The Many Saints of Newark (Sopranos prequel, Alan Taylor, September 24, 2021) Movie • Page 8

He has some range for sure.

 

ah, yes

 

The actor playing Paulie is two years younger than the actor playing Silvio. They are just throwing it all out there.

 

Idk reviews look better than I was expecting. at the very least it sounds like it doesn’t fuck the show up and its a story David Chase actually wanted to tell and not a total cash grab

 

Sounds like an El Camino situation which is fine

 

Hated El Camino so hopefully better than that

 

I wonder how long until David Simon brings back The Wire in some form.

 

Well he got me killed so it’s quite clear none of these rat bastards were worthy besides me.

 

Oh sick is that real?

 

Steven did a presentation at my uni two years ago!

 

He seems like such a cool guy haha

 

I think he’s really cool and super passionate about music programs in school, which I love

 

always been my favorite e street member

 

So this didn’t come out the 24th like the thread suggested!? Smh

 

October 1st. So Friday.

 

It is probably a good thing that the Sopranos learned their lesson about trying to use CGI to recreate actors 20 years ago.

 

Yeah this hit the spot for me lol.

 

wow they were not kidding when they said ignore the timeline.

 

I'm not quite sure how i feel.

 

There were a few good moments, but the caricatures of so many of the fully fleshed out characters we watched for years are really rough to stomach.

The big twist will be the talking point for a lot of people, which is so absurd they deserve some credit for pulling off.

 

I generally don't mind breaks in continuity or timelines, but it is weird that they do it for no apparent reason. Silvio is Tony's childhood friend in the show, but here he is already a bald mafioso while Tony is in elementary school. However, he has no real function in the plot other than to be a goon and for people to point at the screen and say they know him.

 

Yeah this was a very confusing choice. I loved the physicality of the actor but his voice was a caricature.

Corey Stoll absolutely nailed it though.

 

Uncle Junior was one of the better ones.

In terms of the returning characters, the one who probably benefits the most from this is Livia. The scene at the school gives her a chance to show a level of humanity and tenderness that the show never really explored. It reminded me of BoJack Horseman's exploration of his mother and the way it shows trauma being passed down over the generations.

 

I was planning on making a joke about how they forgot about Tony Blundetto even though the fifth season magically inserted him into the lore, but they did sneak in a reference.
