Fuck that other 2010 movie thread. If you're not excited for this movie, kill yourself.


EDIT: IT'S NO LONGER AVAILABLE FUCK MY LIFE THIS THREAD IS A GIANT COCKTEASE

edit3: FINALLY A GOOD TRAILER http://www.traileraddict.com/trailer/the-a-team/trailer

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 think this looks awesome as well. Stupid but awesome.

Don't apologize; it does. Brilliantly dumb.

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.

Quentin "Rampage" Jackson is hardly what anyone would call an "actor".

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.

My A-Team always needed more Liam Neeson.

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.

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.

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).

I love horror/slasher movies. I own every Friday the 13th and Final Destination movie. Midnight Meat Train is actually #2 in my Netflix Queue RIGHT NOW.

Doh! I knew that! Yeah, it's a fun flick with some really nice visuals. It's a very pretty-gritty movie.

A-Team is going to fucking rock.

I heard it was cancelled.

Did you just get back from a bodega? The cast is f-in perfect. I couldn't have thought of anyone better to play Hannibal, Face, and Murdock. No one can replace Mr. T, but the dude sure looks like him.

Fuuuuuuck Yes

I ain't too familiar with the A-Team (never seen the show), but Liam Neeson at least looks like a riot in the trailer.

Also is Mr. T. supposed to say homie. I thought he said stuff like sucka and foo'.

I pity the fool who wants to replace Mr. T, I do, I pity the fool!

I realized the other night that the release date for this movie is the night before my friend gets married. I'm a groomsman, but I already told him I'm going to have to miss the rehersal dinner. Considering it's for this movie, he considered skipping the rehersal himself

Rob, just stay up late and catch a mid-nite movie.

My hopes are low, but I am refraining from judgment now.

And no one can replace Spock either, right?

Keep a candle burning for your favorite shows, I guess.

The A-team (while I loved it) was literally a shitty, predictable show. This remake is going to kick oh so much ass. Despite what folks have been saying round here, the casting of all the characters is a spot on match, especially face and murdock.

It's really just not the same.

I like the Will Smith as Face idea and pick like, Steve Austin (or whoever) for BA. Complete recast.

The movie's casting is fine.

I'm not sold on Rampage Jackson playing Mr. T, but that's more because I have a hard time imagining ANYONE but Mr. T. playing Mr. T. I haven't seen him act in anything, but he's exciting to watch in the octagon.

It probably won't be as good as the book, but I'll still see it.

I know exactly zip about The A Team, but I'm definitely going to see this. It looks like lots of fun.

Baracus better be scared of flying is all I'm sayin'.

I'm gonna see this one with a couple of buddies and a big bucket of popcorn and it's going to be awesome. Even if the movie is terrible, we'll have a blast mocking it after.

It can't be awful, it has Face shooting an airplane with a minigun from a falling tank.

I'm curious: Do you know the context of my suggestion? I mean, did you read the whole thread? Specifically the part where Chuck's talking about an alternative casting that has Steve Austin playing himself in a role similar to Mr T. Because my suggestion of Will Smith was, "well, if you still want a black guy in one of the roles Will Smith would make a good Face."

I'm not wrong.

That's why it fails as an A-Team movie. They never hit anything with their guns in the TV series.

They hit a lot of tires!
Then the car would very obviously drive over a ramp, turn over or somersault a bit (no explosions like newer, more unsafe, cars do) and then the bad folks crawl out just to meet a member of the A-Team pointing a gun at them which would make them rise theier hands. I so hope they bring this exact scene in the movie, it wouldn't be A-Team without!

And from the trailer I have to say that it looks surprisingly good.

That's because the series was during the Reagan Years when anything unhealthy was expunged from media. Cheech and Chong stopped making drug movies, and cartoons didn't have any 'real' violence. He-man always threw Skeletor over the horizon rather than hurting him. When planes were shot down in GI Joe, all the cobras escaped with parachutes. And on the A-Team, whenever a car crashed, the writers were always careful to show that bad guys got out of them afterwards.

Kids didn't even have toys that shot real plastic darts. They were all changed to prevent the little plastic pellet from actually flying out, because it might hit someone in the eye or something.

It was the lamest time to be a kid, let me tell you.[/QUOTE]

I had He-man and Ghostbuster toys in the 80's. They all had shit you could shoot. Well even if most didn't the early 90's revived that big time. I used to love the TMNT vehicle that shot pizzas out of a cannon. The thing was motorized and those pizzas friggin stung when you shot em.

I remember loving this show. But I also remember even as a kid being painfully aware of bad FX. I remember explosions not centered on the exploding thing (I mean worse than seeing the jets of flame when the SSD crashes into the Death Star). And I remember clearly, for some reason, that I hated that everything sounded like a fist. Metal on metal? *fist sound*. Then again, they seemed to be self-aware of the cheesiness, which made it acceptable.

So, kids should be exposed to violence and death, and then hand them toy guns that really shoot projectiles? That sounds healthy.

When I was still in toy playing age, the Battlestar Galactica toys fired tiny plastic darts. They were of smaller diameter than a pencil and about and inch and a half long. Those darts killed several kids. So the knee jerk reaction was to ban all projectiles. So six years later, they just changed it to making projectiles too large for toddlers to swallow.

This will likely be a PG-13 extravaganza, with wild explosions and hinted at death. Yes, it will be easy to make the movie much better than the TV show.

I am also creeped out that Liam Neeson looks a lot like the original Hannibal (George Peppard) in that photo.

Tinwhistler said:

yeah, the Reagan years were over in 1989. By the 90's, I was out of toy playing age. That decade was the decade of suck as far as cartoons and toys were concerned. Nancy Reagan single-handedly destroyed my childhood.
