting point is 00:53:29 Yeah, okay. So they're all, yeah. Freaky. Bye-bye. All of them are affected. Get it out. Yeah, you're about to give it up. You're about to give up life in a second.
Starting point is 00:53:45 Yeah, that was a cool effect. Yeah. That was a great effect on her, too. That looks pretty good. Hi, Parker. All this time, my people were trying to create a new kind of vampire. The future of our race rests with you. You fought with honor.
Starting point is 00:54:10 I respect that. Hmm. Allow me a part of gift. But remember this. The thirst always win. Okay. Bye, bad lady. Gross.
Starting point is 00:54:33 Narlie. A little chest and technique, yeah. He's a hybrid. I don't think it'll be applicable to him. You know they said that was a risk. Yeah. No, I think he's good, too. Dricula didn't become crispy.
Starting point is 00:54:54 Interesting. Had the sun hit the room yet? I was just looking at Jessica. Oh, I thought it had. But maybe not. I think it was even the fact that it was the airborne virus, and he got put into him. Or bloodstream, rather. I think it's real dramatic at the end with the music and stuff.
Starting point is 00:55:34 I guess it does. That wasn't very realistic, but that's okay. Oh, oh, sick cats. And Drake's final gift? Let's just say the FBI got their body. Uh. Oh. Just wasn't the one they were banking on.
Starting point is 00:56:04 Nice. Blade was still out there somewhere. He was a weapon. His life was a war, and everybody knows the war never ends. Another trip. David S. Goyer wrote and directed this. Interesting. I'm interesting. Okay, Blades in his car. That's it.
Starting point is 00:56:48 I guess that's it. Okay. All right. All right. I don't know what that was, but we certainly got it. You guys, we just finished watching Blade Trinity. It was an interesting movie.
Starting point is 00:57:03 I'm sure we both have feelings and thoughts and we're going to start off with some questions to get this review going to get it moving and grooving how many do we have here we got a few you get two six fun okay we got six okay all right terry do you want to get us started with some patreon questions sure let's do it first off jabe rushton question what is your favorite part of this movie or scene So basically, what's your favorite scene or part of this movie? Okay. That's a good question. Yeah, it's tough because I feel like this movie was very different from the first two where I feel like there was some iconic moments that it was stood out. But this one, a lot of the editing for me was just really quick. I feel like we both kind of felt that way.
Starting point is 00:58:02 so it when jessica beel arrow went through those people that was cool that was cool i like the guy who said you're sick as fuck yeah oh my god yeah um yeah that is a tough one or when he goes i'll kill you motherfucker yeah that was good um yeah there's not a ton that really uh is coming to mine. I think the first scene was cool, like in the car. And then when they saved him, you first see Jessica Beale and Ryan Reynolds do
Starting point is 00:58:39 their saving of Blade, and then he comes at the end of the scene because he barely even fought him out. That scene, because he wanted to go get his sword. Yeah. This was a, yeah, this was a unique experience. Yeah. To save it always. Because it didn't feel like Blade had a lot of agency.
Starting point is 00:58:56 He was like there. He was part of it. But It didn't feel like it was truly his movie at the end of the day. I felt like the other two characters had more emotional stakes and there was more history between those other characters. And Blay just got kind of thrown in the middle of it. And then he got to fight the bad guy at the end. Right.
Starting point is 00:59:18 So, you know, that happened. Yeah, do you have any... Do we do the... I mean, I just have the arrow that went through when she shot it. I thought that looked super dope. I thought the effects, like, they were pretty good with the dogs and the human, like the predator-looking effects were great. Even the practical of the Dracula guy was cool.
