Erix Posted June 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Thanks for all the support.You can expect at least one more this week. Hi Erix!I've only read the first two so far but I LOVE it! Love your sense of humor! Can't wait to read your reviews on the Burnett Trilogy! Though I guess' date=' that'll be a while..I'll keep on reading!Thanks a lot![/quote']That will be a while. And you've got some catching up to do... Pleased you enjoy the "tendency" rundowns. .....These blogs are a lot of fun for me to do. But to know that other Vice fans are getting a kick out of them is even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsEvanFreed Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Ah yes, Tubbs and Co. takedown the Menudo Gangbangers.This is one of the MV episodes that I simply can't stand.PMT blatantly shilling a song from his Triple Concrete album.Poor usage of Marcellus WallaceJay O. Sanders as a typical cliched asshole tv cop.Great review though, look forward to the next one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsEvanFreed Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Over a month, still no new reviews.Hope he's okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsEvanFreed Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 Well this guy is still active on Chud.com, posting a film review recently as 10/27/11Guess he has scrapped the project here, might as well lock this thread down Mods.

Erix Posted December 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 *peeks around the corner**doesn't see anyone**crickets*Hello?....Ah... Um. Hi... Um... May I come in?Thanks.*sits down*And so... I am back in business. Why have I been away for so long? A number of factors... Most too uninteresting to go into. Suffice to say, I really missed doing this and I'm hoping the audience is still out there for it. I know I promised not to go away last time and then I went ahead and disappeared for months. But, this time, like the proverbial alcoholic...I promise I mean it! I'll be doing them on a regular basis again. This means AT LEAST one per week. In some cases, I'll do more. I might take a short break after each season. But not after season 1 because, let's face it, I already took a pretty long vacation and I have work to do! So... Here we go and thanks for your continued interest.MADE FOR EACH OTHER(Oh... And just as a clarification, I haven't been as "active" on Chud as it may have appeared. Most of those film reviews that were posted had already been written months in advance. They were just posted on those dates. I have been neglecting a lot of my writing, to be honest. But I really am back now.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsEvanFreed Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Never was a fan of Made For Each Other, but the review is hilarious.Noogie's fingers still frighten me after all these yrs.Oh and welcome back Erix! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsEvanFreed Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Sylvia Miles was hilarious, too bad she didn't pop up again.This was the 2nd episode to feature one of my favorite Jan Hammer tracks.Night Talk.Another funny review.

Erix Posted January 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 The bit with Sylvia Miles asking Crockett and Castillo to please not rape her is one of the best moments in the series. Anyway... You guys don't look so bad, here's another.NOBODY LIVES FOREVER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsEvanFreed Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Those ridiculous hoodlums knocked this one down a few pts for me.Especially Michael Carmine, who returns in a later season as annother equally annoying character.The scene where Gina grills Tubbs about Brenda, very sad to watch.Great review.

Erix Posted January 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 The Gina scene is sad on several levels. You get the sense, throughout the series, that they never really knew what to do with her. There was the potential with both Gina and Trudy to do something interesting. But, ultimately, they usually served as props.I will have plenty to say about Gina when I cover "Heroes of the Revolution," but that's still a ways off.

Viceman Cometh Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 "Heroes of the Revolution," but that's still a ways off.Actually, what you're noticing might be the show's slow and eventually total evolution into "The Don Johnson Show." The producers had built a wonderful ensemble cast, but an icon (like DJ was in the 80s) only comes around every so often and they completely shifted the focus of the show, as seasons went on, to capitalize on his meteoric popularity. It's one of the great tragedies of the show, because it could have been so much more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viceman Cometh Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Good point - but DJ did stand out from the rest of the cast considerably As F-man always says (and I can't disagree) "It was Crockett's show." He was always the "main" character, the guy who was supposed to be our entry point into the show. But I do firmly believe that DJ's unexpected popularity had an affect on the show's direction.

Erix Posted January 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 They managed to keep a healthy balance throughout the first two seasons. Maybe it wasn't an ensemble, but they really emphasized the "buddy movie" aspect of the show. Things began to really go off the rails later.But, don't worry, as dismal as it gets - I'll still have fun covering it. Just don't expect too many 4 Castillo episodes.

Erix Posted February 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Just want to give everyone a heads up. The spoilerific write-up for Evan will be ready in a couple of days. So, sit tight. It's one of my favorite episodes. I think yours too. I am giving it the care it deserves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
