You know what? You're right. When 2 movies cost about $100 M combined to make, make about $290 Million dollars in the theatre, in addition to another $100 M in video rental/sales, it's a "loser".

How did I not see this before? $390 Million dollars for a 2 piece film franchise, marketed to a small demographic, never intending to be or being billed as a blockbuster is definately a "loser".

god man i never said it was a loser to i said it didn't make huge amounts of money, it did make some though and including vhs/dvd sales just makes it look more but i could add the same to any other series like can u imagen what shrek 2 will do? so lets not go there. plus the movies series realy got a little more than double the cost which tons of movies do so dont think its the greatest. any way i dont care any more, u no what i'll just say sure and shake my head to what ever u say becuase u always just twist my words like stormy said.

Blade is definetly a hero. if he has powers and helps people, he's a hero
does bat-man have powers? no he doesn't but he is stilled called a super hero so just think before talking. plz and thnx

well im srry u took it that way but i put all movies through a high standered kinda lvl. so i would understand that u might think that ment it made 20$ but i ment it was a super loser compaired to tons of "super hero" movies, which it did just not cat-women so far. but u wouldn't no much about high standereds since u seem to like independent cinema, but thats ok your intitled to your opinion. plus nice work on the editing of my own words there, i've only seen 1 guy do thats before but he was in grade 4, u must realy be intouch with your child hood or your just bad at cumbacks so u do that shit, dont worry i can do it to i just have enough maturity not to.

Why are people still arguing about these crappy movies? Who cares whether or not he's a super hero? The movies are still repetitive and boring. Plus they have vampires in them, and they're the same, crappy homoerotic ones. (except in part two, they had some pretty neat looking vampires, at least when their mouths got all wacky, other then that they still looked lame and boring).

However, C-man is right, the movies were technically a success, they did make quite a bit of money and are rather popular.

Of course it's not going to do as well as "Hulk", "Spiderman", and "Batman". People grew up on those characters! Nobody knew "Blade" even existed before the movie rolled around! How naive/ignorant can you be, man?

High standards, for one, are subjective and personal. I consider myself to be someone of a cinematic elitist, granted, but I don't limit myself to any particular genre. I am allll over the map.

Lastly, as for my paraphrasing, I was basically summing up your post for you. That was me being nice about it. I don't know what is more amusing, that you claim to be 20, that you were on the the internet, in forums in 4th grade, or that you're sitting here trying to say that I am the delinquent one.

well i knew blade at a small age he was in tons of spider-man and other comic books, and he was in some spider-man eps. still i agree that he was pretty un known. and no i wasn't in no 4th grade forum i was on a certain games forum and there was a little kid i was getting in a fight with and he did the same lame ass thing. and u ceep picking at the fact u dont think im 20 which is kinda sad, becuase i am and u dont seem to be able to accept it. well w/e i can be 3 years old if u want i dont care.srry it took me awhile to reaply but i was gone for 2 weeks in B.C.

Jeez I thought this thread was dead shock

nope, not when i get back lol.

Blade=Super HERO. Day Walker majorly rules

Cinemaddictions was acting like a jerk in this thread 🙁

Bullshit. I was proving a point.

You where acting like a jerk while doing it also.

Apparently you don't know anyone with any real conviction towards what they believe. Besides, even if I were, what's the big deal? Some people need a little straight talk to understand where one is coming from.

ok

lol your right he was an ass, but anytime u tell him he was being rude or calling someone stupid he denies anything like that. but w/e

I deny being an ******* to people who are too stubborn to listen? I don't think so; I'd shout it from the rooftops.

dude remember the time u said something like me and stormy had a inteligeance lvl of a kid i think, then when stormy asked if you just called him stupid and u totally backed down and said no you didn't even though the sentence clearly stated that you were calling us stupid. you always do shit like that. but no worries man i dont care how u act, its fun to have arguments with, other wise i would be board on this forum.
