Tbf when I first heard the intro track to sopranos I found it quite jarring.

not what I expected from a mafia show. 
 

but yeah this isn’t great. I’m still looking forward to it though.

I wouldn't call The Sopranos a mafia show though? Crime drama maybe.

Agreed - fucking hate that song and it doesn’t fit 

It's one of telly's greatest opening credits, IMO!

Definitely one of the best intro tracks ever.

It was a bit of a mixed bag for me although I'm struggling to think of a series with great music right through. That Journey track at the end left a sour taste.

Genuinely never heard it til then, so don't mind it 

 

 

LTW is right, when I heard it at the end of Sopranos it was perfection, because it was little known, it was re released after that and educationally subnormal women started putting 'just a small time girl' as their Facebook status, which I'd often reply to with the towns population and explain it wasn't a small town, but I digress, the music in the show is first class.

I thought it fitted quite well that song, although I don't like it and wouldn't listen to it otherwise. I always thought Glad Tidings when Tony killed cousin Tony was a fucking amazing choice.

Absolutely, I also love 'Rock the cass bah' when he's chasing Phil, and of course 'comfortably numb' when Christoper takes his last ride.

 

 

Although Carmela the wretched cunt playing Time to say goodbye 86 times does ruin everything.

I didn't watch The Sopranos until 2015, by which point the song had become more upsetting than the holocaust.

Just brilliant. DM ing women to point out the population of their towns and why they are not small town girls. Made me laugh out loud on a conference call.

You wouldn’t call a show about an Italian-American crime family commonly referred to as the mafia, a mafia show? Sure it had drama but that’s a bit like saying SOA isn’t a biker gang show.
 

on the intro track, it certainly grew on me I admit and I  Also thought the show picked the music pretty well throughout. I didn’t like some of the tracks but they were all well placed.
 

this film was one I defo would have gone to the cinema for but I’m actually happy to watch it at home so I don’t have to deal with the general public.

Will it not miss out on awards if it doesn’t have a theatrical release? or I assume they will do a limited release allowing them to qualify.

There's no such thing as the mafia.

Interesting (slightly spoilery).

Nah I'll have nachos with whey powder, modified potato starch, milk proteins, emulsifying salts (E452, E339), calcium phosphate, salt and added colour from beta carotene and paprika extract melted all over them. Can't wait.

Reviews are coming out. About to spend the next 45 mins in the car at my daughters Cheerleading practise reading them.

Reviews are mixed. Not good. I had a feeling this would have worked better as a series or a 3 hour film

[Chairman Meow]

I would have loved them to do a series focussed on Johnny and Junior and the likes of a young Feech.

 

To be honest, I'm not expecting much from this, so will be pleasantly surprised if it's decent.

[RedKnight]

Seen it. Just to say that Vera Farmiga is excellent as Livia as a non-spoiler.
