I still maintain that suitcase argument is utterly brilliant - it's exactly how two young College Students from wealthy, privileged backgrounds would be likely to act in a relationship. It's perfect. Especially the way the argument goes from,"We're educated, bright and articulate, we're not children anymore and we can identify the root causes of our issues and come to a logical conclusion.... LET'S GET MARRIED!  "

Now that I think of it, do we ever find out what that Ojibwe saying on the wall in Tony's hospital room was all about, or who put it up there?

"Funhouse" was on yesterday and I got to thinking: did they really whack Pussy on some random guys boat that Tony took out for a test drive? What about bloodstains, etc.?

They had Paulie with them.  (Clean Freak)It doesn't make sense to me to shoot a gun at the bottom level of the boat. But it's better some random boat that gets test driven a lot by different people than the Stugots. Blood happens, say a nosebleed or whatever, the owner wouldn't know that it belonged to a missing mobster. The problem would be bullet holes if they missed or penetrated through Pussy's large body, Tony shoulda strangled him instead like he did in "College." Worst case I guess the boat could be reported stolen and then destroyed, but that's a lot of extra work. Let's just chalk it up to these guys not being as careful as they should.

I was watching Manhattan Murder Mystery, which to my surprise had not one but two different Sopranos actors: Jerry Adler, aka Hesh, as the suspect of the mystery, but also Aida Turturro (Janice) in a dialogue-free bit part as an apartment janitor or superintendent or whatever the gently caress. Anyway, early in season 6 now, and I just got past the Kevin Finnerty episodes. The first time around, those episodes really grated on me, but here they were a lot more tolerable, even enjoyable. Especially the final sequence with Buscemi greeting Tony at the mansion. It didn't hurt that I remembered them taking up a much bigger chunk of the season, instead of just two episodes. But now I'm on the verge of the Johnnycakes poo poo, which I'm less optimistic about enjoying any more.

"Luxury Lounge" has a (reasonably deserved) iffy reputation but oh my god I forgot about Phil's speech at the beginning of the episode. They're at a dinner for a couple of new made guys, and he starts in: "In light of recent embarrassments, it's an honor be joined by men...AND NOT human being-rear end CORN-HOLING COCKSUCKERS LIKE MARRIED MY COUSIN. HE SHOULD FUCKIN' DIE!"

I've been on a Law & Order marathon lately and it's hilarious how many Sopranos cast members show up on the show. The most well known being Michael Imperoli doing a guest stint as a detective, but there've been others. Off the top of my head... Junior as a judge and a lawyer Artie as a suspected kidnapper/murderer Carmella as a legal aid lawyer Janice had several appearances. Phil as a creepy strip club owner. Hesh as a judge. Gigi (the guy who died on the toilet) was Profaci, who was a fill-in cop whenever one was needed. Bobby, Patsy, Pussy and Assemblyman Zellman all appeared as well, but I can't remember what their specific roles were. I know it's not unusual that these actors all appeared on shows that were based in New York/Jersey, but it's funny seeing Artie running from the cops and getting arrested or Junior presiding over a murder case.

Jerusalem posted:Random memory of the show just hit me, there's a scene early in the series where Christopher is typing on a laptop near Tony. Tony glares at the laptop and says,"Close that thing, I don't trust those... whatcha call em? Cookies." I think that's in Season 1 or 2. Gigi was on a laptop and Tony says, "Log off, I don't trust that cookie poo poo".

Since this thread has been brought back from the dead, here are two of my favorite moments from the series: -Patsy showing up drunk (and armed) at Tony's house in "Mr. Ruggerio's Neighborhood". I especially love the reactions of the FBI agents who don't know whether to just sit back and watch the attempted assassination or take Patsy down and blow their cover ("He's loving drunk!"). Even though he couldn't work up the courage to shoot the boss, Patsy still takes a piss in his pool. -In the episode "The Legend of Tennessee Moltisanti", Tony finds out indictments might be coming down so he orders everyone to do some house cleaning leading to this exchange with Carmela: Tony: All right. You'd better give me your jewelry. [Carmela sighs] Tony: Hey, they know we can't produce receipts. You want 'em stealing this stuff from us? [after Carmela removes her necklace, Tony points to her diamond ring and Carmela balks] Tony: Come on. Carmela: I'm not giving you my engagement ring. This isn't stolen! Carmela: Is it? Tony: No! [beat] Tony: What do you think I am? The "Oh gently caress, I better lie here" look that Tony has on his face is priceless. haljordan fucked around with this message at 22:48 on Dec 28, 2011 |

One of the best lines ever, from "D-Girl": Meadow: Madame de Stael said: In life one must choose between boredom and suffering. (Long pause as Tony and Carm gape at her). Tony: Go to your room.

I got Season 2 for Christmas so I've been going back through the early episodes. It's always a (pleasant) surprise to be reminded of just what an amazingly hateful, manipulative person Livia was. Watching the wheels turn in her head when she figures out what Janice is up to and putting the idea of the money into the back of her mind was a joy to watch. Also I love the Italy episode, watching how Tony, Paulie and Christopher deal with being in the "old country" in their respective ways is great. Paulie trying to make small-talk with the prostitute and find a shared history is simultaneously hilarious and utterly depressing. Tony drinking in the history and the strong family bonds is great too, especially considering the horrible poo poo Carmela is going through back in America as she projects her own fears onto Pussy's wife. Meanwhile Christopher is stoned out of his goddamn mind insisting that he's definitely going to go see that mountain for sure, absolutely.... definitely gonna happen.... tomorrow maybe......

I forgot all about how he storms in to see the priest, complaining that he thought he purchased "protection" from going to hell. Also when he is gets it into his head that Christopher just saw purgatory and he'll "only" be there for a million years or so and he can do that standing on his head. I can't tell you how happy I am that in the final episode the last we see of Paulie is him and the cat he is convinced is possessed by Christopher's ghost sunning themselves.

Obviously, the show goes a long way to try and paint Tony as a sympathetic figure but there are times when nothing can cover up what a cold-hearted sonofabitch he is. For example, when his high school buddy Davey (played by Robert Patrick!) loses $40,000 at the high-stakes poker game. Tony runs a "bust out" on the guy's store, running up huge bills on the store's credit and selling the merchandise out of the trunks of cars for half price. The guy winds up sleeping in his own sporting goods store and he and Tony have a late night chat: Davey: "You told me not to get in the game. Why'd you let me do it?" Tony: "Well, I knew you had this business here, Davey. It's my nature. The frog and the scorpion, you know? Besides, if you would've won I'd be the one crying the blues, right?" Davey: "What's the end?" Tony: "The end... It's planned bankruptcy." Davey starts crying. Tony: "Hey, you're not the first guy to get busted out. This is how a guy like me makes his living. This is my bread and butter." What a great scene. Of course, the worst part was when Davey took his son's car away from him for "off roading" so he could sell it to Tony to knock down his debt. And then Tony gives the car to Meadow, who is singing a duet with the kid at a school concert. Awkkkkwaaaard. haljordan fucked around with this message at 15:48 on Jan 10, 2012 |

What really got to me about the bit you spoilered though is that Tony is delighted with Davey for "doing the right thing" and gets so infuriated with Meadow for being justifiably upset that he lays out on the line for her that EVERYTHING they have is a result of what he does and if she wants to sit on her high horse about it she can go do it in a homeless shelter.

Saw this thread pop back up again so I thought I'd jump in and post. I had ice cream the other night at Holsten's where the final scene was shot. http://www.holstens.com/ I didn't realize that it was just one town over. They did a ton of filming around North Jersey and it was always fun to try to identify the places in all the scenes.
