The A-Team trailer, you guys. (A bootlegged copy leaked on-line a few weeks ago, but I waited to post the good version, because your eyes are worth it!)
Whoa. I’m sure (I’m not sure) there will be lots of incredible action and exciting adventure in the movie that we don’t even know about yet, but IMDB can get busy filling out the “Memorable Quotes” page right now! This thing is wall-to-wall incredible, naturalistic dialogue that truly captures the way human beings relate to each other. Check out some of these memorable quotes:
“This is beyond nuts, boss.” — Lt. Templeton ‘Faceman’ Peck
“It gets better.” — Col. John ‘Hannibal’ Smith
“Now we’re talkin’.” — Capt. ‘Howling Mad’ Murdock
“You miss me, ’cause I missed you.” — Sgt. Bosco ‘B.A.’ Baracus
“Sucks to be you, homie.” — Sgt. Bosco ‘B.A.’ Baracus
“You look like you got a real bad attitude.” — Lt. Templeton ‘Faceman’ Peck
“I love it when a plan comes together.” — Col. John ‘Hannibal’ Smith
“HahHAHAHAHahhahahha.” — Lt. Templeton ‘Faceman’ Peck
“AHAHAHahahahahhahaAHAHAH.” — Sgt. Bosco ‘B.A.’ Baracus
“What the hell is that?” — Lt. Templeton ‘Faceman’ Peck
“If you look out the right-hand side of the aircraft you’ll notice that the right wing is on fire.” — Capt. ‘Howling Mad’ Murdock
THE HUMAN DRAMA CAPTURED IN VERSE!

“I’m definitely not seeing this.” – Anyone with a brain
Please, God. No more B.Coop. There’s B.Coop coming out of my pores. I can’t even breathe without the threat of accidentally inhaling tiny flying B.Coops. MAKE IT STOP
Could I please borrow some of your pores?
Looks like we’re gonna need a bigger barf bag.
The top five most evocative and beautiful lines in English:
5) ?White in the moon the long road lies?
4) “My quietness has a man in it, he is transparent.?
3) “Parting is all we know of heaven and all we need of hell.?
2) ?Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury
Signifying nothing.?
1) “Sucks to be you, homie.”
Obz Gabe has never seen an episode of the A-Team or he would know that one of its main schticks is LOTS of catchphrases.
That’s how Hannibal gets when he’s on the jazz.
Amen to that. I’d be upset without the catchphrases. But, thank God Gabe wrote them all out for us, because who comes to videogum with the actual intention of watching a video clip?
Sorry, that was kind of biting and rude. Not nice at all. I take it back.
I’d like a serving of Bradley Cooper (extra on the abs), please, and some Liam Neeson on the side. Yum.
LIam Neeson is the new Philip Seymour Hoffman. He’s in every movie coming out this year.
Dialogue shmialogue! It has a tank! With a parachute! A TANK WITH A PARACHUTE!!!
Exactly! They really jumped the snakes on a plane with this one. I will definitely see this.
We’re gonna need a bigger TANK-CHUTE!!
I’m really enjoying trailers, thats just where I am right now. I spent my weekend watching this and Iron Man 2 repeatedly with the Inception trailer to finish. Then I had a wank on chatroulette.
With today’s fast-paced lifestyle, who has time to watch every crappy movie in its entirety? That’s why I love trailers. I mean, how much more enjoyment/exposition/plot are you going to get out of, say, The Blind Side than the 2 minutes that most of us have seen?
I enjoyed The Blindside, although not as much as Shark Boy vs. Lava Girl.
Have you seen the Last Airbender trailers? ugh. I am filled with so much want and worry.
I certainly noticed how the Asian cast was completely white-washed. Hollywood racism is gross.
yeah..and Zuko is the Slumdog Millionare?
ah well, i’m already over the racist stuff. I mean, sure the characters were all mostly asian (the water tribes were Inuit? the Foggy Swampers were rednecks? is that even a race?) in the cartoon their voice actors were not. (Katara = Her?)
And it’s a Fictional World! There is no Asia in the Avatar world. …SO it was up to M. Night Shaymaliahan to make casting choices (or who ever: he’s a nice scapegoat) did he make the wrong choices? we’ll just have to see. Maybe he was race blind and just picked the best actor? We can hope.
but If you are going to get bothered by the races of characters who’s nationality was based on what flavor magic they could perform, well, then you probably get bothered by how a vampire is supposed to be and act….
that said, he better not have fucked up the story…too much. Or y’know…after I watch it three times i’ll have to complain to the internets about it.
I’m not Asian, but I’ve been following the fiasco since the casting was announced. There is a lot of anger and disappointment in the Asian-American community. I can be sympathetic to this sort of reaction. It’s really messed up watching every movie that should have starred Asians get re-cast with whites just to make a bigger box office buck (2008′s 21 for example). I guarantee that a lot of Asian-American kids were really excited to see characters that resembled them in some way on TV — much like how my young cousins get excited over seeing Dora the Explorer or how I get giddy over Mexicans or gays on TV who aren’t encompassing every negative stereotype that Jeff Dunham includes in his act. It means a lot to people who are minorities in a generally white, straight, and Christian society to see themselves represented in a positive way in the media.
