Cocaine Cowboys 3: Welcome to San Diego University...

If its half as good as weeds... I will watch it religiously.

@ monkeymafia

orly? ;)

They need to just finish off Deadwood and Carnivale properly.

wasnt mark whalberg doing a film version of cocain cowboys ?

Fuck that! Michael Bay?? When did HBO sank so low..

HBO must take on The Song of Ice and Fire.. What's up with that deal?

And the Preacher..

And of course, finish off Deadwood and Carnivale (which will never happen of course)..

You mean the same Preacher that Mark Steven Johnson is suppoed to do for HBO?

That shit-dick is going to ruin that comic like he did Ghost Rider.

I could never get into Deadwood. All of the tough guys on that show seemed like pansies to me when they should have made Tony Soprano look like Chef Boyardee.

Deadwood is great. That show is such a dirty, un-hollywood look into the wild west.

Stop being a cunt, Hunter ;)

@ CA

See, it still felt "Hollywood" to me, in terms of male posturing, with a lot of "cunts" thrown in because it aired on HBO. I liked Carradine's Wild Bill, but that was a short run. I'd say The Proposition was a "dirtier, un-hollywood look into the wild west," albeit set in the outback. Deadwood was in no way definitive of the Wild West like the Sopranos to the mafia, as some DW fans claim. But it's dead, so who cares. Happy joy. ;)

The Proposition was great and I agree. But I think Deadwood did well with its setting.

For the most part they did keep the language as is, especially during that era. Well I didn't mean it defined what the Wild West was like. But they did do their best to keep the general "education" of the area about the same.

It's probably why I hated Rome. That felt more like Rome 90210 to me than anything else.

If it's on Par with Breaking Bad, I'll be addicted!

Great! Another Hollywood movie glamorizing drugs!!!!

Yep, how totally clever.

The sequel to Cocaine Cowboys, Cocaine Cowboys 2: Hustlin With The Godmother, is about to premiere at Cinevegas June 20, 2008. Checkout www.charlescosby.com/rapsheet for up-to-the-minute info.

Look, Cocaine Cowboys was lame, all in all. Very lame. It could easily have been a Spike TV late-night afterthought. There is no way HBO will throw any sort of money at a series like this. Especially not in this economy. I will admit that Miami has had so few standouts in the TV/Film genre that someone like Billy Corben seems good, but any decent exec, let alone HBO dedicating an uninterrupted hour, will step back from the hype and call out this crap for what it is... a Crockumentary edited MTV-style.

If they do actually plan to pick something like this up then they'll have to come stronger than this perpetually gay documentary bulliiishhhh. I already know mofos in Miami that scoff at these yuppie ass and lay low just waiting to humble them. Shiittt the BangBros clan have long been more than these guys will ever be. None of those chubby losers from that movie and no one from Miami to the Bronx is real, let alone in the league of the people I keep off the record. Miami has so much more that is real and makes more of a genuine impact... no dated footage neccessary. Shit is real. People that don't use internets or cell phones. People interested in becoming ghetto-famous for leveling some pretenders. People that currently own the same items that some NBA or MLB or NFL player used to own... until they messed up. People that don't turn bitch and pop off when heat starts to swelter. Somehow this group has become the mouthpiece of thousands of could-have-beens-should-have-beens-never-will-bes with creative dreams/goals. Yet they don't hold a candle to most of what Miami is about. For all of the hype they are just an MTV-styled editing that gets to live under the guise of being someone significant in MIA because no one else in this city has stepped up beyond a few cable sitcoms and Uni. Everyone at Full Sail just laughs about it.

I love that this discussion about an alleged Bruckheimer/Bay adaptation of Cocaine Cowboys into a dramatic series for HBO digressed so smoothly into laments about Deadwood and Carnivale...you are definitely my people. And not that I wouldn't love to chime in on how unjust the dual Deadwood/Carnivale shit-canning was, I have to bring this exchange back to topic.

On behalf of all fans of HBO dramatic series, NO F***ING WAY Msrs. Bay and Bruckheimer... You two simply lack or lost if you ever had it in the first place an appreciation for characters, character development, characterization, dramatic irony, subtext, situational irony, visual storytelling...am I making sense? Msrs. Bay and Bruckheimer are good at three things: stories that revolve around machines, explosions, and exploding machines. And they're fairly codependent on the music of Hans Zimmer which never fails to arouse excitement in the audience and convinces them for that moment that the movie is pretty fuckin' sweet which we always decide before we even get home from the theatre that it is not.

Don't do Cocaine Cowboys, sirs. You will fail and never recover from the experience. Let some Latin Americans do it. Give to Salma. Give it to Cuaron or Del Toro. Or even Rodriguez, shit... Besides wouldn't you rather be working on the much anticipated *vomiting* Transformers sequel? I'm not but nine-year olds most likely are...even though they're not because they, unlike you, can actually recognize a compelling story so my guess is they're waiting on Harry Potter. But don't let that discourage you. Just remember to include the Dinobots in the next Transformers blockbusting Summer tripe that you make...

...you hacks. Stay away from HBO. And HBO--stay away from them.