Starting point is 00:59:46 But, yeah, I can't really call out, like, a stunt like I would have in one or two or a fight scene in one or two, which, because the quick cutting, I just am like, Oh, yeah, it just was, there was a lot going on. It was kind of all over the place. But yeah, should we move on the next question? Just do it. All right, awesome. Joe, what movie do you wish you could have been,
Starting point is 01:00:11 what movie do you wish could have been a great movie to be told, but its direction was a massive disappointment to you? For me, it was X-Men, the last stand. The director of Brian Singer, who directed the first two movies left to go and direct Superman Returns, and instantly randomly selected Brett Ratner, the director of Rush Hour movies, to direct the third X-Men movie to that storyline.
Starting point is 01:00:32 Thanks so much for answering my question. Keep on Living the Dream as always. Stay awesome. Thanks, Joe. Interesting. Okay, a movie that wished to have a better direction? This wasn't a massive disappointment to me, but. You said it was or was not?
Starting point is 01:00:50 It's not, but I would be like, well, this movie, I like the first two better. And we're in newer times now. with more effects and visual effects and stuff like that. I don't know. I don't know. Let me think on that. You go ahead because I'm like, what movie? Oh, I think Fantastic for the 2015 one.
Starting point is 01:01:16 I felt like there were some really interesting things that could have been done there. The first half of the movie was really interesting as far as how we wanted to take a more grounded character-focused, dramatic take on those characters. I remember watching that movie in preparation for Deadpool Marine, and I was texting my friends, so I was watching it. And I was like, this movie isn't bad. And then it skips to, you know, the second half of the movie. And I was like, what the hell happened? It just really fell off the wheels hard. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:44 It just fell apart. And I was so bummed and disappointed that that couldn't have come out better. Also, Amazing Spider-Man, too. I have a very soft spot for that movie. But I felt like there was a lot of studio meddling. and they didn't let Mark Webb really make the movie he really wanted to make. So by that, I felt like there could have been a stronger,
Starting point is 01:02:10 cohesive story instead of all this stuff they want to implant for the future of their cinematic universe and having more focused, because of course, it was more focused. A lot of the stuff they try to do in that movie would have hit harder. And I don't want to spoil it because you watch it. Okay, I love that. I do have one. snow white
Starting point is 01:02:28 the 2020 for one you guys know you saw my reaction to it yep I wish that that was a great movie the direction and the way that I think they handled it it was disappointing to me the singers were still good though
Starting point is 01:02:46 okay um all right we'll do some fun ones Robert Ross a bit of a different take on Dracula being able to daywalk like Blade and all. Do you all have a favorite take on Dracula or vampires in general? Mine would probably be what we do in the shadows, both movie and TV show. That's. I like the vampires and sinners. I thought that was an
Starting point is 01:03:10 interesting take and how it was kind of geared towards vampires being a second form of life and there being a sense of community amongst a second form of life. I don't want to kind of get I don't think you've seen anything. I haven't. You haven't? Okay, so I don't want to spoil anything about that. But I really dug how that movie did vampires, and I liked what they did an aspirato.
Starting point is 01:03:34 That was a very fun take of all. I really like True Blood. True Blood was a great TV show. Good job on HBO. It's older now, but that was a fun one, well-acted, good direction, good times. Yeah. All right, Keb B.
Starting point is 01:03:50 If you had to pick one weapon or gadget from the film to take on a vampire hunt, Which one would you choose? And be honest, do you think you'd survive the night or would you be the first one to go down? I like Blades guns is like silver bullet guns, but those are pretty cool. Yeah, what about you? You know, I really like the bow and arrow, but I think I mostly like the gadget one. That flips open and it has the UV string light that you just, I'd probably do that one.
Starting point is 01:04:21 It looks like a bow. I was surprised that it wasn't a bow. And it wasn't. And I'm like, now I'm thinking that's actually a bad weapon because of how close I would have to get to a vampire to actually damage them. So I probably would go with a bow and arrow. Bow and arrow for sure. Except I would also put like poison on the tips that like, well, I guess the second she put the arrow in, they were silver tips and they would blow up, right? Yeah, they would.
