A Mesa resident was one of two soldiers killed during a military operation in Afghanistan on Friday, Dec. 12, according to the Department of Defense.
Spc. Wyatt J. Martin, 22, died when the vehicle he was riding in struck an improvised explosive device, according to the DOD news release.
Sgt. 1st Class Ramon S. Morris, 37, of New York, also died during the attack, which occurred in the Parwan province.
MONTINI: Worst reminder we're still at war
Both soldiers belonged to the 3rd Engineer Battalion, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, Fort Hood, Texas.
Martin is remembered by family and friends as having a "bigger than life" personality and as an inspiration to all who knew him.
Julie Martin, Wyatt's mother, told 12 News her son loved his job and saw it as an opportunity to give back to the community.
He enjoyed the military's structure and taking a leadership role, she said.
"It's what he wanted to do" Martin said. "He always felt good about what he did and I felt good about who he was and how he represented us, his country and the military."
Wyatt, the youngest of three, loved fishing and hunting, and wanted to work in the Game and Fish Department, his father, Brian Martin, told 12 News.
Friends nicknamed him Paul Bunyan in high school because of his adventurous attitude and love of the outdoors, his mother said.
The Martins, who last saw their son in June during a family vacation to Michigan, said they'll most miss his hugs and his excitement.
Jordan Williams, Wyatt's childhood friend, described him as "easily the greatest man I've ever met."
"He always found a way to brighten people's days no matter what," he said. "It was what drew people to him."
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer ordered that flags at all state office buildings be lowered to half-staff on Monday, Dec. 15 in honor of Martin. Flags will also be lowered the day of Martin's funeral service, according to a statement from the governor's office. A date has not been announced.
"Please join me in offering a prayer for Specialist Martin, for his loved ones, and for all the men and women who have risked and given their lives to preserve and protect freedom throughout the world," Brewer said in the statement.
As of Dec. 11, 2,214 U.S. military members have died in Afghanistan as a result of Operation Enduring Freedom, according to the Defense Department.

These statistics describe the foreign citizens permanently resident in Finland who have been granted Finnish nationality during the statistical year. A citizen of a foreign country may receive Finnish citizenship after six years' of residence in Finland. A foreign citizen who has been married to a Finnish citizen and lived in Finland for three years may be granted Finnish citizenship. Finnish citizenship can be granted through an application procedure or a declaration procedure, but the data of Statistics Finland does not contain information on this. Finnish citizenships acquired at birth are not included in these statistics.
The statistics contain demographic data on recipients of Finnish citizenship, such as those on age, gender, marital status, native language, former nationality, country of birth and year of marriage. These data describe the situation on the day of granting nationality. A person with dual nationality of which one is Finnish is recorded in population statistics as a Finnish citizen. Persons permanently resident abroad at the time of granting of citizenship are not included in the statistics.
The data are available by a variety of regional divisions based on municipalities. Since 1999, nationality, country of birth and language have been classified according to ISO standards. A version suitable for the classification of nationalities in population statistics has been produced of the standards. Statistics Finland's own classifications were use prior to this. Age is classified according to 1 or 5-year cohorts.
The classification into regions and the statistical grouping of municipalities have been used since 1997. The respective categories used prior to this were province and type of municipality. Since 1999, the regional classification entering into force at the beginning of the year following the statistical reference year has been applied in the statistics on granted Finnish citizenships. Since 2003, it has been possible to produce to special order data on the municipalities having merged at the turn of the year according to the regional division valid on the last day of the year preceding the merger.
Finnish population statistics are based on data derived from the Population Register Centre's Population Information System maintained by Administrative Courts. The Directorate of Immigration decides about the granting of Finnish citizenships (the Nationality Act 359/2003) and enters data about the decisions into the Population Information System. The Population Register Centre supplies the data to Statistics Finland.
Final statistics are published once a year in May.
The final statistics for a calendar year are ready in May of the next calendar year unless otherwise stated. Preliminary data on recipients of Finnish citizenships are available from Statistics Finland's Population and Cause of Death Statistics unit. The final statistics on granted Finnish citizenships are released on Statistics Finland's website in May and in the paper publication "Vital statistics" in December.
Data on granted citizenships can be produced from vital statistics data in electronic format from 1987 onwards. Data on annual numbers of citizenships granted are available from 1931 onwards.

Kant's basic solution to this antinomy is given immediately (sect.71): the problem is simply that reason has forgotten that the second of these principles is not constitutive of its object – that is, does not account of the object's existence.
(This of course continues the treatment of the intellectus ectypus begun in sect.77 and of the idealism of reflective judgment in sect.58.) To This means that Kant is describing the 'proportion' between understanding and intuition as something like the always present possibility of the faculties being freed to mutually enact their essence. is a further specification of what the judgment of taste must be based upon if reason].' He is referring here particularly to the principle of reflective judgment (and especially aesthetic judgments on the beautiful) that nature will exhibit a purposiveness with respect to our faculty of judgment, that 'particular' laws of nature will always be 'possible'. This final purpose linked to the higher, moral, faculty of desire Kant calls the 'highest good' (summum bonum). This argument, however, is rather weak. This What provides soul in fine art is an aesthetic idea. Kant's answer is complicated. importantly, can be seen itself to have the form of a judgment in general.
for understanding the nature of the judgments of taste. This perfect attitude inferentially informs the aesthetic-attitude However, as Kant makes clear in the Introduction to the Critique of Judgment, the practical faculties in general have to do with desire – i.e. Thus the latter (where the judgment has to proceed without a concept, sometimes in order to form a new concept) forms the greater philosophical problem here. This is of course related to the fact that Kant's aesthetics has been hugely influential, while his teleology has sparked less contemporary interest; and also the fact that, in the Introduction to the whole text, Kant writes that 'In a critique of judgment, [only] the part that deals with aesthetic judgment belongs to it essentially.' (Introduction VIII). An object's purpose is the concept according to which it was made (the concept of a vegetable soup in the mind of the cook, for example); an object is purposive if it appears to have such a purpose; if, in other words, it appears to have been made or designed. The initial issue is: what kind of judgment is it that results in our saying, for example, 'That is a beautiful sunset'. In earlier work, Kant had pretty much assumed that judgment was simply a name for the combined operation of other, more fundamental, mental faculties. aesthetic awareness). At best, common sense was plausible as a possible explanation of, for example, the tendency to universality observed in aesthetic judgments. object that has a purposive form (that is, it is highly organised and On Kant's analysis, aesthetic judgments are still more strange even than ordinary reflective judgments, and must have a number of peculiar features which at first sight look like nothing other than paradoxes. This problem is investigated by that mental faculty which Kant believes is the key to this unity, namely judgment. The summum bonum, God as moral author (and the immortality of the soul, treated in the Critique of Practical Reason) are all such objects of faith. However, it would be wrong to ignore the 'Critique of Teleological Judgment' either on the grounds of its lesser influence, or especially on the assumption that its content is intrinsically less interesting. Moreover, Judgment has, on the side of the subjective mind, made it conceivable to reason that its theoretical and practical employments are not only compatible (that was proved already in the Antinomy concerning freedom) but also capable of co-ordination towards moral purposes. This includes things in space outside of us, but also aspects of sensible human nature that are the objects of sciences such as psychology. This is because Kant is quite happy with the idea that God's existence could never be necessary for theoretical reason. In Kant's account of practical reason, the moral law is conceived of as duty.

