Your dad buys The Beekeeper, Mr Nobody, Expendables 4 and the latest Liam Neeson dreck on bly-ray at full price in his local supermarket then falls asleep watching them at home.
>Buys
We do share a Netflix sub but I torrent most movies for me and my dad. He rewatched Mr Nobody and the Patriot a lot then israeliteflix removed them so of course I downloaded it for him.
that series and cast was wasted. it was supposed to be a throwback to the 80's with charismatic action stars chewing the scenery, and instead stallone made it into ultra serious, unfunny shit.
70 year olds don’t move that fast, nor could they take a savage beating from a methed up wetback.
The biggest problem is they don't even try to portray Mike as keeping in shape. We're just supposed to believe that because he was a cop and a soldier that he is just tough forever even though his actor is a manlet that obviously has arthritis in every joint and can't even walk without waddling. All you had to do was throw in the occasional scene of Mike lifting weights, working a heavy bag, running etc. FFS they never even show him at a range keeping his firearms skills sharp. All we ever see is Mike do housework, eat sandwiches, and drink beer, yet we're supposed to believe he's an operator able to akido men a quarter his age and hit a one inch grouping a kilometre away because 40 years ago he was in the army for 3 years and worked as a beat cop for 10 years 20 years ago (nevermind cops are some of the most out of shape security forces out there).
His toughness and skill is totally unearned. In reality Mike would've lost all his skills through atrophy years ago and his totally sedentary lifestyle and alcoholism would have him on par physically with an 75 year old.
You fricking zoomers are moronic
It’s mafioso guys and dudes in serious organized crime are old fricks.
They don’t “fight” they don’t stay in shape. The whole point is that they are ruthless and they’ll fricking kill you when a normal person is still thinking about avoiding violence.
That’s the whole thing. And clearly none of you little gay twinks have ever been in a fight since 90% of the time it isn’t the “stronger” guy that wins it’s the guy that’s a little crazier and doesn’t give a frick because in real life almost nobody knows how to actually fight

In BB it was tolerable because he only intimidates cowardly dweebs like Walter and Saul and his strengths were more to do with street smarts and his methodical nature; it also helped that the actor was younger, but in BCS he became a completely ridiculous boomer comic book character
In BB he started out as just a PI and even throughout his flanderization to meth mercenary he remained pretty much non-active. Mostly surveillance and stealth missions.
My biggest problem with his character in BCS was how he just could get infinity “solid” mercenaries despite arriving in ABQ only a few months ago. Like they spent a whole season arc trying to keep the German architects in the dark but all their handlers were “solid” and could be trusted with full access to the entire operation.
This scene was so shit, my god. I get Tony doing something like that because he's an butthole, but the waiter thanking him was just comical. Things that would literally never happen, some wagie waiter caring if a guy wore a hat in a restaurant.
Probably. If they wanted to pull off this scene, they should have just done it at Artie's restaurant. Obviously Artie thanking Tony would be fine. The waiter is really my issue with the scene, most of the Sopranos leaves the audience to decide whether what he did was right or wrong. Most people can't relate to the scene at all, because they either don't go to fancy restaurants or even if they did they could easily ignore some guy with a hat on. The waiter seemed like he was there to tell you how to feel about it.
I'm a waiter and would be silently disgusted to see a cap in my restaurant. Your workplace is your second home and you should respect it and expect the same from visitors in YOUR space.

