I have been a fan of the show from the beginning, and in my opinion, HBO is the best television has to offer.But last nights episode was like being married to the richest person on the planet, and when they die, they leave their money to charity.

The greatest part about being part of the Sopranos family, as a viewer, is how gutsy the show has been. The show eliminated the archaic good and evil, black and white lines by showing that bad people lead normal lives, and good people do bad things. That’s gutsy. The problem though is that when the show needed to be more ballsy than ever. It pussed out.
Now, I see how the show tried build the anticipation through out the whole episode and it was masterfully done. Don’t stop believing by Journey playing on the jut box, all sorts of shady creatures waling around the diner, and Meadow having trouble parking her car. But… If I wanted the ending left up to my own imagination then I would be a television writer myself.

If anyone has ever written a story before, then the one thing you know is that the ending is the hardest thing to come up with. Almost anyone can come up with at least one good idea, but whats sets people who do it for a living apart from those who just have good ideas is completion. A beginning, a middle, and an end. I’m sorry, but this show ended with way too much life in it, and too much story to tell.

Do you think there is going to be a movie? What did you think of the ending?

I remember a time when going to movies was an event. Months and months of anticipation, followed up by popcorn , dots, and kick ass movie. Now, when I am at the theater all I can think about is what I maybe missing on TV.

Why? When I see the kind of creative effort that is put into the shows on television I wonder how they can’t get these guys to write movie scripts. It has become so painfully obvious that movies are designed to get people to buy a ticket, and that’s all. Making good movies? Not a consideration anymore. Just making money.

The part that busts me up is how the studios blame Internet piracy for the drop in box office dollars. What a bunch of dildos. Here is my suggestion to you guys… come up with an original concept for once. Every movie in production these days is either a sequel or based off of a TV show or comic book. I can’t for the life of me remember a classic that will go down in the history of great movies that has been released over the last 5 years. Can you?

10-12 years ago we had movies like Forrest Gump, Titanic, Fight Club, American Beauty, and Saving Private Ryan. Now a days, we have Spiderman 3, Transformers, Harry Potter 5, Oceans 13, and a sequel to Bruce Almighty for God’s fucking sake. (All coming this summer)

Fuck that. Every one of those movies will look better on my HD-DLP- 56 inch TV when they come out on high definition DVD. Fuck, I can buy the movie, popcorn, and dots, and save 4 of my friends the fucking money it will cost me to go to the movie anyway.
In the mean time, I can enjoy the comforts of my couch while watching something that’s actually compelling, well written, and original. Not to mention that there is something on every single night.

You have Hero’s and this little show called Monday Night Football.

Tuesday-

The Shield, which will go down as the greatest cop show ever. (Write that down)

Wednesday-

Lost, which is hitting on all cylinders right now… amazing.

Thursday-

The Office… and

Finally two sitcoms that have broken the stereotypical sitcom molds with out canned studio laughs.

These shows are brilliantly funny.

Friday and Saturday… Go out loser.

Sunday-

and

I would venture to say that between these two shows, Rome, and The Wire… HBO alone has produced more hours of quality viewing time than any 10 movies in the last year combined.

I am telling you this now, if you look at any of these shows with a blank face and you go see shit movies like Doom and Scary Movie 4. (The 4th of a series of slapstick parodies. Real original) Save yourself the money and just get yourself a ball of yarn, because that’s all it should take to entertain a simple mind like yours.

So what do you think? At this point, what is better. TV or movies? Why? What are you watching?

Like this post? Buy me a beer.

 Staying true to the name of his hitman character on The Sopranos, actor Vincent Pastore has dropped out of the hit reality competition “Dancing With the Stars” after just one week of training.

His reason?

He had no idea the training would be so hard, he said.

“When I initially committed to joining Dancing With the Stars, I didn’t realize just how physically demanding it would be for me,” Pastore said in a released press statement.

WTF?!?! Has he not seen the show?!?! It’s a DANCING competition.

Pastore, who played gangster-turned-informant Salvatore “Big Pussy” Bonpensiero, is 60 years old, but his old age should be no excuse.

Jerry Springer competed last season and he’s 63. Furthermore, fellow contestant Heather Mills (Paul McCartney’s extranged wife) has yet to complain about the training…and she only has ONE LEG!

C’mon, Vince. Heather is hobble-dancing on one leg and you drop out after a week of training?!?! That’s just shameful. A little dancing might have done wonders for your health. Maybe you should call VH1 and ask to be a contestant on Celebrity Fit Club instead. No wait, that would probably be too physically demanding as well. On second thought, you’d better just stay home, watch HBO and eat steak.

“Dancing with the Stars” debuts Monday, March 19 on ABC. Other contestants will include Olympian Apolo Anton Ohno, boxer Laila Ali, former basketball star Clyde Drexler, actor and former country star Billy Ray Cyrus, former ‘N Sync member Joey Fatone, Miss USA 2004 Shandi Finnessey, former “Entertainment Tonight” host Leeza Gibbons, model Paulina Porizkova, and former “Beverly Hills, 90210″ star Ian Ziering.
