*Has The A-Team season four on DVD*
*Is happy about this*
Hmm. And I think this smoothie-thingy is out of date. It taste a bit fizzy-weird. Lordi, I wish somebody had thought up a better name than "smoothie". Still - The A-Team season four! Hurrah! And I still have my mother's car keys in my pocket. Damn. That's not a good thing, is it.
Okay, so it's now two hours later, and yes, I did get distracted by The A-Team, thank you. The feature-length season four opener, "Judgement Day". Hurrah! Must have been ages since I saw that one, as there were large chunks of it I didn't remember. Fabulous stuff. Some particularly good scenes for Face, especially in the fight sequences. And directed by David Hemmings, which is always good to see. He had a cameo, too, which was nice. Always did a good job with the team, did David Hemmings. He seemed to "get" the humour better than some of the directors they had over the years. Still slipped into that old TV trap of having the characters display superhuman eyesight, though. How the hell is Decker able to see that that's Hannibal in that window-washer's lift?!:
Still, that's TV for you, I guess. Lovely touch just before this scene, actually, where the bad guys are seen to be flying Airwolf. Okay, so it's not really. No white patches for starters. The similarity is remarkable, though. Naughty. And very funny.
*Snigger*
This bit surprised me. Like I said, it must have been some time since I saw this one, as I was totally confused when Hannibal turned up in one of his hugely unconvincing disguises, and it turned out that he was actually one of the bad guys. Echoes of that episode of Thunder In Paradise, when the bad guy is Bru in a beard. Really, really obviously, Bru in a beard. Just as this is really, really obviously Hannibal in a moustache and wig. And a bad case of overacting.
You're not fooling anybody, you know.
Usual sort of plot. The team are hired by a judge to rescue his daughter from some mobsters. The extra time is used to great effect, and there are two fabulous stunts within the first ten minutes or so. Some wonderful explosions, too. Face blew up that many caravans, I could practically hear Top Gear applauding. This must have been a really expensive episode, and it's beautifully made. And to think that this was the season when the network execs lost faith in the show. Unbelievable. Unless it was Face's wardrobe that put them off of course. I ask you - a lemon yellow shirt with white collar and cuffs?! And that tie... Face, I love you, you know that. But wtf are you wearing?!
"It's 1985," is not an excuse...
*Trails off into screencap land, as it's silly o'clock, and the typing is starting to fail*
It's usually best not to ask...
But I think it's a killer croissant.
Largely irrelevant to the plot, but included for gratuitous Face-and-Murdockage.
And 'cause it's cute.
'Night.
