Not much Macho in that Taco

Did y'all hear who's allegedly going to be in the Magnum, P.I. movie?

McConaughey as Magnum. William H. Macy as Higgins. Steve Zahn as Rick. Fucking Tyrese as TC.

Jesus H. W. Christ in a sidecar drinking tequila. Why does Hollywood have its head so damn far up its own ass?

I'm telling you right now, "the kids" aren't going to go see this movie, no matter who's in it. People like me -- early 30s to mid-40s, who watched the show in prime time and have since TiVoed and DVD'd the shit out of all 8 years of it -- WE'RE the ones you want to aim at. And WE want the original cast, no exceptions. Even Manetti, the little bastard, because Rick's a friggin doofus and we like it that way.

So Selleck's over 60 and the power alleys are lookin more like power highways these days -- he looks plenty younger than that (I'd believe 50), he's a lot more with-it mentally than some other people who are reprising decades-old roles at present (yeah, I'm talkin about you, Harrison "Indiana Jones and the Walker of Doom" Ford), and even more to the point, no one else can be Thomas Sullivan Magnum IV.

As for John Hillerman -- he's listed by IMDB as "retired," but I can't stand the idea of anyone else as Higgins. Goddammit, pay him enough dough to do a couple of days' worth of shoots, have him be happily retired on the estate -- which, in Higgins' case, would be still in uniform, directing a younger staff whose service is, naturally, Not Up To Snuff. Just as long as he gets to say "Oh. My. God." at least once ...

HILLERMAN NO?
WE WON'T GO!

NO SELLECK
NO PEACE
