Is Mann not involved with the second season of Tokyo Vice? I watched that back to back with True Detective S1 in 2022 and it compared favourably.

I was on a streak for awhile and lost momentum in the third season. Was fun to spot the weird cameo combos in every other episode. Steve Buscemi and Willie Nelson, Gene Simmons and Luis Guzman, Phil Collins and Emo Phillips, Liam Neeson and Jeff Fahey, etc.

Sometimes people ask me if there are any obvious signs that Miami Vice was made in the 1980s, so I say "Have you ever seen the episode where Edward James Olmos takes out a KGB hitsquad with a katana, to fulfil the bushido code he learned while on assignment in Thailand(!?)"

Bruce Willis, Frances McDormand, Joe Mantegna, Elliott Gould… plus an absurd number of future Star Trek actors including Tim Russ, Brent Spiner, and Terry Farrell.

I was trying not to spoil that but yeah, poo poo gets wild whenever you learn more about his character, who starts off just intensely glaring at everyone no matter the context.

Yeah, Olmos is great: in an era when every cop's boss was this angry shouty guy, he decided to do everything with this quiet intensity.

Olmos legendarily hated Don Johnson, who was just a cool laid back dude. That really adds to their tension on screen.

You're in for a treat. Its maybe the best cameo movie of all time (Charlton Fuckin Heston)and Val Kilmer should have easily won an oscar. It's extremely bad timing that it went up against Unforgiven in the awards chase

Great film, rewatched recently & lots of little stuff I forgot about like Bill Paxton being the most cheerful brother or Wyatt giving them a whole lotta chances before going vendetta & how the Cowboys weren’t a monolithic group. Also watched many movies before picking up on what a treasure Powers Boothe was. Was that the last great Michael Biehn performance? Fantastic adversary for Doc. Trying not to just list favorite scenes but Doc explaining pushing his pneumonia riddled body to exhaustion because Wyatt is his friend might win. Vampire Panties posted:You're in for a treat. It’s maybe the best cameo movie of all time (Charlton Fuckin Heston) He was also a one scene delight in True Lies & Any Given Sunday. It was fascinating to hear not-conservative comedian & Planet of the Apes mega fan Dana Gould tell of meeting him when he was new in Hollywood & Heston was way nicer than he had to be to this nobody & gave him good advice about getting into the guild as soon as he could for the medical coverage & said he’d mail an autographed photo, which not only he remembered to do it arrived that same week Hyrax Attack! fucked around with this message at 03:59 on Apr 1, 2024 |

Has great trivia too like with the faro card game how apparently it was notorious for being easy for dealers to rig so Wyatt probably did that to win the mine, & later when he’s trying to keep the peace with Curly, Bill Paxton is noticeably already starting to pay him out before the hand is finished.

Tombstone is great, the ending is kinda sappy typical 90s, but I love it because it's just two hours of cowboys being fucken HARSH at each other.

I saw him chowing down, like absolutely going to town, on something 2 spots ahead of me in line while being an rear end in a top hat with a full mouth to the cashier, straight giving her the business, at the Cerrillos Whole Foods in Santa Fe post-weight-gain, pre-cancer one time. It was like that copypasta but IRL and way, way before it ever showed up.

Kilmer was infamous for being difficult to work with. I think one of the best documented cases was The Island of Dr. Moreau.

I beg everyone to watch that documentary about that movie. Stars intentionally sabotaging the movie for kicks, a former director placing curses on the production from the woods nearby, actors being held hostage by their contracts and threats of legal action, it’s got it all!

it’s very obvious to me that no one in entertainment has any idea why sometimes their stuff is popular/successful every actor ever thinks they are the star of the universe and they can’t tell if they are at the top of their game or are floundering in a terrible project that’s failing the people funding everything see it as a quick buck and it’s corruption/nepotism all the way down by design and mostly they are laundering money for tax reasons every once in a while it all comes together and some amazing movie gets made and it’s literally magic and makes a billion dollars
