First look at ‘Sopranos’ prequel…

[Ivan]

Believe it or not I've never actually watched the Sopranos, other than some clips here and there, but I intend to. But other stuff keeps getting in the way.

I think I'll watch this origin story first and then watch the series, maybe.

Wow. It's really the only other thing on par with the Godfather movies, Goodfellas and Casino.

Who is Ray Liotta supposed to be?

[Raven]

I don’t ever remember Tony being called Antonio in the show, only Anthony or Tony and I thought it was discussed in the show that Tony B had been the one given a high IQ in school.

I think he's playing Aldo Moltisanti who is Dickie's father.

Yeah. In the show they never mentioned that Tony Soprano had been given a high IQ in school.

[Teflon Dom]

Wow, comes out in October I had completely forgotten about this movie until now. Thank god for hbo max, won’t have to trek to a theater thankfully.

All of you are more confident than me. I have very low expectations. The trailer appears to be the B-movie Brooklyn mob "stuff" on Amazon Prime.

Go back and look at the previews/episode recaps for the series. They're terribly produced, for the most part. I'm expecting it to be good but I don't think that's unreasonable based on David Chase's rep.

[NJShore4Life]

I trust David Chase but I’m scared how this movie doesn’t have all Italian-American actors from NJ and NY like the series did, that really scares me.

The series was so authentic in terms of being an Italian-American in Jersey during that exact time period of 1999-2007.

Lol. Under promise and over deliver, that is the motto I tell my staff to follow.

"No offense, John, but I got an IQ of 136. It's been tested."

I recall that but wasn’t there a conversation in the show about how Tony Bs mom let it slip that Tony Bs IQ was high and the implication was Tony S wasnt supposed to know about it to save him from being embarrassed or something.

Do you put a lot of stock into that number?

Tony B’s IQ was 158, which is extremely high (99.995 percentile) while if Tony S was 136 he was in the very high range (99+ percentile), but he would still have something to be jealous about. Based solely on IQ, Tony S is almost always the most intelligent person in the room, but not when Tony B is there. As Tony S told Melfi as well: “I took that test and if someone gets a 158, they know a few things”, indicating that he had some basis to care about someone’s IQ results, that this was something that mattered to him. So I think him testing as high IQ as a kid is consistent with a couple hints that were dropped during the series.
