...but still. that was ultra fucking stupid. none the less harry, you have made this film sound almost intriguing. almost, something to be taken seriously. i hated the original, but this sounds like it might be a bit different. i'll take your word (even if you are a complete wierdo sometimes)...

I'm glad you enjoyed it, but the analogy was pushed to the limit. I am looking forward to Blade 2, but will reserve my judgement as I have recently come to the conclusion that the original Blade has a terrible structure, more intent on looking cool that being evenly constructed. It is difficult to watch because of 80% of the dialogue. There are some wonderfully quotable moments, Frost: "you're a fucking maniac!" but then there's Whistler's hammy use of 'fuck' and it's variables along with the general overuse of them from all characters but Blade. N'Bushe Wright's annoying turn also is a problem. Her pathetic. "I'll just cure myself. I did it before and I'll do it again." or something to that effect, indicates a strained defiance that is painfully embarrassing to watch. If it has the same screenwriter, I will not expect much but your metaphorical orgasm certainly bodes good signs.

Harry, I don't normally read the talkback,I apreciate it's existance but it just seems so bloody juvenile and immature. (I'd never heard of the term or subculture called Fan Boys until I discovered this site and I must say that I detest them with every ounce of bile I produce in my prostigious stomach. Spoilt brats who know nothing about the process,craft or artistry of film making (probably can't even focus an automatic focus slr), pontificating with blind stupidity and childish arrogance with....arrrrgh!! I can't finish,I see too much red.) However I had to say that I loved this review and think it's up there as one of your best. Your love of movies and apreciation of them for what they are and aren't are so very similar to mine (and by coincidence we're both `big boned' red heads!) You tell it like it is and I relate. I was pissing myself laughing at your review above, I was going to wait for DVD for this movie but no longer. Well done and thankyou An admirer from Oz

YOU TOOK THE METAPHOR WAY TOO FAR!!!!!!!!!! You make me laugh, but this is the kind of stuff that critic at EW talked about your book being. Now, as a fan, I liked your book (quick read...two days on and off) but this is just nasty. Like your Battlefield Earth review, where I just wanted to see you cap on a movie big time, but instead you talk about shit in a toilet. Yow! I like you Harry, you just seem to want to piss people off sometimes.

Well, Harry likes this movie. Cool. But beyond that, I've been looking for a new way to review movies for the new milennium. I mean, "two thumbs up" is so last century. Gimmee a break, grandpa. Well, I believe that Harry has broken through with the new hype. "This BLADE II movie really licked the audience's pussy! I give it Two Tongues Up!"

Dude. . .I dunno what to say to you. But the fact that people ranting about movies makes you want to puke, certainly shows something about how weak of a human being you are. Oh, and this movie will rock. Funny review, Harry.
Harry, i hate to join the chorus, but you're killin' me.
by Sterling Wolfe
Mar 17th, 2002
07:30:21 PM
Harry, I love you, man. But you're really killing me here. Same reasons others have expressed better than I. Harry, it's not about the sex. But it's the approach. I don't want to be embarrassed to read aicn like it's a bunch of dorks sitting around with their hands in their pants, who have never seen or spoken to a woman. Harry, please, man. You're killing me, along with surely many others. See you at Dea's surely wonderful show, hopefully, on Wednesday, but man, Harry, leave this "you" behind and you will be doing a great number of people a big favor. The cons of this completely over the top stuff outweigh the pros, and it just sounds desparate, and unintelligent, and IMHO completely obfuscates any point you'd wish to make. Like watching a dad throw a porn birthday party for his horrified daughter. It's creepy, Harry. It's creepy.

Is gone now. And I guess along with it Harry's chance at a pulitzer in film criticism. I never thought I would read a positive (it was positive, right?) review of a film that would leave me nauseous, and I think of myself as a pretty crude dude. At least we don't have to worry about Harry running for office. And I suppose it could have been worse. He could have been reviewing Michael Moore's new book . . .

seriously, man, that was one helluva bad review. it wasn't EVEN a review. generally, your reviews are laced with the occasional grammatical error, and are written in a sort of stream-of-consciousness kind of way, which is certainly not in any way similar to other critic's printed reviews, BUT what i like about your reviews is that you generally, very often, make at least ONE REALLY GOOD POINT. which is more than i can say about most reviewers, whose reviews sound good, but are often quite hollow. but this review here, this was just gross. strange and gross. Massawrym (is that how you spell it?) wrote a very good REVIEW of Blade 2. i enjoyed it. this, however, just made me wretch.

