The A-Team movie is going to be so awesome

At one point, I actually took your movie advice to a certain degree of seriousness, considered you one of the "upper crust" thinkers of the movie genre on this board and would consider or at least second guess my previous conceptions on films based on your ideas.

Since the "2010 sci-fi movies" thread and this one, that's pretty much flown out the window.
 
I'm sorry? I'm not gonna apologize for losing my movie cred over the A-Team being one of my favorite childhood shows ever and the first perfectly done TV adaptation(pending) and wanting to laugh at Legion.
 
Noone's telling you to. It was simply a statement. For the record, the TV show was ass.

Wanting to laugh at Legion was not what you implied, as well as snickering at the fact that Denzel Washington does good films.

I was snickering at the thing that he "rarely does bad films".
 
I'm very sure his percentage speaks well.

As for wanting to laugh at stupid films, I take it you enjoyed Transformers then. Please, feed Legion enough money so it too, will get a sequel.
 
No, no sheg. There's stupid films that are funny and/or fun to watch and then there is Transformers 2: Destroyer of all Life.
 
Yes, I agree there are Espy, but some aren't funny. I just find it interesting that someone would be against "shut off your brain films" then tout a film like A-Team and Legion while dismissing actors who make good films.
 
I'm against the term "turn off your brain" as a way to like movies that are terrible. I think A-Team looks legitimately fun. Legion is not good, but probably funny-bad.

and I'm a big enough man to admit I was wrong about Denzel after I perused his IMDB. But he does look about batting .500 the last decade or so. Fuck, John Q was bad.

Instead of taking a random black guy to be the new Mr T wannabe, they should have created a new A-Team and put Stone Cold Steve Austin, in character, in it.

Now that I would watch.

That would work.

And if they still want a black guy, get Will Smith to play Face.

See, I would totally go for something like that. I loved A-Team but they went a bit over the top with the movie, I think.

I don't really think there is any other way to do it personally.

There is truth in this post. And I don't even just mean that it's accurate. I'm talking about truth of the Platonic sort.

I had no idea this movie was in the pipes. So excited.

I think you could capture the spirit of the show but have it not be imitations of the characters. Instead, they opted to try and copy the characters in hopes that they would capture the spirit. It is a totally different animal that way and not one I am likely to enjoy.
 
What the fuck, that's not Mr. T! No one can play Mr. T but Mr. T, why wasn't Mr. T cast as Mr. T?
Not just that, but Mr. T turned down an offer to make a cameo appearance. He believed that if he were to make an appearance, advertising might latch onto that and twist it to make him seem like he would be a major character.
 
I love Mr. T, but he's kind of gone crazy in recent years. Clean break, I say. I hope this is star-making for Bradley Cooper and the D9 fella everyone says is so good (gotta see that movie)
 
I feel like they missed the perfect opportunity to make this a modernization and homage. Create four new characters, and maybe base them on the archetypes in the show. Make them veterans of a more recent conflict, then put them in that same situation (accused of a crime they didn't commit, break out of prison etc.) and then have them decide to become "The A Team" because they loved the show when they were younger.

Not to say that this looks disappointing. Just saying, it could have been different.
 
That idea is horrible. Isn't that what they went with in that awful Bewitched remake?
I'm not aware that there was a Bewitched remake. It sounds like I am blessed?[/QUOTE]
The Bewitched remake took place within the shooting of a fictional TV relaunch of Bewitched. The film was about a witch played by Nicole Kidman who wanted to live like a mortal and have a guy who was a mess for her to take care of. She ends up being pulled into playing the part of Samantha in this relaunch by Will Ferrell, who plays this bad actor whowants Darren to be the focus of the show. When Nicole Kdman realizes she is being tricked by him just so he can upstage her and get his own career back on track, she decides to strike back.

Personally, I enjoyed the movie adaptation of Bewitched.

Didn't Hangover already cement Cooper?[/QUOTE]

Yeah, in general. But hopefully this as an action star too.[/QUOTE]

Probably not your kind of movie, but he's in the WONDERFULLY named "Midnight Meat Train" horror flick and he's pretty damn good in it. That was the movie I first noticed him in. I would have been thrilled to have him play Hal Jordan after I saw that flick (although he was still second to Reynolds in my book).
