I mentioned it before but the movie looks and feels so goddamn amazing. The story has some issues. If rumors are to be believed it was because Jamie Foxx had some demands that screwed up the production so things had to be changed.

when they were filming in the dominican republic their security got into a gun fight with a local

I think at that point jamie foxx said gently caress this and went back to the US, refusing to do any more shooting outside the country

I've heard some of his other demands were ridiculous at times, but I totally get that one

Yeah I heard something about unsafe shooting conditions with regard to the cigarette boats out in stormy conditions/lightning too, which sounds bad. But it did look amazing! :haw:

Maybe wait for the trade paperback of Heat 2. Never buy hardcovers new.

Barnes & Noble has new bestseller hardcovers for 30% off. Plus another ten percent off if you're a Barnes & Noble member. At only 25 bucks a year, a Barnes & Noble membership pays for itself pretty quickly.

The TV show is for the most part top tier TV. I would at the very least watch the pilot. It's basically a really good Michael Mann movie.

Yeah it's not a cash-in. Jamie Foxx was like, "Hey Michael, you should do a Miami Vice movie." So they did.

You're quite good at turning me on.

I remember a lot of people dismissing 2006 Miami Vice because they thought it would be an obvious comedy like the Starsky and Hutch movie but it's basically a modernized feature length episode of the show. One of its biggest strengths is it doesn't even try to set up an origin story for Crockett and Tubbs, they're already established partners.

They are ok. Though ive stopped reading them because shes a loving terf.


Edit: my memory of the miami vice movie is that it was both visually incredibly striking with a very distinct mood and also boring as goddamn hell.

Minus some memory of a car and a sniper? Its all fuzzy. I remember the boredom though and the shock that something could be pretty AND loving boring

Miami Vice came out back when I was still working in theaters and I can tell you that while the gun fights did sound amazing and real, the same could not be said for like 60% of the dialog. I just could not understand what people were saying in most scenes. I'd check again and again as it moved between 4 or 5 different screening rooms throughout the weeks it was showing, and in each room it was the same thing.

I'd take my breaks in there, napping in the back rows, because the some of the music was rad and the dialog was that perfect level of sleep inducing, nigh-unintelligble warbling.

The movie is indeed kinda boring and surprisingly subdued for most of it, but when the climax kicks in it fires on all cylinders. It suffers from not having a big action scene in the middle like the bank robbery in HEAT. It's similar to BLACKHAT where there's just a lot of slow burn plot without much happening in the middle until Hacker Thor rams a car off a parking garage and then it's great.

Subtitles help a lot with the dialogue.

The hostage rescue scene in Miami Vice movie was pretty great too.

The car sniper scene had some CG that aged pretty badly though.

The sound and music are both fantastic too. The dialogue is usually pretty muted in Mann films though, but unlike Nolan movies with a complicated stupid plot it doesn't really matter that much. The plots aren't very complex in Mann flicks, you get the gist of what's going on. I bet they translate abroad really well!
