Getting what you paid for.

Blade: Trinity was absolutely worth my matinee price. In fact, I probably would have paid full price to see it. I certainly will own it, warts and all. Yes, there were parts that were rushed, or ignored, or contrived. This it be expected. I wanted some cool fight scenes, cool music, and the atmosphere of the Blade movies. And B:T delivered that. Jessica Biehl was actually hotter than expected, and Ryan Reynolds less annoying than expected. I don't mean to sound queer or nothing, but DAMN.

Dren proved to be the hero of the day in a climactic battle that took the lives of over 2/3 of the party, and a summoned celestial elephant. In a moment of pure cinematic brillance, Dren launched a feeblemind at the evil cleric we were commissioned to kill, and Heatray oblidged us by rolling a 1 for his save. I was prepared to pull a completely evil maneuver, but it depended on the death of Ebert, the hardy dwaven cleric, and I was convinced that I couldn't take him. So, Dren will continue to play the hero. For now. Until then, I got to bring out the scheming, yet cowardly and self-serving nature of the character, without making anyone want to kill him!

This is my last full week of contracting work. I'll put a few days in next week, but take time offf to visit the family and probalby to prepare for New Year's Day.

Had I known Parker Posey was in it, I would have gone.
