Maybe it’s just that iconic last scene that sticks in my head. RETRACTED COMMENT!
The RIP thread
For me, the bottom line re: Heat is this: Michael Mann only makes BANGERS.
I still thoroughly enjoy “Miami Vice” even if the entire thing is ludicrous and possibly terrible.
jonattonyeah movie or the TV show? The movie was alright, not seen the TV show since it aired.
jonattonyeah Colin Farrell master class.
This is a gen awesome story. Probably the first movie I saw Ray in too.
The movie. Which I’m pretty sure is just outright bad. But the stories of a coked out Colin driving Foxx ’round the bend are great. Foxx refused to film the last scene as they all almost got kidnapped in the DR. The era Colin filming in Miami….bad idea.
LT42 New Dawn Fades is a Joy Division track. It’s on Unknown Pleasures.
TitianWarrior pardon of course, Joy Division

Farrell said he was so out of his mind during filming he watched the premiere wondering what would happen next

Damn. Dave Smith of Sequential Circuits fame has died. His synths undeniably shaped all of our collective love for music. RIP to a real one.
Just saw that, I wonder if that’s why he sold recently. It’s been a tough week for synth heads. RIP Dave Smith.
Did a google search for Dave Smith.
Many of those!
Great tribute to Liotta from Scorsese in the grauniad
Julee Cruise, known best for her work with Angelo Badalamenti on the Twin Peaks-soundtrack has died.
An absolute tune. As David put it, her voice sounded like a dream. RIP
Gutted. This was boss. Still sounds fresh as fuck.
Going to watch episode 7 of season 2 now to pay her respects. It’s my favorite episode after the pilot, so it’ll be a pleasure.

I really really wanted to enjoy Twin Peaks but I simply couldn’t get past the first few episodes of season 2. Couldn’t tell you what on earth was going on. I remember reading the plot on Wikipedia and getting confused, and that was a summary. Maybe I’ll try again one day.
Anyway, RIP to Julee Cruise….Falling is a great tune

gcw I really really wanted to enjoy Twin Peaks but I simply couldn’t get past the first few episodes of season 2.
It does sag at times around the half-way stage of season 2 (with Lynch not actually directing many of those episodes), though the last couple of episodes make up for the perseverance.
Plus the 3rd season which came out a few years ago was absolutely sensational. Truly a tour de force. It’s worth slogging through the old season 2 for. Some of the most extraordinary scenes committed to screen.
Season 3 is the greatest prestige tv show of all time. And it has aged fantastically. Just recently started a rewatch and I am more dialed in than ever. The Mitchum Bros are such wonderful characters.
Once I’ve got a TV good enough to do it justice then season 3 is def getting a rewatch from me as well.
