Relive those glory years with 'The A-Team'

Ok, who's pumped for this? Come on, admit it. There are two things I can guarantee you about the big-screen version of The A-Team. It will probably be over-the-top cheesy. And I will definitely see it. I realize it has awful written all over it (like say the recent Knight Rider remake). But at first glance, the trailer (posted above) is so damn promising: They've got the voiceover! ("If you can find them …") They've got B.A.'s awesome van, the 2010 version! They've got Hannibal's hair, and his signature line ("I love it when a plan comes together"). They've got the cool guy from The Hangover. For me, back in 1983, as a 10-year-old, The A-Team was big stuff. Mr. T couldn't have been cooler. Stuff blew up every week. And no one ever died, no matter how many M-16s were fired. I have a distinct memory of a helicopter crash in one episode, where the two pilots just walked out like they were in a fender bender. I can't find it on YouTube. Actually, if you ever think of going back and watching classic clips of The A-Team, don't. The Honeymooners it ain't. The '80s cheese violence doesn't exactly age well. Your memories might be ruined. But the theme song is still awesome.
