....our local television Saturday Night Movie was “Ali” and the pacing and seemingly endless music score driven scenes in the screenplay drove my wife and I a little crazy. Turned it off after about half an hour. This is only my opinion. Read my first sentence again before hating on me please.

and vocalists of his era and I had the luck to see him perform. This is an intense, fast-paced scene of Miami's noted urban areas heightened by his song; I don't know what you're onto.

Mann did Miami Vice. Mann did Ali. You liked Miami Vice. I didn't. You think a seven minute musical interlude is fast paced. I think it isn't. I think explaining who Jarreau is is condescending, as I would be if I assumed that you did not know how to spell "jazz" and I explained it to you. I really am sorry that I responded to your post. You like the video and I shouldn't rain on your parade. I apologize.

I'll apologize again as I lost my way into the entertainment section responding to a "latest post".
