Seems that the original BA Baracus – Mr.T – has seen the new A-Team movie and he hates it.
“People die in the film and there’s plenty of sex but when we did it, no one got hurt and it was all played for fun and family entertainment,” said Mr. T. “These seem to be elements nobody is interested in anymore.”
“It was too graphic for me. I’ve no doubt it will do big business at the box office but it’s nothing like the show we turned out every week.”
To say “Nothing” might be a stretch as it seems to have a LOT of the campy action and comedy. But his biggest issue is that its been updated to fit in with what people like to see in movies lately.
Uh…. Good!!!
It seems that every reason why I didn’t want to see an A-Team film made has been avoided and we still look to be getting a movie that pays tribute to the feel of the original. As with any adaptation, there has to be changes to make it more appealing to the current market.
Is anyone going to want to watch a high paced gun battle with twelve thousand rounds of ammunition being spent and no one actually gets shot? And who wants to be all suggestive about Face’s sexual exploits? In the original show he scored so little but talked a big talk. He might as well have been in the closet.
And this coming from the guy who thought the “Treat Your Momma Right” video was a good idea.
So bring on the shootin’ the killin and the sexin.