One Kant begins by giving a long clarification of art. Judgments Kant must overcome these paradoxes and explain how fine art can be produced at all.

Some Hidden Gems from 2019
And thus begins the end of the year lists. We've got a truncated Oscar season this year, so things are gonna be all over the place. Some of the articles you wouldn't normally see until January are gonna happen this month and some of the stuff that normally happens in January is gonna happen after the Oscars. It's a weird year, guys, so just roll with it.
The first thing I do always do is kill all the lawyers when I'm starting to wrap up the year is to start broadly recommending stuff. Mostly because rating performances and things of that sort is pointless when there's still a month of films left to watch. These articles allow me to go over things without the fact that some things are missing from the sample pool doesn't really matter as much. Since they're not meant to include everything, just some stuff that fits under the heading of the article.
The ones we'll begin with over the next few days are Hidden Gems, the Films That Surprised Me, the Films That Disappointed Me and my usual Overrated, Underrated and Underseen Films lists. I try to not overlap the lists too much, so typically something that appears on a Hidden Gems lists won't appear on the Underseen list if I can help it (though there are some overlaps, mostly on the films I really wanna promote. Which I could eliminate by shortening today's list, but fuck it. The goal is to get people to watch stuff). But typically I try to spread the wealth as much as possible.
Today is the Hidden Gems list, with a sampling of films I think are gonna be cool little discoveries for people from this year that didn't necessarily make a splash when they initially came out. Some are more hidden than others, but generally they're stuff that I thought was really wonderful that deserves a wider audience.
1. The Art of Self-Defense
Riley Stearns I'm sure made this list (or some version of this list) back in 2015 with his first feature, Faults. Which was the film with Mary Elizabeth Winstead about the woman who joined a cult and is kidnapped and taken to a motel to be deprogrammed. It's fantastic. This one is a much different movie than that. It is a very specific kind of comedy. The humor is completely deadpan and almost absurdist, and it's the kind of movie that either you're gonna get or you're gonna really dislike. (My recommendation for movies like this — watch the trailer. You'll know if it's for you or not.) Jesse Eisenberg plays a boring guy who gets attacked one night by a biker gang and decides he needs to be able to defend himself. So he signs up for karate classes. And pretty soon karate becomes his life. And… well, we'll leave it at that. It's a very funny movie. I watched it on a plane and laughed way louder than I should have at times (specifically during the climactic showdown). Eisenberg is great here, as are Alessandro Nivola and Imogen Poots. This isn't for everyone, but for those it is for, it's very funny.
2. Before You Know It
This was a real surprise. It's a Sundance indie and I expected nothing more than Sundance indie. But I found myself actually laughing out loud at points during this, and it felt different. It starts with the Woody Allen-type credits, but immediately distinguishes itself as something different. It starts with a queer date, which already makes it stand out. Rather than people coming back from a Bergman film and talking about Dostoyevsky. It's written by its stars, Hannah Pearl Utt (who also directs) and Jen Tullock, and it's about them finding out that their mother, who they thought was dead, is actually alive and starring on a soap opera. Mandy Patinkin plays their father (who sadly is in far too little of the film, despite the great character they set up for him) and Judith Light plays their mother. And it's just really smartly written and doesn't feel as stodgy as the typical New York indies with people who write plays that I usually get. Because it's made by younger people with a different mindset, and I really liked it. I don't know if anyone even knows this exists, but it deserves a shot. It's a really solid and likable indie that's written, directed by and starring women. I openly laughed at least three times while watching this one. It deserves a shot.
3. The Cat and the Moon
I always like watching movies directed by actors. A lot of the time they're terrible or just okay, unless it's a really high profile actor like Bradley Cooper. Generally they barely come out, and I have to go out of my way to see them, and usually it's a mixed bag that's largely forgettable. So I went into this with absolutely zero expectations. It's written and directed by Alex Wolff, who also stars in the film. You'll most recognize him as the son in Hereditary and as the main boy in Jumanji who becomes The Rock in the first one. He plays the son of a dead jazz musician whose mother is in rehab so he goes to stay with a friend of his father's. That friend is Mike Epps, who is really strong here in a dramatic role. And the film is about him hanging around New York, making friends at his new school and just sort of doing all that high school coming of age stuff while also coming to terms with his father's death and who his father was as a man. It's a really strong film. I was very surprised at how much I liked it. It's strong enough that I would very much tell people to seek it out and give it a shot. It gets a bit too much into high school drama, but for a film that was written and directed by a 22-year-old, I was very impressed by it.
4. Don't Let Go
One of my favorite movies from the past 20 years is Frequency. Jim Caviezel, Dennis Quaid — it's about a guy who magically contacts his dead father on a CB radio. Somehow he is communicating 30 years in the past. So while he is trying to solve a cold case series of murders, he's also trying to help save his dad (who died in a fire). It's a wonderful film. And this film takes a page from that book. It's a thriller with David Oyelowo and Storm Reid. He's a cop and she's his niece whose father has been clean but previously involved in drugs and drug deals and things of that sort. So one day he goes home to find his niece and both her parents brutally murdered inside the house in what looks like a murder-suicide deal. But then a few days later, he gets a call from his niece. Turns out, he's talking to her three days before the murders. So now he's trying to find a way to change her timeline so that she doesn't end up killed. And it's really engaging. Not as good as Frequency, but still a really solid film that I don't think people properly know about.
5. Fast Color
Love this one. For several reasons. First, it's a starring vehicle for Gugu Mbatha-Raw, who is one of the most underrated actresses working today. Second, it's a superhero movie, but a superhero indie movie. Which is even better. Think Midnight Special. Very low key and realistic. She plays a woman who was born with powers. However, she tried to dull those powers with years of alcohol and drug abuse, which has caused her to largely lose her powers but also suffer very bad seizures, which cause large blackouts and earthquakes in a small radius. And as such, the government is after her, because they know about her powers and want her in for all sorts of shady government shit. She, meanwhile, is trying to get back to her mother, who has been raising her young daughter while she's been away. And the film is basically a family drama about a woman coming back to prove that she's clean and fit enough to care for her daughter. And it's terrific. It's not trying to do anything big. There aren't any set pieces. It's just a really nice character movie where some of the characters just happen to have superpowers. It's really terrific.
6. Feast of the Seven Fishes
So this one I'd been sitting on for a while. And by sitting on, I mean — I saw that it was scheduled to come out like five months before it did. And usually when something is dated to come out on the VOD calendar that early, it's almost never going to happen, or it's not the kind of movie worth your time. But I saw the name and the Italian in me immediately sparked to it. Because I know what refers to. So I, of course, click on it to see what it's about. And I see what it's about and I go, "Oh god." Because I struggle with movies like this. Sometimes they hit too close to home and sometimes the Italians are just too cartoonish and it embarrasses me the way people from Boston feel when they hear a bad accent or things like that. I had planned to just skip it entirely, but curiosity got the better of me and I put it on. And goddamn, if I didn't enjoy the hell out of that movie. It's apparently based on a graphic novel and is a coming of age story about a guy in Pittsburgh in 1983 who is preparing for the big Christmas Eve feast (that's what the title refers to. Italians eat fish on Christmas Eve) and is dealing with an ex-girlfriend, wanting to go to art school instead of follow in the family business and a nice non-Catholic girl he meets over the course of the evening. It takes place basically over two days, and it's just a really nice film. It gets a lot of the family dynamic stuff really right, and I quite liked the laid back atmosphere of it all. Some stuff feels very trope-y, but for the most part there's a lot of charm to this. It's not gonna be for everyone, but I do really recommend it. I already know some family members who are gonna enjoy this one. Maybe the avenue on who this is for is very slim, but trust me, if that's your avenue, it's gonna hit big.
7. Freaks
The first movie I saw this year and the one I'm still talking about. This is an incredible sci fi movie that just keeps twisting and becoming something else every few minutes to the point where I was 20 minutes from its end and still had no idea where it was going. It starts pretty simply: Emile Hirsch and his young daughter are holed up in a house. And he doesn't let her outside because he says bad things are out there. And you don't know — did he kidnap her? Is this a custody dispute? Are there really bad things out there? What's going on? And you get invested in that, and then the movie changes. And then it gives you a little more, and then it becomes something else, and goes somewhere else. And it's just wonderful. It accomplishes a lot on a very small budget and is one of the most exciting movie I've seen this year. Nothing it shows you is wasted. Every little thing that it shows you comes back at some point later in the movie. It's a really great film and is one of the best hidden gems of this entire decade.
8. In the Shadow of the Moon
I knew nothing about this when I put it on. I thought maybe it was some kind of space thing. So imagine my surprise when it starts and I'm watching a police procedural. Which is what this movie is for its first act. Two cops going around as a bunch of people all die at the same time with the same unnatural cause of death, and one mysterious person who is seen around all of the crimes. And so that becomes really engaging for a while, and then it just takes off. Because it's both a character drama and sci fi thriller. And it goes places I was not expecting but also really loved. This is the definition of that movie you find on Netflix that you just love. And I don't think people even know this one ever came out or what to make of it. And it really deserves more eyeballs. You may not love it as I did, but you'll be engaged, that's for sure.
