The Adnostic

Growing up, I loved watching the Dukes of Hazard. Those cute boys, in those tight jeans, always one step ahead of the tyrannical government figures, but always out to do the right thing. What's not to love?
Daisy was my first televised, fictional role model. She was smart and sexy. No man could turn her down, and lucky for them, she had a heart of gold. I still dress like her sometimes. Only, I prefer a good pair of denim capris to a pair of shorts that fail to cover my generous behind.

Recently, I was elated to learn that Warner Bros was coming out with a Dukes of Hazard feature length film. With all the remakes being done these days, it's about time they got around to this one. But, will it be worthy of its predecessor and namesake? Let us turn to the best snap judgment aid of any unreleased movie . . . . the casting:

Sean William Scott - Bo (Hmmm, interesting. I think he's self-effacing enough to make it work.)
Johnny Knoxville - Luke (He's willing to make an ass of himself for a joke.)

So far I am not overjoyed with the choices that have been made, but I'm not expecting Citizen Kane here.

Burt Reynolds - Boss Hogg (Unexpected and will never pull off the disgusting factor that went along with the original character)
Willie Nelson - Uncle Jesse (BRILLIANT)
Jessica Simpson - Daisy (Wrong, wrong, wrong)

You have no idea how angry I am with this. Daisy had beauty and brains; Jessica has the brainpower of a gnat and the self-reliance of Bit Bit. Somewhere, somehow, a casting agent must pay for Jar Jar Binxing my beloved franchise! It may not be today. It may not be tomorrow, but I will have my revenge!
