That would be something if he was the balladeer. I guess we will find out soon enough. Thank you Inga for the info...... Darrell

JHM....I think you are in your own alternate reality. Why do you think all True Die-hard Hazzardites think this movie will be a bomb ? As far as CGI, you are very mistaken. Most of the stunts were done real with a little bit of CGI to enhance some things. You can tell the movie will suck because of a 2 minute trailer? You must be some kind of critic then. I want your job then. I might like the humor that was in the trailer , but it was only a 2 MINUTE preview, NOT a 90 minute movie. Also you mentioned to me in a previous post the title of this thread. . The tilte of the thread is "Sorry For Knocking The Movie To Shreds" - go back and read the thread form the beginning. You might learn something.... Posted: Wed Jun 15, 2005 5:10 pm Post subject: Capt redneck I’m glad you like what I have to say but the title of this thread is about the new duke movie I saw a couple a trailers and I didn’t like what I saw. But what I said is nothing different from that of what anyone else on this site has said about the movie. \ I am not here to change anyone's opinions about the movie. Everyone has their own right to think what they will. I just want people to keep an open mind about it. We all may be surprised either way. One more thing, JHM...........It is HAZZARD not Hazard...... Later Darrell

numb........Welcome to HazzardNet. Enjoy your time here, there are some people here.... Thanks for the info , much appreciated.... Darrell

JHM....I like your b****in' & Gripin' , you are entitled to do it, but when new people come on here and start trashing stuff imediately, it's gets my gander up. There is no need to for that... Get your facts straight about CMT, but I am guessing you live in Canada then because of the scheduling. Also do you have any idea what exactly is in the script and how the characters are actually going to be portrayed? A 2 minute trailer really gives you alot? Like I said , preconcieved ideas because of the actors is getting a lot of people in an uproar, and again maybe they will surprise you, then again maybe not.....Did you see the WalMart special DVD that came out a few weeks ago? It was more of a behind the scenes of the movie. Later Darrell

Wasn't it to be called the "Boar's Nest West" or something like that..... I liked that TV show - Alice - a lot when I was a kid...... Jerry Reed was a couple of episodes too .. Florence Jean Castleberry - Kiss My Grits & When Pigs Fly..... Darrell

On the flip side of the CMT thing...If people want to boycott the movie, and personally I don't think it is that many, if will bring nothing but publicity to CMT and the original Dukes' People would want to tune in and see what all the fuss is about. At least that is what I think. Granted the new movie is targeting a younger audience , but like it has been said before the Dukes appeals to everyone. As far as CMT canceling the Dukes - - From what has been mentioned in TV articles and in some magazines, CMT could not be happier with the Dukes. They have been a ratings hit for them in that time slot - 7:00pm. To anyone that wants to boycott the movie that is your business. Just please stop knocking everything to do with the new movie. Nobody has seen it yet and the peconcieved b****in' & Gripin' that alot of people have are getting tiresome reading in every thread.... Why can't all DOH fans show a little enthusiasm instead of trashing it? I know we all had our opinions about everything to do with the new movie. We just might be surprised how it turns out. ....We will find out August 5th how the movie is when it opens.... Darrell

Don't forget , John was in an episode of " Walker , Texas Ranger" as a firefighter got shot by some gang member.... There was also a TV movie in the early 80's called Dream House. If I remeber right it had to to with trying to build his dream house in the middle of NYC .....I liked that one, haven't seen it in , oh say 20 years.... Darrell

I remember going to see Eddie Macon's Run in the theatres when I was like 12 . I went becuse it was Bo Duke in a movie...... Darrell

Now that is my kind of sheep........... I might have a 'Baa- -aa-d" boy....... sorry about attemp at a joke , I am not as funny as ya'll , but I tried...... I'm Outta here Darrell

So far the episodes don't seem as cut and edited as thery shown on the old TNN years ago. I hope CMT doesn't get any ideas about adding more commercials, although I am hoping that the ratings have exceeded their expectations so far.

Scott - That cartoon was too damn funny....... Brian - I knew your sheep jokes would be good...... Dale & Traveler - Is ther esomething going that both of would care to share with this board? ....Just kidding..... I'm Outta Here Darrell

It took me a good 3 weeks to find that damn mag up here on Long Island. I went to a few different Borders, Barnes & Noble, Tower Records and any store that sold car magazines.. I finally found it in my local Barnes & Noble, go figure the one closest to me had it. I was there yesterday to get a book and they had a few more copies they must have put out. I am waitng for the new issue with the second part of the series.. By the way, the magazine was well worth searching around for , IMHO... Later Darrell

Oh Lord..........This thread has gotten good..... Brian - I love the way you diffuse the situations. Wish I had your way with words. Too good..... Dale - Yes, I do think Jessica blocks the view of OUR beloved General . Scott - Bring on the sheep jokes. Darrell