You know, I visit this site regularly, but I rarely "talk back". This review compelled me to speak up. Harry, this review was down right embarassing. I don't know if you are trying to be "cool" or whatever, and I realize you're not a professional journalist, but think before you type. I'm looking forward to BLADE 2 as much as the next guy, but reviews like yours make me wonder. What was the point of writing like that? To shock people? To talk like your a friend of mine? It's one thing to use slang and curse words in a web site review. It's a whole other thing to write pornography and pass it off as a film review. I think you should reevaluate your writing style and try, TRY to be a bit more professional. How do you expect anyone to take you seriously if you don't even take yourself seriously? L8r
So you're saying you liked the movie, right?

Sure, plenty of jerk-offs are going to come at you both barrels for your review, but man ... this is the first review of yours I've read that has been captivating. Not because you equated the flick with licking pussy, but because your enthusiasm was contagious and you conveyed it just so. I hope the movie has half the power of that little gem. It could be construed as juvenile, but it's a very good sign when a flick (a sequel of all things) can create such a response from someone who sometimes does froth at the mouth for certain movies, but never in such a way. Any doubt I had about Blade 2 is wiped away, and you've done us all a great disservice by pumping us up so much. Hopefully Del Toro will keep your promise. That was solid writing. Sometimes some good old fashioned good intentioned gratuitiousness is healthy. And Blade 2 sounds very healthy to me - a movie that may finally involve the audience in every sensory way it can.

As a film critic, you make a really lousy pornographer. I don't get offended easily, but that was just fucking disgusting, hostile, ugly, embarrasing and stupid. Roger Ebert is friendly with a lot of film makers. He never writes that kind of shit. Between your sycophantic droolings, your grotesque sexual allusions and your childish bashing of films like 'Gosford Park' you're starting to sound more and more like elfkiller8 or someone. Just grow up a little.

Why does everyone seem to be in a race of political correctness?........will the winner get a prize?, whats happened to the free speach mentality where reviews such as this were held up as shining examples of our ability to comunicate whatever we damn well wanted to a world wide audience. Brilliant review Harry.......its what reviews should be.........not spoiler filled accounts of plot and story, but metaphorical allusions to the experience we can expect to have as a viewer of the film in question. For crying out loud Blade 2 isnt forrest gump or driving miss fucking dasy.......its an r rated action horror, and as any film studies student should know, the structure and appeal of horror films and pornography are almost identical. As such it is perfectly reasonably to use one to illistrate the other...........shame shame shame on all you morality watchdogs, as someone once said, political correctness is one of the great evils in the world....why? because it belongs in the category of mind controll.........I strongly suggest that if you found Harrys review offensive you seriously think of joining some kind of organised religion.........you'll be much happier, but it's just a suggestion...........well done harry

Good movie or not, Harry's review is just that. His excitement for and about this film got him to the point of equating it with a sexual act. SO FUCKING WHAT??? Are we so Victorian in our mores that any graphic text on the subject of sex causes us to faint or feel short of breath? Oh, wait, I forgot these reactions are coming out of talk back, where you have to set your I.Q. back thirty points or so. Okay, I'll simplify. Harry good guy. Him get excited about film. Him compare film with clit-licking. Him not evil, just excited. Wrongness in eye of beholder. Hey, Harry, I forget, did people get this flabbergasted about Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back? Anyhow, my opinion on the subject of whether or not Harry erred is this; No, he did not. It's his house, and he's the master. He can do whatever the hell he wants. Anyone who doesn't like it can take their toys and go home. In fact, I'd enjoy reading talk back a hell of a lot more if you prudish numbnuts WOULD go home. Yes!

The film is over the top, but that was the point. I think Guillermo Del Toro did what he set out to do, but don't go there expecting a solid plot or a realistic look. I really enjoy seeing world premieres with the cast/crew in attendance to get an idea of what they were actually trying to accomplish. Wesley Snipes should know that his film will make plenty of cash, but I actually wouldn

