Yea I'm getting that alot of people prefer the orignal to the cheap s!utey knock off. Oh well that hollywood for ya.

Yea your totally right and as a guy I would like to say there is only one thing I want to see Jessica doing and she can only do it on her back...I applogize if I just offended anyone but come on she had to do something "extra" to get this part. She's 'a braindead blond. Now some people say thats just acting...well then she must be acting 24/7. She dosen't have an original thought in her head hell most of her "music videos"...and I use that word loosely with her most of them are just cheap rip offs of others. THis new one she just made These boots are made for walking that an old one hit wonder by Nancy Sinatra I bet ypu thats the only reason why she did the duke movie. She saw John Rolland wood a pretty good song mind you oringal and every thing and she must have been listing to some one hit wonder her little brain started going...Okay if I use the general I can rip off another song... or something like that. Hell I doubt that her brain can even produce that thought. Hey WTF no her videos are jsust an excuse for her to parade around her quzi porn like atitude.

Okay folks here it is for anyone who cares at this point. The first and last word on a movie. Roger Eberts review. Like everyone figured the movie didn't go over big with the critics. The movie only got 1 star. "The Dukes of Hazzard" is a comedy about two cousins who are closer'n brothers, and their car, which is smarter'n they are. It's a retread of a sitcom that ran from about 1979 to 1985, years during which I was able to find better ways to pass my time. Yes, it is still another TV program I have never ever seen. As this list grows, it provides more and more clues about why I am so smart and cheerful. The movie stars Johnny Knoxville, from "Jackass," Seann William Scott, from "American Wedding," and Jessica Simpson, from Mars. Judging by her recent conversation on TV with Dean Richards, Simpson is so remarkably uninformed that she should sue the public schools of Abilene, Texas, or maybe they should sue her. On the day he won his seventh Tour de France, not many people could say, as she did, that they had no idea who Lance Armstrong was. Of course you don't have to be smart to get into "The Dukes of Hazzard." But people like Willie Nelson and Burt Reynolds should have been smart enough to stay out of it. Here is a lame-brained, outdated wheeze about a couple of good ol' boys who roar around the back roads of the South in the General Lee, their beloved 1969 Dodge Charger. As it happens, I also drove a 1969 Dodge Charger. You could have told them apart because mine did not have a Confederate flag painted on the roof. Scott and Knoxville play Bo Duke and Luke Duke; the absence of a Puke Duke is a sadly missed opportunity. They deliver moonshine manufactured by their Uncle Jesse (Willie Nelson), and depend on the General to outrun the forces of Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane (M.C. Gainey). The movie even has one of those obligatory scenes where the car is racing along when there's a quick cut to a gigantic Mack truck, its horn blasting as it bears down on them. They steer out of the way at the last possible moment. That giant Mack truck keeps busy in the movies, turning up again and again during chase scenes and always just barely missing the car containing the heroes, but this is the first time I have seen it making 60 mph down a single-lane dirt track. Simpson plays Daisy Duke, whose short shorts became so famous on TV that they were known as "Daisy Dukes." She models them to a certain effect in a few brief scenes, but is missing from most of the movie. Maybe she isn't even smart enough to wear shorts. I learn from the Internet that Simpson has a dog named Daisy, but have been unable to learn if she named it before or after being signed for the role, and whether the dog is named after the character, the shorts, the flower, or perhaps (a long shot) Daisy Duck. The local ruler is Boss Jefferson Davis Hogg (Burt Reynolds), "the meanest man in Hazzard County," who issues orders to the Sheriff and everybody else, and has a secret plan to strip-mine the county and turn it into a wasteland. I wonder if there were moments when Reynolds reflected that, karma-wise, this movie was the second half of what "Smokey and the Bandit" was the first half of. There are a lot of scenes in the movie where the General is racing down back roads at high speeds and becomes airborne, leaping across ditches, rivers and suchlike, miraculously without breaking the moonshine bottles. Surely if you have seen, say, 12 scenes of a car flying through the air, you are not consumed by a need to see 12 more. There is a NASCAR race in the film, and some amusing dialogue about car sponsorship. You know the film is set in modern times because along with Castrol and Coke, one of the car sponsors is Yahoo! I noted one immortal passage of dialogue, about a charity that is raising money for "one of the bifidas." I was also amused by mention of "The Al Unser Jr. Story," an "audiobook narrated by Laurence Fishburne." The movie has one offensive scene, alas, that doesn't belong in a contemporary comedy. Bo and Luke are involved in a mishap that causes their faces to be blackened with soot, and then, wouldn't you know, they drive into an African-American neighborhood, where their car is surrounded by ominous young men who are not amused by blackface, or by the Confederate flag painted on the car. I was hoping maybe the boyz n the hood would carjack the General, which would provide a fresh twist to the story, but no, the scene sinks into the mire of its own despond.

This probably a dumb question but why are people getting so bent out of shape over the confederate flag being on the General Lee. That is what the general looks like I mean the movie makers have made so many changes to the movie but altering the general...that’s just something they won’t do. Maybe it’s just me but why didn’t these same people complain back in 70’s and 80s when the show was being made.

Yea sure I got the site right here http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/frontpage Of course it won't be a crtic favorite that much is given. But Roger Ebert is a wise man who knows his stuff. Me persoally I'll read what a critic has to say on certain matters (not all just on entertainment). I'd rather save my money for stuff thats more important like white wash lol. But hey whatever you want to go out and see the movie that is your right me I'll save my money for the next movie to come out of Hollywood.

Well folks here it is 2 days before the "big event" heres what roger ebert says about the movie in his preveiw of the up and coming disaster. Some people seem to remember seeing the "Dukes of Hazzard" TV show that ran from 1979 to 1985, while others do not. How will this affect the prospects for the feature film version (which follows a 1997 TV reunion special, "The Dukes of Hazzard: Reunion!," and a 2000 TV reunion special, "The Dukes of Hazzard: Hazzard in Hollywood," and a 2004 video game for PlayStation2 and X-Box called "The Dukes of Hazzard: Return of the General Lee") and several other merchandising opportunities? Will fans of the original show be eager to see the re-cast film version that Cooter (actor Ben Jones) from the series finds so raunchy that he has organized a boycott of the film (see www.cootersplace.com): "Don't go unless they clean it up!"? Will such longtime viewers accept Johnny Knoxville and Seann William Scott and Jessica Simpson as Luke, Bo and Daisy Duke -- roles created by Tom Wopat, John Schneider, and Catherine Bach, respectively? Will others who don't even know what "The Dukes of Hazzard" is be tempted to go to a film by that name? Some of those questions will be answered, and others will be asked and answered or not answered, when the movie opens July 31. (Jim Emerson)

Eh it might be a little hard for him to play Boss hog and the bandit are at two different ends of the scale. Boss hog is use to the higher end things were as the banit is use to the simple life in comparison.

lol yea I think thats what everone thinks about them those two are jackasses the one playong dasiy is a ditsy blond. Uncle Jessie...willy nelson love his music but he looks like a hippy. I can't buy Burt Renolds as boss hog. Hey I think I found a consistency error in the new movie... lol well maybe not but here it is anyway. Boss Hog is dead that was estabilished in one of the first few movies I can't remember what the title is...but anyway it begs the question so how can Burt be playing a dead character. Maybe Burt should focus on doing his up and coming Smokey and the Bandit 4 movie
