Buy Or Don’t Buy

I’m talking about those television shows and movies that were totally “rad” back in the day that had explosives and a lack of plot. It’s already been rumored that the A-Team might be made ironically as a frat-bro comedy. But today’s post is focusing on MacGyver.

While half the nation cringed as MacGruber, a MacGyver-like character, marketed Pepsi during the Superbowl, the other half liked it. People find MacGyver ironically cool. So why not make a feature length movie based on this idiotic interest? So MacGyver: The Movie is on it’s way.

No writer is attached, but the studio hopes to find a script that can acknowledge how the concept has staked a place into pop culture yet still makes for a serious and fun adventure movie.

“We think we’re a stick of chewing gum, a paper clip and an A-list writer away from a global franchise,” said New Line’s Richard Brener, who will oversee with Sam Brown and Walter Hamada.(source)

Ew. Ew. I am not ready for this. Who is their A-list star and writer?  And since when was an A-list writer a household item? Besides the fact that this movie in no way can be good, the advertising campaign for it will be horrendous and probably will resemble a shopping list for Office Max.
