I was rewatching "Calling All Cars" the other night and gf happened to walk in on the dream sequence (Livia? I think Jerusalem's right) near the end. She was rapt. I gotta convince her to watch the rest of the show some time. When Tony woke up, I heard her say "Wow. It was just a dream." Yeah, babe. "Just" a dream.

Got up to The Pine Barrens episode of Talkin Sopranos if anyone's interested. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IANV17RMfqI I know it's a huge fan favorite and I don't like it as much as most but the podcast was good. Buscemi is on it, they do a funny bit on Paulie's wings and there's a lot of cool insight on what I know is a really popular episode that's widely considered a classic. I'm enjoying these dudes and think I have man crush on Michael Imperiolli. He just seems so smart and charming. Pet peeve though because god drat: if one of their main sponsors is Bose maybe work out the loving audio after 36 podcasts. It's better than it was but still sounds like poo poo and the volume is still too low.

I'm not sure if that prequel will be any good or not but I am sure it will at the least give me a lot of new Sopranos quotes to poison my brain with.

It’s a little disturbing how much that woman reminds me of my ex-wife. In other news, is there a greater “gently caress you” moment than Angie declaring that she bought a brand new Corvette Z06 outright with cash when Carmela is trying to show off the Porsche Cayenne (like the pepper) that Tony bought her?

Forgot all about The Saints of Newark. I guess HBO Max seems like the move but did they ever even wrap? And The Irishman owned so I don't know WTF there.

The Irishman was good but I did a double-take when I realized those scenes from near the start where DeNiro meets Pesci, he was supposed to be like in his late 20s/early 30s.

It's such a bizarre oversight, they put all this money and effort into de-aging DeNiro with CGI and then they just pasted that on his 75 year old body and expected him to do physical acting like a 20 year old.

Definitely agree with this though. A lot of the de-aging didn't work at all and that curb stomp was ridiculous.

See I love mob movies, I dont watch them all that much especially now that I've spent the last 4 years with someone who only likes garbage cinema, but I didn't get this feel from the movie at all. Its what I was looking forward to.

I love mob movies too and thought The Irishman was a pretty damned good one.

The whole movie wreaks of vanity. I clawed my way through The Irishman and then would constantly have to defend my position that it might have been a decent mob movie if they had used different actors. It was more absurd than when they brought back Connery to play a 53 year old James Bond. Also Frank Sheeran was full of poo poo.

Even if when I saw that beating scene I laughed my rear end off because of how it looked. Just go watch the movie starting after Hoffa's gone and see the beauty of it, when they weren't de-aging them anymore and probably adding age with make-up. That's when its really great.

Its what I was looking forward to. I will say that it was pretty slow in the middle. It doesn't help that the story's been done several times in the last couple decades (at least the backdrop). I think what made it stand out from other mob movies was how much bleaker it was. Everyone looked like they got made up in a morgue. The killings were brief and ugly, not like Billy Batts getting stomped for being a goofus prick. Death was just there in every scene. That said, yeah, I'm not ranking it up there with the best of them. But you do like to see all those great actors in one place. Gaius Marius posted:Diamonds and Never say Never Connery were still a hell of a lot better than A View to a Kill Moore. Dude looked like a he'd get winded on a short stroll to the cornermart, and then they pair him with a girl young enough to be his Daughter. Moore had a sense of humor about that, though. His reaction every time they'd rehire him was basically "really? I thought they'd be sick of me by now". I mean, you're not going to turn down a role that nets you that much cash while getting to hang around cool sets and then you kiss the babe while your stunt triplets do all the work for you.

Yeah, I have to agree that spending millions to de-age DeNiro's face but not putting it on a younger man's body was incredibly stupid. I was already bored out of my mind, and it certainly didn't help that I was watching a septuagenarian shuffling around with an oddly young head.