Trust me normies do care about hats in restaurants a lot especially during the 90s and 2000s, to be honest if you're in a higher end place it is pretty ridiculous to wear something like that to dinner, it's le heckin disrespectful to everyone
How could boomers have responsibility for the actions of Gen-x, when they 0-25, and still have it for Gen-z when they were 50+? Who ceded them responsibility for society at such a young age?
Yeah boomers tried to install a lot of weird etiquette hang ups in Gen X and Y but just gave up completely on Gen Z
I agree that hats shouldn't be worn in nicer restaurants but tony telling the guy threateningly to take it off is a complete power fantasy, probably was one of Chase's pet peeves
This one was one of the less offensive ones really. Mike caught him off guard, Trevor was wienery and wasn't ever going to pull the trigger anyway so it's not a true self-defense moment. There's a lot of capeshit with Mike but this isn't one of them.
>ACHshully it’s slow paced and filters people
The stupid writers read the le slow burn meme and really fricked the last few episodes after the mid season S6 break. there were a couple times in the Mesa Verde arc where it slowed down too much but usually you got some Mike stuff to balance it out. The Lalo episodes, for as hit or miss the plot was, were perfect pacing imo.
Originally it was done by demographers and social scientists to explain macro trends in politics, culture, economics etc
The Strauss-Howe theory proved to have some validity as the decades bore on so marketers glommed on to try to use it to make money.
What you’ve seen is now a flood of books and “micro generations” every couple of years by marketers and advertisers to try to capitalize on the newest trend and next traunch of 22 year olds who buy shot which has resulted in people thinking that zoomers started being born in 1996 and some new generation was born in 2010 and that’s all crap.
Generations by their very nature are meant to be large 20-25 year periods of time and using them for anything on an individual level or to explain specific events is foolish. They only matter when you are looking as decades long shared experience, money habits, political habits, etc etc
He was confident in that situation because he had done opposition research on Nacho and knew he wanted to keep the transaction on the down low because he was doing it under Tuco's nose.
But guys in their 40’s and 50’s were boomers in 2000. Since sopranos isn’t a period piece it’s actually a pretty good snapshot of how people actually were in the late 90s and early 00’s.
But they are mobsters so yeah it’s kind of a power fantasy cause everyone likes mobsters being cool
It’s probably pretty accurate to how the mob works minus about 70% or the killings they do but there for the shows entertainment value.
Most monsters it’s all threats a skimming off the top and racket money and stealing shit from job sites etc
I work with a guy who used to be like a side hustle guy for the mafia in the nearest big city around that time. His personal stories of what he did are mostly just being around to get guys who owed money to get scared. He said the biggest threat typically was to call the wife and tell her her husband owed. Actual violence was basically verboten for 99% of it. His stories of what happened to people when he was a little kid are a lot more like what people expect from the movies.
This scene was up to Pollos standards.
So what would their 2020's, minimalist logo have looked like?
nah, this is
>Euphoria 3.0 tech demo

Senile rageboost
More like heavy intoxication

I never even see older slavic men in my vlogs, its all babushkas, I figured the men are all long dead
That's just Russia, not Slavs in general.
>The Irishman de Niro kick while he's on the ground
Kawaii
>that first hit where they recoil off each other
the shockwave blast from their hit to each other was strong, the potato cam just couldn't capture it
>The unstoppable object meets the immovable force
The scene where the black guys try to attack him when he's walking home is a lot worse.
>Black guys
You're forgetting the funniest part, it wasn't just black guys it was an extremely diverse group of thugs
There's so much money in boomercore slop.

AYO SQUEEZE IT homie
I had no idea zoomers were such whiny b***h-ass shitposters
They hate their parents and grandparents so much that the sight of old people in any kind of media sends them into a fit of autistic rage.
Maybe everybody just hates you?
shut up homosexual cry more about student loans little b***h
If you keep having meltdowns like that you're gonna go bald even faster
zoomers already start balding heavily in their early 20s KEK

Was the waiter Italian? Maybe they bonded for a second because they had to civilize some goy
Probably. If they wanted to pull off this scene, they should have just done it at Artie's restaurant. Obviously Artie thanking Tony would be fine.

I miss /bcs/ so fricking much...
Is it worth watching? I have been faking it with BB this whole time here(never saw a single episode)
yes it's worth watching but just know its completely different than breaking bad and slower paced.
I can hang, also that must filter 99% of zoomers
I imagine it does especially when it comes to the lawyer stuff.

What's your cutoff for boomers?
Because John Wick is like 50.
Boomers should be in their mid 60's at youngest.
Depending on which sources you use the youngest boomers are somewhere between 61 and 65 right now the oldest are about 81 or there abouts
Real super old dudes ~80-100 are silent generation. Anyone over 100 is a GI/greatest
Most people place Gen. X as being born in the early 60’s to the early 80’s
Millennials are early 80s to on or around 2000
Zoomers are ayone born after 2000ish (again give it take it almost is better not to set hard year boundaries tbh)
And “gen alpha” starts being born maybe during the pandemic? Maybe just now or even yet.. we don’t know until we have the power of hindsight
Events and trends define generations bur generations define events and trends so it’s sort of reveals itself over time
Generation titles are just a way for ~~*capital*~~ to focus its marketing. Any normal person should ignore that bullshit.
Originally it was done by demographers and social scientists to explain macro trends in politics, culture, economics etc

How would Mike take a gun from him if a situation arose where he would need one? Of course it's easy when he basically hands you the gun.
He was confident in that situation because he had done opposition research on Nacho and knew he wanted to keep the transaction on the down low because he was doing it under Tuco's nose.
