..ever wondered what sort of person you'd have been?
you were probably stupid and weak willed anyway i wouldnt worry about itIt's that horrible nagging feeling that they've ultimately made you more stupid and lazy, they weren't worth it, you could have been so much more, and the worst of it is you can never know for sure (unless you actually have had some sort of drastic mental breakdown or something of course)
if you meet craner though you will say to yourself, that's a man that should of done drugs. he's failed to meet his potential as a result of avoiding drugs everyone says so
craner doesFUCK YEAH!
WHO HAS A MIAMI VICE BOXSET!
???
REVIEW?
It's really fascinating the influence this show and Miami had on American culture in general in the 1980s, similar to the impact the equally piratical Milan had on 1980s Italy. Miami Vice was both built on and partly shaped Miami culture which, in turn, seeped into the way America presented itself and was received by the rest of the world: the mainstreaming of the Art Deco revival; the use of pastel shades and the removal of "earth tones" from product design and decor; T-shirts under Armani jackets and the invasion of Italian design into American men's fashion; Rolex and Ebel watches and Ray-ban Wayfarers; the invention of 'designer stubble'; Ferrari Testarossa and Daytonas, Porsche 911s and the Lamborghini Countach; Endeavor yachts and offshore powerboats. This was the dream that the 1990s did everything that it could to exorcise. That ultimately failed and the world that emerged out of the 2000s aspired to this more than anything else.Even when I was on Hill Street Blues, I was collecting information on Miami, I thought of it as a sort of a modern-day American Casablanca. It seemed to be an interesting socio-economic tide pool: the incredible number of refugees from Central America and Cuba, the already extensive Cuban-American community, and on top of all that the drug trade. There is a fascinating amount of service industries that revolve around the drug trade—money laundering, bail bondsmen, attorneys who service drug smugglers. Miami has become a sort of Barbary Coast of free enterprise gone berserk.
