When I was looking for that A-Team intro video in the last post, I came across a video called “Middle Earth A-Team”. It’s the A-Team theme song set to Lord of the Rings. Can you guess who will be each of the main characters (Hannibal, Face, Murdock, B.A.)? It’s weird to see at first, but it actually works once they get to the character introductions.
If you haven’t heard, there’s a new A-Team movie coming out soon. In a way, that’s exciting, because the original TV series in the 1980’s was great. It had many memorable characters, most notably Mr. T playing B.A. Baracus. (Do you remember what B.A. stood for? Bad Attitude.) B.A. was like MacGyver in that he could take anything and find a use for it, except he usually made weapons. And he could beat people up.
Before I get to my point, let’s have a flashback. Here’s a video of the intro to the TV series.
The new movie doesn’t feature any of the original actors, which often doesn’t bode well when they’re so well-defined and liked. Some of them are just about impossible to replace, like Mr. T. If someone tries to act like him, it’ll be obvious that the new guy is an impostor. I just don’t see how anyone could recreate the part without being generic. A possible solution to this dilemma is to drastically change the main characters. Normally this sucks, and long-time fans will gripe incessantly about how the franchise was ruined. This has been attempted in many movies, typically with disastrous results. But there is a method that hasn’t been tried yet, which might could actually work:
The main characters in the new A-Team movie could be midgets!
That way, it’s not pretending to be authentic, so there’s no comparisons to the ’80s TV series. And think of the potential of having midgets play those characters… 🙂
This week’s caption contest looks to be fun. It involves a woman driver who has wrecked her car.
You get to make up the context for this picture. How did this happen? Why? Was anyone or anything else involved? What is she thinking? What are the onlookers thinking?

Someone sent me an e-mail telling a story of what a guy’s fairy tale might be like. (I don’t know who originally wrote it or I’d give them credit.)
Once upon a time, a Prince asked a beautiful Princess… “Will you marry me?”
The Princess said “NO!”
And the Prince lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles
and went fishing and hunting and played golf and
played video games and dated women half his age and
had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up
and farted whenever he wanted.The End
