MIAMI VICE! YEAH!

― walter kranz (walterkranz), Wednesday, 21 December 2005 06:32 (twenty years ago)

yeah, it was shot in digital, according to imdb.

It looked almost cheap for a $120mln film.

sometimes (as in parts of "collateral") mann goes for artifacts and other "cheap" elements as part of the visual design. one problem w/digital is a sort of correlative to its ability to get a lot of detail in darkness: controlling the points of light in the mise en scene becomes potentially difficult, as any stray bulb can take a sudden prominence.

Who's going to be Edward James Olmos?

Wtf, I hadn't even heard about this. What's so special about Miami Vice that they want to film it? I hope the film will at least take place in the eighties and Colin Farrell will have a mullet.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 21 December 2005 07:32 (twenty years ago)

And they'd best keep at least some of Jan Hammer's original score. "Crockett's Theme" was brilliant.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 21 December 2005 07:33 (twenty years ago)

i hope chuck negron plays frank zappa

one month passes...

in anticipation of the miami vice movie, a new cable station called sleuth is rerunning the series. i caught this episode last night:

Season Two gets underway with a two hour episode titled â€œThe Prodigal Son.â€? The two part episode is nothing short of excellent and sets the season off on the highest level. Crockett and Tubbs travel to New York on the hunt of a Columbia drug ring that is killing off federal agents. Crockett walking the streets of New York at night as the Glenn Frey song â€œYou Belong to the Cityâ€? plays is hands down one of the best sequences in the history of the series. Another great moment involves Tubbs rushing to the airport as the Phil Collins song â€œTake Me Homeâ€? plays in the background.

also: steamy sexoring w/ tubbs & pam grier (to the sounds of the aforementioned phil collins song! best montage ever.)

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Friday, 27 January 2006 17:01 (twenty years ago)

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Friday, 27 January 2006 17:03 (twenty years ago)

i am so into miami vice again (maybe cos i play a lot to vice city these days).
but having seen the trailer to the movie, i don't really feel it. colin farrell doesn't fit at all to me.
i want to buy the 1st season dvd : anyone got it ? is it worth it ?

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Friday, 27 January 2006 17:13 (twenty years ago)

god, colin farrell is the WORST

― mark p (Mark P), Friday, 27 January 2006 17:14 (twenty years ago)

also, the trailer's full of modern day music, wtf?

― mark p (Mark P), Friday, 27 January 2006 17:15 (twenty years ago)

if michael mann's involved, it's gonna be good. i'm only holding out hope for that reason. i did enjoy the trailer!

― stockholm cindy (winter version) (Jody Beth Rosen), Friday, 27 January 2006 17:17 (twenty years ago)

this is otm:

You can't have the same guy playing Ray Charles play Tubbs, man. Foxx ain't as lionesque.

― stockholm cindy (winter version) (Jody Beth Rosen), Friday, 27 January 2006 17:19 (twenty years ago)

― stockholm cindy (winter version) (Jody Beth Rosen), Friday, 27 January 2006 18:40 (twenty years ago)

i don't think he can

― s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 27 January 2006 19:11 (twenty years ago)

i couldn't be anticipating this one more if i tried.

― Seriously, Try Punching This Guy in the Face and See What Happens (Enrique), Saturday, 10 June 2006 13:10 (twenty years ago)

two weeks pass...

The trailer with that awful Linkin Park/Jay-Z song is awesomely cheesy. "Takin it to the limit, one more time"!

So psyched.

― milo z (mlp), Sunday, 25 June 2006 22:38 (nineteen years ago)

this is going to be soooooooooooooooo bad

― pleased to mitya (mitya), Sunday, 25 June 2006 23:36 (nineteen years ago)

badass!

― gear (gear), Monday, 26 June 2006 00:11 (nineteen years ago)

Farrell is so wrong. He looks like a rat. Sonny must be BLONDE!!!!! And dissipated. Hmmm. Why oh why did Don Johnson and Melanie Griffiths not HAVE A BABY??????????

― Beth Parker (Beth Parker), Monday, 26 June 2006 00:34 (nineteen years ago)

― Roughage Crew (Enrique), Monday, 26 June 2006 07:57 (nineteen years ago)

There's undercover, and then there's 'which way is up.'

― INSANE CLOWN FOSSE (Adrian Langston), Tuesday, 4 July 2006 19:25 (nineteen years ago)

I can't believe how long this anticipation has been going on. Is the movie out yet? I'm out of touch.