This guy is either completely whacked out of his mind on something, simply lost it all together or is simply a pathetic creep and has been all along. What a train wreck. I can't imagine what was going on in his head when he typed...that. Visions of himself as Pacino in Scarface or sitting around a table with a bunch of montley scumbags in a Tarantino movie. He is sitting there typing this...sub verbal moronic obsenity with his tongue hanging out, sweating like a pig...a mirror no where in sight and you know what he thinks? He thinks it is going to come out looking cool. He has more people hitting his website for the first time than ever before because of his book, posts a review of the next Star Wars movie on one page...and then does this. First time visitors...maybe even some powerful people in the industry come to visit the site for the first time...look at the cartoon of him shooting a gun in the upper left hand corner then look at the creepy as hell caricture on the book gif...then they read something so entirely offensive it has even the most anti-social and warped fan boys 'holding their hat' and any vestige of what remained on a female viewership signing off for good, children confused and upset, parents furious. What we see here is the dark side of a culture...the saddest aspect of a cruel stereotype not fit for the Springer Show. We wanted him to surprise us and show his critics wrong. Hell, folks here in Austin were proud to have him. What a fool, what a clown. What makes a man, dignity, courage, honor, respect? What is Harry? A gnome....a mean...angry...gnome. If Harry is indeed a man or even just what passes these days for a decent human being...We will be expecting a REAL heartfelt apology by this evening. :(

... not that I'm bitching about your right to write em how you see em (I've defended that in the past) but considering that practically every legitimate reviewer in the nation has thus far completely IGNORED Del Toro's BLADE 2, I was kinda hoping for some serious in-depth discussion here, and a little more info about the flick itself. So, OK, can Moriarty give this one a whirl? Thanks!

Passion for a movie or a director is an admirable quality. But Harry, someone ought to wash your mouth out (or rap your hands really good with a ruler). Being dirty for the sake of being dirty is a tired old routine, and incredibly juvenile as well. The real feat to conveying passion felt for a movie or a director is keeping your pants zipped up the entire time, Sr. Knowles. But then again, what can you do when you have one hand on the keyboard and another on your crotch?

I only got through about two paragraphs of this, and now I'm completely pissed off, since when I do actually see this movie (which I had been quite looking forward to, actually) I am afraid I am going to have fucking flashbacks of this deathless prose appearing in my head at random moments, moments that will wrench me out of the film as I sit, spastically crossing my legs until my thigh bones break and trying to control my heaving gorge. Don't get me wrong, I like being blown as much as the next chick, but this was utterly, utterly gross. "wet-chinned thighsplitter" - urgh! "joy button" - nyargh! Call the police - I've just been raped by prose (well, I think it was prose, though it may have been wearing a ski-mask). Excuse me while I bugger off to claw my own eyes out so I never have to read ANYTHING like this EVER again.

Hero worship is a dangerous thing Harry. How many times have people had to listen to you anally pleasing directors that did not think you were a fat geek, only for us to find out that their films were poor? Try a new approach, one that does not see you stuck in the pockets of Hollywood, and fluffing for the film crews.

That review really takes the cake however. It wasn't just bad, it was creepy. I don't blame the female talk-backers for vomiting after reading it!

Cunniling0 - Latin for "he who licks the volvo." Nice review Harry, I had to read three times to finally "get there'. "It's kinda like "Bang The Drum Slowly" only in this case, the Drum's a chick. What many of these reviewers fail to realize is that this review was actually INTERESTING! I mean, which movie would you rather see? 'The film was a caucophony of pathos and religious fervor. Where in the characterizations drew deep from an emotional core to portray reality in a harsh yet brilliant light." or "You're the clit. The director is the tongue. And the tongue KNOWS how to eat clit." Usually, I'm not big on your reviews Harry. I hate all the preamble on how buying that box of jujubes at the consession stand reminded you of your first bicycle without training wheels which put you in mind of your childhood as you watched "Field of Dreams 2: GOOOOAAAL!" but at least in this one, there's a physicality about the review. Some people will be repulsed. Some will be enticed. But everyone's gonna remember it. Good job.

First things first, the review was awful. Not for the actual language. No, it's teh mentality and childish "oooh, aren't I naughty" nature behind it. It was childish, immature and eally just unimaginative. I can hear this tired crap from preteen Eminem wannabes on the street. This has nothing to do with political correctness. Let's get one thing straight-The First Amendment is a two-way street. harry's entitled to spew his Al Goldstein pap... and we're allowed to say he's full of shit. Seems freedom of speech has been co-opted by the irresponsible and immature, a rallying cry for the uneducated and ignorant to shock for the sake of shock. Freedom comes with a responsibility, as well as actually having something to say. By all means, say what you want, but don't get all pissy if someone diasagrees with you and start saying "your opinion violates my right to free speech." Is it possible for the fan nation to rise above this puerile nonsense? After Moriarty's blatant grudge with James Gunn ( note-the cartoon was bad, so the movie looks pretty damned faithful, in that regard), the less than circumstantial evidence-based bashing of AOTC and now this low rent Henry Miller diatribe passed off as a movie review, I highly doubt it. fan"BOY" indeed. Still and always, The Mick

Rule 1: Don't write a review that is so vulgar, that to read it would inflict wounds upon the eyes. Harry, you really need to STOP writing meandering crap and write real reveiws.....you know....ones that tell how good or bad the movie is....perhaps even break down and tell how good or bad the sound/costumes/camera work, etc is. But then again. That would be a good review, not this piece of crap you wrote for us.

