Whatever day it was I last went to the theater, they had a trailer for a new a-Team project. *facepalm* My first two thoughts were 1. Why do they need an A-Team reboot, when Leverage exists. I mean, it's way better than the original a Team and does a beautiful job of updating the idea. Judging from the trailer, this is clunky and awful, lacking even the campy charm of the original, while doing nothing to improve the original's illogic. 2. Why have they hired a Mr. T impersonator for BA? If they wanted Mr. T, why not hire Mr. T? He's alive and looks pretty much like he did way back when. he also has nothing better to do than WoW commercials. I mean, here is a guy who's only talent is being himself; it may not be much, but he really lives the part. If you're going to making a crappy movie anyway, why not throw the poor man a bone and possibly his last good paycheck.

(My mom loved the A Team, but it wasn't my thing. The result is, I've seen quite a few episodes since she controlled the TV, but I'm not the natural fan base, so take the above with a grain of salt).
