"The Many Saints of Newark" is not a Mafia movie....it is a horror movie!
Or more accurately a horrible movie.
I can't express how disappointed I feel about this movie. How much it let me down. I thought David Chase would give us a return to the glory days of the Sopranos. He was going to give us a glimpse into the younger versions of Tony and Silvio and Paulie Walnuts and Big Pussy. We get to meet Johnny Boy Soprano and Uncle Junior in his salad days. Plus Christopher's father the legendary Dickie Moltisanti. .
Instead we get warmed over Black Lives Matter bullshit
They waste most of the movie on a subplot about a conflict between Dickie and one of his numbers runners.. The story telling is so bad there is not even a payoff to the conflict. In a shoot out they kill a couple of people and then just stare at each other and then walk away! No payoff in the final act for the premise of the whole movie.
Plus there is the Ray Liotta issue. A little of this overbaked ham goes a long way. He gets killed off in the first few minutes of the movie and comes back as his twin brother in jail that Dickie goes to talk to throughout the movie. I heard David Chase talk on the Talking Sopranos podcast about using twin brothers being soap opera bullshit and the cocksucker uses it in his movie! What a Mortadella!
The impersonations suck balls. The only guy who nails it is the one playing young Silvio Dante. But that raises another question. He was always portrayed as a contemporary of Tony who came up in his crew. Now he is about ten years older around Paulie Walnuts age. Where is the continuity? In the fucking dumper that's where!
I am very sorry but I can't recommend this movie at all. You are better off going to the original series and watching an episode like "Long Term Parking" or the "Pine Barrens." This bag of shit is a waste of time. It was made to satisfy the contemporary demand to kowtow to BLM and the ultraliberal mindset of Hollywood. It is not for fans of crime fiction or Mafia Movies.
Give it a pass if you can.
I can't tell you how much it pains me to say that.

Why do they have to put politics into everything?
Politics has permeated every aspect of our lives. You can't even take the sun without some communist trying to tell you to stop and wear a mask.
What happened to America?

So now we know.....
David Chase the creator of the Sopranos has let the cat out of the bag. In a story in the New York Post it is reported that he called the famous last scene as the "Death Scene."
Spoiler alert: In the roundtable discussion, co-author Alan Sepinwall asked Chase, “When you said there was an end point, you don’t mean Tony at Holsten’s [the diner], you just meant, ‘I think I have two more years’ worth of stories left in me.’ ”
Then Chase, 74, dropped the bombshell: “Yes, I think I had that death scene around two years before the end … But we didn’t do that.”
Noticing his epic leak, co-author Matt Zoller Seitz chimed in: “You realize, of course, that you just referred to that as a death scene.”
“F - - k you guys,” replied Chase upon realizing his blunder."
It has long been speculated that Tony was hit by the guy at the counter who went into the bathroom to get the gun. Chase finally admitted that was the case even though he tried to make it be ambiguous so you could read it any way you wanted.The prequel to the series has been filmed and will come out next year with James Gandolfini's son playing the young Tony.
Can't wait.

The Many Saints of Newark
I always have to multitask when I do something. Write while I am listening to music. Listen to a podcast while I am doing the laundry. Most of all I have to have something on to listen to while I am cooking.
Sometimes it's music. But sometimes it YouTube videos. Almost always I get caught in a Soprano's loop. One clip after another. To the point that I have the series almost memorized. Still it is still fascinating and I can watch it over and over again. The reason why I like it is that it gets these guys right. No Martin Scorsese or Coppola bullshit but the down and dirty assholes like I used to know.
The reason they get it right is of course the writers. David Chase and Terry Winter to be precise. Now they had the great idea to do a prequel. A movie set in the years before the series when the Mafia really held sway. The years that I grew up. The sixties and the seventies. The new movie is called "The Many Saints of Newark" and it will be out this year in September.
It is going to be really interesting how they cast the characters with new actors. The focus of the show is not going to be Tony Soprano. He is a background player and what is interesting is that he is played by James Gandolfini's son Michael. He is pictured with Jon Bernthal who played the "Punisher" on Netflicks who has the role of Johnny Soprano who was Tony's father. Here he is with Vera Farmiga who plays Livia Soprano:
I am really looking forward to it. It should be a lot of fun.
It takes me back.

The Bada Bing is no more!
Famed ‘Sopranos’ strip club is shut down
December 18, 2017
The New Jersey strip club featured as the seedy hangout on HBO’s “The Sopranos” went bust in real-life over the weekend
Satin Dolls in Lodi was forced to sideline its naked ladies — and cease all other live “entertainment” — under a court order that shutters the jiggle joint for allegedly hiding money from the state, sources said Monday.
The strip club on Route 17 — which appeared as the “Bada Bing” in the hit mobster series — must either sell or transfer its liquor licenses by Jan. 3, according to a court order filed by state Attorney General Christopher Porrino and the Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control.
Owners of the nightspot allegedly hid cash from the state and allowed reputed mob associate Anthony “Tony Lodi” Cardinalle to run the place, according to the court order.
