Yeah this one just made my day. Both nice panels. Never saw this...

By any chance does anyone have flicks (or even got to see running) that Miami Vice car that these guys did that had a write up in the paper? I know it was unfinished, but would be cool to see.

the #s got more play because generally, there were more pieces on the numbers, especially between the late 70s and early 80s. also tho, because thats where Henry & Martha were shooting. so to some degree, they set the tone for what got documented. no disrespect to Henry or Martha, they did a profound job of documenting subway graffiti during that period. but i believe there are still lots of letter line photos out there in peoples personal collections that have not been seen. i know that for a fact.

Also the numbers ran more north - south above ground which allowed for better light.

Tonight at 9, ABC is offering a television movie about young people that seems to have had difficulty settling on a title. Past candidates have included ''Children of the Streets'' and ''So Young, So Deadly.'' Opting for a less sensational tack, the producers have decided to go with ''Dreams Don't Die.'' The hero is Danny (Ike Eisenmann), a 17-year-old subway graffiti painter of, we are assured, extraordinary raw talent. He is in love with Theresa (Trini Alvarado), a 15-year-old who has been brought up in foster homes and who longs to move up and out of their poor Brooklyn neighborhood.

 

Along comes a young punk named Captain Kirk (Israel Juarbe), who rides around town in one of those elongated chauffered limousines. Kirk works for a big drug dealer (James Broderick) and manages to convince Theresa that she can make a lot of money delivering his goods. The point is that she is still not 16 and therefore not subject to the stiff penalties of the new drug laws. Meanwhile, Danny is befriended by a caring policeman (Paul Winfield) and, after making his very first trip to Manhattan and visiting the Guggenheim Museum, begins to realize that a paying career as a commercial artist might be preferable to defacing public property.

 

Complete with Danny's long-suffering mother (Judi West), who works in a sweatshop to support her family, this is a shamelessly calculating morality tale, designed for young audiences needing to be reassured that the good guys really do win. In the end, the villains are begging for mercy and the two young lovers are catching a train to a new and brighter life, passing under a sign that reads: ''It's your subway, Please help us keep it clean.''

 

lo lol lol what a writeup
