The Master Posted August 22 Report Share Posted August 22 Is this why I saw people talking about the ravens leaving the bridge or something? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That and my stopwatch analysis of Richard Pryor's total screen time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
slothian Posted September 5 Author Report Share Posted September 5 Probably the opportune time to ask: Captain America: The Winter Soldier vs Blade And having just rewatched Blade, I am NOT expecting a walkover - it's a film that has SO much going for it aside from the effects of the villain death, which is 5 seconds of a near 2 hour movie.

Donomark Posted September 6 Report Share Posted September 6 Shit, that's tricky. Blade has way more style, which lately has been used as a negative in describing films. But it's style used to maximum effect. It's dark and moody but juuust superhero genre enough that it's fun. Snipes infuses Blade with tons of personality, even if he's often stoic and taciturn. Leaving us with great lines and moments. Stephen Dorff's best performance..? A film with black leads in both male and female but it doesn't contrive to the genre expectations of romance like, say, Aquaman for instance. Top tier action. I would say that...Blade is a better movie because of the time it came out. Comic Books movies were not only mostly not good, they were rarely that good. Having re-watched Blade a couple months back, you have to both squint and be in a bad mood to find something truly, objectively wrong with it as a film. Winter Solider's one of the best MCU films, and one of the best CBMs as well, but Blade's style puts it over IMO. It tells a more layered story, but Blade's simplicity gives it more efficacy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Been meaning to see Blade for ages but it never seems to streaming when it's on my mind. I'll be re-watching Winter Soldier for a future recording soon, however...

dc20willsave Posted September 12 Report Share Posted September 12 The Thing is an easy choice. I'm going to lean toward Alien on the other but just barely. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
