Ayup, we've been waiting on this as long as the A-Team redux!

Question is ... who's getting the soundtrack contract? Fatboy Slim? Eiffel 65? The Crystal Method? Army of Lovers? Aqua?
Who? WHO?

The last redux had KITT turn into a boat or something! Maybe this one will turn into a Nordic Track?

Why?

Every film retread of a television series thus far has sucked abominably. I mean, The Dukes of Hazzard was never Shakespeare, but the film was atrocious.

Let the 80s rest in peace.

Never, ever happen.
Just wait until the Billy Squier/John Waite look comes into vogue again. Well, without exclusive sexual persuasion.

I blame Harrison Ford. Why did 'The Fugitive' have to be so good? Now look at the mess he's made. :(

Oh, I dunno. Some of the Trek films were pretty good. ;)

Some, SOME of the Trek films were good. II, III, IV, VI, and First Contact. The rest... well... Even Captains Kirk and Picard have off days. ;)

I totally agree. I just had to, on principle, object to the very notion of involving V in that list.

Didn't U.S. Marshalls come out in the 90's too?
Cannot think of a name

I thought you were objecting to them making a redux of the series V...hehe...


But TV movie? Bah! That's not even worth getting outraged about, it will come and go as unnoticed as Team Knight Rider where it was a pack of Ford products.

There is no Trans Am anymore and thus really can't be a Knight Rider, just an anonymous ex-cop private law enforcement guy with a talking car, which I will admit is remarkably like Knight Rider, except the car isn't a Trans Am.

I liked U.S. Marshals. But it was a sort of spin off movie of The Fugitive.

Gotta have the chest hair.
Oh, and i heard he wasn't only a metrosexual, the car also has a love interest. A la Transformers.
...
What "Team Knight Rider" (emphasizes your point)?

Team Knight Rider (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Team_Knight_Rider), you know you want to find videos of it, you know you do.

Except you don't. I actually watched more than one episode of this. I don't know why, I just did. I'm not proud...

the reappearance of Michael Knight, seen only from behind, at the very end.
How very, very appropriate.

No idea what the Bear thing is...But if its meant to signify a low, it would have to be bad to beat 'Charlies Angels'. They're making one of "Dallas" but apparently its a pisstake....

As a trend, the TV show-to-movie is even more annoying than the 'needless remake'....

Seriously, how can you fuck up two rednecks driving around jumping stuff in a car.

Surely it's not beneath him at this point? He's still working on how to eat a hamburger, as scuttlebutt has it.