9. Light of My Life
Casey Affleck's directorial debut, which I understand will immediately turn a lot of people off. Plus it's easy to read negatively into the subject matter. It's a post-apocalyptic film where a virus has wiped out almost all the women on earth. And he plays a father who is trying to protect his daughter by traveling around with her disguised as a boy. But she's about to hit puberty. It's a film about fatherhood and trying to make sure your kids are able to care for themselves. It's a really great little film. Anna Pniowsky is terrific as the daughter and the film never gets too 'plotty', and never goes in for the stuff most other films of this ilk would go in for, like weird religious cults and things of that sort. It's just a basic 'daad protecting his daughter' film with all the metaphors about how dangerous society is for women and the things a parent will do to protect their child. I thought it was really great and I think if you're able to watch this as a film and not let all that outside stuff cloud your judgment, I think you're in for a real treat with this one.
10. Ms. Purple
Justin Chon already had a great hidden gem with his movie Gook from 2017 (also highly recommended) and I had a feeling this film would be more of the same. It's about a 20-something woman living in Koreatown in Los Angeles struggling to care for her ailing father by working as a hostess at a karaoke club while trying to reconnect with her estranged brother. It's a really great little character drama that feels very real and also never tries to do too much. Chon is really establishing himself as one of my favorite indie filmmakers, and his stuff should not go unnoticed.
11. The Nightingale
This is Jennifer Kent's followup to The Babadook, which has become one of the great horror gems of the decade. Because it takes place in 19th century Tasmania, it was pretty much a foregone conclusion that it was gonna end up a hidden gem. It's a tall ask to get casual film people up for a movie like this. Only psychos like me are all over stuff like that. And man, did this movie not disappoint. It's legitimately one of my favorite films from this entire year. It's about an Irish convict who becomes the victim of unspeakable violence from a British officer and chases him through the wilderness with the help of an aboriginal tracker. And it's awesome. One of the best revenge movies you'll see that is just impeccably acted and directed. Do not sleep on this movie, it's one of the best films of 2019.
12. Piercing
Directed by Nicolas Pesce, whose Eyes of My Mother was a great little gem of a debut. This one is based on a Ryu Murakami graphic novel and it is essentially a B movie Phantom Thread. Now, what I'm about to say might make that seem like a strange comparison. But trust me, it's accurate. Christopher Abbott stars as a new father (the opening scene is him holding an ice pick above his infant, trying not to give in to the urge to murder her) who's told his wife he's about to go out of town on business, but what he's really gonna do is go to a hotel, hire a prostitute and then murder her. The idea being that if he gets it out of his system, he won't want to murder the child. And the first part of the film is him in the hotel room, rehearsing how he's gonna do it (which is the most graphic thing in the film, somehow), then the prostitute (Mia Wasikowska) shows up… and things don't go as planned. I'll leave it at that. It's a very short film, only 80 minutes, but it's wonderful. And like I said, it makes a great B movie on a double bill with Phantom Thread. It's one of those great little discoveries from the year that a lot of people are gonna like.
13. Point Blank
This is very much a gem if you like action movies, but I imagine most people do. It's one of those great little Netflix thrillers, and it stars Frank Grillo, who is making a career out of stuff like this. It's him and Anthony Mackie, with him a small time criminal and Mackie a nurse who are on the run, trying to prove that Grillo didn't commit a murder he's accused of committing and that there's a ring of corrupt cops in the city. It's simple, it's lean and it's fun. And it has a fistfight that happens through a car wash, which is pretty awesome.
14. The Public
Emilio Estevez directed this movie, which automatically marks it as a hidden gem, because most people don't even know Emilio Estevez is a director, let alone still making movies. He stars in it as well, and plays a librarian in Cincinnati during the coldest winter on record. And, like most public libraries, the homeless use them as shelters throughout the day, since really no one else is in there using them a lot of the time. And one night, the homeless decide they're not gonna leave, because it's so cold out on the streets and the city is so underequipped to handle the amount of homeless at the shelters that people are dying. So they decide to do a peaceful sit in at the library, which turns into a media and police firestorm. Sort of like a Dog Day Afternoon, but without the criminal element. It's very good. I was quite surprised at how likable it is. It reminds me of films that I'd have seen growing up in the 90s. Just very watchable, character-driven films with great messages behind them. Some people might see this as dated and hokey, but I think this is exactly the kind of movie I want to discover from a year, rather than another generic CGI whatever that I'm gonna forget about in an hour.
15. See You Yesterday
I love this movie. This is exactly the kind of hidden gem I want to be championing. It's a time travel movie produced by Spike Lee about two smart teenagers in Brooklyn who are trying to build a time machine. Only, just as they get it to work, they find out that one of their brothers has been shot by the police. So now they're trying to go back in time to prevent that from happening, but only seem to cause other issues each time they go back. It's really good. It's really great, really fun and has a great social message behind it to boot. I really, really like this movie a lot, and it's one of the best Netflix movies out there for you to discover.
16. The Standoff at Sparrow Creek
One of the earliest films of the year to end up on this list. This came out in January. It's a very great, contained thriller that has shades of Hitchcock at times. It's about men in a local militia who find out that someone a militia shot up a cop funeral nearby. So they go to their hideout to regroup, only to find out that one of their guns is missing. Which means that one of them did it. So now they lock themselves inside and one of them, a former cop, conducts an investigation and interviews each of the men, trying to figure out which one of them did it. It's really great. Just a beautiful single-location thriller with some great writing and great performances. This is the kind of hidden gem that deserves to be seen, because it'll never get the kind of notoriety a lot of other films would get, but is every bit as good as those are.
17. The Souvenir
One of the more acclaimed indies of the year. But just because the 'film' people know about this doesn't mean that everyone does. Film tends to have two distinct camps: the 'arty' crowd (that was me not saying pretentious like I wanted to) and the people who only like mainstream studio superhero stuff (I'll refrain from using an adjective here). It's almost like how people view the extremes of the two political parties. But realistically, most people exist somewhere in between, and really you just want to keep the damn extremes and labels out of it and just watch what you want to watch. So, I will try to exist as a neutral party between these two and say that, while yes, this is more of an 'arty' film, it's still quite good. It's based on the director's first relationship as a young film student in the 80s, dating a much older man (who is also a drug addict). It looks gorgeous and it's really well-made. I will caution that there are some people who will not go for this at all and some who will go for it a little too much. I think it's a solid little gem from this year that should be seen.
18. Sweetheart
I love movies like this. Short, sweet and to the point. No frills whatsoever. Kiersey Clemons is a woman who washes ashore on a tiny island, a la Cast Away. And as she's starting to figure out how to survive, she also discovers a giant monster that lives just offshore and comes onto the island at night. It's a really great little survivor thriller that also has a nice message behind it (it takes a while, but eventually you realize what the title is about).
19. To Dust
I think this is the earliest hidden gem to come out. This was early February. And I know most people don't know about this one. Honestly the only reason I know about it is because I happened upon a trailer one day. It's a comedy that stars Matthew Broderick and Geza Rohrig, who starred in Son of Saul. Rohrig is a Hassidic Jew in New York whose wife has died. And he becomes obsessed with how her body is gonna decompose. So he seeks out Broderick, a high school biology professor, to find out. And eventually the two of them end up looking to bury a pig so they can see how it decomposes — it's a very strange little movie, but very lovely. A true hidden gem.
20. Where'd You Go, Bernadette
Why does Richard Linklater always end up on a 'hidden gems' list and not on a 'of course it's one of the best movies of the year' list? Boyhood is the only one that everyone knew about. Otherwise they're all perennially underseen and underrated. Every goddamn time. Him and Soderbergh. Only Soderbergh somehow exists on a step above him. I'm still telling people Everybody Wants Some is one of the best films of the decade and is on par with Dazed and Confused. Nobody knows. But this one — they pushed this into August, which is just Death Valley for films. And it's a tricky film, tonally, so the reviews were mixed and even got me, who was legitimately excited for this movie, to not go see it in a theater. But I started watching it and went, "Why did I wait? This is wonderful." And then of course I immediately went, "Of course it is. It's Richard Linklater." Which is exactly what happens with Soderbergh. Why did I not expect anything less every time out?" Anyway, this is based on a book and stars Cate Blanchett as a cult-famous architect who is married to Billy Crudup (who is basically Steve Jobs) and raising a daughter in Seattle. And it's about her realizing she gave up her creativity for a family, and is now struggling with it all, and everyone seems to be misunderstanding what's going on with her, and it all just builds to a boiling point. It's very fun, and Blanchett is terrific in this. Like, potential Best Actress nominee good (honestly, give me this performance over Blue Jasmine any day). I wish I wouldn't have to keep putting Linklater on these lists and we'd all just realize all his movies are good, but this is the world we live in.

