Fall, Glimmer, Sparkle and Fade

Since I can't figure out what, if anything, to do with this site. I guess a 'Best Of' post will have to do for now. So here is a rant that was first posted on March 22, 2002.

The Best of Fall, Glimmer, Sparkle and Fade Part 1


It started as a joke. Just a passing comment. But after talking about it for a while, it really doesn't seem like something that far out of the realm of possibility. I'm, of course, talking about 'The A-Team' Movie. Before you think it wouldn't work, just think about it. They made a 'Charlie's Angles' movie for christ's sake. The most important part of such a movie, even before the story, is the casting. A friend of mine and I came up with a very preliminary list, but let me know what you think. For the part of Hanibal, there were a lot of names we were throwing around. Harrison Ford: maybe. Tommy Lee Jones: not smug enough. The person we both thought could possibly do the best job is Bruce Willis. Wait, wait, wait, just hear me out. If you are bored, watch an episode of the show and i promise you will be able to see Bruce playing that role. The next role that needs to be cast is Face. Not that easy of a job. I suggested Jason Lee, but as much as I like him, he isn't quite to the level of stardom the producers would be looking for and he isn't really a 'stud'. Hugh Jackman(sp?) might work, but definately doesn't have the star power yet to join this cast. Matt Damon was mentioned for a second, but he isn't quite charismatic enough, although he has the looks. My other suggestion and our best choice so far is Brad Pitt. He certainly has the attitude, he's likeable and he obviously has the looks. The easiest of the roles to cast is that of Mr. T's character BA. I don't see any reason why Michael Clarke Duncan couldn't play the role. Plus, he's co-starred with Bruce Willis before, so they would definately have the chemistry. The hardest role to cast is that of Murdoch(sp?). It was suggested, although I disagreed, that Jim Carrey could play the role. I just could never see Jim having a role in any form of action movie, even if the character he's playing is supposed to be a little 'disturbed'. I again suggested Jason Lee even though I know he wouldn't really fit in the role, I just like to see him get roles with really big names. We weren't happy with anyone we mentioned to play Murdoch, so that's still up in the air... any ideas? Does this all sound crazy? Good. I can see it now: the trailer that has been approved for all audiences playing for a packed house. The cast: Bruce Willis, Brad Pitt, Michael Clarke Duncan and _____. After a montage of action shots from the flick, it ends with Bruce Willis holding a cigar saying 'I love it when a plan comes together.' This could be HUGE!