Starting point is 01:04:52 I'm going flown arrow. Do you think you survive the night? I had weapons, maybe, but, I don't know, I'm not very fast, so I probably would get taken out by a fast vampire. But I could hold off myself with the weapons for a little while, but I feel like if I was ganged up by vampires, I don't think I would survive a night.
Starting point is 01:05:12 What about you? If I was ganged up on, no. But if there was a few around, and I had like a weapon and I would also be the who's like look for all the other weapons as well right now and then hide i feel like could baby make it maybe yeah i'm leaving i've got some stuff up here maybe maybe i do weapons for a nice too in this world we don't know we don't know we don't know we don't know captain fernandez the nightstalkers reynolds and bea were originally going to star in a
Starting point is 01:05:46 spin-off series there was even an alternate ending where they took on a werewolf would you have been interested in following the further adventures of their characters? Interesting. They were fun, but I felt, I mean, yeah, I think they could have been cool in a spinoff series. This movie felt like the introduction of the spin-off series
Starting point is 01:06:05 rather than a true Blade sequel. Because, yeah, the second one called Blade 2, and this was Blade subtitle Trinity. So I imagine the show would be called either Knife Foxx or Trinity, and they have some other third vampire hunter to build Blade Spot and kind of have a special
Starting point is 01:06:21 best opinions or whatnot. Yeah. But, I mean, they were cool enough. But yeah, why not? I'd be curious to see what vampires would like in this world or werewolves look like in this world because we didn't really get in the warwolves. No.
Starting point is 01:06:35 But, yeah, what about you? What do you think? Yeah, if they added an alternate ending with a werewolf, I would have been 150% down, especially if it looked really good. Yeah. I think that would have been a lot of fun versus just like humans.
Starting point is 01:06:49 And then we have the Parker Posey gang. and, like, a lot of quick cutting. But if it looked bad, like, bad CGI, then I wouldn't want it. Like, if you're like, we can see through that dog, then, like, no thanks. But I would definitely want to continue. I mean, everybody loves Ryan Reynolds, right? I love Jessica Beal now. I mean, there are certain reactions from Jessica in this,
Starting point is 01:07:15 and obviously the action stuff she has down. for some reason sometimes in the standard just lines I don't always really believe her like she's totally grounded except for I did watch within the last couple years candy she plays like the murderer and she did a great job in that she's really really good um in this one I'm not I didn't get a vibe where I was like oh my God I can't wait to see a spin up with with Reynolds and Beal um I feel like it would be more
Starting point is 01:07:48 Reynolds than maybe it would be her she's the hot girl it's sort of like what's her nuts from transformers Megan Fox it's like you're gonna go with Shia LeBuff you're like Megan Fox that she was there that's a plus but nobody's like she's a phenomenal actress you know I do I mean Megan Fox Jessica Beale don't get me wrong they're in different categories Jessica Beale does have talent and I've seen her shows this one to me for sometimes when sometimes when she was just talking about stuff I felt like she wasn't it didn't seem very grounded to me that's all yeah um I felt like Ryan Reynolds like stole the show and it's not in the and it's in a way that we're gonna like we watch a movie
Starting point is 01:08:35 and supporting characters like oh okay that was cool like you know it says characters movie and this guy was cool it sort of felt like he was the one talking and all the jokes and had all like the best one liners. Yeah. And, and Blade had like a couple of cool lines, but. A couple. Huh? Only a couple. I'm agreeing with you. I'm like, yeah, a couple. Yeah, only a couple. And even the, the fight scenes in comparison, like he was still like, you know, Wesley Snipes still knows how to throw down. And it's cool and believable when
