>Tony, take it easy! I said a sip, not to empty the whole ice-cold can of fresh Coca-Cola™
I'm sorry, this alone makes it so I just can't rate it on the same level as The Wire. It's close, definitely above everything else, but not quite there still
>>63494661
>People actually compare the Sopranos with the wire
Please.. It's really no contest.
Pic very related
sopranos at its best is better. the wire has incredibly high entertainment value but the sopranos is a smarter, funnier and actually a more interesting and subtle critique of american society.

Apparently people don't like Ralphie. Have you heard this point of view before?
I thought he was funny and cool and kinda cute.
>>63494975
Funnier, sure. Rest is bullshit
>>63494975
The Wire is boring to me because no matter how much I could like "a police", the darkies just mumble hoobaloo through their dialogue. It might be realistic but I don't have to like it.
>>63494661
I dunno about you but that sesame chicken looks pretty damn good right about now
>>63495228
luckily I'm not a native speaker so I'm used to having subtitles
>>63495075
I loved Ralphie.
>>63495075
Ralphie was great was pissed as when he died especially just like that.
>>63495075
>it's a Ralph laughs at another person's misfortune episode
He's the best sociopath on the show after Richie.
>>63495228
are u american? i could see how non-americans could struggle with the dialogue. my own dad can't understand the blacks. he has trouble with irish and movies too though.
>>63495261
do the subs spell out words like yerp?
>>63495408
i wonder y she hasn't been in anything else. she played that character perfectly.
>>63495464
Because she has no range, most likely.
anyone know any good writeups on the sopranos episode to episode? I'm considering watching the series again and as I have many times it would bring a new element to it
>>63495408
>only one set of nice tits in the entire show
>they're on a young girl with braces
Awesome. Love that episode. All the other dancers and whores and tits you see in the show are ugly, but they really got all my points with Tracey.
>>63495628
I've come across three different websites where somebody watches the show in order and writes about each episode. I think one of them was hosted on the Star Ledger.
I won't say they were GOOD but I did finish reading them because I was so starved for more Sopranos
>>63495658

I'm not so much a fan of the "one episode wonder" characters that we're supposed to feel bad for. How quickly they have to introduce them to us, try and make us sympathize with, and then get rid of and make us feel feelings doesn't work. Even two episodes would be better. Like, season 2's Scatino guy who is featured in one episode heavily but then makes appearances for the next few. I felt way more bad for him.
>>63495480
her face and body could have carried her for a few things. she totally disappeared.
>the kid was a thoroughbred
oh come on, everyone knows what coca cola is. it'd be even worse if they replaced it with some generic brand created specifically for the show.
The Sops is in a league of its own. The Wire is hamfisted and limited in thematic scope and characterization compared to The Sops.
Only a babby who can't tell what's really happening in The Sopranos would disagree.
Carm just got hotter as time went on. Meadow went the opposite. Did you know they're daughters in IRL?
>>63495784
>limited in thematic scope and characterization
It sucks that all these shows that people try to show me, like Mad Men and Breaking Bad and The Wire, the characters aren't that great. They have like one really good guy, then a bunch of supporting ones who don't bring anything, and maybe a decent antagonist type guy.
Walt was cool, but he carried the show. You couldn't show me a Sky subplot and have it be interesting like you could with Carmela. I enjoyed AJ and Meadow a lot more than Walt Jr. Any of Tony's guys like Paulie, Chrissy, Big Pussy, Silvio, even Eugene or Vito were far more interesting than Jesse, Mike and Saul. They cared more about keeping you watching through exciting cliffhangers and "epic plots" rather than genuine interest in these characters interacting.
>>63495408
How exactly do you get your hair like this? Like what direction would I even fucking comb it in to give it that amount of volume? Is it all hair or is it hollow?
I want to try it out.
>>63495861it's a wig. the actor playing silvio lost his hair in a car accident fire decades earlier.
>>63494661
meadow is such a qt
>>63495788
they're not related. meadow isn't even italian IRL.

