    I like what Melfi said.  That Tony resents AJ because Carmela protected him from his father, which was counter to how Tony's mom failed to protect him from Johnny.

    Tony hated that AJ wasn't just like him, but at the same time did not want his son anywhere near the business. Carmela babied him and he turned out soft. Tony, as a father, really wasn't around much and didn't have a huge hand in raising him. That causes a lot of his internal conflicts.

    Did you watch the version with the three dudes discussing it? I watched the Von Erich one the other night, that shit was good. 

    I haven't yet. I'm gonna probably fire it up tonight.

    Probably a good call on Hesh since he was, ya know, Jewish.

    Fun fact, the original choice to play Hesh was Jerry Stiller. But he was already booked to do something else.

    Green Book

    Rewatched this with my wife and daughter (two different people, Biff T), and thoroughly enjoyed it and sharing the experience with them.  The growth of symbiosis between Doc and Lip, individuals with so little in common, was mighty fine.  Attention to period detail was very well done.  The comeuppance of the surly racist stage hand in Indiana was a very good scene.  Feelgood film based on true events - we need some more of these.

    I haven't seen it yet. But, I had no idea, until recently, that Lip is based on the guy that played Carmine Lupertazzi in the Sopranos.

    Finally watched The Proposition, Aussie Western. Very old school movie, I liked it.

    I guess this is a new release to Prime, not sure how it ended up on my list, but I tried to watch Love Witch, wtf. Did not get that one.

    Also rewatched Coming to America, not sure if I ever really sat through the whole thing, and it was a lot better than I remembered.

    Then I watched Life, Eddie Murphy & Martin Lawrence, which somehow I'd never heard of, and it wasn't bad but not that good.

    Fuck you.

    it's like one of those history channel things - talking heads going over historical figures and events with cuts to reenactment. I'm not very far in but it seems decent for that kind of thing so far (although I think they may have oversold the "pirates liberated slaves and founded a democracy" thing in the opening spiel)

    I'm enjoying it.

    Thoughts on I care a lot? Conversation around the house was “Is Grayson supposed to be trump?” The Russian guy = GOP or Russians? Or did we have too much to drink tonight?

    It sucked.

    The new miniseries Behind Her Eyes gets a glowing, spoiler-free review. Apparently, it has a "big reveal" near the end that the critic compares to Sixth Sense, Se7en, Crying Game, and The Usual Suspects in its impact.

    Think I'll give it shot tonight.

    Watched it with my wife. Pretty good.

    In the same boat here, Vic.

    I watched it during its original run on HBO, but have never done a re-watch on any episodes until I started up again last week. I don't know if its because my memory has grown fuzzy on a lot of the show's subtle details, or if I've just become jaded over the subpar offerings during the pandemic, but damn this show is fucking amazing. 

    It's just that good.

    Put me in the camp of WTF for 'I Care A Lot'.  As others stated, it was a decent ride until the lake scene.  You've spent the entire movie portraying this woman and her girlfriend as ruthless people praying on elderly people. Now, you want the audience to sympathize\empathize with the same women after they escaped what they truly deserved? Nope.

    Was I the only one who had to IMDB Alicia Witt?  I was like, the voice is quite familiar but I can't quite place that face....

     

    They went from scam artists to stealth ninjas taking out the Russian Mob. Totally absurd.

    Watched I Care a Lot...

    Holy crap that was terrible. Told my wife I’ve never rooted for the Russian Mafia before and also been so poorly disappointed in their ability to kill someone.

    Basically up to the lake seen it was tolerable but after that even my wife was saying this cunt better die.

    Girlboss!!! Meets a shitty version of layer cake

    All this. Ridiculous movie.