What's wrong with a review that uses the same erotic imagery inherent in the vampire myth to get you pumped for the film? A VAMPIRE film. You people have no imagination, and your criticism barely masks your low self esteem and presumably unattractive appearance. Luckily the world has a few Harrys because if it didn't, we'd all be a bunch of frigid librarians.

No, actually I was not offended by your review. I just wish it had told us a good deal more about the film. Like how well actors perform in it, how good the story is, how good the SFX are, how good the script is, yadda-yadda-yadda. You know, the usual. Please try to remember us simple filmfans next time who don't care for someone waxing metaphoric over a film they really LOVE to the point of (intellectual) orgasm. It doesn't really help us know whether or not WE would enjoy it. There are all kinds of sexual activity that result in orgasm. How should we know if this kind is what we'd like? ***** And for heaven's sake, would someone please tell me why the studio felt they HAD to bring back the Whistler character? Goddammit, let Blade move on with his life of fighting vampires or get a new mentor/sidekick. I am so SICK of this oh-he-really-die SHIT.

The only hope you have is that for the few days Father Geek's out in LA with Harry, he's letting up on his job. I hate assholes who spoil good movies and don't let people know they're going to...

Well, that was interesting. I'll be straight with y'all and say right up front that I had zero interest in seeing "Blade II" to begin with, as I'm not into goth/vampire/black-clad alternateen horseshit. No offense, anybody; it's just not my thing. However, having read this transcript of Harry busting a nut into his bermuda shorts, I must say that my interest in seeing this movie is now LESS than zero, if such a thing is even possible. Now hey, maybe this review really spoke to some of you. To me, it was simply another example of Harry giving his friends props. It's kind of like LOTR. Y'know, I'd probably love that movie even more if I'd gotten to go visit the shoots and the sets and hobnob with the filmmakers. Go figure. Now I'm not going to speculate about Harry's sex life because (a) it's none of my damn business despite his best efforts to let us all know about it with his droolings about "kitten", and (b) it's probably better than mine. Hey, anybody can get laid when he has money practically falling out of his ass. No skin off my nose, either way. I'll say this, though, in closing: if Harry wants to try to write movie reviews that'd actually get Larry Flynt's dick up again, that's his call. The bottom line is that it's remarkably funny to see a movie review getting its own reviews. What's better than seeing a self-absorbed movie critic get verbally blasted in the nuts?

Harry can write his reviews any way he wants. You don't like it? Stop coming to the site, you bunch of idiots? Or maybe, just maybe you enjoy hating Harry. It gives your life meaning. In which case ... well, who am I to take away your purpose? Harry, don't listen to these morons. You write what you what when you want how you want. There are an awful lot of jealous people in the world who wish they could have turned THEIR hobby into a career.

That's the most disgusting/embarrasing review I've ever read. It totally makes me not want to see the movie. Harry, if you're going to write this garbage, you'd better post an 18 years and older Enter/Exit sign and throw in some penthouse scans for the adults. I hope whatever drugs you were on when you wrote it were excellent, because you've lost a lot of credibility with a lot of people today.

Harry, bad review. It made no sense and wasn't funny. Swear words and juvenile talk about oral sex stopped being funny to me somewhere around 6th grade. Blade II, was it any good, did it move, how were the visuals, how did the Reapers come off? The previous talkbacker was correct, Blade II has been ignored by the major media outlets. AICN is supposed give comprehensive coverage to genre projects that the mainstream media gives short shrift to because it's not what they consider serious fare. Harry, you've been going on about a Blade II for months , then when you finally review it we get this pathetic attempt to be shocking. I'm no prude and I'm not easily offended but there is one thing i find highly offensive: The poorly written sex fantasies of a 30 year old who should no better. I'd guess you would describe next years HULK as being comparable to being gang raped by Mike Tyson.

A review like this is why I read your reviews. This is what separates you from the other critics. Reminds me of your Battlefield Earth review. Creative and original. Don't listen to the haters who want you to conform, keep up the twisted and entertaining and interesting technique. If they don't like it, they can read someone else's review. I will say though that sometimes I get bored by the what you did before seeing the movie sections of some of your reviews, but I can deal with it as long as you start pumping out more strange analogies.

