A-TEAM Trailer is coming this weekend, here's the breakdown!
Hey folks, Harry here - I feel weird about this A-TEAM feature. I love the cast & director, but honestly - I'd much prefer for Carnahan to be bringing us his ESCOBAR epic - but if there has to be an A-TEAM movie, this is how I'd like to see it get handled. It does disturb me a bit that it seems to be such a direct lift off of the TV show, but then, we'd gripe if it wasn't, right? Just a very odd feeling project, need to see this trailer though, stat!
Hi Harry, if you choose to use this, you can call me HazMatt. Man, am I on the jazz now! As a movie theatre projectionist, I get the upcoming weekend's trailer hard drive on Monday. I went to ingest that bad boy today, and what did I spy? The first official trailer for The A-Team! It's mere presence surprised me, but the trailers 1:41 run time had me salivating. Just enough time time to watch it twice before we had to start seating for Avatar. Enough to satisfy my craving, but not enough to memorize everything and give you a full rundown. What I do remember... Starts off as you'd expect, with just a hint of the theme music and it's variation of the classic voiceover (Apparently they were arrested one year ago for a crime they didn't commit), which runs throughout the trailer. We see Hannibal in his colonel uniform attending a military funeral. Next we get quick shots of the team breaking out of a prison bus and then Hannibal meeting with Face on a beach. Some footage of fast cars and a shot of B.A. getting out of one. It's filmed from the rear, so we can get a good look at the mohawk! That just leaves Murdock, who's introduced in his familiar jacket/cap getup, complete with pilot's headset. From there it's all high action mixed with nostalgia, sure to leave fans of the show with a "plot-hatching Hannibal" sized grin. Everyone involved gets to break out a well known piece of of their character. Hannibal gets to chomp a stogie and proclaim "I love it when a plan comes together". B.A. gets to act hella-tough and lament on how much he missed his van. Which of course gets a big a reveal as any of the characters. Which is only fair, there are few vehicles more iconic than that GMC van. Face, full of his trademark charisma, questions the sanity of Hannibal's plan, tells B.A. that he has a bad attitude and makes out with Jessica Biel's Lt. Sosa character. And Murdock, who get's the least amount of screen time, still finds time to show us how off kilter he is by calmly announcing that their planes wing is on fire. After the escape and the character revealing we get around 30 seconds of the team on their mission which is all ziplines and gunfire and helicopters. It ends with the bullet riddled A Team logo and the tagline "There is no plan B". Don't look to me for a accurate critical review of this thing. I'm far too biased. I absolutely love the show and it looks like they're trying to keep it's fun spirit alive whilst ratcheting up the action several notches. So it's more than alright by me. But I can offer my opinions on a few small matters. From what I gleamed in the trailer, it looks like Bradley Cooper is staying the truest to his television counterpart. Something about the way he delivers his lines reminds me of Dirk Benedict's Faceman through and through. On the other hand, Sharlto Copley's Murdock seems to be from from the south. Unless that's just Murdock putting on a southern accent, as Murdock would do! Looks like Quinton Jackson is just playing a gruffer version of himself, which is fine, as Mr. T did the exact same thing. As for Liam Neeson... Look... Nobody will EVER truly replace george Peppard as Hannibal. I'm sorry, but he IS Hannibal. If he were still alive today I'd be the first signature on the petition to have his 80 year old face gracing the screen as the teams true leader. But having said that, Liam Neeson seems well suited to the role. He has that twinkle in his eye. The one that says, "I'll probably land us in a situation that will may us killed, but we'll have one hell of a time getting there.". He looks the part and sounds the part and I don't think he'll find a lot of negativity from the fans. My only gripes about the trailer are: 1. The theme music isn't fully there, just a tease of what it might sound like performed by a full orchestra and 2. I maybe wrong about this, but I don't think I saw a single flipped jeep! Believe me, this trailer does everything a good teaser should, it touches all the right bases without giving too much away. I don't know where you'll be this June 11th, but me personally? Even if it's just for two hours, I'll be hiring... the A-Team.

I just do...

