The Scream 3 of Blade Movies
Outside of detours to discuss Jawbreaker and last week’s 50th episode on The X Files: I Want To Believe,Trace and I have been on a homoerotic bender of late: a month ago, we tackled the homoerotic subtext of Interview With The Vampire, and the following week we discussed the homoerotic text of Alien: Covenant.
We’re checking into Marvel superhero territory with this week’s episode, which looks at all of the queerbaiting and gay panic that’s cooked into the third and final Blade film. In Trinity, Blade (Wesley Snipes) partners with Hannibal King (Ryan Reynolds) and Abigail (Jessica Biel), the illegitimate daughter of Whistler (Kris Kristofferson, who exits verrrrry quickly) to fight Hannibal’s evil ex (Parker Posey) and thwart her plan to use Dracula Drake (Dominic Purcell) to bring about an apocalypse.
It’s all about as ridiculous as you can imagine, despite the cute vampire Pomeranian.
