The Sopranos

[Dalya]

i like supernanny.

*lost*

[Rubbs]

For real. Weak my ass. Did you see that look he gave himself in the mirror. It was that freaky struggle between the light and the dark fucked up moment...distorted and all. But not weak.

[sam]

I only meant physically weak.

So Vito made it through another week? Maybe he'll live happily ever after in a tolerant, small New Hampshire town selling antiques. I doubt it.

[Rubbs]

Yeah....what a build up on vito...when he gets it...it will not be pretty.

[mere1975]

I like Tony more because he seemed pretty tolerant of the whole situation, but it's obvious that the reality is that he could never keep Vito around.

- Mere "Live Free or Die" 1975

It would be easiest for Tony to say if Vito ever comes around here again, that will be the end of him. But that won't happen. They backed off a little on Paulie's crasy. I still think he won't make it to the end of the show. I am also starting to wonder if they are building up Meadow just to lead us astray. She is learning how to launder money at her internship. At the same time, Carmella's friend Angela has got money on the street. They mentioned that women used to be more active in these affairs back when times were tough. So, are times going to get tough or will the captains put a stop to this?

[mere1975]

I think that Angela's auto and side business -- plus the failure of the spec house -- is just there to spur Carmella's interest in starting something on her own. Probably legitimate, although she has tried that route and gotten caught up in the red tape that the "real world" deals with.

I really want Christopher's movie to pick up again. That's always funny, and it's sure to cause conflict between Tony and him.

- Mere "proscuitto and melon" 1975

[Rubbs]

yall should come over at watch soon.

[Rubbs]

man....everything is falling apart. I could hardly watch the final scenes in the kitchen.

[mere1975]

What I learned from the convivial (but crazy s.o.b.) Artie Bucco:

* Sometimes, you gotta change the way you do business

* Sometimes, you gotta go back to the way your grandfather did it

I think that's what they were setting up.

Why did they end the show with the Italians flying home with the gifts they got in the "Oooo ess-ay" (U.S.) because of the weak American dollar? Is that like saying the American mafia is weak, too? I might be reading too much into it, but it was a strange scene to include at the end there.

And OMK, Christopher PUNCHED Lauren Bacall?! When he almost gave Tony the trip to Australia, I knew he'd get caught. Every scene with Sir Ben Kingsley was cringeworthy.

- Mere "I cringed a lot" 1975

[Rubbs]

Good points about the last scene. It was odd. But man the whole episode was just....well you said it best--CRINGE.

But Genius still.

[mere1975]

I also liked this line from Tony to Benny Fazio: "You don't shit where you eat. And you sure as hell don't shit where I eat."

- Mere "that actor really was Vinnie Del Pino on Doogie Houser, M.D." 1975


P.S.
Rubbs, do you watch Big love, too? We watched Sopranos when we got home from dinner, but I didn't want to stay up late to re-watch Big Love, too. I'll catch it Tuesday night maybe. I like that show; Sam's not really into it.

[Rubbs]

It took me a couple of episodes...but yeah I'm into it.

[sam]

I also liked this line from Tony to Benny Fazio: "You don't shit where you eat. And you sure as hell don't shit where I eat."

I think we repeated this one about eight times this morning at work.

[Rubbs]

You know the spree's problem?

They go around in pity for themselves.



ps...just kidding, but it's funny if your are a sopranos fan.