Oh well… That’s Hollywood I guess.

I get that, but I am just so looking forward to being disappointed by the ACTUAL movie that I can’t waste a drop on the very disappointing casting.
All this criticism of this film, which doesn’t pretend to be anything other than an action movie, seems to forget that we are living in a time when the largest movie awards ceremony in the world is probably going to give their most prestigious award to a film about blue aliens, directed by a man who looks like a muppet…
Seeing this makes me wet with anticipation about how they are going to ruin Short Curcuit.
They look like they’re having so much fun!
The guy playing T is awful. They should have gone with the real Mr. T.. I’m talking about Topher, of course.
Wow, Brad Lee Cooper is cut. Just like the dialogue should have been, amirite?
I’m sorry but this just looks terrible.
I think it’s one of those trailers you have to watch twice in order to pick up on the nuances, like the trailers for Blow-Up or Mulholland Drive.
My favorite quote of this trailer is “PEW PEW! PEW! BOOM!!!”
normally, i stay far away from a movie like this (garbage, tv remake, etc). but bradley cooper is ridiculous hot. as long as i can figure out how to get the theater to mute the movie, i’m in.
maybe you could listen to an audiobook of “remains of the day” on your ipod while you watch.
Ha! Cut to: “Oh no, I didn’t like the A-Team. There was too much British romantic melodrama”
well now i want to see what it would be like. videogum audiobook movie club!
Just bring an iPod and listen to Die Antwoord on repeat.
Imagine if the tank took down the airplane with it’s canon! I can’t believe hollywood had a parachuting tank being attacked by an airplane, and chose to shoot it down with a stationary machine gun. WWMBD!!!!!!! (What Would Michael Bay Do)
Whats with all the monster love for Bradley Cooper? I don’t get it, the only amusement I have gotten from Bradley Cooper is reading about him being Victor Garber’s bottom bitch on Alias.
He’s got that Shia Labeuf j’ai ne sais barf.
His first movie was Wet Hot American Summer. In which he had butt sex with Michael Ian Black.
JUSS SAYIN.
Are you juss sayin this in response to Bradley Cooper’s rumored butt sex with Victor Garber, or are you juss sayin that being in Wet Hot American Summer is why people like/ are entertained by him. I MUST KNOW!!1!!!1!!!1
Both-ish. But my main juss sayin point was that WHAS gives him credibility in being not-that-bad-of-a-guy.
Also, HAVE YOU SEEN HIS BODY AND FACE? Sculpted by the gods.
I can now put this post behind me…thank you. I guess anything WHAS does give you a pass. The scene where the camp counselors go into town to “party” is one of my favorite scenes in any movie.
that was so HOT! even if a little extra gay.
I’m just saying gay sex doesn’t usually end with being married on a beach.
also I didn’t think b.coop would be the bottom. (though maybe they flip)
It looks stupid, but at least it seems to be somewhat faithful to the spirit of the show… Which was also kinda stupid.
To be completely faithful to the show, they should have periodic commercials during which I can spend some time “practicing basketball” with my Dad in the living room.
Calling it now. The Losers will be the better team-betrayed-by-Government movie of the year.
Actually, I kind of agree with you…I made the jump hoping the quotes had been typed out because I didn’t want to bruise my eyes watching those hacks say them, thinking “ooooh, here’s a catchphrase that’s going to make the trailer!”
RE: my comment above…I was responding to katydid’s apology. I hit the reply button (I think). WHY DIDN’T IT WORK???
I’m confused; Sharlto Copley and Patrick Wilson are also in this movie, and yet everyone’s talking about Bradley Cooper. GET YOUR HEADS IN THE GAME, PEOPLE.
Sharlto! How could yar?!?
Did anyone else find, “You look like you got a real bad attitude,” to be really homoerotic? Like the Lt. really wanted to Shakeweight For Men Mr. T’s man parts.
Why is it that every action movie trailer now opens with an aerial shot of some sort of military base in the desert?
I’m stuck on the “probably escaped from a maximum security facility.” Whaa? If you have money maybe you can hire them.
“remember the 80s?” – hollywood
“You miss me, ’cause I missed you.” — Sgt. Bosco ‘B.A.’ Baracus. Aww, c’mon! He is talking about the awesome van! It is that quintessential action movie moment where shit gets real and the good guys go to their secret garage where they have a special vehicle stored away for when shit gets real. They then proceed to trash the (stored for 10 years in mint condition) vehicle unnecessarily breaking in to the enemy compound. It’s cinema at its best!
“Sucks to be you, homie” – the discerning critic, to the cast.