>it's a Christopher beats up Adriana and gets away with it episode
scumbag. I want to whisk her away to safety
>>63495852
Mad Men has great characters and is the anti-thesis to plot/cliffhanger/epic moment shows. Don, Peggy, Roger, Pete, Sally, Betty and Lane are fantastic.
>>63495788
But every woman is a daughter anon.
>>63495889
Thats always been the line from his reps but truth is he went premature bald
>>63495852
The characters in The Wire are mostly simplistic and just vessels to convey that season's themes. We see them in very few situations except at work, to show us their reactions to dysfunctional bureaucracy (the totality of the show's themes). They mostly aren't fleshed out lifelike people to even close to the degree we see on The Sopranos. They are their to help beat the viewer over the head with the season's themes.
Carver, Prezbo and Daniels have satisfying, albeit simple arcs, and are good to watch, but they are much more like cartoon and less like people than then main 6-7 characters from The Sopranos.
>>63495852
this.
almost every main character in sopranos is god tier most shows even the best ones always make you feel like your supposed to like this guy and dislike this guy, it feels very forced.
sopranos you just love them regardless of what they do
>>63495973
damn, I think I'd rather be in a car wreck than have to deal with that at 25.
>>63495953
I'm still on season 1. The last episode was about a...thing. They all got drunk at the office after hours I think.
>>63495408
I never really got attached to Richie, he only had one season.
Ralph was fucking great though, and the way he went out is the second most shocking death in The Sopranos.
>>63495889
nah it was from when the cars crashed. sooooo.... haaaarrdddd.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7o394hsQa58
>>63496029
>he only had one season
Hell, I think his first appearance was in episode 2 or 3 and then he was out in 12. even Tony B got more time.
well, probably similar. somebody should calculate their screen time
>>63494661
>It's an advertisment for Nissan episode
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Euky6FmO4aU
>>63496471
eh i wouldn't really call it an advertisement
even though its AJ he says a negative towards the product
if it was an advertisement he'd be like "wow even though its an SUV Nisan(TM) made this car really environmentally safe! All my fellow classmates will be so jealous!"
>>63495852
mad men has fucking great characters.
matthew weiner was a main writer on the sopranos
>>63494661
but people drink coke. they didn't say anything about they were just eating dinner.
>>63496471
it had to be some brand of car. the whole point of the episode was that he got a good car that was supposed to go to the other kid. had to show how cool it was to drive home the point of unfairness in life.
these both seemed natural as fuck
>>63496026
You haven't finished the first season and you're already making a call on the characters?
I find it strange when people who like The Sopranos don't enjoy Mad Men
I genuinely enjoyed the product placement on The Sopranos. With a few exceptions, I think it was worked in fittingly and worked with both the characterization and the themes of the show.
>>63496023
He's rich and famous. I think he's doing okay.
>>63494661
Eat shit OP
>mercy me carmela I asked for the delicious taste of Sunny D, not this off brand trash
>>63496023
Nigga I've been that bald since I was 18 it ain't no thing
>>63495965
What about the first ever woman?
The Sopranos was a masterpiece of television. The Wire was tryhard shit that made plebs think it was smarter than it actually was.
>>63496904
Yes, also her. Didn't necessarily have a mother, was a daughter by definition.
Where can I get a copy of this painting or the "general" one Paulie had?
>shilling for the daily caduceus
"so that guy still in a coma? should I go see him or would that be fucked up?"
>yeah, I think you should go see him
you witty old man
>>63494661
Bothers me much less than the generic crap. I have a half dozen logos within arm's reach of me right now, including a can of coke. I'm supposed to believe this mob boss in a 3000 square ft open floorplan drinks "Kola"?
is New Jersey as awful as Sopranos and ATHF make it out to be?
>>63495922
She's a kike
>"Crunch-a-tize me, Edie!"
What did he mean by this?
>>63496890
SOME PULP
>>63494661
You are clearly autistic.
>>63495926
w-would you r-rub her feet too?
>>63497812
no
they're too tan
>>63495978
the characterization on the Wire is and has to be a hell of lot subtler than Sopranos' being that the show doesn't revolve around a character's life but a city's life.
i wouldn't call the characters' reactions to dysfunctional beaucracy the totality of the show's themes just like i wouldn't use any one of the Soprano's taglines ("Family. Redefined.") to describe the show's themes.
it obviously goes deeper than that. where i think your bone to pick lays is in the time the shows' creators take to spell out the little things. Simon doesn't make it easy to see the things that define a character because biases of good and evil don't exist in his world. Chase is less subtle, but then he's not painting a picture of a city, but a man.
both of the shows' characters are still characters, and written damn fine. it all comes down to what you'd rather look at them through, a magnifying glass, or a microscope. you'd get a nice gander through the glass but you'd miss all the intricacies under the scope.
>>63496471
>you better be nice to your mudder
How can he expect his kids to be nice to Carmela when he calls her a mudder right in front of them?
Youre at Satriale's Pork Store getting some gabagool, when you accidentally step on this guys brand new Santoni leather shoes.
What do you do next?
>>63498085
get him a chicken parm on the house and a car grill in my thighs
did Tony become his mother? Instigating, bringing everybody around him to become miserable and then playing the victim?
>>63498085
I tell him that I'm the mother fuckin fuckin one who calls the fuckin shots, don't give me the Manson lamps and then I tell him to get the fuck out

please don't reddit my favorite show
>>63495852
did you just use BB as a show as an example of a show with supporting actors who cant stand on their own? like the show that just had a successful spin off season of a supporting character?
>All this Wire and Soprano's talk no mention of this gem.
Tsk tsk.
Hey, how do you rank the seasons? I've been rewatching it and 5th/6th are so much better than I remember. couldn't really enjoy them last time because I kept thinking "I don't want this to end"
>it's an insecure wirefag trying to pretend his shit show is near The Sopranos thread
