Yeah I haven't gotten into anything new since about 2010. Everything since then, unless it was made by some older man like Scorsese, has been weird and alienating.

I turn movies and TV off these days the second I notice them forcing an agenda. These days it's hard to watch anything for that reason.
I'm fine with storylines about race and politics if it feels natural. The Sopranos was great at it until the Vito storyline. The Noah storyline was perfect... Tony acted like a piece of shit, but you end up hating Noah not because he's black and Jewish but because he's an unbearable college boy.

Re: First look at ‘Sopranos’ prequel…
The woke factory of Hollywood, where every actor walks by thousands of homeless everyday, while pointing their finger at the excesses of society. Lol. What a bunch of fucking clowns. I understand you want to touch on topics that are touchy in today's world, but don't we get enough of that from the actual news? Im not saying having this kind of message is bad, but at the end of the day we just want to leave the real world issues at the door for 30-60 minutes and watch some entertaining television. Honest truth, not everything needs a message. A movie or tv show here and there with a sociological message? Okay. But not every movie and tv show needs one. Wokeness ruined entertainment. The PC shit ruined comedy. They could never make movie like Old School, Step Brothers or There's Something About Mary today.Ivan wrote: ↑Wed Jul 21, 2021 5:43 amYeah I haven't gotten into anything new since about 2010.

A friend of mine was invited to an early screening in LA a few months ago. He spoiled nothing for me, but said he really disliked the riot scenes.PolackTony wrote: ↑Tue Jul 20, 2021 10:34 pm Before the pandemic hit, I met an Italian dude out in Union, NJ who told me that he played a bit part in the movie, which he described as an “Italian racist” during one of the riot scenes.

Can it even be spoiled when we all know how it is going to turn out?

The Tim Whatley "date rape" Dentist subplot in the era of "MeToo".

I don't know, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia focuses on five straight, white people and is about as non-PC as anything on the air, now.Nick Prango wrote: ↑Fri Aug 20, 2021 11:27 amA show about 4 white people who are all straight.

Re: First look at ‘Sopranos’ prequel…
We’ll, the straight part isn’t really true, as in later seasons they decided to suddenly make Mac gay. This always felt forced and cheap to me, because in earlier seasons Mac was a pretty straightforward meathead wannabe to Dennis’s creepy player persona. I thought Mac was way funnier when he was obsessed with older women due to his emotionally distant mother. Even when he was dating “the tranny” this was never spun as him being gay (he was grossed out by the penis), but rather just desperate for attention and sex.Snakes wrote: ↑Fri Aug 20, 2021 12:53 pmI don't know, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia focuses on five straight, white people and is about as non-PC as anything on the air, now.Nick Prango wrote: ↑Fri Aug 20, 2021 11:27 amA show about 4 white people who are all straight.

Re: First look at ‘Sopranos’ prequel…
I think the earlier seasons are hilarious. As with many shows, it gets kinda goofy and silly later on, as the characters become sort of one dimensional caricatures of themselves.Nick Prango wrote: ↑Fri Aug 20, 2021 5:46 pmI have never watched that show.
