Moral Hazzard
Apparently Hollywood has managed to trash the family fun of Dukes of Hazzard by making a remake that actor and ex-congressman Ben Jones (“Cooter”) says to avoid:
“From all I have seen and heard, the “Dukes” movie is a sleazy insult to all of us who have cared about the “Dukes of Hazzard” for so long … ,” Jones wrote. “Unless they clean it up before the August 5th release date I would strongly recommend that true blue Dukes fans hold their noses and pass this one up.”
And Hollywood wonders why box office grosses are falling? Come on – the Dukes of Hazzard was a dumb TV show that Gen X kids watched religiously. Would it have been too hard to remake it into one that would allow us to bring our kids to see?
I guess so. Too bad for them. I’ll keep pumping my money into video games. Will the Kid end up seeing 4,000 movies like his dad? I doubt it. Hollywood doesn’t realize it but it is in serious trouble.
Think Vaudeville.