Blade 2 looks like a kick-ass movie and I can't wait to see it, but you're review had nothing to do with that. I dare you to actually write an objective review on a film, i dunno, say like a real writer would! Quit the name dropping. That review in EW pretty much sums up my opinion of you. BTW - Let's be honest...have you even kissed a girl, let alone gone down on one?

When one watches a Michael Bay Motion Picture you get the sensation that Bay knows how to fuck ass better than any director in the biz. His films pummel you with brute masquline strength. Your anus opens wide and then tightens when the full force and width of his celluloid assault masterfully pounds you into submission. With each over the top moment quick cut edit and throbbing musical movement makes you his willing bitch. You want to turn around and gaze in awe at the genius that resides behind his enormous and knowing eyes. But as you do he quickly slaps you in the back of your head forcing you to stare directly ahead and away form his brilliant supper nova like talent .And he pounds you more and enters you ever deeper he is like a thermobaric bomb detonating in your ass. You want to stare at his glory.. alas he will not let so you bite the red ball in your mouth tighter as he.....

by TWan
Mar 18th, 2002

BUT not an intentional miss, at least not yet. confused? i live in Canada and i dont know how the rating system works in theatres in the U.S., but if a movie is rated R, the theatres give it either an AA rating, or flat out R. if its R, then NO one under the age of 18 can go see it. I am 16. I am now starting to believe that, because of Blade 2's nature, it will be given the title of R above any other. I have been waiting for this movie since the VERY first rumors surfaced and to not be able to see it in all its glory makes me want to puke. it seems as tho i will have some serious sneaking action to attend to... the 'R' rating would also be a stupid idea because the sheer amount of money the movie will lose due to the lack of teenage viewers will be astonishing. I know no one out there can change this fate, (anyone?....didnt think so...) i just thought i should let all the other victims (yes, VICTIMS!) of this tragedy know that they are not alone... ...

Of course it's Harry's right to write whatsoever he likes, and in so doing reveal himself as the kind of an asshole no one likes.

"A Beautiful Mind" review. This movie started off good.I was impressed by Russell Crowe's performance.It was so good it felt like a hot girl pulled down my pants, got down on her knees and pleasured me.It felt,I mean it was, so good.Oh,oh...oh yeah... oh yes...Russel Crowe's first half performance!!!!!...oh, oh,oh my god,I think I'm going to lose it...RUSSELL CROWE'S 1ST HALF PERFORMANCE!!!!!!!! OH YES!!!!!!!! Now then,as the movie went along,the chemistry between Crowe and Jennifer Connelly kept the movie moving strong.It was so good,it was like being at an orgy. An all nude,supermodel filled orgy where the supermodels were doing it with each other.And I'm naked too,and getting in on the action.Hmmmmmmm....ohhhhh... Crowe and Connelly's chemistry...yes,oh yes.Touch me there.But this movie fell apart in the 2nd half,and failed to recapture it's strong promise it had in the 1st half.It was like if you're a 17-year old and you're going to get some for the 1st time,and you start doing it with this hot girl,and it feels so good,and you're going at it and going at and then you start going at it too hard,and then you go too far and the girl stops, yells at you,puts on her clothes and leaves! Wait...don't go,baby! Get back here!!! Don't leave!!!!!!!!!!!!

Am I offended by this review...no. I'm no prude so sex talk (or swearing) doesn't make me cover my ears. With that said, this has to be the most sophomoric, incoherent, nonsense "review" I've ever read. One thing that has always turned me off about this site is the inability for individuals to write reviews without cussing like drunken sailors. Do you think it's impressive? I stopped thinking swearing was cool in high school, Harry. You know, you have this blue box to the right here talking about your God-like power to delete people for being "jerkwad losers"...well, I wish I had a delete button for you and your lack of common sense and class. Films are amazing creations of a persons imagination, and I love a great film as much as the next fan - but your oral sex analogy is off the page ridiculous. It's something a 14 year old would write, then giggle about as his friends read it. I think it's time for those of us who appreciate real reviews from real movie fans (not fanboy industry-insiders) to take our valuable time elsewhere. Goodbye!

I agree with Harry. This movie does suck. I think most of the talkbacks miss his point. Harry likes his friend too much to just say the film sucked. So instead he went on this pornographic analogy to make the point. The whole review can be translated into "This movie sucked so bad I had to eat five tubs of buttered popcorn to get through it.

