Review: Blade II - Electric Boogaloo

I took some time to go and see the sequel to the 1998 film Blade and I thought I'd post a review about the movie and see what other slashdotters thought. In general it was like watching someone else play a really pretty beta quality video game. Read on if you'd like to know more. I don't spoil much of anything, I assure you. Well, the mystery for me is over. I know who made all that money during the dot-com bubble. It was Blade. Remember in the first Blade movie, he had to hock the watches and things that he took off the vampires he killed for working capital? I found it sort of grounding that he had to pay for his silver and garlic. In this movie, he's been able to pick up gobs of silver bullets and weaponry, shipped his muscle car, machinery and support guy to Prague to find his friend Whistler. Whistler is played by the unshowered, unshaven, crotchety Kris Kristofferson, who was supposed to have died in the last movie.

He finds him, of course. Mind you, Whistler's now a vampire who is in some kind of hastily unexplained "stasis" for the last few years, so that Blade can inoculate him against the vampire virus and make him human again. The science in this movie, by the way, is insultingly bad, and exceptionally inconsistent. It seems to me if you are going to offer some kind of crappy vampire virus you might as well make it somewhat consistent. It's airborne! It's blood borne! It turns out it's script borne, infecting those who it's convienient to infect and missing, strangely, Blade and his pals.

The story (which I urge you to ignore) is that Blade must team up with the "BloodPack" to defeat a new, powerful and virulent strain of vampires known as the "Reaper" strain which poses a threat to the Vampire Nation and to Humanity alike.

I don't want to dwell on the story too much since, well, the producers of Blade II didn't, so why should I? But the stupid names they chose for everything. "Whistler," "Scud" and "Blade" must defeat the "Reapers" with the help of the "Bloodpack" of the "Vampire Nation." This clearly points to their actual audience. Immature 13-year-old boys up late watching bad cable when Cinemax after dark just isn't doing it for them.

And me, I guess, I mean, I did go and watch this tripe. Perhaps the only redeeming features of Blade II are the fight scenes, a number of which were even filmed such that you could see what was going on. The ones you could make out were fantastic, full of groovy moves and excellent gymnastics and flashing leather, steel, vampire flavored flash bangs and flying silver bullets. So that was fun, but watching Blade II makes you realize how well Blade I's fights were filmed. And don't get me into the numerous continuity errors that whap you on the forehead every ten minutes.

As far as Wesley Snipes' performance, it was energetic. I'd place this movie somewhere between Drop Zone and Passenger 57 in the Snipes oeuvre.

So , if you really really really like playing Mortal Kombat-style fighting games, go see Blade II. Also, if you want to see the trailer for the upcoming Friday the 13th movie, Jason X, Jason in Space, go see Blade II. Yes, I'm serious, Jason X. 10! In Space! Starring lots of Canadian sci-fi actors on break from Andromeda ! I weep for action cinema. Thank God I've got Hard Boiled on DVD.

    Alright I was reading a couple stories and I just decided to share this little
    story about the time I hit it with a Jew girl using deception and cunning. LOL.
    I mean it's not real hard to act like another person or make others believe you
    are.

    When I was a senior in high school last year not long before my 18th birthday I
    was just cruising through school. After we changed classes at the end of second
    semester I got into a class with this really hot girl named Cindy who I was
    sitting by in the seating chart, well I knew from the first day I was gonna try
    and hit it with this girl, but I didn't think it would be nearly as complicated
    as it turned out. One day in class we had to pair up and do this project (it was
    history class) and it was on the Cold War, well into the convo we started
    talking about those Jew Rosenberg's selling the atom bomb and I said "well what
    the hell do you expect for those fucking kikes?" and she looked at me and said
    "what did you just say?" and I repeated myself and she said, "You ignorant
    asshole I'm Jewish," and I looked at her and said, "Well sux to be you" and
    started laughing. Well we didn't talk the rest of the project, I just let her do
    the work then I guess to be a dick I acted like I was scratching my arm and
    pulled up the sleeve to show my Neo-Nazi tattoo to her (I am a proud and loyal
    NNLR member) and she said, "I can't believe I am sitting next to a Nazi," and I
    was like, "I am unfortunately not a Nazi, I missed the good old days," and
    started laughing and man was she pissed.

    To go on, well we went through the next few weeks barely saying anything to each
    other and me and A.J. (a fellow NNLR in my class) would sometimes say some shit
    to her. Well it pissed her off enough to try and get her boyfriend after me so
    he came up to my table and asked me about some shit and I ended fucking him up
    in the lunch room, I mean it was a weak fight with some Jew-loving soccer player
    against me a pure Aryan linebacker. LOL. I ended up getting 10 days out for
    drawing blood and I just cruised through that easy as hell.

