And I don't even care if I'm the only one!

Have you see this shit? Have you? This shit they're calling The A-team?

This is not the fucking A-team!

Liam Neeson is an amazing actor, seriously. So why the hell does he look like a Ken doll pretending to be George Peppard? His face looks plastic, and his hair looks worse than Mr. White Wig's ever did (A-team fans should know who that is

I don't enjoy too many TV to Big Screen remakes, I was all set to hate this with a passion, but I think it looks good. Of course I might think different when I see it. I do remember the premiere ep, after a Sunday football game and it was an awesome show, and in all the years it was on nobody ever got killed LOL.

It was my absolute favorite show when it was on, and it was the first real online fandom I was involved with. I've written meta for this show, fic for this show, made vids for this show... and yeah, this movie ain't this show. At all.

It really looks like they tried too hard to recreate the original, which isn't possible. The chemistry those four had on screen can't be duplicated.

It took them almost 12 years to make this movie, from when they first started talking about it in 98. If this is the best they could come up with, I wish they'd just left it undone.

Well, I disagree with how harshly you critique Bradley Cooper (I think he's goete a lot of redeming qualties), I never thought they should make this movie. I also really hate that they're remaking The Karate Kid.

I see the typwos. Don'at care. DRugs are gooood, y'all.

Wheeeeee! Drugs! Wish I had some at the moment. For the same reason you do have them. :|

Anyway, yes, I'm sure that Brad has some wonderful qualities; I just don't think his face is one of them. :)

And yes, I agree, The Karate Kid is another one that they just need to leave alone. I don't care if Will Smith needs a vehicle to make his kid into the "next big thing."

These are treasured, cherished parts of my childhood they're fucking up, here. And I don't know what pisses me off more - that they're destroying my childhood memories or that they're not creating any at all for my kids.

I don't know! But God, he looks absolutely horrible, doesn't he? I do agree with you that I hope it's not permanent, because normally he's quite nice to look at.

Hot? Boy's got a slammin' bod; I'm not arguing with that at all. But to me, if he were a she, he'd be a butterface. Trufax. :)

Face was beautiful; that was part of his character. A large part of his character. He was beautiful, had no past, had no memories of his parents or of who he was (which was why he could lie so easily, because he didn't know the truth), didn't know his own name (it wasn't Templeton Peck), had no idea how old he even was (somewhere between 28-30 when the show started), and did not belong where he ended up (in Vietnam). He was too pretty to have survived there, but he did, which made him even more interesting, because... hello? POW camp? How the hell did someone (an officer, no less) that young (19 at the oldest) and pretty get out of that alive?

But anyway... yeah. I digress.

In conclusion: Hot bod? Yes. Beautiful face? Nah.

I've generally kept well away from any films (or telly, for that matter) that remake TV shows from childhood. Starsky & Hutch and Dukes of Hazzard are two classic examples on film, and this looked like it'd be more of the same kind of nonsense. Then there's BSG on TV which was a disaster, the recent Day of the Triffids, and so on. I don't bother with film remakes, and telly I'm learning not to bother with either. I don't get why people remake them - they really do spoil people's memories, so the benefit of using something well known and building on that love is wasted by creating the crap that's created. I guess someone must make money or they wouldn't do it, but I steer clear.
