Oh yeah ...Got this from another Dukes site Dave's Dukes site ( Dukes online ) . The Dukes Voting Booth Vote Totals Are you going to purchase the new Dukes Movie on DVD? I Own It 13 I Will Buy It 15 I Won't Buy It 3 Previous Vote Totals What did you think of the new Dukes Movie? Vote Totals: I Loved It 3465 I Hated It 900 It Was Ok 754

GADuke01 I don't get"bent out of shape" as you put it. I have never used any sort of foul language on here or any other board. Find ONE post where I insulted anyone. You won't becasue I don't do that . I don't post on all the Dukes boards I belong to, most of the ones you are on too I see ( Jon Holland's , CGLFC, T-Bell's ) and I don't post the same stuff on each board either. How many stupid threads and posts have been negative about the movie? TOO MANY ....When someone posts about how good the movie or they liked it , they are the ones who get "bombed" about it was nothing like the TV show and so on.. What am I supposed to do sit back and take it? Sound familiar...... And as far as the Mad Magazine avatar, it is over 30 years old and is one of the most collectable Mad Mags around. And it wasn't to get my point across. Same as my "2 words" comment (which is different than the Mad cover and a S&TB reference). What about my comment "Thank God the movie wasn't like the series" ....So what. The show is what it is and will always be. Who actually knows what could have been if it stayed the way it was in the GA episodes. What might have been...We will never know , but we are left with a good show .. Like I said, I think WB might have overestimated the fanbase of the DOH. Next time I am down in Atlanta to visit family, I might take a ride to Covington. Care to buy me a beer ? Better yet I will buy the first round... Later Darrell

Whoa boy ..slow down a bit... First of all I have NEVER said anything about disliking the show after the first five espisodes. Don't confuse my review of the movie to make it that I dislike the rest of the show which is simply not true. Can't figure out at all where you got that from. If you read any of my posts from other threads I have stated "Nothing will ever beat the original" and have NEVER put down any of the show nor will I ever do that to the show. I have NEVER bashed anyone for their opinion (good or bad) on the movie. I HAVE , however , have gotten tired of the continuous expressing of the same old stuff about not likeng the movie and the boycotts and petitions and so on. That is why I have continued to suppoort the movie the way I do. Have I once called anyone any obscenities ? NO I HAVEN"T . The 2 words for ya'll was MY ode to Smokey & Th Bandit and I bet most of you didn't get that at all. Shoot , it is one of favorite movies for a lot of us on here. Yes I am sarcastic about it and won't stop that. That much I will give you. It seems that if you LIKE the movie you get an earful for NOT being the original show. Here is something for ya'll to ponder. Maybe the DOH didn't have the kind of following that WB thought they had. It might have been riding as high as it could go with the DVD releases and on CMT and so on, but that might not have helped if the total audience wasn't there.... Darrell

Manchester City is not bad this year. I have been an Arsenal fan since high school in the mid 80's when I first saw a EPL game on my local sports channel ( it also helped that one of my favorite Punk rocker John Lydon is also a huge Arsenal supporter) . I also like Blackburn because they have Brad Friedel as their goalie ( have to support the American ) Biggest surprise this has to be Wigham. Again welcome to HazzardNet Darrell

Welcome to HazzardNet..... This is a geat Dukes place, probably the best on the net. Hope you enjoy yourself around these parts. There are a few other members from over the big pond . I am not sure if they have been on lately. By the way, do you support a footbal club over there? just curious to who you root for.... Darrell

Buttered ? Salted?... Later, brother

I guess I am not a "true" Dukes fan according to GADuke01 and probably a few others on here because I am PRO movie.......Boohoo, my feelings are hurt. I AIN"T leaving this site no time soon. I will continue to do what I have been doing as ya'll have in putting down the movie . Like I said in previous posts and threads, I respect the opinions and don't question them at all. That is your right. I , however, disagree with the points that have come out of some of them especially the boycott and protests and such. It seems that a "true" Dukes fan can't like the new movie according to some. Tell me where I have ever posted that the first 5 GA episodes had any of the bad stuff. I HAVEN"T. Now Smokey & The Bandit has and that is where the comparison was if you read it. the movie was cross between Moonrunners - S&TB- first 5 GA shows.. IF you have watched Smokey & The Bandit there is a scene towards the end where Sheriff Justice is pulled over and is berated by a trooper and then Ol' Buford starts to beliitle him back and after the apologies he says he has 2 words for him(an air horn sounds but you can read his lips). What is wrong with my avatar? Just because you don't like the movie doesn't mean you have to beliittle it. Later, my son.....

Do as I say, not as I do, right? Yessiree BOB..........

So essentially you are saying I have no more "Moral Character" for liking and supporting the movie?. I know what the TV show was built upon. But thank you for the history lesson. It is much appreciated..... I'm gone Darrell

That I like......Although Cheech is a little too old now, Tommy Chong still looks OK though. I will get back to you on who should be cast.. Be careful with what you wish for. It just might be out in 06 or 07..... Ironically , I had a a mag (Car Craft , Hot Rod, not really sure) that had a T/A with the bird as a Confederate Flag. It looked good on a white car... I'm gone Darrell

GADuke01 First of all who says Dale's comments are right on the money . a selct few on here?......He might be "right on the money " for you, but not to me. Why don't you answer the question you posed for me...Am I a "True" fan? .. I would love to hear your answer.... I'm gone Darrell

