And the Reason is Reynolds

The desire I have to see Blade: Trinity doesn't make any sense. The movie is based on Marvel comic books I've never read. I'm not a fan of Wesley Snipes, the main star. I've never seen Blade or Blade II. While I'm drawn to television shows and movies like Buffy, Angel and Underworld, which involve vampires, the Blade series has never interested me. That is, until I saw Ryan Reynolds in a preview.

I just like the guy. I liked him from the moment I saw him as Berg on Two Guys and a Girl. Since the show's cancellation in 2001, he's done a few movies. Reynolds is the reason I saw Van Wilder and sat through The In-Laws. He's also one of the reasons I watched Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle (John Cho was another reason).

I've been trying to figure out what it is about him that I like so much. Unable to give myself a direct answer, I handcuffed myself to a square metal table with a bright lamp shining in my eyes and asked myself some tough questions.

Let's start with the obvious. Is it because he dated Rachael Leigh Cook?
No, I had no idea, but she is cute.
Is it because he's Canadian?
I didn't know that either, but Canadians are cool.
Focus. Is it because he's engaged to Alanis Morissette, who is also Canadian?
Possibly. They make a nice couple.
Hmph. Out of random curiosity, do you think he's a good actor?
I think he's a decent actor, but mostly, he's funny.
He's funny?
Yeah, I think he's one of the funniest guys out there. That must be it! I love his comedic timing. I've always liked his rapid-fire deliveries with strategic pauses and sarcasm. He just makes every line funnier.
I don't believe you.
What? It's the truth. I swear!
Have you seen his comedic timing displayed in this new movie's trailer?
Well, no.
Let's drop the pretenses. Isn't it true that you like his hair?
What does his hair have to do with anything?
Answer the question.
Fine. I like his hair.
And isn't it true you've seen his hair in the trailer?
(sigh) Yes.
Aha! So you're seeing this new movie because of his hair!
Agh! No!
...
Oh, okay, maybe a little, but it's because he's funny. Really!

Blade: Trinity has received quite a few negative reviews. On a positive note, even most of those praise Reynolds' comedy. Strangely, they never mention his hair. Anyway, if I see the film, he'll be the reason.