Starting point is 01:09:04 he's doing it. But I felt like even the fight choreography felt a little bit slower or like more, more blocky, whereas it was very quick and very cool. first two movies but yeah I'm sorry this is like a weird experience for me I feel like in you saying that it felt slow or whatever I feel like they shot some of these fight scenes in in slow mo like they went they were like it's fine go as slow as you want to get the actual action and we'll just speed up the frame versus in the other films they're doing legit choreography we're staying on the frame we're following them it's all one take you can see the kicks it's really good stunts not to say that there wasn't good stunts in here there was and still really good choreography we just
Starting point is 01:09:53 cut away from it a lot yeah there was i went oh that was really cool choreography and a cool shot it literally lasted for three seconds the rest of it when it was so quick it's it's hard to like really get invested in the choreography in the stunts because you're like well i'm not getting the full picture yeah you know it's it's going it's going by a little too fast yeah also realized we kind of dropped the whole humans know about blade subplot as soon as he got saved by the oh yeah stockers that just kind of went away yeah like no more news no we didn't we didn't end on a newspaper or you know what would have been actually better now that you mentioned that is that the stinger it he should have turned on the radio and it would have
Starting point is 01:10:42 have said we are still looking for the you know the the the psychopath who killed whatever whatever they called him on the newspaper yeah i think and then he's like he takes off i'm like might have been a fun stinger yeah so like the humans could be a bigger part of the third of the fourth one than ever yeah just to remind us it's not over yeah because you're right about that i forgot exactly like totally forgot yeah it wasn't until i was thinking here and reviewing the movie i was like oh yeah huh they did kind of start off with that because he like killed somebody in public and they try to frame him for that to get him arrested. And then it
Starting point is 01:11:16 went away. They went away. All right. Pierre the Reject, what do you want to see from the MCU Blade if it ever comes out? I would like to see Blade have a little bit more character development because I like to Wesley Snipes's
Starting point is 01:11:32 Blade. I feel like he definitely captured the vibe of that character. But I do feel as far as the writing for him as a person goes. I feel like it was like a little thin from the whole trilogy.
Starting point is 01:11:48 I was waiting to get like a little deeper into his, I don't know, maybe his loneliness, or I know he kind of wrestled with, like, oh, like, I want to be more human, but I got this, like, this dark thing that I got to, like, contest with. I got to take this drug. So, I don't know, giving him some sort of anchor
Starting point is 01:12:05 to make that dichotomy of the world so he walks a little bit more conflicting or just, I don't know, just a little bit more sauce in it. I feel like if we were to add him into the MTAU, I feel like there's room for him to grow as a character, which I didn't feel they did necessarily in the second two movies. We did some of that in the first movie.
Starting point is 01:12:32 In the second movie, I freaking loved because that wasn't the focus of it. And I was hoping we'd get a little bit more in this one, but he was even less focused on him. So I think there's a lot of places where someone like Blade to go. And then also being in relationship with other heroes, knowing that, you know, even though those vampire stuff's going on, there's a lot of other big things happening, seeing how he interacts with those things that aren't directly his, uh, his war would be in the same thing. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:01 I would, uh, prefer to see just longer shots. Like we had in the first one, just stay on the action. The thing is, is that he didn't have many lines, even in the first one. He didn't even, he doesn't talk that much, right? It's blade. He'll just be like, he'll say a one-liner and then move on. And it's mostly was like kind of whisper or other characters. But I think what made us not really think about that because we still had shots where we're just close zoom in on him, pick up of his face.
