Message: <blockquote data-quote="pete lashmar" data-source="post: 374746" data-attributes="member: 606"><p>The reason the movie idea didn't work was because when it started big names were mentioned to play the roles, yet what we got was bit part actors who were beige and boring. It also broke the 4th wall by showing the actual sets with supports, lighting etc - instead of taking viewers back it showed that none of it was real...wooden sets and cheap paint.  Had they changed the sets and got well known actors in for cameo roles it could have worked better - more so if they hadn't filmed it line for line from the original scenes. But the pay off itself was also poor - had JR got a message  from an unknown person to be in the cinema at a certain time with some sort of threat it would have worked better....as he enters the film begins, but Sue Ellen is not there. Then as a final scene we see Sue Ellen boarding a plane and flying out of Dallas, with a big grin on her face - happy and content. Then in the following season JR gets a letter from her explaining what she told him at the end of the episode.</p></blockquote><p></p>