Or am I being too harsh?
-
Wooooo!
-
Say what?
-
But it's not like this guy is saying this is his unbiased opinion. It sounds like anything they put on screen with the A-Team would have been exciting. And who plants for a trailer? That's a little bit extreme since everyone's going to be able to see for themselves online within the week.
-
Script could have been a lot better, but wow, amazing. There. It is done.
-
Can't wait.
-
I may be a vegetable at times, but I'm no plant!
-
Now, many years later,I suspect a revisit to the show might not be. The film could be interesting, The cast is not as bad as I thought it would be...And Mr. Calder, I too pity the fool. Wisdom from BA..true wisdom..
-
I'll be sure and run out to drop fifteen bucks on this.
-
A serious A-Team wouldn't be the A-Team. That's the first step into the right direction, pal!
-
than usual: a trailer review... just where we'd least expect it...
-
Just long enough to properly masterbate to it, I suppose.
-
...who puts a spoiler tag on a trailer review...sucka!
-
...because I just don't think it was needed, or wanted, really. And strangely enough, you do sound kind of potted Strangwood. Nothing personal, maybe you're just a HUUUUUGE fan of the show. But that was far more detailed and knowledgeable than what I'd expect most people to get from a 1:41 trailer. As I've said before, this is a "word of mouther" for me. If a lot of friends and or AICN folk start pouring praises upon this film, I'll go see it. If not, it'll wait for cable.
-
sold.
-
mehhhhhh.......... Loved it as a kid, but I smell something stinky with this one.
-
It was faint at times, but overall, noticeable. "aw, come awn B.A."
-
I'd hate if they update that as well...plotting, blowing through roadblocks, and jumping parked police cruisers in a Chevy Equinox just doesn't say "Bad Ass" to me.
-
This is the era of One Shot One Kill...doing an area suppression fire and offloading 5000 rounds without a single inflicted casualty won't fly for the kiddies in 2010.
-
And that Fox repays Carnahan with a greenlight for KILLING PABLO (and stays the fuck out of his way).
-
Forget what I said about 2010...no edit function means it still must be 1992, around here at least.
-
Sorry, you can find a T-like dude and call him T, we all know it ain't no T. And I hate to think what this new guy sounds like when he says the catchphrase.

I hope this fuckin' fails in an epic manner. If this succeeds,
by Force_McCockin
-
I'm calling this as a plant...<p>even if they did indeed send the hard drives out a standard projectionist wouldn't have the necessary decryption keys to play it a week ahead of time
-
Fuckin' A right. Killing Pablo would be 1,000 types of badass.
-
I too was a huge fan of the show-that being said,i'm not expecting much. As long as the characters resemble the ones from the show and shit blows up,I'll be a happy camper. You other fucks got your big dumb movie last summer with Transformers 2-Electric optimus Boogaloo-this year Imma go watch the A-Team blow shit up. Yee-Haw!!!!
-
Hannibal was the coolest, backed right in front of Murdock, followed by Face. THEN B.A. Mr. T's acting was so bad in the show. But it was part of it's charm, I guess. Dwight Schultz should have gotten more physical acting jobs after that show. He's a great actor.

I LOVE IT WHEN ANOTHER TV ADAPTATION COMES TOGETHER....
by TehCreepyThinMan
Actually, I don't. It's just another example of the complete and total creative bankruptcy of Hollywood and their desperate attempts to rebrand and repackage everything for the fucking morons of America. They'll even take a Spanish movie (Rec) and put out a fucking remake (Quarentine) a year later. They are absolutely against doing anything original that isn’t based on some TV show, old movie, board game, children’s toy or theme park ride. The money grubbing rat bastards that run the Hollywood studio's should be lined up in front of a wall and machine gunned. These people are a fucking cancer on North America cinema and are doing to movies what their buddies on Wall Street have done to the worldwide economy.
-
When does that come out??
-
Why did the police always blare their sirens so as to warn the A-Team they were coming to get them?