Californication – Red Hot Chili Peppers
rockyourlyrics October 25, 2012 0 views
Lyric of the week0 views 12 min read
Rock your Lyrics is leaving for a trip to the States, New York and Los Angeles
We were thinking about a song that would inspire our trip and we think that CALIFORNICATION is a good one.
we really love the word : CALIFORNIa and FORNICATION….. what a nice combination…..
The song is mainly about the dark side of Hollywood and the export of culture through the movie industry.
The song begins "Psychic spies from China try to steal your mind's elation." Kiedis says in his book Scar Tissue that he got the inspiration for the lyric from when he was in New Zealand and he heard a woman on the street ranting about there being psychic spies in China.
The track also makes references to topics such as pornography ("hardcore soft porn") and plastic surgery ("pay your surgeon very well to break the spell of aging") and even some pop culture references including Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain and David Bowie ("Cobain, can you hear the spheres singing songs off Station to Station?"), Star Wars ("and Alderaan's not far away"), and Star Trek ("Space may be the final frontier but it's made in a Hollywood basement").
This quote can also be interpreted to be about the conspiracy that Neil Armstrong's original landing on the moon was indeed staged. "First born Unicorn/hard core-soft porn" refers to the late Dorothy Stratten. She was first born, and was written about in the novel "The Killing of the Unicorn".
http://youtu.be/mn67vSHIdOs
Guitarist John Frusciante exclusively recorded this song and "Otherside" with a vintage Gretsch White Falcon hollow body electric guitar; he also played these songs live with the White Falcon until 2006 when he retired it for one of his vintage Fender Stratocasters.
In Kiedis's book Scar Tissue he reveals that the band had enormous difficulty in putting the song together.
Kiedis had written the lyrics, which he felt were some of the best he had ever written, but the band could not decide how the song should sound musically. As they struggled with the song it seemed like they would not be able to finish it in time to include it on the album, until one day Frusciante walked into the studio and exclaimed that he had "figured it out".
He played the song as he visualised it, and it went from being a song that could have been an afterthought, to becoming one of the Red Hot Chili Peppers' greatest hits, similar to the way "Under the Bridge" was conceived.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers' Greatest Hits album uses a slightly different version of the song. Most notably, the first chorus is extended. The reason for this alternate version's appearance on the album is unknown.

