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 “The Prodigal Son.� 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 “You Belong to the City� 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 “Take Me Home� plays in the background.

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

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 ?

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)

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

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 (twenty years ago)

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

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

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

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

milo z (mlp), Tuesday, 4 July 2006 19:21 (nineteen years ago)

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

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.

Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 11:49 (nineteen years ago)

Who is the 21st-century Jan Hammer?

Tracey Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 11:51 (nineteen years ago)

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

Roughage Crew (Enrique), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 11:53 (nineteen years ago)

For all you Ariel Dombasle fans out there: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCI3Pos6VLM&mode=related&search=

Baaderonixx immer wieder (baaderonixx), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 11:59 (nineteen years ago)

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.

jacques lu c on t (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 15:27 (nineteen years ago)

PMT could smolder though, couldn't he?? DAG

Tracey Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 15:30 (nineteen years ago)

uh huh!

jacques lu c on t (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 15:33 (nineteen years ago)

two weeks pass...
I fear nothing in the actual movie will be as cool as the trailer's pistol-cock montage synched to "Numb/Encore".

milo z (mlp), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 22:17 (nineteen years ago)

one of the village voice's new outsourced movie reviewers liked it

gear (gear), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 22:25 (nineteen years ago)

i'm excited!

M@tt He1geson: Real Name, No Gimmicks (Matt Helgeson), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 22:48 (nineteen years ago)

will probably see this

kingfish cyclopean ice cream (kingfish 2.0), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 23:26 (nineteen years ago)

Rotten Tomatoes put down David Denby's review as a negative, but then reconsidered and now its a positive. I don't trust them anymore.

The Ultimate Conclusion (lokar), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 23:53 (nineteen years ago)

Colin Farrell's hot factor is severly reduced when he is not speaking in an irish accent. :/

I want to punch Jamie Foxx in his long fucking face.

But Gong Li, yay!

Jessie the Monster (scarymonsterrr), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 23:56 (nineteen years ago)

They've just released the second season on dvd, this movie is going to suck balls big time though.

Ste (Fuzzy), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 07:19 (nineteen years ago)

GTFO

Roughage Crew (Enrique), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 07:21 (nineteen years ago)

Hmmm.

The look: Unlike the bright candy colors of the TV series, this version is dark, violent, and — like Mann's 2004 thriller "Collateral" — digitally shot, which adds to its raw, gritty vibe. There isn't an ounce of kitsch here. Any connection to the TV show is unrecognizable, both in visual and narrative style.

The plot: Mann doesn't bother with exposition. (This is a would-be summer blockbuster, after all.) Think drug busts, guns, speedboats, planes, danger and steamy sex.

The locale: "The allure of Miami has sustained itself in my imagination," Mann says on the film's official website. "The city has a perfumed reality, where things are not exactly what they seem. It's very attractive, alluring and sensual; it's also very dangerous."

The music: Where have you gone, Jan Hammer? Setting the aural mood this time are Moby, India.Arie, Goldfrapp, Mogwai and others, yet the soundtrack proves oddly disappointing.

The fashion: Crockett sports a handlebar mustache and both men sport sexy sunglasses. Expect more chocolate browns and charcoal grays than pale linens, but the suits are still expensive.

Memorable lines: "Things get emotional, moves get messy; moves get messy, and the wrong people die." "There's undercover, and then there is which way is up."

Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 13:45 (nineteen years ago)

Both of those memorable lines were in the trailer, hopefully they didn't blow the best material in the preview again..

Juan Donson (mike h.), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 13:50 (nineteen years ago)

hahaha

papal hotwife (milo z), Saturday, 6 November 2021 20:07 (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
