You had a good night!

To which Larry replies, “You’re a machine!” and something like his head being the body, his nose is (something), his mouth is the hood, and the dog is his fuel. Stan gets him back later in the episode with the “male pattern baldness” diss.

There’s something to be said for the films of the 70’s, and I think it’s not just a matter of taste. Film historians often rank that decade as one of the best ever along with the 30’s. The decade marked the emergence of the auteur filmmaker after the final collapse of the studio system in Hollywood. It also resulted from the rise of graduate film programs in the 60’s and the loosening of social restrictions on acceptable content. Other pressures on the film industry forced it to adapt and change. This included television’s growing popularity particularly the arrival of color in the late 60’s. Most don’t realize that there were still Academy Awards for both color and black and white cinematography in the 60’s. All of these things led to an incredible variety of subjects being funded and the “vision” of individual directors being fully expressed in the final product. The 70’s saw studio funded films of all types but being created in a new way not fully in their control. It ultimately led to an unbelievable variety of excellent films. I won’t go into titles, but as I stated at the start, film historians praise the decade’s variety. The decade started before the concept of the summer blockbuster existed, though Jaws would change all that. Much of this creativity continued into the 80’s, but gradually, finding the next blockbuster became the main focus of studio dollars. We see the culmination of that in today’s film industry. I think that’s what many people lament. Some here have rightly pointed out that much of the best filmmaking today is being done for television. I completely agree. These cable and now streaming films seem to be the most creative outlet in the industry. It may be a different path to the audience than in previous decades, but if it produces interesting, original material, then I welcome it.

Hey Pals !!! Thought pal that pal this pal was pal pretty pal funny pal.....pal...

Bob Balaban played Ira Stone in two episodes of Miami Vice ("Back in the World" and "Stone's War"). He was also in Seinfeld, as a TV executive at NBC.

I love Seinfeld. It’s my favorite comedy sitcom, tied with The Simpsons if you consider that a sitcom... well, it’s a comedy show for adults. I’ve seen every episode of Seinfeld probably at least 5 times. Some of the fondest memories growing up is watching reruns of Seinfeld, Simpsons, and Home Improvement everyday after school with my dad. While I love the 80’s the best, the 90’s was a magical time for comedy tv shows! I almost forgot Kramer (Michael Richards) guest-starred on Vice! He was in “The Fix”.

In Lombard Stan's says something like "have you ever seen a guy eat a dog before?" while they are surveilling Al.

I watched Evan and Lombard last night and pretty sure that happened in one of them. Think it's when Switek and Zito are staking out Lombard...or was it?

I’ve been working at home since March 16th. I work as a “medical service coordinator”. I work in occupational health with scheduling exams for multiple contracts. It’s kind of complicated... But I did work in-office before then. We’re still working from home with no end in sight due to the virus. I don’t mind so much, as in downtime I have more time to view this forum and doodle around on my music.

"Hello, Jerry!" A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.... there were TV shows who stuffed their viewers with morality preaches and happy endings. It was a time of happiness and innocence.But dark and difficult times lie ahead as an unknown enemy would dare go on and challenge the almighty ones by delivering us something new, something refreshing, something evil.It was the tale of 4 self obsessed egos who only gave pain and despair to whom ever where unlucky enough to cross their path throughout 9 seasons of immorality.So it bagan, where a show about absolutely nothing would go on to be become one of best things to ever hit the television screen! I thought the best show to come out of the 90s deserved its own thread.Even though the two last seasons were a bit "lighter" than the rest, I can think of no other sitcom that comes even close to Seinfeld in their prime. So are there any Seinfeld/Larry David fans here?

Below are pics from Bank Popular inside 1221 Brickell Ave (Greenberg Taurig Building). I think that is enough proof that all the casino and agent office scenes were indeed filmed inside there? All matches, from the overhead pattern to the glass block walls to the silver railings to the high atrium that we partially see when the agent fell to death. Elevators are there too. I think the last, third picture below shows exactly the filming location of the casino (one of the pics above with the elevators marked)

Karla Tamburelli, who we know as Ample Annie on Miami Vice was also in an episode of Seinfeld playing George's Girlfriend Daphne.

I feel like CGI kinda ruined movies. Instead of it being a tool that opened up endless possibilities, we got these weird animated live action hybrid movies where you can tell the actors are on a soundstage covered in green screen. There's like some incongruence between the limitation of the actors on the set and the freedom of the characters in the movie. Then you watch the French Connection or something filmed in the real world and it looks as innovative now as it did almost 50 years ago. Lucas' Star Wars prequels look obsolete only 15 years later. The Avengers movies are not going to age well either.

Great song! This has three classic Yamaha DX7 sounds (marimba, electric piano and harmonica). You may notice that harmonica tone sounds just like Tina Turner’s “What’s Love Got To Do With It”.

Aguirre the Wrath of God. I'm afraid I have to say this. Kinski was an appalling and disgusting person. Just read his wikipedia. The only film I can watch with him is The Great Silence.

I always think of the the Tom Hanks movie “Big” when I hear this. It’s when they’re jumping on the trampoline I think.

Volo had this on their Youtube page. He talks a bit about the history of the Daytonas. He claims he built 92 complete Daytonas and 350+ Kits

And what about the ice cream waitress from "Lombard"? Wow!

Another awesome find Tom! Austrians rule!

@timm525 Izzy could have used some shoe sales tips from you. #vacuform

I think we see him sitting the in the (authentic) Daytona before this scene.

Look at the pilot episode, Brothers Keeper. The scene where Sonny is talking to Scottie Wheeler in the Daytona. If you look closely at Sonny's headrest, you'll see Al mardikian's "M" logo.

And here's a video from Brian at Volo about Car1 (discussed by Tom McB above) before he did his 2nd restoration.
