Yeah… I fucking love my weekends off. I basically spent the entire weekend with Sam and I can’t say I’ve had that much fun in quite awhile. Friday night we decided to go see The Dukes of Hazzard on opening night at the biggest goddamn theater I’ve ever seen in my life.
The movie itself was fairly funny, but not a “great movie”. It’s not quite a faithful representation of the original show, but it works. As long as you go in expecting it to be just a loose interpretation of the TV series, you won’t be disappointed. Was it worth $8? No, not really. The acting in it wasn’t terribly impressive. Jessica Simpson can’t act her way out of a wet paper bag, that’s for sure. Not like it matters, she’s fine as fuck and that’s all that’s important. She plays Daisey Duke, after all. Johnny Knoxville as Luke Duke? Well, he’s a fucking idiot but then again he’s playing an idiot redneck (not too far out of character for sure). Burt Reynolds plays Boss Hogg pretty well except that he’s too skinny to be Boss Hogg. I remember Boss was fatter than fuck in the TV show. Burt Reynolds is no fatass, that’s for sure. He does the scheming/conniving bastard role pretty well, though. Roscoe was an aging, greying pot-bellied dipshit in the movie. In the TV show he was quite a bit younger, a whole lot skinnier but no less bumbling. At least they got THAT part right. Overall, the movie was good for some laughs. They spoofed Super Troopers in one scene and those that have seen both movies will seriously bust a gut laughing about 2 seconds into the scene when they realize what’s about to happen. Amusingly enough, the guy that played Farva in Super Troopers actually plays a character named Sheev in Dukes of Hazzard. He actually plays the trashy, disgusting pot-bellied redneck loser quite well to be honest. He was easily one of the most amusing characters in the movie (interesting quirk: he almost never wears pants, just boxers). Needless to say, the overall plot wasn’t so hot… the acting wasn’t exactly top-notch.. the jokes were childish but still rather amusing. It wasn’t a movie that I was pissed off about having spent $9 to see, but not one I’m going to tell all my friends to rush out and see ASAP. Go see it to drool over Jessica Simpson and laugh at stupid jokes… don’t expect it to be a great movie and you won’t be disappointed.
As far as the rest of the weekend goes, that night this chick came over to Sam’s house, Sam and I got drunk (she stayed sober) and the night got rather interesting thereafter. Saturday, I woke up with no hangover and we went to Adam’s house and went out on the lake for a good portion of the day. Eventually we made it back to Sam’s house, had some more people over, Sam got trashed and more hilarity ensued. Apparently, he ended up calling a friend of his and singing country music songs into the phone, which she recorded. Oddly, I don’t remember this happening but she was nice enough to have recorded it and played it back for us on speakerphone. Definitely amusing. Today we got up, went to KFC to eat, came back… and yep, MORE people came over. We watched “A Clockwork Orange” and the people that came over drank a little (Sam and I had already had enough alcohol this weekend). I left for work at about 11:35 and of course the hot chick with the nice titties shows them off AFTER I leave. At least Sam was nice enough to get a pic. Oh, well… All in all it was a kickass weekend. Hopefully next weekend will kick ass as well.