    When I came back I found out that sometime when I was gone she had broken up
    with her boyfriend. I am not sure why, but it figures he gets his ass beat for
    her and she dumps him later for something. Typical Jew. In class, she eyes me
    when I sat down and didn't say anything to me, I started razzing her and was
    like, "how's you boyfriend doing?" and she's like, "I am not going out with him
    anymore but I am sure he's doing fine," and I said, "broke up with him after he
    gets his ass beaten for you, that some kind of Hebrew thing?" and she said, "Oh
    shut up you asshole, I am so tired of hearing you talk about that," and I razzed
    her a little longer. Anyways, later in the month we had a project we had to do
    out of class, and it had to be with my desk partner she was mad, but she's a
    crazy A student and she asked me, "Well do you want to do the assignment at my
    house or yours?" and I said, "Well I am not allowed to have Jews at my house"
    and me and AJ started laughing, I was like, "Why don't you just do it?" and she
    said, "'cause you're not getting an A for my work," so we ended up going to her
    house well it's a typical Hebe home, with the 8 candle stuff and I knocked on
    the door and her mom answered, "Hi, are you Luke?" and I was like, "In the
    flesh," she said, "Come on in Cindy is in her room," and I looked around and saw
    all this Jew stuff and I sort of scoffed, anyway I went to her room and she's
    like, "Alright lets get started," and I was just looking around, "I don't think
    I'll be able to concentrate in this Yid hol,e" and she's like, "Well then I'll
    tell Mr. Deen that you didn't do anything," so I had to sit there and figure out
    the project with her.

    I wasn't really doing anything but nodding when she said something. While I was
    sitting there I was scoping her and thinking what it would be like to get a
    piece of Jew ass, I was thinking it the whole time I mean is there really
    anything wrong with using one for sex? I mean not dating just fucking? and I
    thought about that the whole time.

    The night after I went home I was looking at my ceiling and thinking the whole
    night on how to fuck Cindy, I was going over some ways and though well maybe
    I'll be like in the movies and act like I changed and then after I fuck her,
    just tell the bitch about it and break her little kick heart. LOL. I talked it
    over with Tom, AJ, and Rob, they all wondered why I wanted to fuck the Jew, but
    they knew she was hot and stuff. I decided to act like I didn't want to be a
    NNLR anymore and have like AJ and them act like I changed in front of her. Not
    to go into much detail, but it was a good plan to tap that ass.

    At school the next day I went over to her and was like, "How you doing?" She
    seemed a little surprised, "I'm alright," and then AJ walked by and we sorta
    gave each other this fake little mean look that we made sure she noticed. She
    was like, "Are you and AJ mad about something?" and I was like, "I don't know
    he's a dick," she goes, "I thought you guys were good friends?" and I'm like,
    "We were but the NNLR are starting to piss me off," and she's like "Is that so?"
    and I'm like, "Yeah I am thinking about getting out," and she's like, "That's
    good, maybe then you'll stop being such a prick." I wanted to say something but
    I restrained and continued the charade.

    It lasted much longer than that to her, and I'm not going to go into depth but
    in the next few weeks I made it look like I had gotten out of the NNLR's and to
    her I wasn't hanging out with them anymore well we had to do another project and
    I was like, "Let's do it at my house" and she's like, "I thought you weren't
    allowed to have Jewish people there?" I sorta gave a sad face and was like "I'm
    not like that anymore," which she thought was true. That night I had to
    rearrange my room take down all my party and NNLR emblems and stuff and I made a
    great effort to make it look like a typical room. When she came over she was
    like "Wow your house is nice," which it is since both my parents are business
    workaholics and I'm like "Thanks, it's alright." Well we got into the project
    and after it was done we started watching TV on the couch. We got into a deep
    convo about the NNLR and I had to say some bad things that it was hard to say
    and eventually when she was leaving I talked her into a date with me for
    Saturday, I was gonna kiss her but I didn't really feel like pushing it since I
    was hoping to get in those little kike panties this weekend anyway.

    As the week went on we talked in class and stuff until she probably thought I
    was a very tolerant ex-bigot that was pushed into joining the NNLR because of
    bad parenting and a need for acceptance. LOL. Not bad huh?