Jabba's prediction of what I'd write about Harry's r
by gds@ucmc
Mar 19th, 2002
01:00:30 AM
I just wanted to acknowledge that the "what Upcomigmovies.com would say" thing Jabba wrote was, quite frankly, quite clever. Admittedly, I don't find myself reading other people's "takes" on my writing style often, so maybe I am a bit prone to being fascinated by it, but I had to seriously think about it, thinking "wait a second... I didn't write that, did I?" Hmmm. I hope I'm not *that* predictable. Gah. Anyway, if I was supposed to be flattered by the mimickry, I was. Thanks. Now, as to Harry's review of Blade II... I don't really have anything to say, because I haven't seen it yet. I have, however, read the script, and I was surprised that Harry lavished all the credit for the film on Del Toro, because I thought it was one of the best action scripts I've read... ever. In particular, the Whistler/Scud banter reads as very funny... you *want* to see Kris Kristofferson saying these lines. Thus far, I've been a bit underwhelmed by what I've seen of Blade II... none of the teasers, trailers, images, etc. have wowed me the way that trailer for the first film did, or as you might know if you read my site a lot, *many* trailers, of all varieties, sometimes wow me. Of course, teasers are designed to wow you. That's why they're called teasers. They tease you into thinking an ultimately unsatisfying movie is worth working an hour or three of your day job for. The irony is that some of the best films have the worst trailers (my theory is that distributors with quality product on their hands feel they don't have to work as hard). Anyway, that's all off the subject, and given for free to the visitors of another guy's site. I must be feeling generous today. Or maybe I just figure getting some of my own writing out here on a well-trafficked TalkBack will win over a few more fans to a site I love working on. Geez, that sounds so contrived. The truth is... I just saw my site's name and thought "someone mentioned me!" Neat! Wee! Five years later in this crazy Internet business, and all of it still amazes me. What a small world this has become. To be reading something you think you have no relation to, and see yourself mentioned, and to be so amazed, you just have to respond. And a few hundred words later, here I am. There you go.

Having barely recovered from the shudders of ecstasy the Blade 2 premiere has brought me to, this review was a nice attempt to try to get me there again, but Guillermo has spoiled me for anyone else Harry. This is your most right on review since your Cameron Diaz's swirling ass review. Your review is like a well placed clue in a thriller and as soon as the unbelievers see this film they will understand, go ahh, and layback and enjoy.

I think Big Red's mentioned it in at least 4-dozen reviews, if you ever paid attention. And whoever said TalkBackers have the power and not Harry... you're an idiot too. Almost all the troll talkbackers here are idiots, and they don't have half the connections and advanced infor that Harry has. I'd call that some power. Or at least some means of keeping on the pulse of Hollywood. Moreso that all you asses. Why do you all come here if you hate it so much anyway? Really? The man gave you plenty of warning, and you know he does sick shit like this most of the time. You complaining babies are either mongoloid idiots or annoying masochists.

My favorite talkback ever was for a cool news post two years ago about a possible Transformers movie. Everyone just seemed to band together with love for that project. It was great: talkbackers shared memories of childhoods spent playing with Transformer toys, thoughts on what the movie would look like, and who would be their dream actors to do the voices. There were even some talkbackers that were setting up trades of taped episodes of the tv series. I might be wrong, but I don't remember there being any negative posts on that article. Reading through a talkback like this one just makes me long for times when geeks have all been on the same page about a project. I miss the happy times, guys.

...the thing I remember about that Transformers TalkBack (from late '99, if I recall correctly...) was one poster who had this pretty sweet idea for a teaser trailer for a live-action TF flick. It involved a BMW-commercial-style long shot of two cars racing each other down a long country road (like the Autobahn, perhaps,) then a tree crashes down on the road in front of them, and instead of swerving or crashing into it, the two cars immediately transform into their robot "selves", hop over the thing, run a few more steps, then transform back into cars and race past the camera. I still think that is one hell of a clever idea. Hell, even if the movie never gets made, I'd give anything just to see such a trailer. ;-) Oh... and to remain on topic, Harry has now offically made me lose any desires I had to see Blade 2, or to have oral sex ever again.

This is hands down the worst review I have ever read for a film. What are you becoming, Harry? Don't forget your roots as first and foremost an unbiased critic of a world-wide industry. It seems like you are allowing yourself to be sucked in . . . I think you need to watch Almost Famous a few more times.

