Blade seeks Nunchuk: Wesley Snipes wants Wii, work
Wesley Snipes, star of such films as Blade and To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar, wants a Wii. In fact, the actor -- a self-confessed non-gamer -- told MTV, "I want to de-virginize myself into the Wii," when interviewed during the Sundance film festival. (No, we didn't realize he was out of prison either.)
Clearly excited by the idea of finding a Wii (tip: try eBay, we hear they have a lot of listings), Snipes jokingly (we hope) remarked that he'd be up for making a movie about being the "Wii champion of the universe," saying that he "needed the work." We're pretty sure Fred Savage does, too. Hey, maybe the two could pull together for an unlikely team-up, and even more unexpected (nay, unwarranted) sequel to The Wizard.
Wesley, if you're reading this and you found a Wii, might we suggest a couple of games for you, based on your films? For Blade and Passenger 57, we'd recommend No More Heroes, since it prominently features a blade and was made buy the numerically monikered Suda51. Demolition Man has us thinking Boom Blox. Play those and you'll be well on your way to total de-virginization.

This reminds me of the conclusion of Marvel Zombies 3 for some reason.
I would like a Midnight Sons vidjea game A la Spiderman:Web of shadows except with better controlls if possible.
Booxatron @ Jan 20th 2009 3:56PM
Damn, am I that out of touch that I didn't even know there was a MZ3? The first two were out-of-control awesome, I'm gonna have to seek that out.

To hell with the Wii for just a moment, someone please tell me how this fellow made his way outta jail so soon.
Dr Jeckyl and Mr ESC. @ Jan 19th 2009 10:11PM
Duh he is Blade.
(Im not in touch with RL lately,she doesn't recieves my calls anymore and she placed a restrain order on me so why was he in jail again?)
Markez (Sandwich Eating Crew) @ Jan 19th 2009 10:21PM
Duh, the local vampire district court finally tried him for his crimes against undead kind. However they could only stake him down on lesser manslaughter charges so he got out early.
Iwa @ Jan 19th 2009 10:24PM
He's out on appeal.
Dr Jeckyl and Mr ESC. @ Jan 19th 2009 11:00PM
Wait Undead have rights? Oh shi- Louis,Zoey,Francis and Bill have some good splannin' to do.
KarlW @ Jan 20th 2009 1:23AM
I love how somebody who makes movies about jumping off of buildings shooting at vampires gets done for tax evasion.
Phoenix Wright would own Master Chief.
SimbaDogg @ Jan 20th 2009 6:26AM
i was about to say the same thing...out on appeal? Well, sucks for him regardless cuz he will do some prison time. just wondering if he'll actually end up doing the full 5 yrs which the judge threw at him.
Kweli @ Jan 20th 2009 10:21AM
I think i remember reading that they shortened his sentence because he trains cops in hand-to-hand combat/survival
Tyrannius @ Jan 20th 2009 10:13PM
Because Denzel Washington wrote a letter to the judge urging him to be lenient on Wesley Snipes. No, not really the reason he's out of jail at the moment, but Denzel did write a letter. So yeah, go fornicate yourself, Randy Nelson, Denzel has never written a letter for Fred Savage.
Eh @ Jan 19th 2009 10:09PM
wtf is with the glove hes wearing?
Dr Jeckyl and Mr ESC. @ Jan 19th 2009 10:13PM
Sorry Mr Snipes we couldn't find you a glove of the size of your hand but maybe if you use this kids size leather glove and place it in your hand like this nobody will notice.
deadpool @ Jan 19th 2009 11:06PM
that's a brother glove. y'all cant wear that shit too tight ya dig?
LaughingTarget @ Jan 20th 2009 10:32AM
He borrowed it from OJ.
Strategy_Panda (The Sandwich Poisoning Crew) @ Jan 19th 2009 10:13PM
Snipes doesn't want a Wii, he wants a "Sony Wii"
Also, I totally beat joystiq to the punch on this news... booyah!
The Dark Wayne @ Jan 19th 2009 10:14PM

