They know what they did.

It’s really a shame he didn’t have better aim.  Could have really made her proud and saved us all a lot of hassle.

to be fair, handwaving “I could go on” would be a classic Paulie trait.

Talking Sopranos mentions that a lot as well.  He was one of those guys, who is just a character.  If you have a problem with them, that’s your problem, as they often lack complete self awareness that anything they say or do is wrong.  But comedically, it works so well.  Of shows that were not ostensibly comedies, its

Tony nearly killed him for literally no reason.  He’s really annoying.  Like Kinja.

I feel like it’s more of a classic throwback/tribute to a different era and style of media making.

My grandfather flew PBYs in the Pacific Theater. recon, search and rescue and anti submarine. He talked about his service a lot he did 30 years, but never much about his flying days.

I couldn’t rewatch the Pacific. It’s more visceral and harrowing.  At least to me.

We also know Rust was from, or spent several years in Alaska, I can’t remember exactly, even though I watched that season again recently for the 4th time, because holy shit does it hold up.

this dick will be in all of our boxes.

I remember the book being very good. I’ve enjoyed some of Sheridan’s movies that he wrote. Ever since Yellowstone though he just seems bent on turning out more of the same.

The charges will continue until convictions ensue

Yes.

ugh. Fuck all the way off with this. This smirking shitshow is just a sop to failed third way liberalism. fuck all the campaign staffers that were birthed by the show, and the lapsed hippie boomers it caters to. Thanks for nothing.  You’ve sold us all out repeatedly.  I would say fuck Sorkin too but I don’t think

I mean the Sopranos was always classed as a drama, and it was, technically, but it was also one of the funniest shows I’ve ever seen.

It’s a chaos show, but, like, thoughtful

Yeah well a lot of older people don’t want to do things like upgrade to Windows 7 or you know, not be racist, but apparently that’s too hard for them as well.  I have no sympathy.

I have. When these things were first implemented, and for years after you could basically ring up $100 worth of groceries as fruit and vegetables and pay $15-20 and bounce out the front door.  What wasn’t to like?

It’s Tony Plana. He’s been a working actor for 50 years. Not Tony Guana....

Also your Return of the Secaucus 7 link isn’t actually a link.  Sayles deserves better as one of the most uniquely American indie film makers we’ve ever had.

I’ve owned it in various formats over the years. It really is fantastic.