― Beth Parker (Beth Parker), Tuesday, 4 July 2006 20:48 (nineteen years ago)

Going undercover as offshore boat racers and outlaw smugglers Sonny Burnett and Rico Cooper, they take on the narcotrafficking network of the mysterious Archangel de Jesus Montoya-Londono and his Cuban Chinese banker Isabella.

can't wait.

also, the trailer's full of modern day music, wtf?

-- mark p

this is so wronnng... the absolute of this movie has to be that its played 100% dead straight, and no mercy to ironic nostalgia! anyway how can u not get a boner to speedboats at sunset with "i've becoooome so NUUUUUUUMB" skyscrapering over the top, cmon

things get emotional, moves get messy. moves get messy and the wrong people die.

― Roughage Crew (Enrique), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 11:06 (nineteen years ago)

sorry that was meant for the watercooler thread.

― Roughage Crew (Enrique), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 11:06 (nineteen years ago)

the music is gon' be rza, though, right?

should have been tiga, maybe.

― Roughage Crew (Enrique), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 11:24 (nineteen years ago)

Who is the 21st-century Jan Hammer? Neither of those two I'd say.

― Tracey Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 11:46 (nineteen years ago)

Luomo.

yeah but tiga did that awesome 'i've seen too many of the wrong men die' thing innit. that should be the credits.

I would love for this not to suck, but with Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx...well, the odds aren't good.

― GILLY'S BAGG'EAR VANCE OF COUPARI (Ex Leon), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 12:26 (nineteen years ago)

dj and pmt weren't the greatest actors...

― Roughage Crew (Enrique), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 12:41 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, but they didn't have the baggage that these two have. I don't know if Colin F. is believable as anything other than an alcoholic leprechaun anymore.

― GILLY'S BAGG'EAR VANCE OF COUPARI (Ex Leon), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 12:45 (nineteen years ago)

that clip tracer actually feels like a michael mann movie!

i am ridiculously excited for this.

― Jams Murphy (ystrickler), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 13:47 (nineteen years ago)

A Michael Mann moment

― Tracey Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 13:55 (nineteen years ago)

dj and pmt weren't the greatest actors...

philip michael thomas was a TERRIBLE actor! don johnson was underrated, i think.

― Cool Im An Situation (Neanderthal), Saturday, 6 November 2021 03:07 (four years ago)

it is the best movie ever made

― STOCK FIST-PUMPER BRAD (BradNelson), Saturday, 6 November 2021 14:47 (four years ago)

Not related to the movie but not unrelated, the other day I heard this really shitty butt rock song by a band called Honeymoon Suite:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKE59-VfrBM

Sort of like the Cars "Moving in Stereo" if it was totally and unconvincingly macho. I'd never heard of them before, but I guess they're Canadian, and had a knack for getting their bad songs into movies and stuff, like "One Crazy Summer." Then on wikipedia I came across this:

In 1989, "Bad Attitude" was featured in the series finale of Miami Vice, played during a Ferrari driving segment that mirrored one from the series' pilot episode, continuing throughout Crockett and Tubbs' final battle.

So I thought, ooh, it's going to be a lost moody midtempo AOR song! But no.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOCI37y2umw

And that, my friends, is the difference between 1984 and 1989, and the first season of Miami Vice and the last.

Not the band, though! Canadian Vice!

Which Canadian city is the most Miami?
This question has no answer

― calstars, Saturday, 6 November 2021 16:52 (four years ago)

Halifax Vice?

― calstars, Saturday, 6 November 2021 16:53 (four years ago)

I forget where I read it, but Mann’s original plan for ‘06 Miami Vice was to use the original Phil Collins “In The Air Tonight” (which could have been amazing) but then swapped in the nu-metal Nonpoint version instead (which does the job and fits the vibe).

― ... (Eazy), Saturday, 6 November 2021 16:54 (four years ago)

what a weird project. i enjoyed the hell out of it tho

Absolutely not.

― This Is Not An ILX Username (LaMonte), Saturday, 6 November 2021 17:00 (four years ago)

i haven't seen a lot of Canada, but Vancouver? cocaine, waterways, central business district has noticeable aesthetic

― caddy lac brougham? (will), Saturday, 6 November 2021 17:07 (four years ago)

"Vancouver Vice" is basically "The X-Files."

― Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 6 November 2021 17:42 (four years ago)

Sick. I never really considered it before, but this movie in relation to Michael Mann occupies the same space in my head as Twin Peaks: The Return does to David Lynch.

― circa1916, Saturday, 6 November 2021 20:37 (four years ago)

one year passes...

Amazed that Sonny Crockett can go undercover with this accent:

This speech. Colin Farrell telling Brendan Gleeson he loves him. The emotion. The charisma… Toxic masculinity found dead in a ditch!!!! #GoldenGlobes pic.twitter.com/xWGngZ9UId
