dukes of hazzard

Saw The Dukes of Hazzard on friday night. I really wanted this movie to be good. It just wasn't though. On the surface it had so much going for it: Johnny Knoxville, Willie Nelson, Burt Reynolds, bar fights, car chases, explosions, half-naked pop-stars... Sometimes putting a bunch of stuff you love in one place just doesn't work, though. For instance, I love my mom and I love beer. But my mom and beer don't go together well. I love fat kids and I love low-rise jeans. But low-rise jeans on fat kids? Not so good. I think Dukes of Hazzard was another case of things I love that don't fit well together. The corny dialogue was just clumsy coming out of Johnny Knoxville's mouth, it was pretty obvious the directors didn't know what to do with Willie Nelson, and Burt Reynolds is one of those guy's who's coolness apparently relys pretty heavily on context. The explosions and half-naked popstars were still nice, though, so it wasn't a total loss, I guess.



you've crushed me.

my week is ruined.

screw you, i'm still gonna go see it.

i bet if you and i went out, had a couple of beers, and then went and saw it, it would be a whole lot better.

yeah, i'm pretty sure.  


There's wisdom in what you say, but let's be honest - any movie could would be better if you and I went out and got a couple of beers before seeing it. If it makes you feel any better, F really liked it.  


man, i love that kid!  


He also loved that movie with Ashton Kutcher and Bernie Mac, so don't get too excited.