Rampage needs to stop playing and go back to UFC
by JeanGrey_X23_lesboSex
I'm betting big money on Rampage Jackson to beat Evans in May.
-
The A-Team... Ah, that's an old one. Made me laugh in '84 though. In today's brainwashed PC culture, it might be "hate speech" now.
-
i viewd the trailer about 3 days ago at a meeting for FOX's 2010 slate, the description above is pretty acurate, definetly one hell of a ride we are in store for
-
I just can't imagine Joe Carnahan doing a 80's revival PG-13 movie. And with Liam Neeson, Bradley Cooper and Sharlto Copley all coming off the back of extremely successful R-Rated films it seems illogical to make it less than R, but the source would dictate a PG-13.
-
was the best character on the show and the most popular with the true fans. Typical that the studio would NOT GET IT and show very little of him...
-
Easily one of the biggest one hit wonder hacks of the last ten years. This guy makes ONE movie that was saved by some great acting (Narc) and was thrown a dozen projects, only to fuck up his deal on ALL OF THEM, makes a complete piece of shit (Smokin Aces) and people are STILL willing to hire this fucking wanker? Hey, how about for the sequel they get Troy Duffy then round off the trilogy by having Richard Kelly screw this franchise right into the fucking ground. This movie is soo DOA that it’s spirit is riding next to Michael Jackson on the train to Hell.
-
man your posts crack me up!
-
With his preferred screenwriter Robert Mark Kamen. If they were really smart they’d hire the Crank guys to Direct and work on the script. That would kick all sorts of ass!!!FACT!!!
-
A KNIGHT RIDER film should be rated R (K.I.T.T. curses out the bad guys) filled with action-packed CGI-up-the-ass sequences in mutha fuckin' IMAX 3D! YOU KNOW YOU WANT IT....
-
If only to wash out the fetid taste of that last aborted attempt at a small-screen reboot. How they fucked that up as comprehensively as they did, I'll never fully understand...
-
about another bad TV show made into another bad movie? I'm so sick of this shit. Hollywood is *suppose* to be populated by creative people. A remake of the A-Team is not creative, it's a copout and nothing but a grab for money. That's all this is for... they're like wow, let's get all the old baby boomers in here who remember this crappy TV show. Wonder what other shitty old TV shows they can remake? I'm sure they haven't reached the bottom of the barrel yet.
-
truth!

what kind of projectionist talks like that?

Grooveraider, I HAVE TO SECOND THE MIAMI VICE LOVE....
by TehCreepyThinMan
I fucking HATED the goddamn TV show and, to be honest, I didn’t like the movie when I first saw it because my perception had been polluted by Lethal Weapon/Bad Boys 2 and their proxies. But I’ve come to actually love the movie over the years because it isn’t played as some clichéd buddy-cop movie. It’s a movie about a pair/team of professionals who don’t fuck around and make quips like giggling faggots when staking out a location where the life of one of their teammates hangs in the balance. Its deadly seriousness is what makes it unique and I wish that I had recognized that quality when I first saw it.
-
Well, know that we are digging out the good old stuff, i want to see a theatrical version of MARRIED WITH CHILDREN! But give me the fucking original cast!!
-
just the thought of the trailer just gave me a semi-chub
-
Gimme a break, it's a trailer description and the guy says he's a fan. So shut your jaded mouths the fuck up already....

They've got four cocks between them, so while your eyes are being fucked the other two can replicate the experience of listening to Leona Lewis’ “I See You” by fucking your ears.
-
Even though the movie represents EVERYTHING I hate about North American cinema/culture, its deliberate attempt to offend everyone on the planet makes me love the movie dearly. It’s the type of movie that Lloyd Kaufman would have made which isn’t a coincidence as Neveldine and Taylor are Troma fans. Furthermore, the fact that they got that movie made for aprrox. 20 million and shot it on prosumer camera’s shows a level of innovation and forward thinking that I don’t see in the 150 to 300 million dollar turds that Hollywood keeps squeezing out. Crank 2 was crazy, wildly inventive and unpredictable which isn’t something I can say for Avatar, Star Trek, Transformers 2, G.I. Joe, Terminator 4, Wolverine etc…and I enjoyed it ten times more then any of those floaters.

FLOCKA!!!

and nobody gets hit?

