I completely agree Rod, that they should start over with an unknown to portray Blade. There's plenty of history in that original "Tomb Of Dracula" comic series, that the potential to do even just a stand-alone (with spin-off films) could be pulled off. I know Marvel wants all their newer films to all fit together, but personally I think that a franchise of these characters would do well apart from the "Avengers Initiative". If I remember correctly, the only Marvel superhero to ever cross over into "Tomb Of Dracula" was Dr. Strange. I do know a "Nightstalkers" film (with Ryan Reynolds and Jessica Biel) had been planned IF "Blade: Trinity" had been a box office success. There's even a teaser scene on the dvd showing them crashing a casino hunting werewolves. But obviously a "Nightstalkers" film isn't going to happen.

I thought Wesley Snipes fit well in the roll of Blade but being as he's not really a horror suspense actor, probably Samuel Jackson would have been good (at the time) and they could have indeed made it more gothic.  But pretty much, they'd have to start over and find a new actor (maybe an unknown this time?).

I'm not familiar with "Necroscope", but as far as vampire movies go, I would like to see a "Tomb Of Dracula" adaptation. It was sort of done with the "Blade" films and TV series, but honestly, there really can't be much of a comparison. The comics were very gothic in tone, and "Blade" was high-energy/action (if you didn't see it). The Blade franchise wasn't horrible (I never watched the series), but the comics were only used as source material for character names. If a director had the vision to bring the original comics to the big screen, I think it would work, especially incorporating other Marvel horror comics characters into it over a course of several films. It would be interesting to have Blade, the Nightstalkers, Deacon Frost, and of course Dracula brought together into a well written, gothic piece. Maybe even have one of the films be a lead-in to a "Werewolf By Night" film, and possibly "Frankenstein Unleashed".

Man I wish I could get my machine from back East, it's an original Arabian Knights model from the 60's...just sitting in my folks basement covered in fake plants and Good House keeping magazines.  Man I miss it...

Misery loves company, so contact your partners in grime from the night before.  Suggest Bowling, Margueritas & Mexican food!  Spicy food to wake up your senses; bowling to wipe your fear of noise, and to make sure your muscles still work.  Tequila has magical healing powers, just remember when to stop.

Coffee Milkshakes by the Pitcher!

In a blender combine:

- 8 oz Espresso (cold)

- 8 oz Rum (light or amber)

- Fill blender with Vanilla Ice Cream

- Blend Away!

-maybe whipped cream with a dash of your fave liqueur on top(?)

-Share With your Favourite Person!  (if your date isn't looking like this....something else is wrong!)

Nice! I should scratch off some rust from mine, before paint it.

The car ended up looking really nice and it only cost him $180! Nice.

Yep, you're right : I haven't seen a van version of the 2cv around for years...and the last one I saw was only a half one (just the back of the car) without wheels in some kind of meadow with some skinny goats wandering around !

Wow !!! I'm in love with that 2cv !!!

Vespa 150 super 1966, and my trusty citroen 2cv, which is as draughty and noisy as a motorbike.
