“Congratulations Tony!”

Just a little food for thought, I was just watching a review of the final episode of the Sopranos. The reviewer’s opinions seemed to reflect what a very vocal majority of the show’s fans have been saying:

“I’ve invested this time in it to see what happens to the characters. […] I wanna know what happens to these characters. I like these characters. I wanna know if he gets shot. I wanna know if he goes to jail. I wanna know what happens to the family. That’s why I was watching this show […]. Not to have somebody tell me some sort of philosophical [lesson]!”

Boy, doesn’t this all sound familiar?

The way I see it, we’re going to have two Sopranos movies on the way. One is just going to be a recap of the show’s seven seasons, and the 2nd movie will be a retelling of the show’s last two episodes. It may or may not involve the destruction of the human race.

Though I have a feeling that there will be many more expletives than Tony simply saying, “I’m so fucked up.” ;-)
