This Makes Two...

...reviews that I've read today that say that The Dukes of Hazzard movie stinks. US magazine said "Stinks like burnt rubber."

I had a particularly good, or is it bad, review from The Seattle Times to link here, but hey, it's Friday and the goddamn computers shit the bed again...but you all don't want to hear me go on about how I'm sitting in the basement, so I'll shut up about that.

To continue, I will admit here and now that I was a fan of the original show and cast, pictured here. I was nine years old when that series began, and I can still to this day remember the lyrics to the theme song (who can't, though). Hey, I was young, and it was on Friday nights, and what the hell else is a nine year old going to do? Besides, Dallas was on right after, so my mother never complained. To me it was a funny show, with your basic good vs. bad stuff. And I loved that damn car. I'm still a freak for a fast, loud car...or you may say I'm just a freak, but poop on you!

Now that I'm an "adult" I can see this show for the big wheel of cheese that it is. I laugh now at how stupid it really is, but it's still one of my favorite shows to watch. Like comfort food, it's my mashed potatoes.

Needless to say, I won't be shelling out the money to see this movie, either in the theaters or on DVD. Seann William Scott will always be "Stifler" to me, and that Knoxville character is just a, well, jackass. As for Jessica Simpson, I'm a woman, so she doesn't do anything for me, and if she acts the way she sings, OHMAGOD, we'd better get ready for a lot of crappy movies.
