Re: Jay Hernandez and Twitter

Yes, that's the one. Then he proceeds to call people who are upset effin' idiots and such. I personally don't get it. I'm Canadian* so have no skin in the game with US politics. However, with Trump's kids marrying Jews, Ivanka converting to Judaism, and in effect making Trump's Grandchildren Jewish...

Re: Jay Hernandez and Twitter

I took the poll literally and went for the second choice -'Yes - taking a side alienates a portion of the audience' Personally I avoid most large social media outlets (facebook, twitter, etc.) save to communicate with friends or family I'm nowhere near within visiting distance of. And I'll agree tha...

Re: If You Removed Everything about Magnum PI ........

I'm trying to look at these early episodes like any other show. I hated Star Trek: TNG when it first came out. The characters were clunky and not believable, but over time they developed and became more established. I've experienced most shows this way, and usually end up waiting for the second or ...

Re: Season 1 Episode 2: From The Head Down (1.2)

It's tough to say who is and isn't a great actor today- and in fairness this goes for Jay Hernandez as well- whatever my misgivings for the reboot. I tell myself part of this is just generational bias. I'm getting old, and I hate having my sacred cows bent over a stump and cynically used. If you hav...

Another behind the scenes exclusive from the Magnum Mania Investigative Unit... here's a photo of Perdita Weeks in wardrobe this morning :shock: https://i.imgur.com/AC5qkMz.jpg Your picture made me think... isn't it politically incorrect to use the term Dober mans ? Shouldn't it be "Dober persons "...

Re: The Trailer

I get it, I am not someone to be objective about Magnum, but if I were, I'd say this trailer doesn't "get" the spirit of the series. To quote the Bard "it is a tale .... full of sound and fury, signifying nothing". Come now. I'd say it's at least deserving of the quote in full. Nice . . . I conside...

How about tryin' some of this! http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b430/MagnumSteve-O/H-Punch_zps3mjtquhz.png :D "Makes one quart of suck" - that's quite a lot of suck.

No I haven't seen anything yet to change my mind. So why not take it further and change it to; 'Minimum p.i.'

Re: Possibility of a Magnum PI Open world game?

Played Test Drive Two unlimited but never made it to the island. Fun game though and certainly better than what it evolved into with 'The Crew.'

Re: Give it a chance

Not going to attack anyone over it. The most damaging reaction they could receive, in my opinion, is disinterest.

Re: The Trailer

Wathced a new trailer today. Basically the same footage, same sequence, BUT different incidental music. Didn't sound quite as Fast and Furious as the original. And some goofy "Komin'at choo lika tigah" song was dropped. Can you tell what I think of modern music?? LOL! :magnum: Wonder if someone who...

Actually, the new guy doesn't look bad... if you give him Tom Selleck's hair, moustache and eyebrows: https://i.imgur.com/O9p9sKp.jpg Unless they change the hair colour the only thing he'll be good for is singing the autotune versions of 'Time In A Bottle', 'Operator', and 'Child of midnight' inste...

Re: The Trailer

In contrary to many comments here, I applaud the way that they've done Higgins! I love Higgins and I love the way how Hillerman played the role! No contemporary actor could create something similar, we'd always be comparing him with Hillerman. So instead of imitating the traditional Higgins, they w...