Starting point is 01:13:32 How is he feeling? He's in this chair. He's giving blood, whispers doing something. we get the vibe of it and then when we cut to the action we're staying on it and it really makes you super engaged in the choreography
Starting point is 01:13:46 when you can actually see what is going on and I would really like to see that a lot more. I would want them to take from what Blade 1 did and put that in the MCU Blade. Like let's
Starting point is 01:14:03 go back to the OG feeling and put them in those kind of scenarios maybe not with the mom sucking blood thing but anything other than that take from the OG you know all right we'll finish it up with some trivia kev B Wesley Snipes reportedly refused to film many of his scenes often communicating with the director David Gore solely through post-it note signed as blade Snipes had tense clashes with the crew and only appeared for close-up shots leaving doubles to do most of his action scene interesting that's why there's a lot of cutting what i didn't know more about this that's messed up why would you do that
Starting point is 01:14:52 he obviously did not like david goyer they obviously were clashing i also yeah i think he had beef with i heard without actually seeing the movie that he had beef with ryan reynolds on set as well maybe that's why because they just put crew but it's like Ryan Reynolds he doesn't want well Ryan Reynolds was the star of the film pretty much in all intents and purposes but also if you're not going to show up
Starting point is 01:15:15 because yeah you notice it's interesting that he works with these guys but never actually really becomes friends with them because they're not this big like culminative thing we're like we did it guys we saved the day together he just kind of goes off and does his own thing like they just had this
Starting point is 01:15:30 this thing where they cross paths and I'm going to do my thing you i can do your thing yeah like interesting that seems very like it also seems very passive aggressive to be a posted note and like that's the way you communicate you can't even target and you're like late i'm like are we 12 it just seems weird yeah um also it says jessica beel's archery skills were so precise during the filming of blade trinity that from 50 feet away and 40 feet up in the air. She shot an arrow directly through a tiny two by two inch opening and a plexiglass shield straight into a $300,000 camera lens. Oh my God. The arrow embedded about six inches into the camera destroying it completely. That's awesome. That's insane. I'm not sure they
Starting point is 01:16:22 were so pissed, but that sounds amazing. Dope as hell. Yeah. I bet you she was like, I'm so sorry. I'm good. I don't know why. I need to see more archery. You better watch out. You better never be unfaithful of this woman. Oh, my God. Right? And also I'm thinking I get it.
Starting point is 01:16:39 So it's like 50 feet, 40 feet up. Cameras down here. Point of view is probably up. You're thinking it's just going to go over, but it goes, that would be scary. If you're the cameraman, that would be like, it could have gone through your head. Yeah. Six inches deep. dude for the camera wild wild wild wild well i still i still had fun i like this movie but i
Starting point is 01:17:05 like the the first two better this one was a little disappointing to me but it's only because i think when i was watching it i did really love ryan reynolds a love parker posey but there wasn't anything sort of keeping me on the edge of my seat like i sort of was in the other ones where it felt the pacing was better or maybe I just like the action better. I still like this one and I still really like, obviously, Snipes and Reynolds and Beal and Parker Posey. There's great actors in this. It might have just been the choreography and if, you know, he's not showing up to set, there might be, there's obviously a big reason why we're having to cut away from those shots because it's a double. Maybe that's why.
Starting point is 01:17:50 Yeah, you can really feel the behind-the-scenes problems with this one. I felt like Blade was dropped into the middle of a back-door pilot for another series. And him already being a character that doesn't talk a lot, and Ryan Reynolds being someone who talks most scenes, and, you know, always has some sort of one-liners, kind of made the film fill in balance as far as the characters go. And, you know, you have these other stars in here as well. And a couple with the action just not being as satisfying,
Starting point is 01:18:24 granted, there were some cool kills and there were some cool fights in here. But yeah, it just did not feel like Wesley Snipes. Not that they didn't show up to play, but it just did not give that same feeling for the blades that we kind of come to watch because maybe some back behind the same context. We shot the second blade after already a long day of shooting. it was like a four to six hour day of shooting and then we shot Blade 2
Starting point is 01:18:54 and that just revitalized us and was just on the edge of our seats and cheering and are we in love with that movie but I feel like if we were to watch this movie after a long day I don't think it would have had that same effect and not for me it's not even a little bit of a long day
Starting point is 01:19:10 but no not for me I did not feel reinvigorated after this movie no it's really unfortunate that that's the case yeah but there was some still fun. There's still fun to be had. I didn't hate this movie.
Starting point is 01:19:23 I don't think it was awful, but I can definitely feel like you can see behind the same problems with it. And yeah, I think all the actors were really good. The dialogue was a little weird, but overall, it was fun.
Starting point is 01:19:37 It was fine. It was a fine movie. And, yeah, hope, you know, you guys had a good time with it yourselves. Comment and let us know what you think. Yeah, let us know. I'm interested.
