Ridiculous.

Jesus Tittyfucking Christ, I hate Hollywood.

QuoteA group of Iraq War veterans looks to clear their name with the U.S. military, who suspect the four men of committing a crime for which they were framed.

Should've worked for Blackwater instead.  CASE DISMISSED

That trailer makes the movie look like cutting room floor scenes from Transformers. I am so worried that my childhood is about to be raped.

Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

The herky jerky seizure inducing trailers of today usually make me not want to watch a movie.

The special effects looked stupid.  Even the theme music seemed watered down.  This is a movie I'll have to watch only after it shows up oin Hulu.
PDH!

Holy crap...Martinus is dead-on correct on this one.

Of course, it's just A-Team political analysis, but still.
Nope, he is as wrong as usual.  Look at Oex's analysis for the correct version.  Marti is just doing his best to make sure that the average European's intelligence sounds average.

American Westerns in general are classic "European liberal" constructs:  what is important is the individual and the individual's values, not groups or group values (whether gangs or businesses).

Agreed.  The only reason they are calling this generic bit of work "The A-Team" is that they think it will sell a few more tickets.  This version is gonna clearly be about bad special effects, with a few "classic" memes just to remind us that it is a remake.

And Liam Neeson looked absolutely horrid.  What did they do to him?
PDH!

He's going through a rough patch.  Be glad his self-destruction is limited to this, and not at the bottom of a whiskey bottle.

Yeah.  Can't blame him though.  He really seemed to love his wife.   :(

It was a sexist show.  I loved it as a kid.
All shows of that era were sexist.

The episode I outlined above doesn't fit that formula, but I think it was late in the show's run so maybe they were experimenting more in an effort to save the show.  That Mexican dude who they added late in the series was in it IIRC.
just watched this one on Hulu.  Apparently tyhis was the last season, and I think the producers changed or something, so the direction of the show changed to them being tools of the government instead of freelance terrorists.
PDH!

FYP.  we free-lancers don't like the term "terrorists" because we don't even scare people.
