I haven't seen it, I'm not going to see it!

Thanks to you guys who've watched it and written your thoughts here.
It's pretty funny reading some of the responses... I was half hoping for it to be great too.

I've only seen the first trailer and can happily leave it at that...

Re: Should I move to Oahu?

My wife and I briefly considered moving to Hawaii for a year for a change of scene.

It's all well and good being a tourist, but the social situation can be a little isolating if you're not from Hawaii. You'll forever be a mainlander and thus an outsider.

Re: Anyone Change of Heart?

Fandom in general is getting pretty toxic these days and I'd hate to see Magnum Maniacs getting themselves upset about the new series. I'm a huge Star Wars fan but Star Wars fans are all so crazy/bitter about something. It seems the same with other things. There's more important things to do. Go for...

Re: Anyone Change of Heart?

I don't get why people are angry. Life is too short to be shitty about a show you're probably not even going to watch.

It's not like anyone has gone back in time to replace the original cast and reshoot the original series.

I don't even see it as a reboot. This Magnum is totally different.

Re: Give it a chance

I remain optimistic but I'm not comparing.

Long time fans shouldn't really have anything invested in this show. If it's a steaming pile of rubbish then who cares.

I'm curious to see what the easter eggs will be referencing the original show.

Re: King Kam #44 tank top

Selleck was a member of the Honolulu Outrigger Canoe Club and I always thought it was his crew tank top for boat 44.
I think he also has one that was 14.

Re: Magim’s Fashion Faux Pas

The short shorts are funny. Magnum is funny. The whole thing is sort of hilarious. It's the 80s, what's not to like?

I've never been a fan of the team ring though. Hideous looking thing.

There are certainly braver fashion decisions going on then than what's on TV today.

Re: Buying a Rolex or Chronosport

Wonder how they’ll weave in the watch story into the new show. Rolexes are no longer something the average Navy Seal can afford. And either of the newer Coke or Batman GMTs we’ve seen are too new to be an inheritance. But that didn’t stop them the first time around. Yeah, I was thinking the same th...

Re: Buying a Rolex or Chronosport

Looks like Hernandez is keeping with the GMT tradition in his off time too. Wearing what is refered to as the Batman GMT due to the black/blue bezel combo. Reminds me more of Oreos :) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bk8dLFjHkSG/?hl=en&taken-by=plenkov Not sure if the image link is working, swiped it fr...

Re: Salesforce Founder/CEO Marc Benioff Purchases/Donates Ki

Or did he have to return it because of a series of unfortunate incidents that began when he initially purchased it? :wink:

Re: Buying a Rolex or Chronosport

Yep. Most of these mechanical watches in 2018 are either romantic things (be it the due to design heritage, history as a heirloom) ... or something to flash around showing off how much money you have. Richard Mille watches are the most revolting things I've ever seen. Money does not account for tast...

Conch 'Get Off My Lawn' Republican. :lol: https://media.giphy.com/media/11uV3l0wNmMIr6/giphy.gif I have to admit, I've never seen a Fast and the Furious movie, it doesn't appeal to me at all. If this is the sort of flavour we get in the reboot then so be it. Hernandez is no Selleck. He has to make h...

It'll be fine!

Something weird is happening to me... at first I hated the Magnum reboot. Now I find I'm looking forward to seeing what they've made of it. At first I thought Hernandez was terrible casting- but now I think it's genius. He's so different from Tom Selleck there's no point in comparing... what's the p...

Re: Buying a Rolex or Chronosport

Well, I turned 40 last month and my wife generously gave me a 2018 Rolex Submariner (and somehow avoided the waitlist). Not quite a Magnum watch but Magnum is one of the reasons I became interested in Rolex. I've also been enjoying articles on Jake's Rolex World ... and if you're a space nerd like m...
