Dear Hollywood: Stop raping my childhood. Again. KThxBye.

Dear Hollywood: Please stop raping my childhood, okay? The Transformers thing was fair, but GI Joe was so ultimately sad, and thank the Gods you never got as far as you wanted with Knight Rider. But The A-Team? Really? With Liam Neeson as Hannibal Smith?

At least Masters of the Universe had the finest homoerotic S&M flogging scene ever filmed for a children's movie.

Well, as long as they expend several thousand rounds of ammunition, as well as a number of explosive devices, in every encounter, without actually killing or seriously hurting anyone, I'll be happy.

You know, I think I saw that as retarded and exceedingly unlikely by the time I was 7 or 8.

Which brings me to: so what if they skewered the A-Team. It was crap. If anything, it's probably more likely to be better than the TV series because really, you can't do worse anyway.

Elf? You know what I saw in Fred's yesterday? Records. Actual vinyl, NEWLY PRESSED. There is *nothing* new under the sun, at least not in Hollyweird.

Besides. The trailer looked like a good spoof on itself, and who knows, Liam might actually pull off Hannibal. Or make something *gasp* new of him...

They're even redoing The Karate Kid and Clash of the Titans...
