R3, I wish someone would let us rewatch Homicide: Life on the Street. It's the best show ever produced on network television, and one of the only ones that's not available to stream. And I think NBC owns it, so what the fuck?

Yeah, I started NYPD blue and just couldn’t get interested.

I watched True Romance the other night, they had seen where a couple of black guys were arguing about eating pussy. It made me think of the uncle Jr. Cunnilingus episode.

As a dude who does dudes, I have to admit that I enjoy eating a hot chick’s pussy. It really is just “giving head” as they put it in the sopranos.

Sometimes, I think I’m just lazy because fucking guys doesn’t usually involve as much bullshit as banging hot chicks. That and the whole thing about them not being able suck dick as good as somebody who has one.

Initially I ignored Homicide thinking it was just one more cookie cutter cop show. Then either Lifetime of A&E began rerunning the series and by chance I tuned into an episode about a maniac killing children in an elementary school and the show's intensity totally grabbed me. Remarkably good television that stayed on the air one season too long.

Carmela Soprano is an icon. That's all I know about this series.

Sad, he outlived hid son by almost a decade.

As are Rosalie Aprile and Ginny Sack. I loved all three of those Jersey hens.

Unfortunately, Denise Borino-Quinn, who played Ginny, died shortly after the show went off the air.

I recently started rewatching, I haven't seen the show since it first aired on HBO. Last night, I finished watching Season 1. It's amazing how accurately Episode 11 portrayed bipolar disorder, specifically, depression. James Gandolfini played a depressed person so well. His mother was such an old cunt, wasn't she?

by Anonymousreply 16October 20, 2021 11:54 PM

One of the most brutal scenes in the whole show: Carmela confronts Tony about their entire relationship.

Edie Falco has said they shot other things all day and did this at 3 in the morning when they were both exhausted and at the end of their ropes. She gives a master class here.

He played everything so well. Best acting job in a series we’ll ever see.

Good thing so many of the characters died young so we won't have a reboot with original cast in another decade.

They’re going to reboot it as a prequel series with his son playing young Tony Soprano.

Michael Imperioli and Steve Schiripa, who did the Talking Sopranos podcast, have come out with a new book on the series.

[QUOTE]In “Woke Up This Morning,” rhe tome weaves interviews with dozens of cast and crew members (and series creator David Chase) for an unprecedented, dishy, behind-the-scenes look at the iconic mob drama, which aired on HBO from 1999-2007 with star James Gandolfini as troubled North Jersey mobster Tony Soprano.

[QUOTE] The nearly 500-page book, which borrows its title from the show’s theme song by Alabama 3, is comprised of interviews, both from “Talking Sopranos” — the popular podcast hosted by Imperioli and Schirripa — and from deeper-dive interviews by the duo. Imperioli played Tony’s “nephew,” Christopher Moltisanti; Schirripa played Tony’s (eventual) brother-in-law, Bobby “Bacala” Baccalieri (both characters met bloody ends).

[QUOTE]“This isn’t a book about the podcast,” said Schirripa, 64, who spoke to The Post about “Woke Up This Morning” along with Imperioli. “We talked to a lot of people again. There’s so much material. On the podcast, we go scene by scene; in the book, it’s season by season, so it’s completely different.

[quote] James Gandolfini apparently threw a fit over Tony Soprano bathroom jerk off scene during season 6.

On Talking Sopranos, the actor who played Councilman Zellman (Peter Riegert) said that he objected to the Tony character giving him a literal bare-ass whipping (with a belt) over the Russian girlfriend (Oksana). The scene did end up involving a belt-whipping, but no bare ass. Riegert said that it would have been humiliating for him, as an actor, to do the bare-ass thing.

Yet, in the final season ("Chasing It"), they had a child actor (Frank Borelli), who played Vito's son, do stuff like shit in a public shower with people watching. That was a horrible, uncalled-for thing to do to an actor, much less a child actor.

My attitude for actors is usually: play your role. But now I do see actors drawing the line.

On Talking Sopranos, they just discussed the "Chasing It" episode and raved about Borelli's performance and noted that Borelli hasn't been acting any more.

I'm getting sick of TS because they're so biased and full of shit.

Yes, Irina. Thank you. The actor's name is Oksana Lada.