Shmil @ Jan 19th 2009 10:36PM

Markez (Sandwich Eating Crew) @ Jan 19th 2009 10:43PM

The Dark Wayne @ Jan 19th 2009 10:46PM
huh, the things you miss
aj @ Jan 20th 2009 9:56AM
So was Rob Schneider.
That movie was a vortex of bad careers, wasn't it?
Strategy_Panda (The Sandwich Poisoning Crew) @ Jan 20th 2009 2:09PM
looks like three wrongs make a right....
BECAUSE THAT MOVIE WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!
PSN: Aggie_CEO @ Jan 19th 2009 10:16PM
so ok.......First he does 10 Straight to DVD movies.......
THEN he gets tax evasion charges.......
and now Want to make a Wii Movie!?!?
Joking or not he need to sit the fuck down.........
j.howlett @ Jan 19th 2009 10:16PM
a midnight sons movie would be nice
carg0 @ Jan 19th 2009 10:19PM
it's a shame the third one (trinity) all but destroyed that franchise...
*sigh
crashcarstar @ Jan 19th 2009 10:43PM
Actually, Fred Savage is doing plenty fine on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
futurebiblehero @ Jan 19th 2009 10:40PM
While an easy target, Fred Savage frequently directs episodes of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia. That's reason enough to leave Fred Savage the hell alone.
TwEE @ Jan 19th 2009 11:01PM
The first Blade was a pretty good comic/super hero movie that most people seem to forget about when talking about comic/super hero movies. Up until then there wasnt much eles. The first Batman and Superman movies were good and the first sequels were nice.. But I cant think of anything else..
Anywho I think they should start the franchise up again, but with a more cheesy blacksploitation vibe and less trying way to hard to be cool matrix vibe. They could have him fight Morbius the living vampire.. Id pay to see that.
Strategy_Panda (The Sandwich Poisoning Crew) @ Jan 19th 2009 11:05PM
he should fight Blackula
The Dark Wayne @ Jan 19th 2009 11:53PM
and then team up with booberry and frankenberry in the sequel to take down count Chocula
Strategy_Panda (The Sandwich Poisoning Crew) @ Jan 20th 2009 12:02AM
Jessica bowl better not be cast as frankenberry
eldee @ Jan 19th 2009 11:16PM
I just walked into the vancouver costco about 45 mins ago and there was a stack of at least 40 Wii's... what's this shortage everyone is talking about?
Strategy_Panda (The Sandwich Poisoning Crew) @ Jan 19th 2009 11:32PM
that's a good question
ice~ @ Jan 19th 2009 11:38PM
Why Nintendo is making it up I say!!!!! Conspiracy man up up and awayyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chin-Poh @ Jan 20th 2009 2:09AM
Since the Wii launched, I've only seen a couple on shelves in my area ever. Since this holiday season, I have seen zero Xbox 360s now and that's not surprising at all.
kobebryunt @ Jan 19th 2009 11:36PM
Pay yo damn taxes couch
Darkbhudda @ Jan 20th 2009 8:27AM
Maybe Mr Snipes should become a politician since they don't have to pay his taxes if they don't feel like it or "forget" to.
MrSpaceCowboy @ Jan 20th 2009 8:56AM
Thanks to Wesley Snipes in Passenger 57, I "always bet on black!"
MV @ Jan 20th 2009 9:09AM
You guys totally missed the chance to photoshop a Wii controller in there.
MrTroy @ Jan 20th 2009 9:39AM
Can someone please give Wesley Snipes Uwe Boll's email address. I'm pretty sure he can squeeze him in somewhere AND get him a Wii.
aj @ Jan 20th 2009 9:58AM
Snipes will forever be my hero for his completely insane defence at his trial. "I just didn't want to pay my taxes, is all." Didn't his lawyer even openly mock him at one point?
Maulok @ Jan 20th 2009 10:13AM
LOL! That headline reminded me of the SNL cartoon skit where Mr. T is trying to get work.
"stay in milk, drink your school, get 8 hours of drugs, and don't do sleep"
ZeitgeistXIII @ Jan 20th 2009 1:19PM
He just wants somebody to hire him so he can pay his back taxes and legal fees. He cant even afford adult gloves. Maybe someone should start up a website benefit for him. www.snipesneedsgloves.org Non profit so he can avoid the income tax.