Home News Aladdin - The sequel to the live action is currently under development
Aladdin - The sequel to the live action is currently under development
However, don't expect a return to Jafar
Pierluca Troiano
Disney's Aladdin live action remake will officially have a sequel. The writers John Gatins and Andrea Berloff were in fact hired to write it script main feature of the feature.
In August, one of the remake producers had claimed that Disney was actually interested in a sequel. Now, Variety reported that the producers have spent the past six months designing the script for the new chapter, focusing on something new rather than adapting the sequels of the animated counterparts.
The producers also hope that actors Will Smith, Mena Massoud and Naomi Scott will be able to return, though no contracts will be entered into until the script is complete. It is not yet known whether the director of the first film, Guy Ritchie, has been hired.
It would be the fourth sequel based on Disney live action. Alice in Wonderland e Maleficent they had, in fact, already had a sequel on the big screen. Disney also officially announced a sequel for The Jungle Book directed by Jon Favreau.
Already in 2015 there were numerous rumors about a possible Aladdin prequel focused on the figure of the Genius and, more recently, some rumors have stated that one spin-off of Aladdin focused on the figure of Prince Anders is in development. Presumably, this spin-off would go to the Disney + platform, while this sequel is directed to the big screen.

Q: installing and running Redis and Memcached on Xampp on Windows I have a Win 10 (Creator edition) PC, running Xampp with Apache and MySQL.
I need to install and run Redis and Memcached (not memcache) on it.
I've looked it up and found out that all I need to do is to enable the existing extensions located in the /xampp/php/ext folder for these components.
So:

*

*I don't have a DLL file for memcached (again, not memcache) there.
(everything I found for this matter is talking about enabling the existing extension, but again - I need memcached and not memcache)

*I do have the php_redis.dll file under the /xampp/php/ext folder and I enable it in the php.ini file, but when I run "phpinfo()" in my code, I don't see "redis" in the list of running components there.
What am I missing here and how can I get these two "clowns" to run on my Win-based Xampp system??

Q: Wanted to show component based on the drop down value using Angular 6 and Routing I am new to Angular.
I wanted to navigate different component based on the drop down value using Angular 6.
I have used router Module and am getting the values from drop down, but how to navigate to component based on the value of the drop down.
find the code
1> app.routing.module
const routes: Routes = [
  {path:'about',component : AboutComponent},
  {path:'home',component : HomeComponent}
];

@NgModule({
  imports: [RouterModule.forRoot(routes)],
  exports: [RouterModule]
})
export class AppRoutingModule { }

2> app.component.ts
export class AppComponent {

  navLinks = [
    { path : 'home', label : 'Home', id: 1 },
    { path : 'about', label : 'About', id: 2 }
  ];

3> app.component.html
<nav>
    <select id="department" name="department" [(ngModel)]="department" class="form-control">
        <option *ngFor="let links of navLinks" [value]="links.id" [routerLink]="links.path" routerLinkActive #rla="routerLinkActive">
          {{links.label}}
        </option>
      </select>
</nav>

A: routerLink and routerLinkActive won't work out of the box with select. Bind the selected value to an element, then navigate on select. Here's the full solution: https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-ualqhw
app.component.ts:
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { Router } from '@angular/router';

export interface INavLink {
  id : number;
  pathLink : string;
  label : string;
}

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: [ './app.component.css' ]
})

export class AppComponent  {
  name = 'Angular';

  selectedNavLink : INavLink;
  navLinks : Array<INavLink> = [
    { pathLink : '/home', label : 'Home', id: 1 },
    { pathLink : '/about', label : 'About', id: 2 }
  ];

  constructor(private router : Router){}

  routeToLink = (event : Event) => {
     this.router.navigate([this.selectedNavLink.pathLink]);

  }

}

app.component.html:
<nav>
    <select (change)="routeToLink()" id="department" name="department" [(ngModel)]="selectedNavLink" class="form-control">
        <option *ngFor="let link of navLinks" [ngValue]="link">
          {{link.label}}
        </option>
      </select>
</nav>

A: You can achieve this by injecting Router service in your component and by using navigate method
Your HTML would be like this
<nav>
    <select id="department" name="department" [(ngModel)]="department" class="form-control" (change)="navigate($event.target.value)">
        <option *ngFor="let links of navLinks" [value]="links.path" [routerLink]="links.path" routerLinkActive #rla="routerLinkActive">
          {{links.label}}
        </option>
      </select>
</nav>

