Those are all good shirts but I bet they'd all look better when complimented with a nice leather jacket.

The one in the final scene is honestly pretty cool. I also like that half black and half white one, he's wearing when he is sitting at the table in the back of Satriale's. https://www.vice.com/en/article/wxqxby/what-makes-tony-sopranos-clothes-and-outfits-so-good You guys saw this article right? I tried to replicate Tony's look when I first started watching the show, in high school, if I am being honest. My dad was thoroughly amused.

Man that shot of Tony with the string of sausages round his neck. A long stretch of raw sausage meat rubbing up on your clothes and skin. Ew.

maaaan University is a really upsetting episode. maybe the most upsetting thing in an episode of TV I've ever seen? I didn't catch on my first watch that they were drawing similarities between Tracee and Kaitlin.

It's definitely hard to watch (i admit that i skip that scene on every rewatch) but I don't know if i'd call it gratuitous. I think maybe it was Jerusalem who mentioned it in his recap, or maybe someone else in the discussion, but it's depicted as an act of brutal violence with no eroticism or anything at all; and then afterward it does a good job of showing how the system does very little to actually support survivors or seek justice. It's a good scene, it's just one that i refuse to watch ever again, once was enough for me

For as rough of a watch as it is, "Employee of the Month" is an important episode for the development of Melfi as a character. It's a necessary exploration of her continued involvement with Tony and his world, and the ending serves as a pretty definitive statement to the viewer that there are lines she will never cross. Part of what makes "University" feel especially cruel is that Tracee is not a character we know or have any familiarity with beforehand; she's introduced, repeatedly brutalized and finally murdered in the span of 50 minutes. It's not unusual for the show to bust out a new character and kill them off unceremoniously, but the way that she is subjected to a level of abuse at the Bing that has gone unaddressed or simply been glossed over to this point is especially jarring. (Plus it seems like her death is just there to advance Tony's story and his conflict with Ralphie.)

Agreed. It also sets up Melfi's decision (or not) to turn to the Dark Side/Seek Revenge, gave her agency and a line in the sand to draw to make a moral choice that strongly defined her character. It was kind of collateral damage from treating Tony but told in a different way. He didn't LEAD to it, of course, but Melfi struggled with the idea of embracing the power she could exploit by knowing him. ANY rape scene or story is going to be tough to watch and pushing the boundaries of good taste. There's really no two ways about it or a host methods to handle filming it "tastefully". Same can be said of things like lynchings, torture, war crimes, child abuse, prison executions, cross burning, swindling old people, homophobia, spousal abuse, concentration camps, pedophilia and I could go on and on and on. If you're making a movie or a show about bad people doing bad things that happen in real life and throughout history, I don't know if setting up something terrible, heavily implying it and then fading to black or having a character describe it on screen later is that much more of an effective runaround for the problem as it relates to good taste versus good film making, story telling and getting the horror across. It's a fine line and good directors straddle it well but you can't tell a story in a visual medium conveying horrible things without showing them being horrible. Janet Leigh's tits and rear end being shown in the Psycho shower scene would be gratuitous. Or Leatherface cutting up bodies in Texas Chainsaw Massacre and, interestingly enough, millions of people will swear they saw both. There were a couple of scenes in Jaws that were cut out because Speilberg thought they went too far but you still have to show the 8 year old Kettner boy being eaten and make the shark terrifying. Taxi Driver wouldn't have been as powerful without the creepy interactions between Iris and Sport. Nor would a movie like Sleepers have worked as well, along similar lines, even though it required seeing young kids being abused. The Exorcist, etc.

Well, Ray Liotta died at 67 Wasn't he considered for the role of Tony early on and turned it down because he didn't want to be stereotyped?

Lotta twins in NJ apparently find their way into the mob I tried to watch Saints again last night in honor of Liotta after noping out the first time and I had to stop. It's astonishingly bad. Poor writing, bad acting, cheap cinematography and bad directing. It's like everything the Sporanos is not and seems like it was made by someone else. I made it about 1/4 of the way this time.

It's like everything the Sporanos is not and seems like it was made by someone else. It's just...a movie that kinda tries to render some fan service here and there but does none of things that fans of the show actually like or would care about. It's next to impossible to care about any of the characters, the plot is all over the place and the only good acting I saw was Gandolfini's kid who's almost an afterthought. Granted, I didn't finish it so maybe it picks up in the second half. I very rarely quit on a book or a film once I'm into it but this one got me to break my rule. Godfather 3 was a better sequel.

I’m afraid I agree. I expect some “hey, remember on Sopranos when we talked about a thing that happened in 1966? Well now you get to *see* it happen!” moments, as well as a lot of “hey, it’s young Silvio!” type moments. But when the movie is literally nothing but that strung together by an insipid plot, some poor acting, and the whole film even just looks ugly… ooof, madonn’.

I thought it was fine. I liked getting a little more backstory and a nice twist about who really killed Chris's father. It was not offensive or boring at any points.

One little "twist" I really, really liked was finding out that Dickie Moltisanti's reputation for being a drug addict was based almost entirely off Livia finding out he had prescription drugs on him when he died, not knowing Tony had asked him to get them so he could slip them to her in an effort to medicate her, and immediately starting the rumor that he was a pill-popper. Also the scene where Livia meets the guidance counselor and they talk about her reading bedtime stories to Tony while Johnny Boy was in prison was like the best scene of the entire movie.
