Y'know, if this remake trend keeps up, the program listings for pay cable movie channels are gonna start to read like TV Listings.

You know, if this movie isn't set in Hawaii; Magnum doesn't drive a red Ferrari; and he doesn't stay with a British guy named Higgins, I don't want to see it.

Someone should tell Matt he has to wear a shirt when he drives the Ferrari.

I never really watched the show when it was on, so why on earth would I watch the remake?

I'm just saying it's very humid in Hawaii, and we don't want Matt to stick to anything.

Some poor intern is going to have to wipe down the whole interior after filming.

I was just watching an episode of Magnum yesterday. Tom Selleck was punched out by none other than Gregory Sierra (:eyes:) - and ended up being the best man at his wedding. Magnum and Higgins helped put the whole thing together. :lol: Matt can't even come close to the coolness that isTom Selleck - Tom IS Magnum! So there. :lol:

Matthew McConaughey is all about shaving his chest. Magnum was a man with a wooly bear chest.. a mans man. Not this Sissy McConaughey. And I dont' think he can pull off the stash like Selleck. And if he doesn't have one, then he's not Magnum.
The sad thing is, when I think of an alternative. I can't.
Hollywood isnt' about being manly anymore, all the stars that are masculine are just toto old now :(
I wouldn't make this movie.
Now that I think about it, Higgins could grow a better stashe then McConaugey.
