What, no A-Team thread?

MAYBE YOU CAN HIRE TEH ATEAM

Looks awesomely bad.

Liam Neeson. As 'Hannibal', could be awesome.

I watched this trailer earlier and was quite uninspired. B.A. sounds like a wuss. Liam Neeson is just impersonating George Peppard. The action is way over the top and filled with CGI.

I'll probably watch it on cable.

I'll repeat something I saw in the comments on that webpage "It looks better than it has any right to considering the source material"  I'll watch it, I mean c'mon it's the damn A-team. I don't think however that I must see this in the theatre.

The original A-Team was gritty and serious and people died all the time because it was realistic. HOW DARE THEY MAKE A TANK FLY!

In other news, makers of springboards have seen a mysterious increase in sales.

The preview had Face shooting down an airplane in a goddamn tank as it parachuted to the ground after their plane own plane exploded.

Think about that for a second, a fucking plane, in an tank. A tank.  They get my $9 just for that one scene.

Looks awesome. Great cast. Cooper as Face is inspired.

One thing though:

Trailer has been removed for copyright infringement. If that isn't a prime example of how retarded media companies are these days  I don't know what is. IT'S A TRAILER. THE GOAL OF A TRAILER IS TO GET PEOPLE INTERESTED IN YOUR MOVIE.  

"Ya, we can't have people actually LOOKING at our ad for the movie, shut that fucker down!"

A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and copyright lawyers.

Unless they wanted to pull it down so people would start hunting for it. (It's turned up on youtube by now...)
Which generates a bit of buzz. Look at how many people were screaming for the Tron 2 trailer to be put up, after seeing the leaked footage.
Screaming on the internets. Talking about it, etc...

If forced to decide whether a movie studio is being Machiavellian or small-minded, I'll generally go with the latter.

considering that the Theatre that i work at has a copy of this showing infront of both our Daybreakers prints, I find it really odd that they would be forcing websites to take it down.

Ooo, high def even!

Oh come on, that is fucking awesome.  :drill: This is one of those movies that will be hard to criticize, because the source is so fucking ridiculous, it can only improve.

Unless there are aliens, or farting robots.

New sig. Though I'll go with the source instead :-)


Man, I thought it was going to be him using the tank cannon. Machine gun is so cheating for A-team.

Whomever is distributing this movie needs to cool it with the DMCA takedowns. Everytime I click a link to a trailer, it has been removed. The one I did find last night was so blurry I could not see shit.

Want me to mail you a copy of the one we have on our digital projector?  You will need 2gig free harddrive space and a sony media decoder rack  :grin:

Ok, I admit that put a dumb smile on my face. Hopefully they keep the "you can hire..." voice-over in the movie as well.

This. 

I mean it's the God Damn A-Team for crying out loud.

Probably at the end of the movie. Dramatic ending with voice over for nostalgia.

That would own. They'd be all walking toward the camera, slow motion, explosions in the background, after finally doing whatever the movie's about. And they decide to work as soldiers of fortune.

And then the drums start. Voice-over. And the END CREDITS COULD BE LIKE THE OPENING CREDITS OF THE TV SHOW OMG THAT WOULD ROCK!!!

Edit: That looked like sarcasm, but it totally wasn't. NEITHER IS THIS!

At first, I facepalmed. Then my inner 12 year old that used to watch this shit went "Shut up old man! That was RAD!"

Sometimes your inner 12 year old is smarter than you.

But do they beat the shit out of everyone by never hitting them with gunfire. Inquiring minds want to know.

My childhood is preparing to go to court and point out its rapist.

I want to see them be ruthless, efficient, deadly killers in the Iraq war, but then the come back home and don't need to kill anybody, they're that badass. And that's why nobody ever died in the TV show, because they were that fucking good.

They can cross A-Team with Kenshin!   :awesome_for_real:

What, they couldn't find anyone better than Rampage Jackson to play B.A.?

Do you have someone in mind?  I don't.

Probably prefer Kimbo Slice.   :why_so_serious:

Terry Crews.

Ice T

Night Elf Mohawk.

The Wayans Brothers. All 4 of them.

Edit: Seriously though, the sound was off for 90% of the trailer in the showing of The Book of Eli I went to and I was pissed.

They need to have a scene where the bad guys' car is forced down a ravine and rolls over a few times before exploding. Then the bad guys clamber out mildly concussed and clutching their heads as a loose wheel goes bouncing down the road.

The problem with using Kimbo would be that he'd need a prosthetic mohawk.

Honestly, though, I can't think of a better candidate than Rampage.  He's got the basic look, he is a violent and dangerous motherfucker who is also a bit of a funny man with a soft heart, all the while managing to be a giant dick.  If that doesn't scream B.A., I don't know what does.

Ving Rhames.

Rampage didn't work for me either. Too much of the modern hip urban black dude, and not enough Mr.T.

Hell, they should have gotten Mr.T to play BA.

Ving is too quiet.

I'm leaning toward Night Elf Mohawk.  Anyone else might as well be Michael Keaton.

What about Ice Cube as B.A, George Clooney as Hannibal and Marky Mark as face, Oh wait (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120188/).

So? It's acting. I'm sure he can at least attempt to be loud and boisterous.

At any rate, the trailer actually looked good. I'm a fan of the original, and feel like I should probably hate it on principle, but it looks fun.

Ving Rhames played an outrageous drag queen in one role and Don King in another. Man can turn it on if he wants to.

Everyone involved with this movie should have their colons punched. This shit is horrible even compared to the TV show.

My $9 is going to watch a plane shot down with a tank parachuting to earth, I don't really care about anything else.

...you can see that in the trailer.  Why waste time in the theater?  Seriously, even the TV previews of this thing look like stupid shit.

^ This. ^

It's the fucking A-Team. If it DIDN'T have stupid shit like this, it shouldn't even be made or called A-Team.

I'm having a hard time with Liam Neeson.  George Clooney would have been a better choice, and I'm not even really a George Clooney fan.  Don't get me wrong, I like Liam Neeson.  Just kind of /boggle at him in something like this.

After they did the Dukes of Hazzard, this was the only logical conclusion for them to really put the screws to my childhood favorites.

Maybe now they can do Quantem Leap and finish it off.

Only if they cut to credits 5 minutes before the ending.

"Quantum Leap: The Movie" starring Martin Lawrence as rap mogul Albert Calavicci and Sean William Scott as pro-skateboarder Sam Beckett.
