  1. Is this going to be a prequel to the film or are the trying to forget the film? If its a prequel we're going to have to look at the beat up General with the dull orange like in the begining of the movie. I do like the concept.
  2. This is just a guess, but I think you're best bet is on TV. Beyond that I haven't found anything on the net yet either. I've missed most of them on the TV too. Sorry if the opening sounded sarcastic, I just couldn't resist.
  3. Okay I realize people don't live on the forums all the time, but I'm getting a little stretched thin with one of these posts every couple of weeks. I wish people would read the other posts so they can complain there. Perhaps a Sticky post for everyone who hates the cast. Then another sticky for how the movie is ruining their childhood. I'm sorry life is rough, but your childhood and future should not be able to be ruined by a movie. Come on. Its like all of those Star Wars fans complaining that George Lucas "raped their childhood." It sounds like the Dukes are doing their job as a family show in your house. Cool. I cut my teeth on a toy General Lee and my first crush was Daisy. I've seen them all and sat through the second reunion movie. That should have ruined any fan's memories. But I watch and I still love the dukes. Hollywood will cast these movies to appeal to the 18 year old demographic. That's why we have this cast and it will be a fun movie. Leave it at being a fun movie and don't get bent out of shape. Ignore the movie if you want. The DVD's are great, watch them. As far as the ORANGE SWARM, wait until you see the movie (if you choose to) and quit saying the same things the other anti-Stiffler people have been saying for the past 8 months. Read some of the posts of the people who were on the set and see what they said. You're basing your argument on a 2 minute trailer. Just calm down and see. Sorry if this is flamey, I had to vent too.
  4. I've noticed that the people who are connected with the movie and saw the filming really thought it will be good. Maybe because they saw first hand how the story and characters will play out. Then there are the folks who are not happy because its a Hollywood revision and tend to screw things up. I'm going to the movie with no expectations. The jumps look good. The banter seems funny. I'll enjoy it for what it is, a revisionist take of the Dukes in 2005. Then I'll go home, pop in the DVD and remember my childhood. Its all good for me.
  5. I have the idea that the writers don't even know. Instead of doing background character development, they depended on the car chases. Not a judgement call, but they seemed to write new family into place whenever they needed a place to go when they were losing the farm or need a replacement cousin. I think the writers played on the large southern family too much. Now if they did do character development to the point they should have, I wonder if the family tree forks. Daisy made that joke in the first episode which makes ya wonder.
  6. I know the current seasons are selling good and 3 and 4 will do the same. I have to wonder though what will happen with Coy and Vance come to town. Will the DVD sales tank and then we'll lose releases on the final 2 seasons? Or will they not release the Coy and Vance Episodes? I'd like to have the Coy and Vance episodes. I know I'm in the minority. I definitely want to own all the seasons.
  7. I would go along with a former script writer from the show to pen the movie if you can promise me they had nothing to do with the last reunion movie.
  8. Woops! We exceed his user acount bandwidth limitations. Hopefully the link will be back up in a couple of days.
  9. Wasn't that a 2006 Charger at the beginning of the clip driving by. I may be wrong.
  10. So far we've only seen the trailer. It's possible those things might be there in part. Trailers are just eye candy. Granted the director doesn't seem family oriented, I doubt Warner Bros will let it go too far. The rumors that we've heard about Jesse smoking weed and such for example will probably be cut. I'm sure we'll see protection for daisy. Since their saving the farm there will probably be a Duke family moment. Who knows.
  11. If we had only ever saw "One Arm Bandits" we'd probably not call the show a family show. We've had all those seasons with the show knowing the values of the Duke Family. It's really difficult to pull off that same feel a 2 hour movie while keeping the impact. It doesn't help that a good majoritiy of the culture is going braindead.
  12. Don't forget the times that Daisy jumped into a bikini to distract a cop or bad guy in the original. She was a tease! From what I saw in the trailer, the new daisy is pulling the same tricks. The original Daisy was also really tough, we saw that too in the trailer when Simpson knocked the dude in the floor at the nest. The "where do i get an application" is very in character for Luke. Go back and watch the original and see how many times he has a clever one liner around a girl. I think what we'll have to get used to is modern filing techniques and dialogue.
  13. The General in the movie is a 69 charger. No reason to freak out yet. Unless they do a sequel and opt for an update. Still, isn't that the concept car from a few years back? Granted I have no clue want Chrysler is doing.
