2 of the 3 years was probably assigned as penance for the Art of War. That's an hour and 40 minutes of my life I'll never get back.

And speaking of trinities, when I'm surfing channels, nothing will get me to flip to the next station faster than the mere sight any of the following:

Wesley Snipes
Adam Sandler
Paris Hilton

I liked Blade Trinity. It definitely wasn't a thinker, and Dracula sucked, and it seemed like Blade was only in it for like 15 minutes, but it was enjoyable. Basically because Ryan Reynolds is funny and Jessica Beil is hot.

Paris Hilton is useless, I definitely agree there.

But Snipes has some good stuff, like the first Blade movie, Demolition Man (Not a great movie, but he was good in it), and US Marshals.

And Sandlers old stuff, specifically Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison, is brilliantly funny, IMO.

It wasn't just that he didn't pay them but that he used various illegal and questionable schemes to avoid doing so.

Willie got rooked in a scam. His penalty was to pay off a lesser amount of money than he owed over 5 years. His stuff was all auctioned off to his buddies who promptly gave it back to him. Not really applicable here!

Exactly, what people dont realise is the blade series were actually documentaries, and the judge that sentenced him was actually a vampire, and they plan to kill while while in prison.

Jessica Beil saved that movie IMHO.
