My thoughts on…MacGyver: The Movie?
You don’t know how I feel right now. I’m hearing that there’s gonna be a MacGyver movie. At Maker Faire, Lee David Zlotoff, creator of MacGyver announced the movie is in the planning stages. I loved watching MacGyver as a kid. He was a hero that used brain over brawn to get out of tight spots, which appealed to me and many other geeks out there. The man could construct ANYTHING out of seemingly unrelated items. You could leave the man locked up in a room with no possible way out surrounded by bombs, and all he’d need to escape and diffuse the bombs would be a pocket knife, a paperclip, and a piece of string.
There’s a pic of the hero with his trademark mullet, a missile made from one of Lindsay Lohan’s sex toys, a bottle nipple and some gunpowder, topped off with that “don’t f**k with me” expression on his face. If you still cannot comprehend the awesomeness of this god of gadgetry, here’s a list of problems he’s solved on the TV show. If these people have the sense to follow through with this, it could would be…epic! MacGyver appeals to just about everyone, so they’d make an obscene amount of money. I wonder how they’re gonna approach it. Will they cast good ol’ Richard Dean Anderson, or will they reboot it Nolan style and cast a younger MacGyver? Whatever they do, there’s one thing that must remain constant: the mullet. For now, I’ll keep my eye out on this one.
