"The Next Stoner Movie" (2009)

[JoeyGowdy]

There's a new movie in-production "The Next Stoner Movie" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1270848) and guess who's hemi-orange clunker car is going to be outfitted with the "Stoner Mobile" wardrobe?    For those curious enough to be reading this, the 420 replaces the 01, Weed-Flag replaces the Dixie-Flag and the "Stoner Mobile" replaces the "General Lee" from what I am told it will be the hero car of the movie and the "Stoner Mobile" wardrobe will be high gloss magnetic stickers to coverup the "General Lee" scheme.

Fire it up man !

[Mopar2Ya]

Dude.............. 

[mikepmcs]

too bad you can't see the video unless you have IMDB Pro. 

If it's you, congratulations, although I would have hoped my car would be in a different genre of movie.  Yeah, that's right, I went there!

Who stars in the movie, beside the gowdymobile?

[JoeyGowdy]

Thanks, yeah it's mine, if all goes to plan it will be like "Dazed and Confused" meets "Half Baked" meets "Puff the Magic Dragon" 

[teamroth]

Joey, I checked out your stuff previously, are you involved in the making of this movie also?

[Mike DC]

 
I don't mind a goofy stoner movie but I wish the GL wasn't associated with it.  Go ahead and do a 70s-style street machine if they want, but don't too closely reference the GL in particular.


It just reinforces the "laughing at them, not with them" mentality that Hollywood takes with something like Dukes.  It really sums up why Warner Bros will never handle Dukes right again unless it's done by an outsider. 


 

[Ghoste]

IMO, a late 70's Camaro or Firebird is a better depiction of the classic stoner ride anyway.  That or a van.

[Mike DC]

Yeah.  An F-body from the Burt era, or a van.  Or even a C3 corvette. 

[500hp_440]

someone should be shot for this, not really but a nice whoopin is in order
they better not wreck one or ill go to hollywood and shove my charger so far up that writer's bum hell be flushin pistons till he's 6feet under
i pray this doesnt go to the movie set or they use 73 and 74 chargers thatd be fine

[RallyeMike]

or they use 73 and 74 chargers thatd be fine

I think they should use YOUR Charger

Those stoners riding around in primered up Firebird's would be better .

[terrible one]

Hahaha that's cool man! Burn one down!

[SeattleCharger]

heh                How about one of those big cordoba type two door charger/daytonas from the mid seventies, a gold one, jack it up in back with big meats, headers/side pipes, and a big peace sign on the door,     they go around and blow prius's off the line and leave em in a cloud of smoking tires smoke show while laughing their asses off in a new stoner way.

Why do you keep posting links we can't access? Maybe you should cancel your Robbie the Robot order and buy us all IMBD Pro so we can see what it is you're talking about?

[SeattleCharger]

how bout these?

[Mike DC]

Yeah, so it's goofy of me to care about the image of "Dukes" at all.  Sue me. 




I know modern sports car guys who think the same way about our entire Detroit musclecar hobby.  They think it's pathetic that people ever started restoring these cars at all.

[teamroth]

It's all completely subjective. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but that's it. Nobody stopped to think for a second that maybe they won't wreck the cars, and it could renew the hobby a bit. Maybe add some new owners to the ranks that could save a few more cars, and fight off Pelosi's stupid idea of cash for clunkers program.

I especially like our new 16 year old "badass" who decided he will drive his non-running 500hp charger up a writer's ass. Haven't learned anything yet have you youngster? You just keep letting your mouth write checks your ass can't cash...Brilliant

My car's not ready for anything these days..

I was the only one with a Camaro back in those daze and didn't grow a mullet until I bought my first Mopar.  But yes, Camaro>stoner

I usually avoid his threads for that very reason, but this one made it to 2 pages so I had to peek, (like a train wreck).

i like that people get so uptight about the charger destroying franchise dukes of hazard so much...please, they were running moonshine, womanizing and even had hookers in that first season.

what makes the dukes fun is that they weren't just "good ol' boys"...that show wasn't wholesome in the slightest.

and i see people complaining about movies like death proof or even the so-so fast and furious franchise for destroying chargers-and yes, it sucks but really, come on now-the dukes tv show has them all beat by 500 miles.

i just wish hollywood would crash more gm and fords, since there's so many of them.

    Hey elenmars,  I made it through the first five pics of your photography link and I had to compliment your album.  first two pics hot models, and the car pics after that, great angles and framing and lighting, 
really great car pics man

Yeah, but the DOH characters were idealized versions of what they portrayed.  Not the same thing as focusing on the rougher aspects of it all. 

This might not seem very important to an outsider but it can be HUGE to the core audience.



It's like the difference between the movie "Friday" and the video game "GTA San Andreas."  They both portray life in very much the same time & place, but with VERY different tones about the whole thing from start to finish.
