So I saw Blade: Trinity, which was a let down.
I love - love - the first two Blade movies, and I'm not going to cop out and qualify that statement by calling them "cheesy fun" or something. I just flat out dug them. And nobody is a bigger fan of writer David Goyer than I am, but somebody else should have directed this one. It was like the pilot for a Canadian syndicated adventure show based on the Blade movies -- cheap and devoid of atmosphere. It was like an episode of the TV series Highlander, only with swearing. They didn't get enough coverage for their fight scenes so they try to fix the problem with choppy editing. The guy that played Drake (aka Dracula) looked like a pagan rugby player. None of the vampires looked cool. You wouldn't think that would be important, but it totally is. Fuck, how much would it have cost to hire Tim Bradstreet to do production design again?
And please, Hollywood, for the love of all that is holy, stop filming movies in Vancouver BC! Enough already.

I'm gonna check out House of Flying Daggers this week, that looks cool as hell. Plus, I've got a crush on that chick Ziyi Zhang. See? Not gay.
I've only run in to one vampire up here, and he was an import from Turbine City. I staked the fucker.
Thanks for your kind words, Sticks, I'm glad you dig it!

I only saw the beginning of house of flying daggers and I saw up to the part where the good ninja-esque guy is revealed to be a bad guy when he's talking to the guards and I saw the part when he watches home-chick take a bath. I started to take a break to play a round (okay, more like six rounds or secen)of DBZ Budokai 3 with my cousin and when I come back they've taken out the movie. Well, geez. Ah well, such is life.
Great story as for me. It would be great to read a bit more about this topic.
BTW look at the design I've made myself Companionship in London
