Literally who?
frick off zoomer
lmao so you're telling me he sold out?
I never thought The Wire would get the best spin-off series
Sons of Anarchy too
The Wire has a spin-off????
he thinks of We Own This City, which is made by Simon, stars a bunch of Wire actors and is set in Baltimore, but has nothing to the with the story of The Wire
Is this any good? Like season s1 the wire good?
Not that good, but it's not bad either, I'd recommend it to anyone who liked The Wire. Unfortunately Jon Bernetal is one of the main characters and his acting is atrocious, he is the epitome of that "I'M ACTING" meme
Does Treme have any connections to the Wire? Feel like I remember reading that it did.
The tumpet player was Bunk from the wire who seeing the fruitlessness of his job decided to pursue his passion for street music down in New Orleans.
Is Treme worth a watch?
He originally wanted to make a movie solely about the Newark riots but HBO made him shoehorn in sopranos crap. They probably wanted to make a sopranos universe but the movie flopped, thank god
Many Saints was a huge hit on HBOmax and they gave David Chase an overall deal
Haven't seen the movie. What made it so bad?
First hour was a complete waste of time, it's mostly about how dickie moltasanti gets cucked by an incredibly suave and deadly black bookie, the bookie that was Tony's first kill but this isn't in the movie.
As a standalone period crime movie it's whatever, not something people would have talked about or been that interested in, watch No Sudden Move which was released at about the same time and is actually good.
As a sopranos movie featuring featuring young jun and johnny soprano and paulie just at the period of time where tony would have been getting into that life it's a complete and utter disappointment.
Cry moar
that ending scene was kino tho, literally the only scene ive watched
If you watch the film you'll realize the final shot is a fricking joke
it got made when HBO decided to go full woke and moronic. why do you think the watchmen series was like that?
Watchmen was good.
terrible bait, not even worth the (you)
Funny
It makes me happy that the leftoid "tulsa race massacre" propaganda push flopped horribly.
Oh it was buddy, watchmen was fricking black supremacist garbage
the most scumbag part about this whole movie was how all the trailers and hype was centered around James Gandolfini's son's portrayal of Tony... only for the actual film to only feature literally 30min of screentime from him
and the kid can't even imitate his father's iconic italian accent right. I cringe every time I hear him speak. Ray Liotta was complete trash as well (not surprising seeing as he was already halfway dead from crack overdose at that point).
He barely wrote any of the episodes. He's an ideas man at best
i wanted to see a young teenage tony. instead, i got BLM. it's 2022. don't i see enough BLM? why would i want that in a film?
it makes me realize italians are black. 'cause nobody but italians care so much for black causes. moor rape babies, the lot of them.
real sopranos homies didn't even watch this
Terrence Winter, Matthew Weiner, and Gandolfini are the geniuses behind the Sopranos. Chase got carried
he should've wrote the script while letting Scorsese direct the movie, replacing The Irishman and featuring Joe Pesci, De Niro and Al Pacino as the central characters along with young Tony and the young Jersey crew in a 3-hour long come-up story.
It would've been the ultimate italian mafiakino in film/tv history, seeing Scorsese's cinema in The Sopranos universe.....
but instead he decided he wanted to try and pull off "The Wire" without understanding the nuance that show had and made a shitty BLM masturbatory piece instead.
Sad really. David Chase was universally considered to be one of the TV greats along with Lynch, Simon and Gilligan. Not anymore.
Scorsese never liked the sopranos, chances are he wouldn’t do it
Nope, he said he couldn't identify with the modern day setting and 2000s' mobsters (pic related).
Saints of Newark is set in the golden age of the Mafia where Scorsese is most comfortable with. He probably would be on board with the idea if Chase went to him.
So was Scorsese surrounded by mobsters growing up? Like not saying his family was in it, but that they were a fixture of the community where everyone knew each other so he's getting all first hand accounts of what these guys were like
I think what he means is that the mafia was an actual public presence when he was growing up. Names like Gambino, Frank Costello, and and Luciano were actual well known figures. Mafia was irrelevant when the 00s came along
should've written*
for me it was the Chantix Angel as Hollywood Dick
I watched it like a week ago and he looked awful in this, had i seen it earlier i wouldn't have been surprised to hear he died a little later.
