I apologize for still going, but another misrepresentation is calling the "Guest Star" spots "appearances"

Posted by: Willroast on Aug 20, 16:46 in response to Antibody's post The former SNLers were regulars for multiple seasons and...

Established actors (and musicians, politicians, authors, etc) ASKED to be on the show and young, upcoming actors definitely saw it as a huge break to get a spot. Nearly all of the actors that I listed were NOT "Gangster #1" types in the credits, but rather name (and often recurring) characters. For the most part, it was not an accident that these actors were on Miami Vice. They knew it would open doors because, even at the time, the show was considered a launching pad, not unlike Disney and SNL were/are except more for actors than for children and comedians.

While it is obvious that I am a superfan of the show, it is not because of this that I make these statements. Miami Vice was a known commodity in it's time as an unprecidented gig for actors and actresses both new and established. In this way, I believe that Miami Vice has a lot more in common with SNL and Disney than you may think.

I've beat the horse enough now I guess. Sorry about the distraction.

This is fracked up...EURO has gone from IPO to within 5 of delist in < 3 months and < 20M shares, 24th best {nm} BONDS 20 final days Aug 14, 12:13

These kind of fund managers rock and put the rest of us to shame... :) {nm} slappydavid Aug 14, 12:18

He's giving you a standard to live up to! :P {nm} DTravel Aug 14, 13:04

Meanwhile, my challenging and super fun Miami Vice Fund sits waiting for approval even though it would kill it. C'mon man! {nm} Willroast Aug 14, 22:55

I'm just saying that if finds can be as vauge and all-encompassing as Euro and African American, certainly a Miami Vice Fund would work. {nm} Willroast Aug 14, 22:57

How is Euro vague for starbonds you have to be from mainland Europe not from UK and Ireland simples blaze223 Aug 15, 07:38

Not wanting to put words in Willroasts mouth, but I think he means vague as in unrestricted not as in difficult to understand srrichardson Aug 15, 09:27

That is what I meant srrichardson. I wasn't trying to dog those funds though, just messin around. The Vice Fund would be a bit more (cont) Willroast Aug 15, 17:02

Would the fund include movies shot and or set in MIA? The problem is if you do not have a lot of movies opening, not much real motion, Buy BONDS 21 Aug 15, 21:57

If it's been 2 weeks then I doubt it will happen - you probably need to tweak your criteria srrichardson Aug 16, 00:52

That's a real shame. I think I nailed the first 2, but I suspect it may not have interested him. Too bad in my opinion because I think Willroast Aug 16, 19:09

The TV series is nealr 40 years old. How of them even have StarBonds? {nm} Antibody Aug 19, 14:08

"Guest star" is too strenuous of a connection. None can attribute their success to such an old show. {nm} Antibody Aug 19, 14:25

I think you'd be surprised. I listed 16 from just the 3rd season in my email. There are at least 50 over 5 seasons. Some from season 3- Willroast Aug 19, 17:46

The former SNLers were regulars for multiple seasons and got their acting start and fame directly as a result of SNL. Antibody Aug 20, 11:53

That was the theme. ONE show featured so many future stars. More than SNL more than Disney. It's not been done before of since. Willroast Aug 20, 15:54

I don't find EURO all-encompassing, especially with the new regs. It moves because a lot of research goes into its' buys. Big tax incentives tatoufan Aug 16, 00:38

Out of interest, how many starbonds are eligible for EURO to invest in? {nm} RogerMore Aug 16, 20:22

I haven't done a count. but there are quite a few. The problem is they don't seem to have a lot of adjust room this time around. tatoufan Aug 18, 02:10

I'm thinking more that # of Starbonds is a proxy for how many movies you can invest in. RogerMore Aug 18, 09:19

This time around EURO had a few nice, qualifying and profitable blockbusters, which helped out the fund a lot. {nm} tatoufan Aug 16, 00:32