Who cares whether Whistler's comeback explanation is water tight or not? What matters is, is the movie more fun, more entertaining with him? If so, then just enjoy and shut yer fuckin pie hole! Whattaya-a fuckin private eye or sumtin'-more likely just a dick. Anyway, I have loved Blade from the first moment, and have awaited this sequel with great anticipation. I am thrilled that the first reviews I have seen are so extraordinarily positive. I AM FUCKIN PUMPED!! See ya in "the front row"!!!

The firste ammendment as it stands in the United States is worded in such a way that the government cannot sponsor a law that will restrict the right of any individual to say what they like. End of conversation. To disagree with someone who has written something like this tasteless piece of garbage is not a condemnation of the first ammendment, it's using their right to free speech to counter-act this sort of thing, to allow their ideas to represent their views and hopefully change minds. I am not offended by this review, I am sickened by it. I am sickened because people think this is daring or this is cutting edge. It's not. It hasn't expanded how we view journalism and it hasn't introduced a new style into the genre, it's just bad writing covering up for bad thought procces because Harry wanted to be seen as cool again. Sorry, Harry, leave stream of consciousness stuff to those who have the mental capacity for it and the ability to reference outside of movies, sex or the famous people they know! (BTW, and you called me fucking retarded, thanks! Your opinion now means so much after this review!)

Now there's a sequel?Reading this review, you'd think he'd seen the Second Coming while getting a blow job. I'll have to see it to believe it.

But if you don't like it, THEN DON'T FUCKING READ IT. HOW HARD IS THAT? You know what I've noticed? The talkbacks are beginning to be taken over by nothing but TROGLODYTES WHO SEEM TO THINK THAT HARRY HAS SOME KIND OF FUCKING OBLIGATION TO THEM. And you know something else? Someone brought up half a good point earlier. If Kevin Smith had written this, you would all be creaming over it like it was an original copy of the Gospel. Anybody who thinks that ain't the truth is a FUCKING HYPOCRITE. But noooo, Harry wrote it, and it's a little different from his usual style ... oh yeah ... and hes a little on the heavy side, so he isn't allowed to write the word "pussy". I'll let you in on a little secret, gang: Harry probably gets more of it than any of YOU have in recent months. I don't know what's happened here. Seems like ever since Harry hit it big, his fan base has become a bunch of SNIVELLING, JEALOUS LITTLE SHITS who have nothing better to do than PICK THEIR PATHETIC, HOG-LIKE SNOUTS AND CRITICIZE EVERYTHING HARRY DOES TO DEATH AND SWEAR UP AND DOWN AND OVER AND OVER THAT THEY'RE SICK OF HARRY'S STARFUCKER ATTITUDE ... and then guess what they do, kids? THEY COME BACK THE VERY NEXT FUCKING DAY AND DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN. You know why? Because they can't let Harry, seemingly a geek like any other, succeed. Because they've been talking for months about how much better they are than Harry, and how Harry's a fat starfucking moron who can't write. But now the fat starfucking moron's written a book, which is a whole hell of a lot more than ALL OF YOU HAVE MANAGED TO DO LIVING IN YOUR MOTHER'S HOUSE, DIGGING THROUGH A BAG OF ROLD GOLD PRETZELS, DOWNLODING ANIME, AND PLAYING YOUR COMPUTER ROLEPLAYING GAMES. Here's the truth, deal with it and face it: Harry has gotten ahead. And you haven't. And that makes you jealous, so you mock him and get RIDICULOUSLY INDIGNANT over some naughty words that, if written by anyone who didn't look like Harry, would have been praised as a creative idea for a review! Seriously people ... if you want to be taken seriously, the last thing you should do is cite Harry's physical appearance as an argument against this review. When you do that, you reveal just HOW PETTY YOU PATHETIC PEOPLE REALLY ARE. That's all. Harry, write whatever the fuck you want, man. It's your site. Peace out.

Aside from Harry's basically repulsive, incoherent review, I think he and Father Geek have been spending too much as friends with Guillermo Del Toro to objectively talk about his movie. As Guillermo essentially said at the premiere (which I attended), he set out to make a movie that was "fun." Well, it was certainly a hell of a rollercoaster ride with some amazing, eerie, and over-the-top sequences and a lot to recommend. But it wasn't as much fun as I hoped it would be. The script was weak and full of holes, and there was not a single character that you could relate to, or even sympathize with. Everyone is so pissed, so bad-ass, so inhuman (in fact, there's only about one-and-a-half humans in the entire picture -- it takes place entirely in a world of vampires), that you cannot relate to them at all. "Blade 2" ultimately has the distance and monotony of a video game. Del Toro can certainly do action, and do it well, coupled with some incredible visuals and colors, but I like his "quiet" horror way better.

