Blade seeks Nunchuk: Wesley Snipes wants Wii, work

by Randy Nelson { Jan 19th 2009 at 9:59PM }

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.

Catch the master thespian's landmark interview in full after the break.

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.

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

Strategy_Panda (The Sandwich Poisoning Crew) @ Jan 19th 2009 10:13PM

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.