    As Saturday came along we went on our date and went to a real expensive place
    and ate then we went to a movie, and we held hands and walked around the mall, I
    could tell their was no way I was going to get in her pants on the first date
    for some reason and I was a little pissed, but I figured it will come
    eventually, the date ended that night after making plans for another and we went
    into a french kiss in front of her house. She went inside and I wiped off my
    mouth, damn I hated kissing the Jew, I just wanted to fuck her. LOL.

    We had two more dates before anything real sexual happened and that was when we
    were in my car outside her house after going to another expensive restaurant
    (damn Jews) and she gave me a decent blowjob in the car. I came all in her mouth
    and she swallowed every drop like a good Jew, we made plans for another date the
    next weekend and I had the feeling I was finally going to fuck my Jew.

    I picked her up and we went to see a movie, then after we went to eat and talk
    and junk like that you gotta go through to get laid, I talked her into coming to
    my house and I knew I was going to fuck her, well we got into it on the couch
    and she gave me another decent blow job and again swallowed like a good Jew.
    Then I got her into the bed by like fake tackling her after she stood up we
    started laughing and she's like "stop it" and I undid the buttons on her shirt
    and we started kissing. So much for stopping it, I got her bra off and sucked on
    her tits, then got her jeans off and was about to pull off her panties and she's
    like, "Stop it Luke!" and I stopped and looked up all sad faced like, "Why
    what's wrong?" and she said, "I never had sex before."

    I was rock hard, by the end of the sentence I had the opportunity to pop a Jew
    girls cherry I started acting all nice like "Well I don't care if you're a
    virgin you'll like it I promise," and she sat up and I kissed her and started
    talking about never doing it and eventually I got her to lay down through some
    good talking I might add and I took off her panties and finally got a glimpse of
    her bush which was pretty fine I might add, I started thinking about a condom,
    but then I was like are you stupid? Don't wear one, I mean she's probably not
    even thinking about that, and pulled off my underwear and prepared to put it in,
    then she asked about a condom and I said don't worry I'm sterile, LOL. I don't
    know why she believed me but she didn't press the issue.

    She looked a little scared but I wasn't really going to hurt her anyway in that
    fashion 'cause I just wanted to fuck the kike bitch. I don't have a monster cock
    like it seems everyone else in these stories have but I am very proud of my 7
    incher and I led it to her very very tight pussy. I mean I had fucked tight
    girls before but never a virgin, and I put it into her and she started like
    sorta startled moaning and when I reached the hymen her face was all like all
    closed up so I just rammed it in and busted the hymen, she screamed pretty loud,
    but then I start inching it in and she was moaning sort of, well I continued the
    pace figuring I'd fuck her again later and just went in and out till I came in
    her. After I was done I looked at her and she was like all sweaty even worse
    than me, and I don't know how much she enjoyed it, but she put her arm on me, I
    fucked her again like 40 minutes later and this time I felt her orgasm, she
    called her mom and said she was staying at a friend's, and then she fell asleep.

    I laid on the bed thinking about how to show her that not only had I just used
    her Jew body, but I was still a very loyal NNLR, so while she was sleeping I put
    my room (which is my entire basement) like it was before that night she came for
    the project, and I had my swastika flag over the bed and the Fuhrer and my SS
    posters and stuff back up, and I even put my swastika screen saver on, then I
    laid down next to her and dozed off.

    I woke up the next morning before her when it was light and decided on another
    thing to do so I left a note on the lampshade next to her all it said was
    "Thanks for the easy fuck last night, I did enjoy it, when you wake up please
    leave my room I don't want your Jewish bitch ass here longer than that. Claiming
    NNLR 4 Life" LOL.

    I sat in the living room and a little later I saw her walking on the side of our
    house where the basement is onto the sidewalk to walk home and she was like
    crying hard I mean like her face was so red. LOL. I loved it and the fact that
    she lives a 10 minute drive from me and she had to walk all red and stuff home.

    When I went to school on Monday I found out that she had asked Mr. Deen for a
    new seat and talked him into it and I got to sit my AJ which was cool as hell. I
    looked at her but she just sat there and didn't look back. I heard later from
    friends she had to go through therapy and all this stuff and her Dad like almost
    came after me with a gun when she got home that day, and I wish he would have
    I'd have dropped his ass with my .45 as soon as he stepped foot on my property.

    When I went to school on Monday I found out that she had asked Mr. Deen for a
    new seat and talked him into it and I got to sit my AJ which was cool as hell. I
    looked at her but she just sat there and didn't look back. I heard later from
    friends she had to go through therapy and all this stuff and her Dad like almost
    came after me with a gun when she got home that day, and I wish he would have
    I'd have dropped his ass with my .45 as soon as he stepped foot on my property .
