Texas soap opera massacre
Have we learnt nothing from the movie versions of The Avengers and Thunderbirds? TV into film doesn't go. Even the loose-limbed virility of Owen Wilson couldn't raise Starsky & Hutch above a piece of ironic but ultimately shoddy nostalgia.
These shows may have been essential viewing in the 1970s but, like fondue and Avocaat, their moment has passed. So I can only assume that the producers of Dallas: The Movie have been living under a rock in Madagascar for the last twenty years. Sue Ellen and Lucy rolling around the lawn of Southfork in a heated catfight might have cut the mustard in 1983 but who wants to watch a tepid rehash when you've got Desperate Housewives? Even one with Brad Pitt and Catherine Zeta Jones in it?
I'm just wondering who gets to play psychotic midget sexpot Lucy.
