These words were spoken quite a few times by Higgens in what was once my favorite TV show of the 80's......the great Magnum P.I. Well, I've been following this story for several years, and it seems that the much talked about big screen version of that 80's hit is finally getting off the ground. After reading numerous reports concerning who would play the mustache man in the Hawaiian shirt, it seems the part was offered to none other than Matthew McConafuck. The first folks talked about were Clooney and Affleck, then Nick Cage, and there was even a chance that good old Tom Selleck might reprise his famous role, but no more. It was officially offered to the no shirt wearing, naked bongo playing, midnight toker himself. I guess it could be worse, and who knows, he might just nail it. My only hope is that is isn't given the Starskey and Hutch treatment. That was just pathetic. Of course the script was written by the man who wrote Dodge Ball......so I guess I'm screwed. Who cares you say? Well I do and so do all the other folks my age who watched this show with excitement each week. Hell, I even bought a Hawaiian shirt or two....if only I could have grown a mustache like that at 12. Who am I kidding, I can't grow one like that at 37! Now there is only the question of who will play Rick, TC, and Higgy Baby. I can't wait to find out.....or maybe, I can. Shit!
