Oh did you? Jamie Foxx has a house on South Beach (somewhere) and, he's seen here a lot. I haven't seen any clips of the movie but, I have seen some video stills. Miami Vice the TV show, although I watched it some, was just too phony for me. However, Miami in the 80s was so full of drugs you could almost smell it on the streets. We could spend several full nights up until sunrise with just my experiences (and people I knew). I was actually selling weed for about a year in 1983. Most of that time it was my only income but, I was not a user of my own product. ;-)
Yeah, the show was phony in lots of ways. The movie isn't true-to-life either. But I love Mann's style from a cinematographic standpoint. He makes everything so abstract. I bet Miami was something back then. I bet it's something now. It was odd seeing Jamie Foxx in that role. I liked the film, though.

In other news, we went to see Miami Vice -- we're big fans of director Michael Mann's visual approach -- and I thought of you.
