MeatwadIsGod posted:Absolutely, so much of it just meanders or ends in a wet fart like the stuff with Mulder's sister. Monster-of-the-week episodes are far and away the best. The X Files really started running out of gas around the first feature film but those first 3-4 seasons have tons of awesome episodes it feels like this with shows nowadays, where some of your better episodes are stuff where everyone's still trying to see what sticks and what doesn't and you get really interesting episodes, rather than everyone settling into their role and going along with the deus ex machina or whatever Monk fell pretty badly into this and also had these long expositions for all of the characters on the show somehow, so you know that the goofy cop has a band at all times

I like the Sopranos, but the description and trailers for Many Saints looked like garbage so I didn't bother with it. After hearing Felix tear it apart, I'm glad I made the right choice.

This Sopranos movie sounds like it would definitely be my sort of trash if I still watched movies, which is to say you probably shouldn’t watch it.

the best x-files episodes were the ones that didn't take themselves seriously like the cops crossover and that christmas episode in the haunted mansion. my favorite running gag is how incompetent the CSM and his associates are. they get foiled by mulder and scully every other week who somehow still have jobs Think Less has issued a correction as of 20:50 on Oct 8, 2021 |

Gripweed posted:Because if you watch it that slowly A: you won't finish until well after the current Sopranos craze has died down so you won't be able to talk about it with people and B: If you start watching the show very slowly in this current Sopranos craze, you're guaranteed to get spoiled on it. I've seen tons of Sopranos spoilers and they don't stick because I don't know anything about the show. So if I see a tweet about the time Jimmy the Shoes got shot by Dicky Camarillo, it's meaningless and instantly forgotten. If I started watching the show and got really invested in Dicky Camarillo's journey towards recovery, only to then be spoiled that he falls back into the life by killed Jimmy the Shoes no less, It would be annoying.

Say what you will about the Sopranos, but walking around you house saying “Docta Cusamono” in Tony Soprano voice is entertaining.

My [28F] boyfriend [29M] of two years will not stop speaking in a fake Italian-American accent and keeps making up foreign words tl;dr - my boyfriend won't stop speaking in a stupid "tough guy" italian american accent and is starting to make up fake italian-sounding words. i'm really annoyed / worried if this might be a red flag Okay to preface this, I love my boyfriend and he is a super sweet, nice, smart guy that I feel lucky to have but his behavior lately is freaking me out and makes me worried for the future. My boyfriend loves movies, especially mob movies. He has all of the Sopranos DVDs at his place and I'm pretty sure he still watches them that way. That's fine, obviously you can watch and enjoy whatever you want. But last week he saw "The Irishman" with some friends and since then he will NOT stop talking in like a fake stereotypical mobster accent. We were in an uber the night after going out to dinner and admittedly the driver was going a little fast but my boyfriend kept muttering things like "Who's this loving guy, huh? Dale Earnhardt Jr over here" and shouting "HO!" as we took corners. He would NOT shut up and even gave the driver a one-star review saying it was about "respect." Everyone has their quirks, I get it, and they can be what makes someone special. At first it was even kind of cute / funny but I just can't really understand this shift all of a sudden. It's been a week and he continues to make asides in this voice and when he gets drunk he speaks in made up Italian. Like we were having desert at my sister's and he came up to me and said "Hey, ma, I gotta get home and hit the drippini." I'm the DD (I don't drink) so I asked him why he wants to leave and what a drippini is ??? His response was "Ya know, like a shower." Drippini is NOT a word! In ANY language! He also never called me "ma" before ever and now he does it almost all the time. I feel crazy, like is this going to be a permanent feature of his personality now? I know this sounds incredibly stupid compared to some of other serious issues on here but I am just really nervous about what this means about his personality / mental health. He really is a sweet loving guy with a wonderful family and we have a lot in common but just like, I don't even know how to begin to approach this. I want to tell him off and be like why do you keep doing this voice can you please stop. We don't live together so thankfully it's not a constant thing but like, what if we did and it was?? Is this the kind of thing you just deal with when its someone you love? EDIT: I just want to add that he's NOT italian at all either so im also worried people will get offended when we're out or something

I don't think I've ever seen the like, before or since. I rewatched it a few years ago and imo it's just the first episode that's horrible, episodes 2-3 are improving slowly but you don't notice until episode 4 blows your socks off. lucky there was an insane amount of top tier titties and hunks to keep people tuned in until the show found its feet. highly recommended everyone check the first season, it's only 10ish eps and is pretty self contained
