Beg pardon, I mean Gallowwalkers. The things I love about this already:
- the way the title is two words awkwardly smooshed together without hyphenation
- the two-tone beard on Snipes, with impossibly smooth white hair-tips.
- the way the gore effects and the sets look left over from Cannibal: The Musical.
- the bad Irish accents, or whatever the hell they're supposed to be.
- Diamond Dallas Page is the costar.
- the total lack of dialogue-sync in the trailer.
Watch it after the jump, then wonder just how much Snipes regretted doing this for the money and then going to prison anyway.

Those bad guys don't stand a chance. I mean, he can take down three of them with one shot (see 0:04). Also, I think the lack of hyphenation is an attempt for the two Ws to be side-by-side, so as to suggest Wild West. The Ws are in capitals in the movie's logo (see 2:04). Incredible.

Listen, Wesley Snipes had a sleeper hit with Blade and I like to think this is what will happen here too. I for one am excited to see this!
Westerns are great but like @ZenoMorf says i may not get the chance to go to the box office to see them. But my favourite westerns include Tombstone, 3:10 to Yuma (remake), True Grit, Django Unchained and probably my number one Blazing Saddles.

Most people don't care for westerns, enough to see them at the box office anyway. TRUE GRIT remake and Django Unchained were recent exceptions. But Jonah Hex bombed and Cowboys vs Aliens underperformed, and Wild Wild West was one of Will Smith's flops. I'm wondering if The Lone Ranger can beat that curse.

Wow. Blade the Cowboy.
So I leave for three hours and you guys do the PS4 and when I get back you have this and whatever the heck was with the action figures. What I do guys? Whatever it is, I'm real sorry! Really!

@Someguy speaking of leaving I've got another gesa related thing to deal with so I'll be elsewhere for a week. taking my laptop in case there is wi-fi
Nope. I don't handle violence well. All three of the fights I've been in resulted in my throwing up and passing out afterward. Not really assassin matterial.
But the good news is that the GentleThings Club still has Wi-Fi, crappy Wi-Fi but I'll be able to keep busy.

@arivalscientist Speaking of which, Mr. Snipes should be getting out this year. He had a 3 year sentence and started it in 2010. Maybe we will get a new Blade movie? I wonder if Marvel has the rights to make Blade movies?
@miketen@arivalscientist The problem I saw is that in the last movie apparently Wesley Snipes become a weirdo and a huge problem on set, so even if they go with another Blade, he may not get to suit up again. See this article...
