Alright Tim, that is telling em'..... I'm gone Darrell

I got it for Father's Day last sunday. Smokey & The Bandit - Special Edition.. Let me just say they did an awesoem job on the sound , putting this in 5:1 surround. The sound and music is awesome now The picture and colars are a lot brighter now. They really cleaned up the transfrer for the this DVD. It doesn't seem that this movie is almost 30 years old now. The extras are decent. It is decent seeing Burt and Hal Needham reminisce about making the movie. There are even a few old interviews with Jackie Gleason. It was great seeing Paul Williams talk about it too. BUT where was Sally Field and Jerry Reed. Those 2 needed to be interviewed as they much apart of the film as the others. Maybe the "making of" could have been more like the Dukes BBQ on the season 1 DVD set. Have everyone together talking about the movie. Overall it is worth it just to see the new transfer in 5:1 surround sound. Maybe they could have included some other extras like different stunts that didn't make it in the movie or maybe line flubs or some scenes that didn't make it in the movie..... I'm gone Darrell

travelerF150 ..... I could not agree with you more. I have been preaching that since the movie came out last year. But to some people you are NOT a TRUE Dukes fan if you liked the movie. I say BS to that . All the nitpickin' and bellyachin' and how the movie was not like the series, blah blah blah was all that was heard for a long time. Now this prequel is being made and all heck is starting up again. Now the same nitpickin' and bellyachin' is just getting going. Oh well they are not going to please everyone. As far as the flag, if this is a prequel to the MOVIE then the general had no flag when they first got it. Thats is what I am guessing why there is no flag on it as has been spread over the interent. Like travelerF150 said , I will wait to see as it progresses. I have always said the nothing will beat the original series. But the movie was good in it's own right... I'm gone Darrell

Pulled out a CD I haven't heard in years ( I have way too many everywhere in the house ) ... The Four Horsemen - Nobody Said It Was Easy- a rock band with a bit of a Southern feel to them. 1. Moonshine - great song about 'shine 2. I Need A Thrill/Something Good - great driving song , definately reminds me of the movie driving scenes I'm gone Darrell

Remember everything you read on the internet is the TRUTH...... That is how rumors and gossip starts isn't it? ....... I'm gone Darrell

What was wrong with the cast of the 2005 movie? I guess people are still going to bash a good movie. Can't wait for this Direct-To-DVD movie to come out adn then let the that movie be trashed more... I'm gone Darrell

Keep preaching Tim.....Just keep preaching Don't know what good it will do, the movie is in production with a limited budget.... I'm gone Darrell

Did ya'll know there is a special edition DVD of Smokey & The Bandit that just came out a few weeks ago.... I am surprised that it took this long and wasn't really advertised or anything. I think they did a decent job with it. Some good extras... Format: AC-3, Color, Dolby, Special Edition, Subtitled, Widescreen, NTSC Language: English DVD Features: Available Subtitles: English, Spanish, French Available Audio Tracks: English (Dolby Digital 5.1), English (DTS) "Loaded Up and Truckin' - The Making of Smokey and the Bandit" featurette Snowman, What's Your 20? - The Smokey and the Bandit CB Tutorial I'm gone Darrell

Alright ..haven't posted on herre in a bit..... It was great t osee Denny Hamlin win one. I like him and his youthfulness unlike some of the so-called young guns who show nothing but disrespect and want everything handed to them.... Michigan is this weekend....Should be a good race. I have always liked this track.... I'm gone Darrell

Anyone watch the rebirth of ECW on the Sci-Fi channel? The WWE should have left ECW alone. Instead they made it like another WWE program. It was just awful and very disappointing..... The Dudley's promos on TNA saying they should have left it dead and buried were right on the money. I'm gone Darrell

Nacho Libre - Jack Black as a Mexican priest who moonlights a luchador(wrestler) to save an orphanage....... Miami Vice - Loved the series and the movie is from the same guy who made the series - Michael Mann I'm gone Darrell

Like I said , nothing will beat the original movie.... I'm gone Darrell

Taylor genuinely looks happy to be where he is. And he hasn't forgotten where he came from or who is friends are.... Like I said months ago - Taylor Hicks is the real deal...And our next American Idol... I'm gone Darrell

Like I said "Be Careful What You Wish For" You just might get it....... I'm gone Darrell

Oh well , can't like everything....... I'm gone Darrell "If you don't like me , BITE me" - Rick Steiner

I can't let my kids watch Raw and most of Smackdown (although Smackdown has better overall wrestling) because of the adult content.. I grew up watching wrestling when everything was done IN RING and had real interviews with passion. I am an old school wrestling fan and wish it could go back to days of territories and studio wrestling. Getting excited when a wrestler from a different territory came in for a few matches. I can't satnd the circus like atmosphere that the WWE has now. Changing wrestler's characters and gimmics. Not knowing who is a heel or good guy. Favorite Wrestlers: Ric Flair, The Road Warriors, "Captain Redneck" Dick Murdoch (that is where I got my screenname from) Favorite Fed: TNA Favorite old Fed: Georgia Championship Wrestling, Mid Atlantic Championship Wrestling, WCW - Antyhing that was on WTBS Favortie fued: Flair/Steamboat (probably the BEST matches ever) , Midnight Express/Road Warriors, Freebirds/Von Erichs... I'm gone Darrell

