Yep. Yep yep yep.

I like both of them. The A-team has really gotten my interest for good now, I like where it is going.

As for the Expendables, with a cast like that, it's bound to be great.

I refuse to watch any A-team without Mr.T

Why do I see a whole new series of quotes popping up.

That looks awesome. I am seeing these when they come out.

By the by, why no love for "The Losers"?

I'm considering waiting until they all come out on DVD, and watching all 3 of those movies in one sitting. I don't think I'd survive the experience, though. too much JAWSOME!!!

Yeah, one of the jokes over at Topless Robot today was that movie theaters would make a killing on "Mansurance".

Cause y'know, watching all three in succession will kill you with too much testosterone.

And awesome.

QFT. No one will ever live up to T's performance in that role. He -is- BA Baracus

Weiners.

Mr. T is actually the one who picked the new actor, out of all the potentials. Add in the fact that Jackson gave up a much more lucrative job as a UFC fighter just for this...

Makes me quite happy Especially with the fact that Mr. T has said that he doesn't really want to "overshadow" the new cast.

Damnit Kanluwen! Don't you kill my fond memories of the A-Team on VHS! Yea. That's right, VHS. I'm betting there's at least one person that'll scratch their head and say "WTF is that?" But I was born a decade too late to enjoy the series on TV.

You were born in 1997?

Huh. Canadian military must have really lax standards.

But yeah. I'm going to see all of them.

I can only hope they'll be in IMAX. I don't care about 3D, but these deserve a really really big screen.

What? No I said -late-

A-Team ran in the mid 80's

I was born in 89', so I missed it. If I had been born in 77 I could've watched it on the tube

I had a dream the other night where the original A Team was helping me supe up my new gakky car and putting metal plates over the windows.

zoomer shakes'll do that to you.

1983-1987, with reruns in 94-present.

You still could've watched it on TV

I've never seen it aired in the present day. Then again I have basic cable, and I don't watch much TV at all.

And at 94' I was 5 years old. I didn't have Cable, OR a colour TV back then. They still sold Black and White TVs in those days, and we had one And we only had like 5 channels. Granted the only TV I watched at that age was hockey.

No doubt!

I'm looking forward to this one!

Why isn't Jean Claude Van Dam in the expendables?

Every other 90's action star is...

BETJ is currently playing the A-Team M-F and a Sunday morning mini-marathon

All look good...

BUT...

The Expendables had me at Statham and...

...might have lost me at Stallone!

They still air it here, lol.

My question is,will anyone actaully be "harmed" in the firefights/multiple explosions in the A-Team "remake"?
Or,will it stay true to the original and have thousands of rounds fired and half the world blown up with nary a flesh wound to show for it ?
Not that I'm asking for "realilistic violence" mind you,I'm just wondering what direction the film will take.

The A-Team looks OK. The Expendables...same as Alpharius, it lost me at Stallone. After Judge Dredd, I just can't like him. It is an impossibility. Where is JCVD? Or even Dolph Lundgren? (Dolph's new DVD Icarus isn't that bad, it was actually quite cool. Grant it, we were drinking)

Did you watch the same trailer for "The Expendables" that I did, Khornholio?

Dolph Lundgren is in "The Expendables".

As for JCVD, he's "retired" from acting as far as I'm aware.

I pity da fool who gets that role!

A-Team trailer looks fairly solid, but chap playing BA is too short and can't act. Also Face seems to have shades of Murdoch about him, in respect of winding BA up all the time. Liam Neeson though, spot on.

The guy playing Mr. T is actualy 3" Taller than Mr. T

Ill watch them, but Ill have to wait till the end of them to tell if I will like them.

Ok, I think I've figured out the problem here. Let's compare the heights of the original A-Team to the new cast...

George Peppard - 6' 0"
Dirk Benedict - 5' 11"
Dwight Schwulz - 6' 1"
Mr T - 5' 10"

Liam Neeson - 6' 4"
Bradley Cooper - 6' 1"
Sharlto Copley - ?
Quinton Jackson - 6' 1"

Ok, flawed theory. Maybe it's the extra one inch Hannibal has on BA this time around (original height difference - 2 inches, new height difference - 3 inches) that is making Jackson look so short.
