No Decisions to be made
This IS NOT smokey and the bandit the boardgame.
Do you love dice, and do you hate making decisions? The just maybe this game is for you... This is an activity with rules rather than a game in my eyes. Those kid are not having fun on the box cover, I don't care what you say. In 1976 they really could've done better. But this particular game didn't bother to try. I put this on par with Candyland, but Candyland is much prettier and designed for kids to learn colors and counting. This one has almost nothing to offer. Even if you can get it for 50 cents at a garage sale, throw the board away and keep the dice and money for another game as missing pieces. Or even better, come up with your own rules and redesign the game. that would be a more fun process than playing the game as is for sure. I'm sure it would be more fun to be a trucker for a few hours, even on the boring straightaways of nebraska. So if you can do that instead. Even Monopoly is better than this game.

Wow. Harsh. Never heard of it but now I feel like I’ve played it. I know games like this and I avoid them.

I wept.
I saw all of the Smokey and the Bandit movies when I was a kid, at the drive-in, no less. And Burt Reynold's was pretty hot stuff both in his looks and as box office gold back in the day. I didn't think much of him from the mid-to-late '80s until 1997 when he popped up in Boogie Nights. He was great in that role, but I didn't give him much thought after that until I saw this movie, even when he died. Now, I don't think I'll forget or dismiss him so easily. There is a great undercurrent of regret and sadness in this movie and of Reynold's wanting to relive simpler times, reminisce, and make amends to those hurt and forgotten along the way. There is a depth I was not expecting and I felt things I did not expect to feel. My boyfriend and I both cried gently at the beauty and pain of this film. I usually try to hide my tears in embarrassment when I am moved by a film but I didn't hide them here. The emotions were palpable and you'd have had to have been a marble statue not to be moved by this movie.

"""If I want to pick my favourite records then I have to pick something from Motown. When you have that kind of catalogue it can be hard pinpoint one act. In my case, it would have to be the Four Tops and therefore I have to pick a greatest hits album. I never had a problem considering the Four Tops as a band. As a little kid they were omnipresent if you were glued to the radio as I was. They were a constant fixture year-in, year-out. They would release incredible songs like 'It's The Same Old Song' or 'Reach Out I'll Be There'. On this album you get to line up all of these songs back-to-back as a complete body of work, or even like a single live performance. You can hear a darkness and, dare I say it, a rocking spirit that you won't get from The Supremes or from Smokey Robinson or even Stevie Wonder, mostly due to the presence of Levi Stubbs' voice. In addition, the music had to match his voice and his range of emotion that you wouldn't even get on a Marvin Gaye record. Not only were the songs powerful, but the arrangements and instrumentation and the performances meant that, as far as I am concerned, Four Tops rock like Led Zeppelin. What more do you need? It is a collection of incredible tunes. I bought this record when it came out and all my mates thought I was either really, really old-fashioned or a freak. I knew I wasn't old-fashioned but what was the alternative? The Boomtown fucking Rats?"""