I actually like reading some of Bama's posts. He does have some good ones and that isn't mean't to be sarcastic....BUT I like I said , there is no need to cuss someone out like he did. Besides , if he is gone , where the heck would he go and who would keep from laughing or starting a good debate anymore...... Darrell

go f*** yourself Bamamediamafia - Please refrain yourself from using that kind of language towards someone. A little decorum on your part might go a long way. That was uncalled for.. I am just asking to play nice , that's all..... Darrell

To everyone who attended DukesFest and gave us your reports on it, I thank you very much for it. I am also very jealous because I didn't get to go... I am hoping next year I can attend. This year was a bit hard, my 10 year wedding anniversary(together since High School 17 years and 3 kids later)was that weekend and the Mrs. put her foot down and said no(this is where I have my tail tucked between my legs) ...We had a wonderful dinner and a great weekend. BUT I would rather have been at DukesFest with all my HazzardNet friends. Wait till next year.... I am glad everyone enjoyed it so much and for sharing your experiences and enjoyment... Darrell

Keith I couldn't have said it better than what you did.... From day 1 , I have looked forward to the movie. While not agreeing with the casting choices at first, I have said it will be the chemistry like the old series. If they have that chemistry, then it will be even better. As for the Burt Reynolds/Smokey & The Bandit, I am in heaven , since Smokey & The Bandit is one of my all time favorite movies. And the Burt Reynolds references in the original series makes the role of Boss Hogg even sweeter for me. Just picture this 20-25 years ago, Burt Reynolds in the Dukes Of Hazzard, it still is like a dream for me. I have posted this a few times before, the new movie will bring in whole new generation of DOH fans. People who weren'tlucky enough to enjoy the original series in it's prime or the reruns on TNN years ago. CMT has jumped on the bandwagon with it's support of the DOH with their showing the series again and their sponsorship of DukesFest. Personally if the movie wasn't coming out , I don't think CMT would be pushing the Dukes the way they are. To me , it is a win-win situation for all Dukes fans everywhere. We get the original series back in a great time slot 5 days a week , the DVD's of the seasons and the oopurtunity to see a new movie on the Dukes - 2005 looks to a great year for the Dukes Of Hazzard.... As for everyone knocking the movie, it has been mentioned that it should be it's own seperate sticky....IT SHOULD BE...It is getting old and I am getting tired of hearing all the b****in' and gripin' about the cast, the way the movie should be, it is not the Dukes, ETC...Enough of this crap. I just don't understand all the negative stuff from a lot of people on here lately. This is HazzardNet - the greatest and best board for the DOH anywhere. That is why I call this board my home. I am a TRUE BLUE DOH FAN till the day I die.Ya'll just got to cool down and see the movie . If you are DOH , you will be there for opening night Aug 5th. I know I will be and hopefully first in line to show my support... Darrell

Great looking truck....... Funny I was thinking along those lines about getting a Ram and doing it up like that. except I want the Rebel Flag painted on the tailgate.... Darrell

I expect it to be #1 for the week then. Let's all of us Dukes fans go out and make it #1 ...........

I understand that movie soundtracks usually come out a week or two BEFORE the movie opens. But this is around 8 weeks till the opening and all the rights to the songs , if they are liscensing any, and new recordings should be done by now in order to get the CD's printed and ready in time hopefully .

There isn't any info on what songs are actually going to be on the soundtrack. Other than the Willie Nelson/Jessica Simpson duet and most likely Willie's version of Good Ol' Boys I have no idea on what to expect. I can't find any info anywhere...

If ya get to Wal-Mart and get the first episode DVD that has the stuff about the new film , MC Gainey is in it with a short interview.... Darrell

Scott..... I know what ya mean about flying it down there. One of my cousins is a corrections officer and one of his friends actually got suspended for having the flag in the back window of his pick-up. It seems another CO had complained about it and he was told to take it down , which he did not due in time. It is funny that my tattoo has had positive from the african americans that seen it. It never seemed to be a bother , they loved how colorful the whole tattooo is. But I am sure there is someone somewhere who will eventually get offended by it. BUT it is only visible when I wear a tank top or sleeveless shirt, a short sleeve covers it up because it is on my upper arm.... Darrell

Dover this weekend...... JJ got lucky last week at Charlotte... Time for #20 - Tony Stewart to start making his way to victory lane this year..... Darrell

Addam's Family and Addam's Family Values were great movies that captured the spirit of the TV shows. Charlies Angels on the other hand I though STUNK big time. Thunderbirds was OK for a movie, but to think that came out of marionettes on the tV series just made me go HMMMM??? We will see August 5th about the Dukes. My opinion from day 1 has never changed. As a DOH fan, I am excited as all hell to see the movie. Might not have agreed on the casting at first, but it has to do with the chemistry of them together. I still can't see why any DOH fan won't give this movie a chance. Like I have said over and over, nothing will ever compare to the cast and chemistry of the original. BUT this is a new version 25 years later and hopefully a good one....... Darrell
