  • anyone seen or looking forward to the Sopranos prequel ?
  • My sis is at Universal and has been working on the Bond film. She sent me this today, not jealous much.




    How easy is it to change that to Admit One Hundred?
  • Gunpowder Milkshake. No surprises, competently done. 5/10.

    Had enough of the photos now.

  • anyone seen or looking forward to the Sopranos prequel ?
    Yes, I saw it at the weekend. I would recommend it. As with 'The Sopranos', it's a study of character - the trailer gives the impression that there's far more action than there is, whereas in reality it's focused on relationships, largely within the family.

    It's beautiful to look at with its period details, and has a soundtrack to match. Ray Liotta was a menacing presence and Michael Gandolfini rises to the challenge of portraying his father's most famous role. 

    I'd say the IMDb rating of 7.4 is just right.

    thanks 
  • anyone seen or looking forward to the Sopranos prequel ?
    Absolutely - it's my favourite TV show ever (just ahead of The West Wing), so really looking forward to it.
  • Off to watch No Time To Die at lunchtime today.
    Leaving the wife at home with the kids and I'm going on my own.  Less than 10 others in the screening.  That'll do nicely.

    I'm only just working through Sopranos now  - will I spoil anything for myself watching the film?

    I would take the film as the first episode of the Soprano series .. of course, not having yet seen the film, this is a hopeful guess
  • I have never seen the sopranos but i will start soon, will it topple the wire as my favourite show ever?

    i m o like comparing apples and oranges (or blondes v brunettes lol) .. both tasty but very different

    It's different, both are great. I thought Sopranos was going to be dry and a bit boring, but after the first few episodes I realised how much impact it had on the visual style of shows like Breaking Bad. Great characters and performances too, and I feel bad we'll never get more James Gandolfini performances every day.
  • I must admit that I thought Spectre was the best Bond yet so I am looking forward to the new one. 
  • No Time To Die 

    Not only the best film of 2021 but the best Bond film ever in my opinion.

    Having just come back from watching it, I agree with you its arguably the best Bond film yet.

    I don't want to give any spoilers away to anybody about to watch it, but its full of plot holes for one.  James bond films used to be light hearted, enjoyable and satisfying spy films.  This felt like a far fetched marvel film that shits on the last 60 years of bond.  Its clear we both have different tastes in films as you believe the Connery films are overrated, and whilst I emphatically disagree with that statement I accept it is the inevitable nature of cinema.

    Cheers was toying with the idea about seeing it tonight, so I'm going to go now.

    Everybody has different tastes. It might be better to say, if you enjoyed X you will enjoy Y. I am looking forward to watching the new Bond personally and expect it to be what I enjoy because I like the Craig Bonds. 

    I recall my brother taking us to the airport a few years back and saying, if they have it on the plane, watch The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. He said it is pretty slow for a good while but really gets special later on. Bastard! Mind you some people must have enjoyed it as they made a second one!

    All Daniel Craig films have been like this yet you went to watch it on the first afternoon of its release . What was you expecting? 
    As for plot holes . I can’t think of any . In fact everything tied up perfectly.

    The Many Saints Of Newark is my film of the year so far (just ahead of Palm Springs). Absolutely loved it. I do wonder what it's like for non-fans. I've no idea if my girlfriend can take anything from the movie having never seen any of the show - let alone the amount that I took from seeing the younger forms of the characters. The way they shaped the Tony Soprano influences was done with an incredibly light touch and a subtlety I have forgotten was possible given the movies I tend to be watching these days. I understand why it is getting around 7.4 on the ratings, but I personally found it a 9/10 movie. 

    No Time To Die is a really bloody good film too. There's quite a bit of pandering to the audience in terms of explaining what's going on, and some of the tone felt a bit disjointed (that could just be my perception) yet I would say it's the best effort since Casino Royale (I think Skyfall is hugely overrated!). I think the plot demands the 2.5 hour run time, the cast is excellent across the board, the characters are very well rounded, in particular Lashana Lynch's character, who avoids the obvious pitfalls that older Bond movies would have fallen into.

    In fact, as much as it references Bonds of the past, I think it does a remarkable job of bringing up some obvious cliches only to eschew them. And it's not afraid to break from some traditions. A quote from Bond that in the opening scene that references OHMSS makes that abundantly clear. 

    I watched it at a midnight screening last night, and even though there are 100 seats in that room and only 18 people sitting in them, someone sat next to me. But the joke was on him, because I have switched to edibles recently, and they have given me extreme, skunk-scented gas. 

    Thank you for the reviews, Jimmy. Out of interest, can you explain why you can understand it getting ratings around 7.4?

    I really cant decide if I like it or not.
    Would going to see it help?

    No they haven't all been like this at all, casino royale in particular is the absolute antithesis.