Jaysin420, I am too a projectionist, have been for 7 years now! Ask me a question only a projectionist would know, I'll.. try to answer it. CmdX, I'm not just a standard projectionist, I'm an Imax projectionist too! Besides, no trailers come encrytped, just features. No matter how important the trailer is. GutsSpill, you're right. Murdock does have a southern twang at times. It's just more noticable from Sharlto. Rubiks Doob, thanks for having my back man. So psyched to have something used on this site, only to have everyone call shenanigans! Appreciate it.
-
The Faceman uses bullets to blow up an attacking airplane, at the very end of the preview, so their aim did get better, apparently.
-
I liked the original an aweful lot and I love Troma but Ling Bai, Efren Ramirez, the total retread of the original concept minus any realistic way to charge him up(I liked the dog collar part) honestly 1/3 of the way through I literally left it on but was focused on other shit.
-
sounds like studio speak. Written around a table, w/ coffee and a danish plate. "I'll be hiring the A Team??" "Genius!"
-
And the best thing about intro, was the cameo of an old school Cylon, in the opening credits! That and the theme song.
-
It's not the end of cinema as we know it, not even close, but really- who gives a flying fuck about a new A-TEAM story? Has modern mythology been fleeced so thoroughly that it's come to remaking this? I bet you if this show didn't have a catchy theme song, nobody would even remember it existed. If only RIPTIDE had a better composer! DAMMIT!
-
Awesome.
-
There aren't any Fox films being released this week! I'm guessing it'll go on Daybreakers. So am I a Lionsgate plant? Or a Fox plant? Or both? Truth be told, I'm just an A-Team fan (I'm watching season 2 on netflix right now) that got excited. Hopefully you'll be able to download or stream the trailer FOR FREE this weekend and judge for yourself.
-
I'm not a netflix plant.
-
Why would anyone put a plant on AICN? This site is so fucking irrelevant now.
-
"Even if it's just for two hours, I'll be hiring... the A-Team." I wrote that on impulse! Thought it sounded fun.
-
I know it's the 21st century and all, but it still feels weird to read stuff like that...
-
Is your faggotry on this site by slobbering all over this future piece of shit like you had mouth cancer and Mr. T's cock was the cure.
-
I'm pretty sure about this.
-
By the way, the irony is that both shows had the same composers, for their theme songs, Mike Post and Peter Carpenter. They also did Hardcastle and Cormick, Hunter, and Magnum, P.I. Also shows with awesome theme songs!
-
That's why you're here reading and commenting, right? Nothing personal. Your comment just made me laugh.
-
When will we get the Hardcastle and McCormick or Jake and the Fatman movies
-
really? ....would they really be that desperate and bored?
-
But who would replace William Conrad, as The Fatman, in the film?
-
as the Fatman and the Screaming Mimi in Riptide.
-
Went on the Universal Studios tour and everything! But I'm currently living in Indiana. And if it's faggoty to love the A-Team, then I don't want to be straight.
-
On his way into Natasha Richardson's funeral, he passed all these paparazzi filming him -- and instead of ducking and hurrying away, he SMILED AND WAVED at them. For some reason, that really impressed me: it was as if he were saying, "I know, it's terrible, but life goes on. Might as well smile." It was oddly moving, and made me like him even more.
-
Goldblum and getting any younger. I think Vereen is still around too.
-
Smell the pollen from its spores, folks
-
Seriously? I mean seriously?!? Use your fucking head and just think about it for a second.
-
I don't even call plant. This post feels very "off".
-
...EVER call plant.
-
It's a report on what a trailer looks like. I'm not really reading this to get the dude's opinion on it. I'm holding out hope that this actually turns out to be a surprise, and manages to be good.
-
I mean seriously, could kick some serious butt!
-
...this will be of COURSE it matters that the guys a freakin' potted house plant. How is that not obvious?
-
What would be the point of having a plant for a trailer? For something that is going to be freely available in a week? FREE! What would be the purpose of putting out a fake positive "review" of a teaser? What would that accomplish? If it was a plant don't you think they'd at least tell us what film its going to be attached to? It'd be easier for the studio to just shoot out an e-mail that said A-Team trailer being released on XX day with this film, and will be live on the internet on XX day. Why go to a niche website, spoil the impact of the trailer by describing it before its release, and not give any info on how we're going to be able to see it ourselves. Just to have the guy give it a positive review? Of the trailer! <p>If they wanted to engender positive notions of the film through a review, they'd send out a plant talking about seeing early rough cut footage, a plant on having read the script, a plant maybe having seen the film, something where that opinion doesn't become immediately invalid as soon we can judge it for ourselves when it becomes freely available. "Oh, well I saw the trailer myself and didn't like it, but that guy last week did give the trailer a positive review, so maybe I'll give the movie a chance." There's ZERO purpose in having a plant on something we will all be able to view and judge for ourselves, for FREE. Seriously I feel like my head is going to explode that this is even an argument. Its just a geek who's hyped for the movie.
-
...would be that "studio people" read these talkbacks. There has been a very "meh" "not sure about it yet" vibe in these talkbacks for The A-Team movie. Having someone HYPE the TRAILER would be an attempt to get said moviegoers excited for said trailer and in turn, the movie.
-
I don't EVER call plant. In fact, I usually think it's silly. But as I said before, the knowledge this person had/has of the show and movie coupled with the way they wrote the above description just felt way too "inside" to me. Maybe I'm wrong, but it didn't feel like a normal "spy" report.
-
I feel like calling plant is over-thinking it (IF the studio were to plant I feel it'd be more along the lines of "I've seen the trailer, and it kicks ass" rather than "I've seen it, now let me spoil it"). But rereading my posts, I'm clearly over thinking this as well and way to into thisdiscussion. Especialy since after all we're only talking about the trailer. Guess we'll be back in the talkback that's out up next week when the trailer is actually out (just now realizing I've come to think ofthis site as a series of talkbacks, rather than something with, you know, writers and stuff).
-
..because this site IS a series of talkbacks, rather than, ya know, writers and stuff (other than the occasional great interview - which I think they've done quite well with lately).

