If they ever do a "Miami Vice" reunion (not counting the 2006 film), is there any doubt that Crockett will still be living on his boat, only somehwere in the Florida Keys?


Like most cliches, they're the best friends for the creatively bankrupt. I mean how many big budget Hollywood movies have destroyed New York City? (Hell we had two movies this summer involving NYC and the alien invasion plot: THE AVENGERS and MEN IN BLACK 3.) I would blame that cliche on the original KING KONG.

I thought the last TRANSFORMERS movie was truely atrocious, but I'll give Michael Bay and those assholes credit for at least having those alien robots blow up Chicago.