  14. I've got to wonder if Rosco's part in the movie is going to be as big as it was in the movie. The website doesn't have a Rosco wallpaper or buddy icon. All of the reviews posted here doesn't make mention of Rosco's role. Will there be a comedy duo with Boss and Rosco or will he be just a country sheriff under the main antagonist, Boss Hogg?
  15. Season 5 followed by several great episodes in Season 7 about a robotic sheriff and then an alien. Man those were great. Actually I really do like some of the Coy and Vance episodes. For real Probably season 3&4 is my favorite.
  16. Yeah I think your right, I knew it was something with dressing rooms.
  17. James Best held out for better dressing room because of all the scenes where he was getting drenched jumping the car into a pond.
  18. We should distinguish the word liberal and democrat. One is not the same as the other. Today liberal means those on the extreme left who hold somewhat socialists values under the guise of compassion. Democrats are members of a polical party who like a larger federal government to provide rights they believe are necessary. The democrats were not always liberal as liberal means today. Not all Democrats today are liberals. Joe Libermen (sp) is not what I call a liberal but he is a democrat. And although I republican I like Liberman because his policy are not an extreme ideology. Anyway, for what its worth, Jones may be a democrat, but that does make him a Hollywood liberal,. Nor does it mean that we should say every democrat is a liberal.
  19. I must admit that I was a Coy and Vance fan. Although I though the acting left something to be desired, there was something fun about it. I was glad to see Bo and Luke back, but more could have been done with the Coy and Vance characters, like bring them back for a special 2 hour episode in another season to help save the farm from the worst Hogg scheme yet.
  20. Good to hear they sent him to driver school like John Schnieder did. I hate seeing a stunt person with a bad haircut in a shot then seconds later there's the actor.
  21. In One Arm Bandits , Rosco was not the idiot he became later. Gainey's protrayal might be close to what was written in the original series treatment. Go back and watch, Rosco was more serious then say, Season 2. I think I like that they aren't wearing the same clothes. Come on, if Bo Duke is wearing 1979 clothes in 2005 he'd never go skinny-dipping with "Mary-Jo HIllbilly Name". Bo did always wear a blue T-shirt under his yellow shirt and SW Scott is wearing a blue shirt, Knoxville is in plaid like Wopat, just a different color. Jesse and Boss look the same. Who knows about the police. I'll just be excited to see the General jumping.
  22. I didn't realize until I started watching the DVDs how much was shot on a sound stage. When your 4 and watching broadcast you can't tell much. I couldn't even tell as much on TNN a few years back. Maybe because of a more critical eye I can see it now, and DVD enhances the color and such. A good example- I never realized that the tail lights of the general are on at the final jump of the opening credits until I watched the DVD and saw them come on as it landed. How could I have missed that for the past 20 years?
  23. Remember when the Bo and Luke accidentally got a shipment of marijuana instead of a water heater. Cooter probably means they weren't using the drugs. Plenty of sex. Daisy in a bikini to distract the enemy. Suggestions of the boys gettting down with the farmers' daughters Maybe no one was seen doing the deed but tv/movies can easily ellude to things. Of course none of this is near as blatent as what today's movies depict.
  24. Come on! This is a good revenue stream for Jones. He hasn't got much else going on but a few plays and such. The man has been typecast as "Cooter" forever. And the people want it. Have you seen his museum? It rocks. Sure the prices are high but the man's got to make money. I didn't mind one bit paying $15 for my "cooters garage" hat. I believe he genuinely loves the show and it what it means to our culture. It seems he is the only vocal defender. I think the others in the cast just want to enjoy retirement or futher their careers. As for the political side. Sure he's a democrat. Doesn't make him a liberal even if he did support John Kerry. He's been talking about the family value of the show forever. He's from the South where those things mean a lot. I think upbringing means more than politics. No matter how politiical you become, ultimately your own experiences will mean more. For Jones, that means the historical and family values he learned will mean more that the Hollywood Liberal Machine. I am a Republican and lean pretty far right, but thats no reason to be supicious of the cast for being Democrats.
  25. I just read an article about the movie on MTV.com. They said they were going to make Roscoe less "hokey" and the laught would be gone.. I just can't imagine an uptight Roscoe. He always made me laugh. What are the dukes with "Dipstick" and "Goo, Gi Gi" The article had some new pix also.
