Your Gay Uncle posted:Looks here, I don't gives no facebook no permission to takes ownership of my pictures This reminds me of one of my favorite scenes, the failed extortion attempt at the corporate coffee shop. Everything about that scene is perfect, from the thinly veiled threats to the two geezers getting shut down by a coffee shop manager explaining the reality of corporate power.

BiggerBoat posted:Your mind knows it's The End and provides any and all tension/anxiety. It's a pretty masterful example of subverting expectations. I didn't see the Sopranos when it was airing but I binged-watched it start to finish a few years ago, and thanks to autoplay I didn't actually realize I was watching the final episode at the time. I had known about the cut to black from the cultural zeitgeist but even when it happened I was still stunned because it really is an incredibly tense scene. Jerusalem posted:Yeah, and Carlo's position also made him the go-between for a lot of the day-to-day stuff between the Sopranos and the Lupertazzis, which is pretty huge. Is Tony dead/not dead thoughts in spoiler below because I don't remember the thread rules on that: Carlo flipping is why I'm in the Tony is dead camp, because he (Carlo) can now directly link the New York organizations to the actions of the Soprano/DiMeo family. New York just sanctioned the very ugly hit on Phil, and given that the Sopranos crew is now functionally non-existent and isn't likely to be generating big money anytime soon, they have little reason to keep Tony alive. potee fucked around with this message at 17:52 on May 15, 2020 |

PostNouveau posted:I forgot they BOTH get close enough for Tony to grab the gun. One dude watches the other guy make this mistake and then does it himself. It does underline the collective delusion these people live under - they're all untrained, undisciplined fuckups with zero foresight, yet to a man they consider and call themselves "soldiers."

Ginette Reno posted:Yeah that part has always felt hosed up to me. The FBI has no qualms about putting its informants in dangerous situations just because they're so desperate to take down the mob. And they try to justify it to themselves and those informants by saying that the informants are criminals anyways and essentially made their own beds so it's not the FBI's fault that those criminals have to be put into dangerous spots to try and get away without jail time. https://twitter.com/sopranosnocnxt/status/1093929759656923136

UNRULY_HOUSEGUEST posted:Dead on, nothing in the show has made me laugh harder than Christopher calling Vito a "fuckin' parade float" and hurling a sandwich at him Sil's reading of his letter to Christopher at the intervention is an all timer. "Your hair was in the toilet water. Disgusting."

I honestly think Sil is up there. The show did a great job of presenting him as this sort of comical, almost charmingly self-aware consigliere character, but every once in a while they'd give him a line or two to remind the audience who he was, and that he was just way more subtle about his sociopathy than people like Ralphie. Abusing and extorting dancers at the Bing, and the absolute pure evil and malice in the "loving oval office" line he gives with Adriana.

Ainsley McTree posted:The scene where Paulie's getting a drink and orders a club soda for Chris was a very sweet moment for him, I thought. Then of course in typical Paulie fashion he instantly switches to enabler mode once Chris falls off the wagon and decides to order alcohol but you can only expect so much from the guy Paulie and Chris making up the night after they kill the waiter is pretty funny: "Look at what happened last night, one of could have gotten hurt, or even killed!"

pentyne posted:It's not the houses so much as all the constant griping and moaning about money. They were the equivalent of living paycheck to paycheck with bad spending habits. Hesh talks about that in (I think) the episode where Tony upgrades his yacht. Hesh estimates Tony's net worth including the house is maybe 6 million, which like you said is pretty bad for a 20 year career as a crime boss. "In one hand, out the other."
