"Dukes" Aftermath
There is a scene about three-quarters of the way through The Dukes of Hazzard in which police are chasing Bo and Luke in the General Lee on a backwoods dirt road. The soundtrack belts out "Shoot to Thrill" by AC/DC and Luke, who has a compound bow for some reason, lights a flaming arrow and shoots it through the General's blasted-out back windshield, causing one of the pursuing cars to burst into flames. We credit this unexpectedly awesome sequence, and a scene in which Willie Nelson emerges from a barn full of suspicious smoke, for helping "Dukes" exceed our BlogPulse Opening Weekend Predictions by $2 million. The movie made about $30 million, and we predicted it would make between $25 million and $27 million. (The top ten movies for this weekend are here.) Box Office Guru had predicted $34 million for the Dukes' opening weekend, a difference we blame on Jessica Simpson's unexpectedly wretched performance and the way she's made up to look like some kind of bronzed marionette with Chiclets for teeth and a wig made from a thousand Barbie doll heads. "A department store mannequin would have been more charming," wrote Mike the conservative Christian. Cinematical -- and the rest of the blogosphere -- lamented that this is what passes for entertainment these days. And that it'll keep comin': "If stupid is what sells, you can bet Hollywood will keep giving moviegoers want they want, and then some."
A doff of the BlogPulse bowler to our alert reader who noticed Friday we'd misspelled "Hazzard." We'd have gotten an "F" for that back in J-school.
