I'm going to see it.  I love that guy....Sean William Scott or something -- Stifler from American Pie.  Everything I've ever seen him in has been great (I haven't seen Dude, Where's My Car and probably others) but Road Trip and Bullet Proof Monk are both great, largely because of him.  I hope Dukes is good, though my hopes aren't particularly high.

Maybe its just me, but no matter how hot she might be, having the IQ of pencil lead, turns me off.

She isn't as dumb as you think.  Sure, she's not an intellectual, but that dumb blonde for MTV stuff was an act.  That show was as staged as any sitcom has ever been.

I'm not much of a fan of her, don't think she's hot enough to get all the attention she's getting, but hey, it's good to see another Canadian at the top.

I never watched enough of that show to realize it was staged. 10 minutes of her looking for her $100,000+ Mercedes in a parkinglot was enough for me. Someone tried helping her look for it and she couldn't remember what COLOR it was!

After that, I couldnt stand to watch anything with her in it.

That's why I didn't watch it.

Hey, if the goal of the producers and directors was to trick people into thinking she really is that retarded, they succeeded. Just about everyone I've ever come in contact with agrees.

Which shows you how stupid Blue Book values are... how many 69 chargers can there really be out there that they are moving that many at that much higher a price than before?  That seems like manufactured data to me.

I wanted her to be hotter in the video...like...all car washing would have been nice.  Also...she'd make a good waitress.  did you see how she kept that beer bottle on the tray!?!

wow.

amazing on so many levels.  :)

Went and saw the movie the other day.  I thought it was hilarious, probably wont live up to expectations of anyone that watched the show though.  I never watched it so I could care less.  The producers and writers just exploited the names and likeness of the people in the series to make a funny movie.  It has cameo's from the broken lizard group, the guys that made super troopers.  I just had to not listen when Jessica talked and it helped, horrible actress.


P.S. I hate her song and her video.  Makes me wanna puke.


I'm not much of a fan of her, don't think she's hot enough to get all the attention she's getting, but hey, it's good to see another Canadian at the top.

sorry man she's from Tejas.

Went and saw it last nite.  One of the funniest movies ive seen in a long time.  If you were a fan of the show, the first few minutes your like WTF this isnt Dukes, but once you get over that, the movie is pretty good.

Looks to me like she hired Britney Spears' coaches.

I guess it's easy to say that because she is so hot and she flaunts it, but she's been dating/married to the same guy for the last like 4 or 5 years.

And yes, Jessica Simpson grew up in Richardson, TX. It's about 10 oe 15 minutes down the road from me. There are plenty more hotties there, but I'm too shy to talk to any of them... Plus I hear they're all stuck up.

No, it's in her eyes.  I recognize that look.  I used to seek out and exploit that look.

Anyway, why is it that I keep seeing bylines about them being separated and stuff then?  Probably just more marketing.

Post by: shmokes on August 11, 2005, 11:09:14 am
I think Chad's right about Catherine winning.  But not because Jessica is sleazy.  Catherine is just prettier.  Jessica has the unfair advantage of style because fashion has changed so much since Catherine's heyday.  Hair and clothes make a huge difference.  Hell, just compare Cameron Diaz in The Mask or Charlie's Angels with Cameron Diaz in Being John Malkovich.  Or check out Charlize Theron in Monster (though she put on some weight for that, I think).

Jessica might possibly, and this is only a might, win out on a body competition alone.  She has an amazing body.  But her face leaves a lot to be desired.  She looks like Violet Beauregard's Mom with the crazy eyes and giant teeth from the new Charlie and the Chocolate factory movie.  Look.  This is taken right from the page above with the competition.

I dunno if I'd necessarily agree with ya on that one. As a early teen when Dukes was big on TV, I remember Catherine in her prime and I'm pretty sure she wasn't the stuff that teens were spankin too....

Supposedly there was some sort of religious backlash because of the amount of skin shown in the video. Well, I guess they didn't take notice of the hate paraphernalia on the roof of the car?
Title: Re: New Dukes Movie Starts Tomarrow
Post by: ChadTower on August 11, 2005, 11:57:17 am

When a woman becomes thin enough that I can see her skeleton, I start to find her far less attractive.  Jessica Simpson falls into that category.

Of course, I'm not trying to be some net dork yelling "I wouldn't touch her, look at her knees".  I'd do her until her mother called the cops, then they'd have to pepper spray me to get me to stop.
Title: Re: New Dukes Movie Starts Tomarrow
Post by: pointdablame on August 11, 2005, 12:18:28 pm
FWIW, they made Jessica Simpson lose over 30lbs for Dukes, so that see her skeleton bit while she was in the bikini isn't her "real" body.

I would have preferred it if they let her keep the weight on so as to not look malnourished... but whatever.


BTW, I think the movie was FUN.. simple as that.  I never watched the show, so I'm sure that has something to do with it, but it was a blast to watch.

That's consistent.  Religion is all about hate.  It's pleasure they frown on.  That's why they all want to spend eternity walking around in white robes singing crappy music nonstop and smiling uncomfortably at each other as they walk by.  Anyway, they've got the mark of Cain.  It's okay to hate them if god hates them.  I like to tell my Mexican sister-in-law that one day, if she's righteous enough, she can become white like me.

Your opinion certainly differs from mine. Okay, she has a somewhat goofy look on her face in the pic that you posted, but that's just one pic. I mean this face is about as flawless as they come. I see a girl this beautiful in real life, I'm getting a good hard punch from Mrs. Stingray, because there's no way I could keep myself from gawking.

The religious backlash came because she's a preacher's daughter.

A rebel flag doesn't have to necessarily be a symbol of racism. Contrary to popular belief, it can simply be a symbol of southern pride. I'm not one bit racist. I'm white, but I've never had a white girlfriend in my life. I find no problem with the rebel flag, though.

There are too many dots to connect. Let's see... The south had slaves and the north didn't. The south had the rebel flag. So therefore the rebel flag is a symbol of slavery? That's a fallacy.

The music video and the movie/car aren't the same thing.  But the "hate" on the roof of the car is just a symbol.  To some it means hate, to others it means southern pride, and to me it means rebellion. 

If you are looking for a symbol for the slave trade, I would start with the French flag.

why does every Duke thread someone has to mention how "The flag on top of the car reprisents hate" when I was a kid and watched the show hate never entered my mind and now............ it still doesn't

big deal it's a confederate flag.... the flag of the southern army which wanted to break away from the union but lost........

it was not a flag slave owners flew to signify that they were slave owners.........

quite ruining perfectly good threads with you interpretations of what you think the flag is for........

just avoid the thread..

When I saw the movie my first thought was "Oh, the General Lee is a piece of crap, that actually makes sense". Then Cooter gave it a $50,000 99 point restoration in 3 days.

The two scenes of HEAVILY IMPLIED drug use added nothing to the movie, I would have preferred them cut.

A lot of auto prices are manufactured data. Especially prices on anything more than 10 years old. But there are TONS of 69 Chargers out there (almost none of them actually being driven), and quite a few of them are General Lee replicas.

I completely agree. those scenes should have never been put on the screen.

The sad thing is I was about my boy's age when the Dukes was on T.V. so I took him with me to the movie with me. Had I known it would have been that bad I wouldn't have taken him to see all the filth they threw in there......