I wish a jeep flipped over, or Murdoch has a southern accent WHAT UP WIT DAT? a plant would try to let everyone know that this is just like the show only 10,000,000,000times better. Besides people are either gonna love it or hate it regardless of any plant. the movie had my $ when it was announced.
-
pitying the fools, since 1983.
-
Would be awesome...can you imagine if Murdock painted flames on B.A.'s van and then BA tried to kill him? I'd laugh...no nipples though. That would just be too weird.

Guys, introduce a script section. Seriously. The script for The A-Team stinks and that means that the movie has a high chance of whiffing. <br> If you followed these projects earlier in the process you'd be far less likely to end up with egg on your face when the chicken (turkey) comes back to roost and I think you'd have a better time! Part of being a geek, in my opinion, is devouring everything related to the properties you love, and scripts are included in that. Hell, if you don't have enough time, I'll do the reviews for you - at this moment in time it'd be like I was doing you a favour...
-
is when some dude reviewed Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift and said people were drifting in the parking lot after the movie. That was a damn plant. Pretty sure this is an enthusiastic A-Team fan. I too work in a theater, but I'm just an usher for the now. Perhaps some day I'll make projectionist but that's a story for another time. Anyways, they do get to see the trailers before hand. And once or twice we've watched 'em in a group. Haven't seen the A-Team one yet though. But I believe this one.
-
reach for the stars and soon you will be living the dream. that projectionist position is well within your grasp. I envision a Christopher Lloyd "Things To Do In Denver When Your Dead" style demise of the guy standing in your way. Don't worry "Mr. Shhhh", we won't tell;)
-
Harry, you need to introduce me to your pharmacist/dealer...
-
so you are the one responsible for that kid? next time where a condom or pull out or as I like to say, "If ya knock her up, knock her down...the stairs."
-
starring Chris Pine and Tommy Lee Jones! Best theme song ever.
-
the funniest thing about the opening of that show was that they had 2 actors to credit in the beginning and yet there is almost a full 2 minute rock out theme song.