He reminded me of some scifi horror creature though i can't place exactly what.
>I watched it like a week ago and he looked awful in this
to be fair he kinda always did look pretty rough, I thought he looked terrible in Revolver, part of me wanted to lick that pockmarked face tho
liotta always looked terrible, just like his acting
>to be fair he kinda always did look pretty rough
True, i guess he also looked gaunt but in a weird way in addition to his usual roughness.
He looks good as prison uncle though, he intentionally lost frick ton of weight to differentiate between hollywood dickie
It's Because of buckwheat
it's 2020, and all i'm bombarded with is BLM. i can't turn on the news without BLM. and now david chase wants me to watch a movie with even more BLM? sorry. i love the sopranos. but i had too much Black fatigue
Has he even done anything outside of Sopranos?
>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WHY ISN'T HE HAS LE BASED AND REDPILLED AS ME ITS NOT FAIR ITS NOT FAIR ITS NOT FAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You're acting more schizo than the people you're mocking
basically they waited until the last ww2 vet was dead and then unleashed the bolshevik revolution, after they bankrupted the west on failed wars in the middle east
I finished Sopranos, started this and as soon as I saw the black actor, I turned it off. It's all so tiresome. I am not going to be pandered to for 2 whole hours about WOW NOT ALL BLACKS ARE CRACKHEADS WOW
the scenes with Livia and young AJ were the best parts of the movie, but ironically the least necessary for a prequel. All of the "unanswered" plot points about Dickie were moronic and muddied by the Black person love.
Did he only have black buddies because of drug addiction or what ?
He wasn't a drug addict
He used blacks in the same way all the other Italian mobsters did: as errand boys
Man, I just remembered Italy has a lot of black people now.
no, i don't remember if it was mentioned in the movie but interviews with the actor is that Dickie wasn't racist with him because he grew up with the guy. He only plays up the racism when he's around the crew.
>Cinemaphile status: filtered
why did they have teenage tony meeting baby chris when chris was only supposed to be about 10 years younger than him? a petty niggle i'll admit
>DONT STOP-
What was Cinemaphile's reaction to this scene? Any oldgays remember?
most anons knew tony got whacked in the episode and blamed it on the 2 black dudes (as usual)
mom stood up and looked like she wanted to punch our plasma tv and dad and i were laughing at her
Where was Tony B in the movie? Him and Tony were supposedly close as brothers growing up. His absence makes him feel like an even more shoehorned character than he already was, it’s bad enough there’s no mention or hint of him before s5
Timeline got fricked up.
>No Tony B
>No Jackie Aprille or Ralph
>Sil is depicted as being +20 years older than Tony, and is bald for some reason.
And once again, in a story about the DeMeo crime family, there are no fricking DeMeos!
>Who Made Tony Soprano
>tony's barely even in it
I'm starting to become convinced that David Chase is a hack after this movie and that he was carried by more talented people when The Sopranos was airing. Just like how George Lucas was carried by talented people with Star Wars and how, and Allah please please please please PLEASE forgive me for even uttering his despicable name, P*t*r H*cks*n was carried by far more talented people for The Lord of the Rings.
paki maybe a basterd but u are correct on all counts my friend go frick yourself
Before the movie you gays were whining about how the trailers focused too much on Tony and hoped the movie wouldn’t center on him. Now you’re mad that it wasn’t all about him
>Be David Chase
>Make a movie
>it filters normies
>it filters zoomies
>they're still actively seething about it months later
>David Chase
>Godfather of modern day television
Lmao
I'd say it was both him and Lynch both that paved the way for modern television.
Lynch took a more complex, thematic approach focused on plot and storytelling
Chase on the other hand took more of a visceral, grounded approach focused more on the characters and their arcs.
Without Twin Peaks, modern day classics like Lost, The Wire or Mr Robot wouldn't exist.
Without Tony Soprano, iconic modern day complex anti-hero MCs like Walter White, Dexter, Donald Draper or Frank Underwood wouldn't exist.
>modern classics
>Mr Robot

reddit piece of shit
always a sign of a hack when they make a prequel
