bada bing


i figured i'd throw in my two cents on 'the sopranos' finale last night before the blogging moratorium on the subject goes into effect (if it hasn't already).

i'm going to have to watch it again to be sure, but i think i liked it. everyone's opining this morning about its meanings -- i especially enjoyed the pieces on msnbc and sfgate -- and i think there's not much to say other than it was an amazing show, and i really, really hate that it's over. i've never invested the kind of time and energy in tv (well, not in adulthood, anyway) as i have with the hbo shows (not you, 'carnivale' - you bastard), and it's so sad when they end. at least we have 'big love' to look forward to, and judging from 'the flight of the conchords' comedy special available on hbo on demand this month, i can look forward to that, too. i'll report back later on 'john from cincinnati' (was too tired after the pre-sopranos ziti and lambrusco to check it out).

Eight years is such a long time! Remember how we used to watch it together in the Outer Sunset with Mrs. Laliotis's ghost? Ah Tony. I hated you then I loved you then I hated you again. And now you're off on a Journey we'll never get to see.

We thought "John from Cincinnati" was almost unbearable but I tried to remind everyone how awkward and bad "Six Feet Under" was at first, too. My sister was bummed that the surfer family seemed so aggro instead of zen.

Where are your Europe pictures, Robot?

You are so right about 'Six Feet Under' -- I forgot how long that took to catch on with me (or us, I should say -- the Outer Sunset HBO Enthusiasts contingent), and from what I saw of 'John from Cincinatti' -- ick.

Europe pictures will follow, if I someone will free me from the Habitrail!
