dancerjodiI love that despite how hot it gets outside its oftentimes pretty cool in our house. Having ceiling fans in almost every room definitely help. We only have one AC and that's reserved for the room the bunnies are in. I finished the new Harry Potter so I'll be off to find a book in the house to read and lounge on the couch of doom with before showering, making dinner, and heading out to the Waltham show in NH.
We saw the new Dukes of Hazards last night (after BBQ at Fireflies) in the Framingham Premium Theater. Awesome! If you were a fan of the show go see this movie! The format was the same (frozen scenes with a narrator doing voiceovers), action was fun, and there were many sexy cars to look at. One interesting observation was there was less overdoing of silly characters (Boss Hog, Rosco) and more overdoing of the T&A (I don't remember Daisy being *that* blatant). I wonder if its a sign of our times and what's seen as funny or not, and what it takes to get people going. I do have to say though, I was disappointed that Boss Hog didn't throw his hat on the ground at the end. I think they did a good job including aspects of the old TV series while modernizing the show at bit. There is even some PC commenting about the General Lee and its roof painting (I don't recall them even acknowledging this in the old series, though I was too young to have gotten that reference back then anyway). Its not a "film" by any means, but it was funny and fun to watch - definitely the kind of light hearted entertainment we were looking for after a crazy week. As I started up the car to head home one nearby repeatedly played the General Lee horn noise over and over again - I think they had the soundtrack or something in there already cued up.
Now I want to find the classic stuff on DVD. "Just the good old boys, never meanin' no harm" . . .