Fuck Ya'll...I want to see "The Love Boat" on the big screen...
by conspiracy
With Patrick Stewart as Capt. Stubing, Shia The Beef as Gopher, Sam Jackson as Isaac, Dakota Fanning as Capt. Stubings daughter (and Isaacs love interest)Vicki, William H. Macy as Dr. Bricker, cross over actress Sasha Grey as cruise director Julie...and guest starring cuchi-cuchi-cu Charo. NC-17...</p><p>Tell me that wouldn't be fuckin Rad....you 80's lovin bitches.
-
since I spent a vast majority of 1986 masturbating to Caryn Richman and Sydney Penny.
-
Can anyone possibly be surprised that they'll lift as much as possible from the old series? Nostalgia + a few trendy, topical jokes + things blowing up = some profit and forgotten in the bargain bin in a year.
-
like Eddie Murphy played "T" in delirious.</p><p>Ya know face..ya look pretty cute in them jeans....urghhh
-
Glad you've eased up on your cries of plant. But just in case, I remembered that I won tickets for a Fox film. Fastastic Mr. Fox. http://www.aintitcool.com/?q=node/43138 There I am, Matthew Strangwood, plain as day. Why would a Fox plant want to win tickets to a Fox film? That's also proof of my rough location, and Chicago is a heck of a trek from California!
-
He's all hopped up on the jazz!! Get him to rehab on the stat!
-
That show had a cool opening theme.
-
fucking rooooooooocksss!!!! :-D
-
whenever a plant sends in his report he has to find something to criticize. It's nearly always the music because it's the easiest thing to criticize without actually shitting on the movie. This, my homies, is a plant.
-
I didn't realize The A-Team film was gonna be an origin story. I'm not sure how I feel about that. On the one hand, it's always the thing that dominates screentime so the actual plot only has to fill the last 3rd or less and be super thin. I fucking hate that. On the other hand, the origins here are fertile ground, something casually tossed around the show and hinted at, but open enough to play with. As for the trailer, no flipped jeeps means SOMEONE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING.
-
"on the jazz" was something BA would say about various folks, including and I guess especially Hannibal. <p>And JettL93 is pretending he's Jett Lucas, George Lucas' adopted son who was born in 1993. His stupidity every time he posts in TB proves it ain't him though.<p> Pardon me if I'm stating the obvious.
-
No Jeeps flipping though makes me nervous. Also on the whole plant thing I think people have given up even trying. I don't think anyone cares what people in the talkbacks say any more. When was the last time AICN had an impact on some things box office performance? You can not write a positive review on this site any more. You're instantly a dick and a plant in the eyes the talkbackers. The talks backs have become so laughable that no one gives a shit. I wrote a review a few years back for the Turtles movie and it got posted here. I got called a plant cause I kind of enjoyed it. I live in the UK, in a town called Lincoln that no one has heard of. Didn't matter to any one. I liked the movie so i was a plant. Hollywood has a long reach.
-
it could be a really cool movie!
-
"I think about my father being called 'boy,' my uncle being called 'boy,' my brother, coming back from Vietnam and being called 'boy.' So I questioned myself: 'What does a black man have to do before he's given the respect as a man?' So when I was 18 years old, when I was old enough to fight and die for my country, old enough to drink, old enough to vote, I said I was old enough to be called a man. I self-ordained myself Mr. T so the first word out of everybody's mouth is 'Mr.' That's a sign of respect that my father didn't get, that my brother didn't get, that my mother didn't get."
-
MacGyver - this time there'll probably be a terrorist who can create a thermonuclear device using a hairpin and a dead cod and our hero has to stop him using whatever springs to mind. Oh dear.
-
I would call plant also since movies from tv shows always suck.
-
a copy of the trailer to the web via Usenet?
-
Just got the new Sony BD player for the holidays with the Netflix online streaming. Heard the new A-team movie was coming out so I decided to check out some of the old episodes of the A-Team... <p> IMO this series has not aged well and was painful to watch the few episodes that I did. I remember liking it more growing up. I might try a later season in a few weeks after the bad taste goes away to give it a chance again.