Your component would look like this:
export class AppComponent  {
  navLinks = [
    { path : 'home', label : 'Home', id: 1 },
    { path : 'about', label : 'About', id: 2 }
  ];
  name = 'Angular';

  constructor(private router: Router) {

  }

  navigate(path) {
    this.router.navigate(['/' + path])
  }
}

EDIT
routerLink won't work for your select control since select does not have a click event which is captured by the RouterLink
// ** Code below is copied from Angular source code on GitHub. **
@HostListener("click")
  onClick(): boolean {
    // If no target, or if target is _self, prevent default browser behavior
    if (!isString(this.target) || this.target == '_self') {
      this._router.navigate(this._commands, this._routeSegment);
      return false;
    }
    return true;
  }

You've got an urgent requirement to fill a position. You're far along in your hiring process and think you've found someone who can do the job. You can't wait to get your new employee on board so you can meet the needs of your clients. Pause, take a breath, and ensure you conduct an effective reference check before you make a job offer.
Why should you conduct an effective reference check?
Talk to someone who previously worked with the candidate to learn about their work habits.
The purpose of a reference check is to obtain an evaluation of a candidate from someone who has previously worked with them. Ask the reference behavioural-based questions, just like you (hopefully) did in the job interview, to get objective information. Use the reference to verify information provided by the candidate during the interview.
Your interest is to talk to people who previously managed and worked with the candidate so they can vouch for his/her work.
Preferred references are the candidate's current or previous manager.
Obtain a minimum of 3 references from the candidate.
Personal references will likely not have worked with the candidate previously, would likely be extremely biased, and would only be able to provide a character reference not a work reference.
Budget a minimum of 15 minutes per reference to conduct a thorough reference check.
Ideally, you are able to have a conversation with the reference.
You would hope that your candidates have advised their references that you may be calling and that they have already resolved any obstacles with the reference prior to your call.
The candidate should provide up-to-date contact information. If a candidate has not done so, it may be that the reference is not a particularly strong reference. Or, it may be a reflection of that candidate's lack of attention to detail.
If your candidate provides a reference whose company has a policy of not providing references for previous employees, ask the reference if they will act as a personal reference rather than providing a reference on behalf of the company. This approach will work for some employers and you will still be obtaining information from a current or former manager.
If talking to the reference is not possible, another alternative would be to email your questions to the candidate and have them email a response back. Though not ideal, this approach may work for references who are in different time zones, who are extremely busy, or if there is a language barrier.
If the candidate does not have local references and can only provide foreign references, we still recommend contacting the overseas reference via phone or email.
After all your reference checks have been completed, determine if the information provided by the references confirms or contradicts your impression of the candidate.
Ideally, the reference checks will confirm that the candidate is a strong candidate.
If the reference checks raise concerns about the candidate that you feel make him/her no longer ideal, you can then proceed to another candidate. Better to find out about concerns at this stage rather than after the candidate starts working for you.
If you cannot obtain any useful information from the reference besides a confirmation of employment and position, advise the candidate and ask them for additional references.
Never hire anyone without conducting an effective reference check. You would be surprised how often we uncover damaging information about the candidate from their self-selected references. "NAME gave me as a reference? That's very strange – NAME left because they were fired/charged with fraud/stole company equipment…" You get the idea. We often get called to assist with the termination of an employee that could have been easily avoided had all the steps of the hiring process been followed, which includes conducting reference checks. Don't take a shortcut by avoiding reference checks. It will likely cost you more time, money and headaches later than conducting an effective reference check up front.
For human resources solutions on how to conduct an effective reference check for your small business, please contact Vancouver-based Clear HR Consulting, or check out the Hiring Employees module of our HR How-To Series for Small Business.

3:10 to Yuma
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdAYLVY0KrY
I never saw the original 3:10 to Yuma film, so I don't know if this remake is on point or if it goes off in a completely different direction or if scenes were added or subtracted. Anyway, 3:10 to Yuma staring Russell Crowe and Christian Bale is basically a Prisoner transport flick where Dan Evans (Bale) in dire need of money offers his services to transport notorious outlaw Ben Wade (Crowe) to the town of Contention to put him on the 3:10 to Yuma train, which is kinda like Con Air....only set in the Western Genre.
I thought the movie was good and did a great job in production design for a Western. The way the movie is set up, you know full well that by the time the end rolls around, you expect Wade to turn 'good' and help Evans fulfill his destiny to make Evan's son proud of him. The one negative I have with the movie is that even though it's hinted at during the movie that there is "some good left in him", there really is no justification why the sudden change of heart. Maybe guilt? Maybe is just saw something in Evans that no one else did. It doesn't diminish the movie in anyway, it's just a little peeve of mine. Definitely worth a Rent for those that like Crowe, Bale and Westerns in general. Ben Foster, Peter Fonda, Alan Tudyk, Kevin Durand, Luke Wilson and Gretchen Mol also co-star. 4 Stars out of 5. By the way, it's Ben Foster that owns this movie.

3:10 to Yuma DVD Screencaps
Westerns do nothing for me... Except the Clint Eastwood stuff... For some reason. The spaghetti's, two mules, man with no name. Traditional westerns are lost on me.
So you can imagine my high anticipation for Lone Ranger.
Speaking of, I've got a very funny post coming up about that.
Neumatic
I'm sort of the same. I think it's because the European westerns aren't tied to this romantic idea of the old west so they bring out the warts and all when they tell their stories. I think that's why I liked Django so much, because it had that same disconnect to the romantic John Ford tradition.
I also love the way those spaghetti westerns looked, there was dirt in the camera and scratches on the lens, the colours didn't always match, the actors got sunburn, and the guns sounded like cannons.
They tried to do a "Man With No Name" comic book, I picked up an issue and it looked like garbage. Which really sucks because I know there's at least ONE comic book, a french mini-series named WEST about the failed attempt to make Cuba an American State (which I do hope gets translated by Heavy Metal) that literally looks like those movies, it's astounding and impressive. If I ever do a western, it's the visual example I'm sharing with everyone.
Did you ever see "Duck, You Sucker" by any chance?
I have not seen Duck.
Agree about Django. I didn't think why I liked it until you said that.