If, however, you SCREAM AT THE TOP OF YOUR FUCKING LUNGS that ALL YOU JERK-OFFS need to BACK THE FUCK OFF OF BIG RED, you might just get heard. Besides, I like to piss off the people who whine about Harry's "filthy, low-class review" by continuing to be filthy and low-class. They're just words, people.

Besides which, didn't this place used to be a movie site? I mean sure Harry's reviews have always been stupidly over the top and poorly written at the best of times, but this truly is a new low.

Because it was completely unexpected, and therefore should be praised? I read part of it because I read most of the articles posted on the site. I did stop after the second paragraph. Quite simply, I don't feel that Harry and Co. owe me anything. But I do believe, however, that a web site as popular as AICN has a responsiblity to at least appear credible to it's readers.

Wow, I mean WOW! Hubby has been yowling about this site for weeks now and sent me the link to this (generously labelled) review this morning. Why? perhaps because we want to see Blade II, perhaps because he knows I enjoy brave audaciously written screeds, and perhaps because I have earned my living as a pornographer and might be amused. I'm not. It is just sad and pathetic to obfuscate any possible information or opinions about an upcoming movie with pretentious and trite sexual analogies. Enduring this pre-pubescent drivel thinly masked as a movie review has decreased my desire for both the film in question and pornography for at least a few weeks. If by some bizarre twist of fate the sexual invocations described here really are part and parcel of the Blade II experience then when I do experience them it will only be diminished and polluted by these barely coherent rambling unfortunately stuck now in the neurotransmitters of my brain cells. Too bad for my hubby, because for sending me here he won't get the sexual invocations that he otherwise would have enjoyed this week. This hawking gobshite has sprained my libido for at least a fortnight.

That review was excellent: interesting, well written and it offers a response to a film. Those are the most basic elements of a 'good' film review. I'm not sure what else you want. If you prefer that a review not use sexual descriptions read Roger Ebert, and you can also make fun of his weight while you are at it because that certainly is a valid criticism of a film review. No, it really is: feel free to use someone's weight against them because you disagree with what they write. That makes perfect sense. Also, to denounce someone because of what is essentially a stylistic choice: simply another way of relaying information and impression is limited. You may also want to travel back in time so that you can settle North America with the Puritans. There were fewer interesting movie reviews then and you may be less offended. Sincerely, kjay

Either that or I misrepresented it, which is entirely plausible given how pissed I was after reading the general response to the review. What pisses me off isn't what's being said, it's the childish way people are saying it. Calling Harry a big fat, pathetic, starfucking virgin is unintelligent, not to mention hypocritical. If you hate him so much, stop patronizing his site. It's ungrateful and sad. It's morons like this that give the rest of us Internet folks a bad name. Now ... do they have the right to say it?

Dude... you're fucking awesome for being the unrelenting true fan. And actually, to all you who take so much energy and time and emotion to shout and scream and piss your pants about what Harry writes, just think about this - he probably just reads all your whiney little posts and laughs his ass off, then goes and looks at his bank account again. You do know that every time you come here, he makes money, right? I'd find nothing in life more highly amusing than people paying me to bitch about whatever the hell I choose to put up on the bandwidth I owned. Me, though... I'm happy to be putting money in Harry's coffers. He's simply one-of-a-kind on the net. As is this site.
Harry you fat bastard ...

Now he's jumping entire herds of whales. Man, I only visit this site now about once every few weeks, just to check up on the current state of decay of Harry and his site. I think I need to cut back even further. As one of my favorite columnists is fond of saying, "stick a fork in him, he's DONE." By the way, I've long ago concluded that Harry is an unlikeable person, who is becoming less and less inhibited about revealing his true, boring, unappealing self. Oh well, I guess this post may get me banned. Whatever.
a further response, what came first, the Del Torro, or Harry?

Is this even worth debating about? I have one opinion, you have another. Neither of us are changing our minds. One thing is certain, however. If Harry has the right to post this review, we have the right to tell him whats wrong or right with it as consumers of his product. Its basic economics. Cheers.

My young son and I enjoy your website and like to read about the reviews and comments from other fans. But this review about such a pornographic film is very disappointing to me. Plus such a dirty review format. We thought you were a christian Harry what happened to decency and values? Plese be careful in the future because young eyes are watching and respect you. Your their hero for Gods sake.

Oh grow up people, it amazes me that folks that interested enough to read about an R rated movie are so shocked by this review, it sickens me that there is so little defence of Harry in this forum filled with peop