You should probably watch 80's TV one episode per week. They weren't meant to be slogged through like a more recent show with continuing plot threads.
-
Paul Thomas Anderson presumably has to go cap in hand to Paramount to get his $30 million to make his latest (watch out... he's got an original idea, and he wants to use celluloid... anamorphic, no less! The horror... the cost!!!), yet this kind of tripe gets the green light! Not even the "T" himself will appear in it (doesn't want to bring indignity upon his family and the original TV series?). Where is squallywood headed? If it's not Sir Didley Squat wanting to convert to 3D, it's another remake, sequel, prequel... What about "Raiders of the Lost Idea"? Who actually cares about this... aside from a few gen X/Ys?

I used to work in a theater back in the days of film cans being delivered, and the 60-ish overweight projectionist trudging upstairs to his "booth" with the daily newspaper, butt hanging out of his mouth. In this digital age, are the films downloaded on a secure file, or disc, or what?<p>BTW, I think your enthusiasm is being misread as being leafy.
-
They still use film.
-
Can't believe I'm the first one to post that.

I'VE BEEN ON THE JAZZ IN THE MEN'S ROOM FOR 15 MINUTES
by BringingSexyBack
I just hope no one walks in until I finish.
-
In the TV series credits, each team member is introduced, "George Peppard as Hannibal Smith", "Dwight Schultz as Howling Mad Murdock", "Mr T as BA Baracas." But Dirk Benedict is just "Dirk Benedict." Anyone know why?
-
The car chases were the best part of The A-Team, and actually pretty innovative considering the times in which it was made.<p> You GOTTA have a jeep flip in the movie, if not the trailer.
-
...a shot-for-shot remake of the tv show's opening credits sequence, but with bigger explosions.<p> It wouldn't give any of the movie away, and it would be awesome. Two ingredients for a good trailer.
-
"I'll be hiring the A-Team," is better than what the suits would come up with. For example, "There is no Plan B."
-
If my memory is correct, the opening sequence was mostly the same for the A-Team pilot, when a Tim Dunigan played Faceman.<p> Maybe when they re-cast the character they had to re-do the credits really quickly, and somebody simply fucked up?<p> Are the opening credits from the pilot episode available online so we can compare them?<p> Also, is Faceman's real name common knowledge throughout the series? I have a vague memory that we don't learn his name is Templeton Peck until later on, but I might be WAY wrong on that one.
-
as probably as iconic as The A Team for '70s action adventure television. That felt like it was filmed on weekends and they were making it up as they went along. But whats next? The Streets Of San Fransisco? Liam Neeson as the third generation Irish cop showing the ropes (a mentor role, his specialty) to the shaggy haired newcomer Shia LeBeouf while a serial killer grips the city in fear...

FLIPPING THE JEEP IS WHAT MY WIFE SAYS WHEN SHE WANTS
by BringingSexyBack
cunnilingus. She's shy that way.
-
Heh heh heh . . .
-
... but Simon & Simon is too generic a concept to be good on the big screen.<p> Any series where it was the actors that made it good, as opposed to the concept, can't be done properly on the big screen with different actors.<p> Now, a 3-2-1 Contact movie, THERE'S A CONCEPT!!! Heh heh heh...
-
Did you folks get Circle-Square in the USA?
-
Actually, I honestly kinda wish somebody would buy the rights to The Littlest Hobo and reimagine it. But on the other hand, I know they'd just fuck it up.
-
If only to see more vehicles flipping at high speed.
-
I'm coming off as a little unhinhged now. I'll dial it back. The theatre I work at has just one digital projector, for 3D shows. Which arrive on hard drives in padded cases. Features arrive locked until we receive a key from the film companies. Other than that, it's 35mm film all the way. Technicolor deliveries Tues/Wed, then Deluxe on Thursday. So there's still an overweight projectionist hauling can after can up a flight of stairs. In this case, it's me.
-
Do they arrive on film or digitally these days?
-
I thought "Flipping The Jeep" would be anal?
-
bullets are flying every which way, but NO ONE GETS SHOT then it will be true to the original.
-
35mm trailers arrive with the feature in the cans. So the film version of the A-Team won't be with me until Thursday. Digital trailers arrive as a package on their own seperate hard drive on Monday. There were trailers for Date Night, From Paris With Love, The Back Up Plan and Tooth fairy along with The A-Team. But I was pretty sure nobody cared about those. At least, not as much as The A-Team.
-
We'll have to revise the code list.
-
I've just seen the new trailer for the Re -Release of Pretty Woman on Dvd.
-
So, the trailers that arrive on hard drive - should we assume they use a file format that cannot be copied onto a thumb drive and posted on YouTube?
-
Don't tell people which theatres are playing the movie! <p> "...and if you can find them..." <p> Ok, it's a terrible idea. I know it...
-
You need plants for the whole movie so people pay to watch it. Trailers are free. Some of you plant freaks need a course in logic.
-
Will Smith as JJ. Chloe Moretz in blackface as Janet Jackson. Ain't we lucky we got 'em? Good Times!