Q: Haskell: Parse error: module header, import declaration or top-level declaration expected I am saving some commands in a Haskell script in a .hs file while working thru a Haskell textbook. Here's a small example.
fst (1,2)
snd (1,2)

When I run these commands from the prelude in GHCi, they work fine. When I try to compile the .hs file with these two lines, I get the following:
ch4_test.hs:2:1: error:
    Parse error: module header, import declaration
    or top-level declaration expected.
  |
2 | fst (1,2)
  | ^^^^^^^^^
Failed, no modules loaded.

I've googled this error and can't find any explanation what I'm doing wrong.

A: From a newbie to future newbies: The interactive environment ghci would lead you to believe that you can punch some expressions into an .hs file and run the thing (in a similar fashion to languages like swift and ruby). This is not the case.
Haskell needs an entrypoint called main. Quoting:

Here is a simple program to read and then print a character:
main :: IO ()
main =  do c <- getChar
           putChar c

The use of the name main is important: main is defined to be the entry point of a Haskell program (similar to the main function in C), and must have an IO type, usually IO ()

Source: https://www.haskell.org/tutorial/io.html

A: I am getting this error but the cause appears to be completely different from anything posted here. And the error message is not at all helpful.
Using Cabal version 3.6.2.0 with GHCI 8.10.7 on MacOS High Sierra (10.13)
I'm working from this page: https://www.tutorialspoint.com/haskell/haskell_modules.htm
specifically the "custom modules" section. There you can see the code I copied and pasted.
Besides the tutorial not mentioning I needed to add "other-modules: Custom" to myfirstapp.cabal, and besides the fact that the sample Custom.hs file includes "if x 'rem' 2 == 0" rather than "if x rem 2 == 0", here is the problem:
Indentation matters!
This line (inside the quotes) does NOT work "if x rem 2 == 0".
This line DOES work " if x rem 2 == 0"!
Indenting by one space is the difference between success and failure.
I'm totally new to Haskell. I've programmed extensively in PHP, Javascript, and Applescript, and dabbled in a dozen others, and this is the first time I've seen white space matter. I assume this is commonly known amongst Haskell veterans, but it would certainly be nice if that was included prominently in the documentation.

A: You can't just put any expression in a hs file.
As the error message says, you need a declaration here. For example:
main =
    print (fst (1,2)) >>
    print (snd (1,2))


Everyone dreams (or has real nightmares) about climbing those stairs and going into the Dragons' Den to present the business idea that will change your life.
One of the most memorable pitches ever, Levi Roots opted to sing about his Roots' Reggae Reggae Sauce. His Caribbean-inspired products and a marketing strategy based around 'putting music in your food' made his business an instant success.
Paul Cockle and his contemporary circus production business was determined to compete with industries leaders such as Cirque de Soleil. His insistence that the business could compete in the industry was criticised, but he has gone to success by breaking down the barriers between circus, dance and theatre, along the way securing clients such as the BBC and Audi.
Despite the current boom in the theatre and dance school market, Denise Hutton-Gosney saw a gap in the industry to offer exceptional and affordable singing, drama and dance lessons to children aged from 4 to 18. Students from Razzamataz have gone on to appear in West End shows such as Billy Elliot.
Married couple Neil and Laura Westwood spied a gap in the market for a lightweight and portable solution for a whiteboard. And so, the whiteboard roll was created and Magic Whiteboard has gone from strength to strength, listing a number of products including Magic Blackout Blinds.
Richard Blakesley and Chris Barnardo walked into the Den with their universal remote control that looks like a magic wand, and had all five Dragons impressed by the idea. The Kymera Magic Wand is a universal remote which allows users to control their Blu-ray player, TV or hi-fi with just a flick of the wrist. Other products from the Wand Company include Doctor Who's Sonic Screwdriver.
BoginaBag is a unique portable toilet that is both lightweight and robust. Festival goers, campers and all other outdoor types fell for the product as it provided the solution to an age-old question. Folding out as a seat, it is a toilet that is hygienic and uses no chemicals.
The Rapstrap is similar to regular nylon cable ties, but it substantially reduces the waste of plastic because one Rapstrap can be used several times. The number of cable ties used each year is estimated to be around the same number as carrier bags used, so they had provided a real alternative for people's tying needs at the office, home or garden.
This educational gadget for kids topped a lot of gadget sales lists in 2011 after Bolton entrepreneur Imran Hakim brought teddies into the 21st century. The iTeddy has a detachable personal media player built in which can play bedtime stories and cartoons and makes for a perfect Christmas or birthday gift.
Kirsty Henshaw's pitch was for a range of ice-creams free from allergens, sugar and artificial additives. Single mum Kirsty's son has a serious allergy and so she wanted to make delicious food which is suitable for food allergy sufferers, as well as for people watching their weight or sugar intake.
These DIY voodoo dolls can be personalised with your own face, or that of a friend or family member. A hit in the novelty gift market, the company has since branched out into pet dolls and superhero designs.
Do you have a business proposal that you'd dare to lay in front of the Dragons?
Hi,my name is Rita Oakes.I have already sent a letter to Hilary Devey outlining a proposition if she would fund a ghost writer,she could have 50% of what a book would make.My mother was Miss Nottinghamshire.She was private secretary to a bank manager in Slab Square in Nottingham.She hated it,saw people outside having fun,she got her coat and climbed out of the window.She joined the Communist party that met in secret in the caves under Nottingham Castle.She met my father in the Palais de Danse,he was a Polish,Battle of Britain,flying ace.He was shot down three times,the last time he was caught by the Gestapo and interrogated in the infamous Fresnes prison for seven months.He was then sent to Stalag Luft 3.The Great Escape was from that stalag.When he left the RAF he bought land in Lincolnshire.He got a Potato merchants licence,bought two lorries,loaded them with potatoes and showed my mother where Manchester was on the map,he told her to be at the Wholesale Veg market at five in the morning and sell the load of spuds.She was Britains first long distance lady lorry driver.She lied to the DVLA and I have her drivers licence as being ten years younger than she was.

The Solution has a website and under that website there's a bin folder and my question is how is that populated? I go to bin->add reference and point to the correct 64-bit files but after I build the solution several of those files are being replaced by their 32-bit counterparts. How is that possible? There's no .csproj file for the website that specifies where the files in the bin folder come from so how can I force it to get the right files? And when I change the files using references->add no changes are pended so I have no idea where it's looking to find out the source of those .dlls.

