having a sit-down at the Bing

 


They've got the faces, on The Sopranos.


What an excellent, atmospheric, engaging show it is.  When the elements come together -- directing, writing, acting...it's like "lightning in a bottle."  


When Anthony Junior goes to visit Tony Soprano's psychotic mother, and he mentions that he's going to counseling and she says psychology is "nonsense," and, indignantly,  "That's just a racket for the Jews!"

     Oh! That makes me laugh so hard, I'm not sure why.  Just so inappropriate to say in front of a child, particularly your own grandson.  Setting that kind of an example...  Then again, what do we expect, the woman is crazy...


All the music they used for episodes of that show is so good:  David Chase has great taste.  Exception:  when one of their kids gets onstage at school and sings...

     It's like, another option to threaten people when they don't pay up:  I beat the hell out of you, or make you listen to my kid sing!  What's it gonna be...??!