Not sure if it is legit or not....... I've seen this posted on the CGLFC forum also. There is no link as to where it came from and that makes me wonder... If it is true remember the saying " Be careful what you wish for " - to all the people who didn't like the movie and wanted Hollywood to make the "right" Dukes movie.. I'm gone Darrell

I love TNA now than when it first started when Vince Russo was booking and writing. Now they are back to real Wrestlin' although I still don't like the 6 sided ring. Sting was what got me back into TNA . But they have some real good wrestlers in their X division - AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels...I loved it hwen he brought Buff Bagwell and Lex Luger. Then the following week Rick Steiner..... I know a lot of people are lokking at TNA as WCW reborn , but it is not. They just need some name recognition to get the promotion up to a national level... Look at who TNA just signed to be their commisioner or whatever they use him as - Jim Cornette. Probably the BEST interview and mic skills in the business and he knows the business better than most people..... I'm gone Darrell

Alright I finally started a wrestling thread.... Who likes wrestling? Favorite wrestler? Favortie fued? Favorite fed? Let's get this started I'm gone Darrell "Snack on danger, dine on death, and dead men don't make money" - The Road Warriors "If you don't like me , BITE me" - Rick Steiner

I don't think Hollywood "Get's It". I think they are just trying squeeze as much money out of the Dukes as possible at this point. Appease the people who disliked the big screen movie with a quick Direct to DVD prequel.. You know the saying " Strike while the iron is hot" kinda deal. I am not sold at all on a Prequel......And definately not sold on the idea of Direct To DVD. That almost certainly means "Low Budget". As far as the movie when it finally comes out , I think many might be disappointed with this one. If they go back in time when they are teenagers like they state where in the world will our beloved General Lee be? After all they didn't get it til their later years accroding to "Happy Birthday, General Lee" ... Again Bo, Luke and Daisy will teenagers. Typical teenagers have "fun" - girls,cars, drinking , being rowdy..We will see how that plays out... If anyone did not like the Big Screen movie , I could care less. So this Direct to DVD prequel will hopefully satisfy those movie critics......Remember the saying " Be careful what you wish for" I'm gone Darrell

Gotta love"King" Richard Petty. That is the way racin' should be.... http://msn.foxsports.com/nascar/story/5548346 Petty Q&A: 'Sissy' young drivers haven't paid dues / FOX Sports Radio Posted: 19 hours ago The King of NASCAR, Richard Petty, spent some time with Craig Shemon and James Washington on Tuesday. We asked about the war of words between a number of the drivers in today's NASCAR circuit (i.e Kevin Harvick, Kurt Busch, Tony Stewart and Matt Kenseth)... "There wasn't that much media coverage [early in my career]. You didn't have TV's stuck everywhere, reporters, and all this kind of stuff. I think there was less talk and more action at that time. If you didn't like what was going on with somebody else, then you just went up behind the truck and settled the thing and went on down the road." The King went on to add... "Got a lot of these young kids that's been racin' for however long, since they [were] five years old, they come in [and] they've always been, I don't wanna say pampered or anything, but they ain't worked their way through the school of hard-knocks like Bobby [Labonte] or a bunch of us did when we came up. So you got a different mentality. And then these guys come in and if somebody says something to them, they get all upset and all this kind of stuff. I think it's a little sissy more than anything else as far as I'm concerned. If you got trouble with a guy, walk up to him and tell him what your trouble is. If it ain't work, pop him upside the head, and let him pop you, and you go on down the road

Thank you for posting the articles... Nothing will beat the movie. I'm gone Darrell

This will definately make me feel like the "Intimidator" is back in action..

The key words that Jay said were "LOW BUDGET" ....... Plus you left out a VERY important part of that interview , talking about his new movie and the Dukes movie.. Is this any different from doing something like DUKES as opposed to the other Broken Lizard movies? Big Hollywood movie – do you come at this with a different take? I think the thing about Warner Bros for me, was for the first time I realized, they really do want to make great movies. They want the movies to be…respectable is probably the wrong term…It’s going to push boundaries and be a little bawdy, but they want it to be good. It’s not just “hey we gotta hit that number†which was our experience at another place. You can talk to these people and they’re really involved in trying to make it good, and I learned that on the DUKES. They were like, “oh, okay, it’s going to cost a little more. Okay, you can have it.†If it was justified, they would say “yeah, you can have it†so in this movie, we actually ended up staying on budget, but more importantly, the movie has been good everyday. I’ve never said “oh, that sucks but we can move on.†I’ve said, “that sucks. We have to fix it.†I'm gone Darrell

MaryAnne - A big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you .... Hope you enjoy your day. And have a cold one on me..... Darrell
