B.A. Baracus’s Best Insults From The A-Team TV Series

No offense to Quinton “Rampage” Jackson who plays B.A. Baracus in the big screen adaptation of The A-Team, but Mr. T will always be the B.A. of choice. His signature Mohawk haircut, mountain of gold neck chains and quick trigger temper made him one of the most memorable personalities from ’80s pop culture. B.A. was also known for his hysterical insults and threats. Writers made sure to reserve the best lines for his character. As luck would have it, someone was shrewd enough to edit together a video featuring some of B.A.’s greatest barbs. I pity the fool who doesn’t enjoy this! (Via scratchersscratcher on YouTube.)

New A-Team Trailer Increases Nostalgia Factor by Roughly 300%

Remember the A-Team teaser from a couple months ago? The one introducing us to the revival of the beloved ’80s-TV mercenaries, adapted to slicker, more contemporary and/or insanely expensive action-film tropes? If so, the new trailer that premiered this morning will help flesh out the dimensions of that nostalgia trip. If not, you’re in for a treat! A bombastic, plotless, oversharing treat, but a delicious one nevertheless.

Of all the explosions and one-liners and appeals upon appeals to the 14-year-old boys in the viewing audience, the new trailer features no cannier move than to emerge a day after The Expendables trailer exposed us to the more grizzled side of mercenary living. Fox clearly will not be outshone by some glorified Sylvester Stallone B-movie, and nor will The A-Team’s smirking ensemble allow the more grizzled genre pros to usurp their birthrights to summer tentpole glory.

That said, it seems like there’s a little too much here — too many set pieces given away, too many ’80s callbacks hinted at… I mean, if you’re going make the symbolic effort of [SPOILER ALERT] destroying B.A. Baracus’s van as if to start the franchise anew, why tell me before you have my money? It’s not a new problem by any means, but come on, Hollywood: Save something for the theater. Because of course we’re going.

VERDICT: Sold!

Will Ferrell & Mark Wahlberg Team Up For A-Team Spoof

Mark Wahlberg will play a cop in new comedy B Team

Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell are to star as cops in new comedy B Team.

The movie will be directed by Adam McKay, Empire reports, who worked with Will on the hit comedy Anchorman as well as Talladega Nights and Step Brothers.

The duo are currently working together on their Broadway show You're Welcome America: A Final Night With George W Bush.

While Mark has played a serious cop before - first in Martin Scorsese's The Departed and more recently as a revenge seeking officer in action flick Max Payne - this will be his first comedy cop venture.

But the 37-year-old former rapper - aka Marky Mark - has done comedy before in I Heart Huckabees.
