New movies and 80's TV shows.

At first I wasn't entirely sure what to post, but then I thought back to a conversation and a few thoughts I had a few days ago. I was talking to a friend via text message and commented on several new movies that are coming out that were either remakes or 80's television adaptations. At first I mentioned the new Robin Hood movie, with Russell Crowe as the title character, the new A-Team movie based on the hit 80's show starring George Peppard and of course . . . MR. T! After that came a brief mention of the newest adaptation of the 1981 classic, Clash of The Titans, starring Sam Worthington of Terminator: Salvation fame, Liam Neeson as Zeus and Ralph Fiennes as Hades.

I thought, and still think, that while Robin Hood maybe just a bit tired and over-done, the A-Team might be kind of fun to watch, just to see how bad it'll probably be compared to the show. Clash of The Titans will probably be okay, slightly above-average as remakes go. Then I thought, if they'll make an adaptation of the A-Team and the nightmare that was the Dukes of Hazzard movie, why not go all out and adapt a true 80's gem, MacGyver. I'm a big fan of the show despite the fact that the final episode originally aired when I was 5 years old. Just bear with me for a minute or two. Bring in Richard Dean Anderson in a cameo, ask someone like, okay the only blonde who looks even remotely like Anderson is Sean William Scott or Stifler as you might know him better. But take him, maybe Jason Alexander as Pete Thornton and say, Brendan Fraser (because I honestly can't think of anyone else) to play Jack Dalton. If you can think of anyone better suited to any of these roles, either comment or send me an e-mail with the title of MacGyver. That's it for now, but I'm bound to have more random thoughts to share in the next few days or so.
