Sopranos
- Thread starter sufi
- Start date
don't see them as too low brow, actually I think it's one of the better bits of cinema going, certainly acting wise.
Hope this isn't too much of a spoiler, we're up to 7 I think but Vito plays a central and pretty surprising role. You better catch up though dog! It's hard to talk about the show and remember what happened 3 or 4 episodes back. Go on then and draw for the bittorrent.
That said I'm loving season 6 as well, that whole sopranos-goes-lynchian episode with Tony in a coma was SICK. Seems like a lot of people will die this season though, looks like everyone is coming apart at the seams. I am praying they don't kill off paulie walnuts or christopher moltisanti tho, they're terrific.

i'm thinking someone is going to take a shot at either the kids or the wife before the show is over.
my favorite scene -- episode 1 -- tony yelling at christopher in the car and lighting the cigarette on the wrong end.
best music moment -- third world destruction (bambatta/lydon)

i'm only up episode four,it hasnt disappointed so far...
i watched seasons 1-5 in the last few months,never having seen it beforfe...
it really is an incredible series,the quality control is amazing considering theres been 50 odd episodes,almost all of which were perfectly acted,scripted,and filmed...
i dont think there's any chance of christopher being killed off,he's too central to everything-in my opinion he's also the best actor in the whole show...

yeah co-sign on christopher, he's terrific.
And I also ignored the show while the hype raged and came to it afterwards. I have to agree though that this is some of the finest actor oriented film making that's been around in a while. It's very subtle and well done. But goddamn it ppl, get up to speed! There are some very strange developments in recent episodes that I am dying to discuss. I should make a Sporanos (spoilers) thread.

rank hypocrisy i think (that post was a while back) cheating on his wife & kids...
it was a good plot in the end with some contrasts that revealed how much vito stitched himself up & what a nasty peice of work he was so much that he couldn't pursue either side of his double life effectively
<spoiler if you still catching s6 repeats in the UK!>>> grisly end for vito tho
why you ask why?

just seemed a bit harsh to be hoping for a homophobic murder!
obviously he was a nasty piece of work (aren't they all?), but again, like all (or many) of the characters he was also shown as a loving father, and i ended up pitying him a lot in that story line abuot him and the biker etc, it must be awful being gay in such an intensely anti-gay community, having to pretend you're not etc etc. i liked the fact that tony tried to save him as well, i was hoping it would work out for vito...

Anybody see the final episode? Not to spoil it for anyone, the last episode took a beating in the press, but I thought it was incredible, perhaps the only way the series could have ended.
And someone should get an emmy for "Best Use of a Record by Journey".

I was fuming for about 10 minutes, but then i calmed down and realised it was genius. And i agree that this was probably the best possible ending (though my personal favourite
LOOK AWAY NOW - SPOILER ALERT - LOOK AWAY NOW - would have had him going into the programme).

That's a very good piece. But I've got to tkae issue with this:
Hollywood's is still the most goodie/baddie movie culture in the west.