GreedFall Review — Set Sail Through a World of Fantasy
GreedFall is a massive, open-world RPG with a ton of things for you to do. However, that world is a divisive one.
by Jordan Baranowski
When you first set foot on Teer Fradee, the mysterious island at the heart of GreedFall, it's pretty impressive. While the intro of the game takes place in the "Old World," which is based on Colonial Europe, Teer Fradee opens up a land of infinite promise. After you step off the boat with your companions, who knows what you'll discover?
Exploring your new home is exactly what you'd expect from an open-world RPG like GreedFall. Boxes glow yellow if there's loot inside. Citizens give brief rebuke if you knock into them. Little hints at story elements lie in plain sight.
Suddenly, a character shouts in a language you don't understand. A question mark appears above their head. Oh yeah, it's side quest time. Welcome to GreedFall, the best and worst of the open-world genre.
Wonder by Wonder
GreedFall is first and absolutely foremost designed for people who want an open-world RPG experience. Your map is jam-packed with stuff to do almost from the get-go. Quests dot the map. Points of interest pop up as question marks. Camps, merchants, crafting benches bob against the horizon. There are little icons everywhere!
Especially early on in GreedFall, the amount of stuff you can do is a bit overwhelming. While you're still figuring out the basics of the game's controls, it's quite possible to wander into an off-limits zone and get attacked by guards — all because you're trying to follow your map.
It can certainly be a lot to take in, but as you start to get into the groove of things and figure out how GreedFall differs from other games of the same ilk, it all starts to come together.
In fact, one of GreedFall's biggest shortfalls is that it is not The Witcher or Dragon Age. Surely, it's tough to compare a lower budget game from a small studio to those genre behemoths, but since GreedFall shoots for the stars, it's worthwhile making at least a loose comparison. In many ways, though, it has a lot going for it if you're searching for another RPG in which to lose yourself.
Diamond Skies
The main thing that helps GreedFall stand out in a crowded genre is its setting and story. As mentioned at the top of this review, it's inspired by the Colonial period and the age of piracy. That doesn't mean you're sailing to Bermuda, however.
Teer Fradee is full of monsters, elves, and all sorts of interesting takes on standard fantasy tropes. The developers do an excellent job pulling you in and making you care about the world you're interacting with.
Equally, GreedFall also does a great job of making you feel like your decisions impact its world. As the Legate, you are forced to listen to several different sides and stories and proceed accordingly. There are several different factions to interact with, and each faction's opinion of you can open up new questlines and story options.
Even with all these different options, GreedFall never comes out and says, "These are the good guys, these are the bad guys." Instead, most of the people you encounter (and your own character, for the most part) exist in a sort of moral grey area. There are definitely bad people, but they are spread out all over the world. There is a sense of realism lent to the universe knowing you can navigate its complex web however you like.
Little details stand out and help the world to feel alive as well. One of the driving story points is searching for the cure for a horrible disease. Some elements of the plot take some predictable turns, but it's nice to see plague doctors, citizens in different stages of the disease, doors with big, red "X"es painted on them. It's equally that a wizened old hermit explaining the world to you isn't found at each and every turn.
You put things together on your own, which makes everything feel a little more real.
Every Turn a Surprise
The story and world-building are great, but not everything in GreedFall is as polished. The combat is just OK. It gets better as you progress and unlock more abilities, but the "Tactical Pause" option, which lets you instantly freeze combat and pick your next move, doesn't gel for me.
Maybe I never found a good key binding, but I would accidentally hit that key instead of the dodge or secondary attack button, bringing the game's action to a standstill. Some of the more complicated attack options, like GreedFall's magical abilities, make combat more interesting, but I often found that smashing through things was the most tactically sound plan.
That's not to say combat is bad. There just isn't all that much to it.
You have a few different attack buttons, depending on the weapons you're using. You can quickbind about a dozen items and abilities: health potions, spells, and the like. The tactical pause always gives you the option to take stock of what's happening around you but, otherwise, everything is happening in real-time. Especially if you want to focus on other elements of character building, combat is just a fine element of the game.
GreedFall also seems to have some technical issues regarding graphics. Turning quickly around, especially in the middle of the city, would often cause stutters and tears, and things often look great until you get close. Scenes with extended talking venture into the uncanny valley with poor lip-synching and glossy eyes, and the background blurs horribly to help make the characters look sharp when you're up close and personal.
Finally, the sheer amount of quests tend to drag because so many of them are a bit fetch-y. For example, the quest I mentioned at the top of the article regarding the merchant is nothing more than a bunch of running back and forth and back and forth for dozens of minutes.
Maybe that's how colonialism actually works: tons of bureaucracy, a lot of backtracking, and an unfair death at the end of it. But it sure isn't a lot of fun to just traipse around the world as a glorified gopher simply to pad out the length of a quest in a game that has so much more to offer its players.
Interesting setting and story
Voice acting is solid
Lots of options and ways to approach
Decisions feel like they matter
Tons to do
Quests can get drawn out
Combat isn't as streamlined as it could be
There's a lot to like in GreedFall. It ticks many of the most important boxes an RPG should. It makes you care about the characters and the world, all while giving you a sense that you can actually impact those things. Building relationships with your companions, deciding which factions you want to ally with, and changing your armor and weapons so your character looks dandy as all hell, GreedFall has all these elements covered and covered well.
However, GreedFall's limitations rear their heads frequently. It tends to be a combination of the "best and worst" of the open-world RPG genre. For some, that may be exactly what's needed, The Witcher in a new setting, with hours upon hours of new quests to run.
For others, GreedFall might not quite scratch those hard to reach itches due to its less impressive aspects.

Former Starsky and Hutch star Paul Michael Glaser warmed the director's chair for Band of the Hand. The film zeroes in on five juvenile delinquents who are plucked from their various detention facilities and unceremoniously dumped in the wilds of the Everglades. The boys begin to panic until hardcase Vietnam veteran Stephen Lang arrives. Lang explains that they've been paroled in his custody, and that it is his task to teach them how to work as a team in order to survive. The logic of this plan is to whip the boys into an elite vigilante unit, then sic them on the various drug dealers of America. The film features early performances by Lauren Holly and Larry Fishburne and Bob Dylan can be heard singing the title song.
... mainly whack, splat and kaboom, with fast cuts to a rock beat. Miami vise.
It plays like a TV pilot filled out with a few cusswords and strokes of excess violence.
If you somehow remember this one with some fondness, do yourself a favor and never see it again.
It's the closest any film of the era comes to predicting the mission-based Miami world of the recent video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
The film that made me forever think of James Remar as a bad guy. Miami Vice era cheese.
