Thank you, as a hat connoisseur I hate when people conflate anything with the now ruined fedoras

Something like a ten episode miniseries really would have been ideal but Chase seems to only want to work in movies. His apparent disdain for television could be a reason The Sopranos was so great, he was bringing in so much from cinema in a way rarely seen before. But it also kind of reminds me of all these comedians…

The movie treated its audience like they were very dumb, which is something the Sopranos rarely did. The scene they showed in the trailer with Baby Christopher crying due to Uncle Tony seemed way too on-the-nose, and then in the movie it’s even longer and worse! They practically say “This baby can tell that you’re a…

Walter White (Bryan Cranston), for instance, methodically transformed before our eyes from a dying chemistry teacher who gets pushed around by his cop brother-in-law to a fedora-wearing kingpin who gets his brother-in-law killed.

Agree. As the article states, the biggest issue where I started to not like the film was when Dickie killed his father, that should have been a huge deal, and three seconds later he is with his father’s wife and no one bats an eye. Handwaiving all of that to stuff all that plot in was too much. The movie was full of…

I know this is typically the case with prequels, but Many Saints is especially confounding to put through the “describe it as though the show/movie that comes after doesn’t exist” test.

My problem with the Sopranos movie, which other commenters here have said in various (and better) ways than I’m about to, is that it’s completely all over the place. If I dared you to describe the plot in three sentences, you couldn’t.

It seemed like if Chase had just picked a movie and made that it could have been a lot better. Whether it be a Dickie movie a Harold movie or a young Tony movie. Any of those as a focus would have been a lot less messy than what we got.

There are so many people in these comments who don’t remember what happened, what was planned, or what was said in 2004. They obviously bought what Les Moonves was pushing as the narrative and had confirmation bias about anything that didn’t. They are the ones most in need of a documentary to revisit this and what…

The costume was made by Alexander McQueen.  He made outfits that were so structurally sound they’re able to hold up antlers and horns, multiple pieces of bird taxidermy, and an entire human skeleton 20+ years after he first sent them down the runway. If a part of his design came off, it’s because it was meant to come…

What gets me is that the performance comes off kind of rapey — Justin grabs her top and rips it off. Whoever choreographed that move should have their head examined. 

When the scandal broke out, a young and naieve me kept wondering what the big deal was.

Nah, this was a huge deal; FCC got lit up with complaints, Janet was disinvited from the Grammys (Justin too, but he went and issued his lil’ apology and threw her under the bus so he got to go), and, much like J. Lo’s Versace dress birthing Google image search, it’s part of the reason we have YouTube.

I don’t remember that he blamed her but he definitely didn’t stand up for her. He skated away consequence-free, whereas she was blamed for the whole thing. He should’ve spoken up for her.

Well you aren’t remembering it right if that’s your recollection. It was far more than a couple of days of headlines. And if it was, it wouldn't till be brought up today and there wouldn’t be enough there for a documentary.

I don’t recall Timberlake blaming her, but the media largely ignored his role in it and just focused on her. Instead of blaming the guy who actually yanked the fabric off, the media all blamed Janet for. . . having nipples on her boobs, basically. The way the talking heads went on about it, you’d think Janet was a…

I have the impression the whole thing was choreographed and planned to go off pretty much the way it did. Chances are everyone was planning on getting some noteriety and free publicity from the shock of it all but didn’t bank on it being treated like a scandal fit to crack the very foundations of human civilization.

I guess it was a big deal in some circles? I remember it being a thing that people talked about for a couple days, and then disappearing to whatever the next ‘scandal’ was.

I have waited all of my life to see this country’s “collective consciousness.” It doesn’t have one because it has the 3-second memory of a goldfish, which is why is re-plays different versions of Jim Crow over and over every decade. Ms. Jackson doesn’t need to forgive sh*t.

Les Moonves was fired from CBS for sexual harassment in 2018, and this year had to give up his $120 million severance. It would be poetic if this documentary now dragged his name in the popular culture the way he dragged Janet Jackson’s career.
