They're probably my favorite couple from all of the franchises. I always found their relationship charming for the most part (Joe is lucky as hell he as a woman so patient with some of the chauvinistic things he's said). It's cute how much he gasses her up and their relationship feels authentic.
I can't even think of other couples that have even lasted long enough to get to know them as viewers??
Mind F*** 😂. I thought his face looked so familiar from something else I watched. He’s definitely got some range as an actor.
Mind = blown
I think any show with ampersands (&) in their title do not work on the Plex Alexa skill.
UPDATE: I discovered a temporary fix.
Me: "Alexa, tell Plex to play Law Order" (no & or and in my utterance)
Alexa: "Sorry, I'm having trouble accessing your Plex skill right now, ding ding"
Plex: starts playing the video
(note, Law & Order is just an example, I haven't watched it)
I'm thinking about maybe watching that show. What's it like? What's it about, is it any good? The publicity materials haven't told me diddly...
I wish they made their toys easier to hold all the 1 million pieces they come with.
Some items we have, come with a lid or cover. But most don’t. I have so many random wood pieces that go to toys and it’s hard to keep them together for the toys they belong to.
Venting!
Interesting interview where he briefly discussed the show
Two decades on, he thinks The Sopranos remains widely misunderstood. “What always upset me was that the majority of the audience didn’t get the genius of David Chase, and what David Chase was saying about these monsters,” he says. “Tony Soprano becomes a hero, when he’s a broken down gangster and a murderer. Scumbags like Trump and Roger Stone, all these white-collar criminals, continue to be quoted as using The Godfather and The Sopranos as a blueprint for being douchebags! I mean, how fed up is that?”*
The world of The Sopranos was one Pantoliano knew well. His stepfather, Florio Isabella, was a Genovese crime family associate whom Pantoliano described in his 2002 memoir Who’s Sorry Now as “the sweetest wiseguy I ever knew”. Whether aided by that family history or not, Pantoliano’s performance as Ralph Cifaretto is an astounding achievement, combining moments of wild-eyed humour with others of blood-chilling menace. “In my design of putting Ralph together, I always decided that he was sexually abused by his alcoholic mother’s boyfriends, that he was addicted to watching The Godfather, and that he really wanted to be Michael Corleone,” remembers Pantoliano. “That’s why I had him wear those ascots. I said to David [Chase, Sopranos creator] that I didn’t want to look like those other guys. I wanted to look like a politician. Ralph was gonna be in business with politicians so I wanted to be able to fit in, in that way. That was the part he was playing.”
