Dif’s only half wrong
December 19th, 2005The writing on “Miami Vice” was quite gay.
In fact, maybe Philip Michael Thomas isn’t so bad after all. Maybe he was just saddled with bad lines. I mean, you can’t say things like…
“I hate machine guns! When I get shot at by a .30 caliber, M-60 machine gun, I get scared! And when I get scared, I get angry! I will not calm down! Machine guns effect my ability to perform and I don’t like that!”
… and then expect to hold your own on-screen next to hot women and hotter guns and Ferraris and one of the sexiest men that ever worked in Hollywood.
The directing made up for the bad writing, though. That’s easily the prettiest TV show ever made. As TV Land recently said it on “Pastelevision”: “The best episodes, the hottest guest stars and the finest cotton separates.”
(I linked that for you, Dif, because I missed your “Best of” post and that one was as much fun as I think I’ve ever had with this blogging nonsense. But my best would easily be The real gospel. I didn’t write it myself. I was just privileged to type it and it’s been the source of some controversy, so it must be right. I’ll never back down from it, either.)
Is that all you’ve got? You don’t even know what material I kept in reserve.
Do tell. I conceded a little ground and you responded with another challenge.
If you got something, bring it, cutie pie. I’m in a throw down kinda mood.
See the update on my blog. It appears God is already judging Miami for allowing that movie to be filmed there.