I am guessing that nobody has figured out the 2 words yet about what I think of all this. Maybe I will post a picture soon to help ya'll out... I'm gone Darrell

Great statement. Don't compare it to the TV show. That is all there is to it. Thank the Lord that the movie was different than the show anyway.... I'm gone Darrell

Why? "Moonrunners" is and will always be a part of Dukes history, no matter what. It wasn't as loosely based as you think it was. "True" Dukes fans should know or have seen "Moonrunners" anyway. The movie made sense to me to bring an update to it. And it did in way I had wished the TV series had been. You see if the Dukes didn't go to the family style show we all know after they went to "Hollyweird" after the GA episodes, it might have been a totally different series. That is what I wanted the movie to be and it was. I'm gone Darrell

That is my point. People expecting the movie to be like the TV and it wasn't....Thank God...... I say screw the heart and soul. The movie was everything the TV show wasn't. A lot of people liked that idea. They wanted a fresh take. I am damn glad the movie went in the direction it did. I wish the TV series did that too, but it didn't. In my opinion , the movie was everything I wished the TV show could have been. Why call it something different? It is called the Dukes Of Hazzard. It had the GL and all the characters As far as the Pontiac GTO..You are kidding right? Pontiac slapped the GTO nameplate on an Australian car that was in production fro a few years and imported it to the US. It flopped because it wasn't done from scratch. That is why Ford totally redid the Mustang from the ground up and look at it now, it is a HUGE hit. Maybe GM should have taken a cue from Ford on that. Although it didn't work so good for the T-bird , but they tried. I'm gone Darrell

Who said it had to be close to what was on the TV series? .....It was somebody's interpretation of the Dukes. The movie , as I have said since I saw it, is a mix of Moonrunners - Smokey & The Bandit - first 5 GA episodes of the Dukes. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey "GADuke01", I see on few other Dukes boards that someone you know referred to it as Moonrunners 2005. That is what I have said since it came out. Too bad you never seen it , then maybe you would get an idea of it then. And as far as your posts on the other boards if the movie GL's are "legit" , you are joking right? I'm gone Darrell

I guess you weren't "smart" enough to figure the 2 words ....... I DON"T understand why it is so hard to accept that some people LIKED this movie as it was. Personally it WAS "The Dukes Of Hazzard".. Oh well can't please everyone.... I'm gone Darrell

And want to continue to groan about this or that, I have 2 words for all ya'll .......I think you can actually figure them out if ya'll are smart enough.... I understand about free speech and such and opinions. But I could care less anymore... I am tired of people ripping apart the movie because it wasn't the Dukes they grew up with or they are used to, blah, blah blah... Oh well. Boo hoo....I am tired of people ripping apart a movie people worked hard on to show. Boycotts, protests, all that BS is BS........ Worse is that on another board there is a topic that the movie General Lee's are NOT legit General Lee's because they are different from the TV show. Even though the TV show GL's were different a whole lot of the time.....Give me a break with that... Nobody told you to go see it. Many of you didn't and that was your choice. Many of you went. Some disappointed , some angry, some liked it. What is done is done and that is all there is to it. There are some of us on here who actually liked the movie and liked the change of pace (although not condoning some of the stuff in the movie).. It was pure enjoyable entertainment for those of us that liked it. There are a ton of TV shows that were turned into movies. Some worked, some didin't. Some were very forgettable ( MOD Squad, Car 54) some were better than the original show ( Addams Family) . Some had nothing to do with the TV series at all but in name only ( Mission Impossible ).For all the movie goers and purists of the original series , I am sure each movie had their pros and cons from there fans. But there are some of those fans that enjoyed the big screen versions of their favorite sereis. Does that make those "Die Hard" or "True Blue" fans of those shows any less of a fan for liking them? ......HELL NO..... I'm gone Darrell

Still can't figure out why the Widescreen PG-13 theatrical version wasn't put out on DVD... This is what is available 1. UNRATED - Widescreen version - DVD 2. UNRATED - Full screen version - DVD 3. PG-13 - Full screen version - DVD 4. PG-13 - Widescreen version - PSP These are the only versions available for sale or rental... I'm gone Darrell

Now TimDuke who do expect to hear all that from? I'm gone Darrell

WB has decided to do another remake, this time CHiPs.....I have loved this show since it was on and hope the movie isn't at like like "Starskey & Hutch". http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/Movies/12/08/television.valderrama.reut/index.html Valderrama signs for 'CHiPs' remake Friday, December 9, 2005; Posted: 6:03 p.m. EST (23:03 GMT) LOS ANGELES, California (Hollywood Reporter) -- Wilmer Valderrama, who plays Fez on "That '70s Show," will star as motorcycle cop Ponch in a big-screen version of "CHiPs." Warner Bros. Pictures, which recently brought TV staples "Starsky & Hutch" and "The Dukes of Hazzard" to theaters with much success, has just acquired the rights for the series. Erik Estrada famously originated the Ponch role in "CHiPs," which ran on NBC in the late 1970s and followed the adventures of California Highway Patrol motorcycle officers Francis "Ponch" Poncherello and Jon Baker. Larry Wilcox played Baker. The show had a serious macho tone, but over the years has achieved a cheesy, cult status. Sources say the project was built around the involvement of Valderrama, who is working on the final season of "That '70s Show" and appears in "The Darwin Awards," an indie that will screen at Sundance in January. The action comedy has no producer and no director attached. The script will be written Paul Kaplan and Mark Torgove, who are writer-executive producers on "George Lopez." Copyright 2005 Reuters.
