So James Gandolfini died. Did anybody care about him at all?
|
All I knew was that he apparently was in The Sopranos, but even then, I... never watched that and only heard of it when he died, so it affects me none.

Did you see the pictures of his funeral? Jamie-Lynn Sigler and Michael Imperioli crying just breaks my heart. |

I've never seen it, but I know many people who've watched it and they highly recommend it.
I'm actually surprised this topic only just now made it here to PC. It was all over the American cable and entertainment networks late last week and over the weekend. And I think it's still getting a fair bit of coverage today. I don't know any of his other works, but he seems to have been very popular here in America. |
Shame he died, but it doesn't make me want to watch the Sopranos. The show could have all my favorite actors, but it wouldn't make me want to watch that kind of a show. At least the kind of show I imagine it is. Some kind of modern gangster show with lots of violence. I wish there wasn't so much violence in all the popular shows. It's kind of a turnoff and I can't get involved in the shows that others are watching.
|
The violence in our media is pretty tame compared to what's out there though. I just watched a documentary on crime in Jamaica and people literally do die every day. I'm not even sure if media violence can prepare you for real life stuff.
|
Yeah, I know there is a lot of horrible violence in the world that's worse than anything on TV, but I still don't like a lot of violence in my shows and it makes me a little sad I can't join in with some of my friends when they talk about Game of Thrones and so on.
|
Honestly, The Sopranos isn't as violent as you probably think it is. It has its moments, sure, but it's very restrained in comparison to what it could be. I know a lot of its fans often wished it was more violent than it was because they'd been led to expect it would be some Godfather/Goodfellas for TV when it really was its own thing.

Sopranos isn't the type of show that is gruesome, killing, drugs and all those stuffs that gangster movies usually show. It mostly show Tony and how he gotta keep his life balanced between his family and gangster lifestyles. It's a pretty interesting show. I never really was a follower of the show but when I did see it, I liked every episodes that I saw.

So. Summer blockbusters. Best? Worst?
Superman movie was surprisingly good, but then I had low expectations. I kinda want to see the Lone Ranger just to see how bad it can get. |
Man of Steel obvious wins for best summer blockbuster, hands down. For worst, I'm guessing Despciable Me 2, since you know, critics and the geek culture have a mindset that any animated film that's not Disney, Pixar, nor Dreamworks is considered to be inferior for its cliches, toilet jokes, and family-friendly?
|
Nerf to those people who practically live for Pixar, Dreamworks, and Disney, completely ostracizing other animated works. Despicable Me 2 was just fine and it deserves whatever acclaim it garners. Notice it also grossed nearly four times its budget; I think that says something even if it's just based on ticket sales and not the quality of the movie. I thought it was good. 8(

I've only seen WWZ and Now You See Me, and I liked both of them for what they were (the latter a bit more, I really liked Isla Fisher the star-studded cast). Haven't seen Man of Steel yet, and I'm not planning to unless my friends drag me out.
Also, it was really weird to see both David Morse and Michiel Huisman from Treme in close proximity in WWZ. I have impossibly high expectations for Pacific Rim though. |
I have a feeling Pacific Rim is going to be one of those movies that you either love or hate. That's my experience with other del Toro movies.
Speaking of which, I should watch Pan's Labyrinth again sometime soon. Love me that movie. Summer's a great time for scary/fantasy movies. |

I actually only saw World War Z, I might check out Man of Steel soon. I also wanna see Grown Ups 2. And as for Despicable Me 2, I don't really like it, but I gotta admit that the original movie and also the sequel were huge success, I don't think it'll be the weakest movie of the summer.
Oh and also, I'm REALLY looking forward to The Wolverine. With him being one of my favorite Marvel characters. |

Days of Future Past is one of those apocalyptic dystopian future stories, isn't it? |
Dyas of Future Past (If it follows the storyline of it) will involve time travel and it's gonna be a sequel to X-Men 3 & X-Men First Class.
