We have this thing that we do in the office where we post photos of theīirthday celebrant on the wall. It also shows me who actually remembers my birthday. Social media and I are okay, but we're not THAT close. I don't like letting a social media site remind people of my birthday and telling them to greet me. Most people publish or post their birth dates on their social media pages (Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, etc). That, or nobody fusses over it for you to actually also fuss over it. But having a big fuss over it is something I don't do anymore. I am grateful for another year added in my life span. A few birthdays with not so good vibes will do that to you.ĭon't get me wrong. There was a time when I'm one of those people who get really excited for their birthdays to come. Blame it on "busy-ness" or maybe just plain lazy. Why I'm making this post on June, I'm not really sure. The Blade character is iconic and Snipes was born to play him, and this movie is a 2 hour proof-of-concept for Norrington being the greatest director nobody ever talks about.May was my birth month. not surprising at all when the first movie of the trilogy this strong (though I pretend Blade 2 and 3 never happened) Watch this movie if you haven't already, especially if you love the 90s aesthetic or if you enjoy vampire-related movies/TV shows. It's not surprising Snipes loved the Blade character so much as to later method act and speak to cast/crew in character. The performances he gets out of his actors are great too. Norrington's choice of shots, the way scenes are lit is masterful. Certain special effects haven't aged well (and are in desperate need of a remaster!) but aside from that, this movie is great visually. It is a massive shame we couldn't see more from Stephen, but at least we have Blade. or if David Fincher stopped with the thrillers and did straight action. Director Stephen Norrington is what Chris Cunningham (Aphex Twin videos) would have been if he dropped the weirdness and went into more conventional movies. Blade is one of my favourite action movies of all time, up there with Die Hard and Predator. arguably Snipes' most impressive performance to date and lots of fun martial arts fight sequences involving swords and guns - not to mention the unique and timeless soundtrack.
