[QUOTE="ColonelHardisson, post: 484419, member: 363"] Well, I gotta admit that I absolutely detested the A-Team back when it was a first-run TV series. I still dislike it in reruns. The concept, though, is cool. I loved the opening narration, which made it sound like the coolest show ever. I love action flicks. Trouble with the A-Team was that it was just so...I dunno how to put it into words. I can't say "stupid" (it was) because I'm the kind of guy who'll watch Bloodsport [i]every single time[/i] it's on, and who kept a body count for Commando (man, what a fun movie!). I was so blown away by Hard Target that I showed it to my brother, and made him a convert. So, I can't get my fill of stupid movies. Y'know, my brother and I had a running joke, still do actually, based on The Octagon - we call each other and whisper "Can I do it? Can I kill [i]my own brother[/i]?!?" So it's not the stupidity of the A-Team - stupidity is a plus, in my book (I kinda figure somebody might use that as a sig line, but I'll leave it in :) ). It's just that the action was so lackluster; how many times can they have a car defy the laws of physics by hitting another car, somehow use the second car as a ramp, and then the first car spirals through the air like a nicely thrown football? It was the sheer repetitiveness of it all that bugged me. But, I'd be all for a revamp of the concept. [/QUOTE]