IHateThePixelsGeorge PT Anderson has to go cap in hand for money because his movies have made, rounded up 76 million 25 million 48 million 43 million WORLDWIDE in their COMPLETE RUNS. "Tripe" like The A-Team (which will be funny and have action and a 8th grade literacy level story line) will make that total amount in two weeks max. You know why? PT Anderson makes movies more boring than watching paint dry, and yes, I sat through There Will Be Blood and Magnolia and Boogie Nights. I know movie snobs like to orgasm over Anderson's movies but the fact of the matter is that to the normal average person they are 1. Boring. 2 Long. 3. Incomprehensible. 4. Pointless. You're not the boss of me. Respect the cock. I drink your milkshake are all nice lines but the fact that you have to sit though 10 hours of sheer excruciating tedium does not make it worth it. If I was an executive, I wouldn't fund him either. Sorry. It's a business.
-
I mean BlueRay Sorry.
-
Automan was the shit back in the day..... that would be great to see now!!!
-
And the sad thing about it BSB, is if a remake got off the ground, Willy would audition for the part.Now who should play James Evans..Samuel Jackson? hmmm..that's food for thought.
-
movies that make more money are better than movies that don't. <P> Also, McDonald's makes the best food on the planet.
-
McDonalds and Walmart are a BIG fuckin part of what's WRONG in this country.... stop shopping at either of 'em.
-
But that's cool.
-
Not sure if that's something the average man can drag and drop into Windows media player. Anyone know?
-
I tend to do that, miss points that is.
-
his/her usual junk on another topic, and i guess I channeled it a bit....
-
And yeah, Automan kicked several levels of ass.
-
I was in a meeting with Sam Mendes about the possibility of his directing the new Bond film recently, and we talked about JettL93's role in the process. <P>he'll be getting the danish from craft services. don't let him tell you otherwise.
-
JettL's scripts are just too formulaic and really aren't that much better than an 11th grade girls attempts. (that's Tarentino, BTW)
-
If the trailers have a .mj2 extension, then according to the Interwebs, Adobe Premiere can open .mj2 files.<p>
-
...when you get those trailers, you gotta post 'em online so folk can convert 'em to something that can be posted on YouTube!<p> Heh heh heh . . .
-
I also like The A-Team.<p> I'm just sayin', is all.
-
Royston Lodge, are you a fellow Canuck? Because if so, you are ok in my book. By the way. Beachcomers should also be a movie, too. Darn it.
-
Actually, he's dead...so he doesn't.
-
But if it earns me the temporary respect of a bunch of people I've never met. I'll do it!
-
and nipples on Batman etc....<p> Too soon?
-
Now I want a MacGyver movie, make it so!
-
Now my life has made complete!
-
. . . were sorta self-explanatory!<p> (Who should be cast as Constable John Constable? The guy from the Goodyear commercials?)
-
... just 90 minutes of jeep-flipping.<p> And I don't mean anal sex or cunnilingus!!!
-
An entire series about picking up trash along the coastline. I mean really, when you think about it...
-
Seeing Things.<p> I was fuckin' addicted to that show when I was a kid.<p> Could you imagine a remake with Jason Alexander in the main role?<p> That would be awesome.
-
Then I ain't interested. The A Team cracks me up. So many great BA bits - chinese guy "you want coffee" BA - "yeah" "how you take it?" "IN A CUP, FOOL!" And then the classic where BA thinks everyones burger is drugged, so he keeps swapping them about, only to have Hannibal hand him a glass of milk which he drinks right away. Classic cheese.
