The Dukes of Hazzard

Saw this linked on pvponline this morning.

I'm usually not a fan of Jessica Simpson and her acting is usually atrocious, although I'm pretty sure she didn't get this part for her acting skills...

This movie will suck harder than catwoman.

I absolutely hate remakes like this, but I have to admit the trailer looked like it has a pretty fun cast. Damn, Mrs. Simpson looks fucking hot as hell.

Could be really good.

the trailer was nicely paced. This thing is gonna make some serious $bring$.

And also http://www.veeshanvault.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5160 but it has bad info in it so, uh, that's why I made a new topic.

No Confederate flag? I guess they won't call it the General Lee then, either. General dismay then for all the Hazard fans out there.

coo coo coo

I played the Dukes of Hazzard game demo on Xbox and it was pretty fun for the one high speed chase included in the demo. Yeeeee hawwww!

Actually I rewatched and saw edges of the flag on the car so it looks like it is there.

Johnny Knoxville as Luke? Oh fuck no.

Personally i think rednecks are bad enough WITHOUT making movies about them.
Think about how much the money used to make this movie could have improved schools in the south. I mean, some of the kids might even have learned to read if they had spend the cash on a better school system

Daisy wanst blonde

Boss Hog wasnt tall or that slilm

And Bo and Luke were attractive, these guys are not. This is just garbage. Id rather see the original cast in their old glory than these people

Uncle Jesse is about as close as they can get but still not the same

Hence... remake.

Worse than Catwoman? I highly doubt that's possible. It looks like a fun movie in a mindless entertainment sorta way. I think it will do ok in the theatres. Burt Reynolds and Willie Nelson... Can't miss!

I predict Jessica Simpson will be the worst part of this movie. That accent of hers in the trailer was pretty bad.

Hmm, do i really need to remind people about Burt Reynolds role as Congressman David Dilbeck in Striptease. So yes, a BR movie can go bad too.

Do we really need to remind you of this concept called "obvious sarcasm"?

yeah thank got they didn't remove that symbol of slavery and oppression from the car otherwise it wouldn't have worked.

I don't get why people like those confederate flag window graphics so much, you know, the kind you see in the back window of pickup trucks.

Kyou's right, it is a pretty big reminder of slavery...

My friend wanted one for his truck because "they look cool"

I told him he was stupid.

Aslanna · Post by **Aslanna** » May 15, 2005, 8:24 pm

I'm guessing it's there because it was part of the original character (car) not because whitey wanted to kick sand in the black man's face.

But as to it 'working' without it there I'm sure most people probably wouldn't notice except those who were familiar with the show growing up.

I don't think that's the case. It's modernized and I'm fairly certain they are wanting to attract an audience greater than the already established fans.

I refuse to watch any retro-esque comedy that doesn't have one of the following:

Ben Stiller
Owen Wilson
Will Ferrell
Vince Vaughn
Steve Carrel
Julie Andrews

Aslanna · Post by **Aslanna** » August 16, 2005, 1:47 pm

Not really as entertaining, mindless or otherwise, as I thought it would be. Certainly better than Catwoman though.

4/10!
