Come on, boots
Jessica Simpson's treatment of the Nancy Sinatra, uh, classic, "These Boots Are Made For Walkin'" perturbs me a little bit. The fact that Cooter is mad as hell aside, it's a pretty wacky song and music video. First it reimagines the song as a techno sort of thing, and then there is the video. Ah, the video.
From what Cooter was saying, it may as well have been pornography! And let's face it, it was kinda stupid until she rolls in at the end in a bikini and starts washing the General Lee. (Without wearing any boots, mind you.) To me, the most egregious part was how they would randomly cut to Willie Nelson pickin' a gee-tar, and then back to Jessica. And then you'd never see Willie again. It was weird.
But enough whining. From what I hear, the Dukes of Hazzard flick didn't need a boycott for it to suck. I haven't seen it so I can't pass judgement, but that sucker is being called the worst movie of the year. Also, all reports are, Jessica can't act.
Anyone see this? If so, how was it? I'm curious.

Can I bash Jessica Simpson? She may be able to sing, but it's just odd how she went from ladylike and demure to kinda-not-so-ladylike...
