Tony belting Zellman (Christ killer)

1 Upvotes

Is there any correlation with Paulie calling Zellman a Christ killer when at dinner with Johnny Sack and Tony using a belt on Zellman not long after? Obviously with Jesus being lashed etc.

edit Obviously I know Tony's motivations for beating Zellman with Irina etc, was just thinking maybe Chase slipped the belt thing as he does with other stuff.

[Meme] Why isn’t there a Latin American version of the sopranos?

49 Upvotes

As some of you know, there is a Colombian remake of Breaking Bad called Metastasis which is essentially a shot for shot remake of the original show. The setting is different and characters names are translated. For example Walter White is Walter Blanco (blanco is the Colombian word for white). But for the most part the story and plot is the exact same.

My question is, why isn’t there a Latin American version of the sopranos yet? It could be set in Bogota. Christopher could be Cristiano, paulie could be Pablo, Pussy could be Gato, and uncle Jun could be Tío jr. Furio could be “Enojado” and he could be a Spanish bullfighter from Andalucia.

Instead of running a college football sports book they could take bets on Colombian “futball” (Colombian for “American soccer”). Silvio could get some Latina strippers from across the border who are trying to escape Venezuela. Instead of eating gabagool all the time they could eat chorizo.

Anyway I think this is a pretty good idea and it could be funny. Why hasn’t David chase thought of it yet? Is he stupid?

Do you guys think Michael Jackson was actually a child molester?

I’m 50/50 on it. On one hand it’s weird for an adult man to hang out with a bunch of kids. But on the other hand people say he was like a child in an adult’s body himself

I know who killed Tony

0 Upvotes

I think that Tony was killed when it cut to black. What with the members only jacket, and seemingly nobody left who would want to kill Tony, it occurred to me that the one person who hated him with a passion was Eugene’s wife, Deanne. I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone suspect her.

The parts you always skip over

0 Upvotes

Apart from the rape, tracee or Adrianna’s death, What are some moments you skip over because it’s too much? For me it’s the two times the fbi being in Adriana and really put the screws to her. The feeling of hopelessness is too much. I feel so bad for her.

Another is when coco gets curb stomped.

[Serious Discussion Only] When would you say the sopranos gets good/entertaining?

0 Upvotes

Recently decided to watch the sopranos after seeing people keep recommending it and comparing it to shows like breaking bad and better call Saul and also saying the sopranos is better/on the same level as those shows. I found those two shows to extremely interesting since the beginning but I’m currently on episode four of the sopranos and I just think it’s boring. Nothing major/entertaining is happening and to be honest I don’t see how anyone would say this show is good. The best I can see it being is alright and rewatching a different show would be more enjoyable.

was hugh evil?

9 Upvotes

not that carmela wasn’t evil in her own way by being Tony’s enabler but her father stealing all of the materials from the spec house while Tony was in his potential death bed and then initially acting like he had no clue what she was talking about seems like a pretty evil thing to do

The audacity of that cunt... She instantly replies, "And I think you should see a weight loss specialist". Bobby should've sent that blue whale to the shadow realm by "You should look in the mirror sometime, you insensitive cocksucka". End of story!

What would have happened if Tony went to Clown College instead of Seaton Hall?

Think about it, Tony describes himself as a sad clown to Melfi, clearly showing a certain inner desire to be a Circus Carny instead of the boss of a glorified crew

Would Ralphie have faced repercussions if the rest of the family knew he likes it up the ass?

18 Upvotes

I feel like Ralph's proclivities don't get enough discussion as a whole, but this a question I don't think I've ever seen brought up in particular.

As we all know, Jun whistling to the wheat field was enough of a fiasco, but taking it up the hoo-ha? Sure, he got Janice to do it, but if cunnilingus is enough to make you question a man, then Ralph might as well be out in New Hampshire with Johnny Cakes.

As a side, it was a fairly smart play by Ralph to tell his crew that it was Janice's idea to play in his ass and that he shot it down.

After killing Ralph’s, why does Tony turn to Chrissy instead of Sil?

125 Upvotes

Was reading through some comments about the best hitman, and a lot of people rightfully pointed out that when Tony is truly in a crisis or needs something done urgently and done well, he turns to Sil. So, after killing Ralphie, why do you think Tony calls Chris for the coverup instead of Sil? One could say it’s because killing someone as high up as Ralphie could cause dysentery among the ranks, but I’m skeptical that Sil would have done this if he was the one let in on the “secret” about Tony killing Ralphie. Please regale me with your thoughts!

"Boca" means "mouth" in Spanish

129 Upvotes

Junior goes down to "Boca" (Boca Raton) and has some conversations with his girlfriend relating to the topic of "mouth."

"Mouth" is a major plot point in that episode, which is titled "Boca." (Using your mouth, and, running your mouth).

Tony makes jokes about this by singing "South of the Border," but this may also point to where people speak Spanish.

I am not aware of any Spanish slang involving the word "Boca," but I can tell you that the Spanish subtitles on HBO for "whistling in the wheatfield" and "Bushman of the Kalahari" translate to "going down to the river" and "diver without an air tank."

[EDIT] the full name Boca Raton is the Rat's Mouth. I left this out because Jimmy doesn't rat for a few more episodes, but someone pointed out that "Ratting someone out doesn't apply just to the cops. In this episode, Bobbi,Carmela, and Tony all rat out Junior for eating pussy, Meadow rats out Coach Hauser to her parents, and Sil rats out Hauser to Artie.  Tony snitches the diddler out to someone who has the authority to arrest him. "

Sopranos/Good fellas crossover

8 Upvotes

In season 1 or 2, Christopher isn’t made yet, he goes into the bakery and the guy makes him wait for ever to get the baked goods.

Christopher ultimately shoots him in the foot

The bakery guy said “ you shot me in the foot!”

Christopher response and says “it happens”

He gets shot in the foot in Goodfellas as Spider.

I’m new to the subreddit, so if this was mentioned don’t shoot me for it😂

What do you think Johnny Sack was like when he was an associate/solider? He’s not the biggest strongest guy. Do you think he was asked to do a lot of heavy work? Or more extortion and union rigging?? Can’t tell much about his dad from context of the show - like if he was also connected or not. Although he does live in Boston now

The Sopranos Hijacked My Brain

This thing of ours has infiltrated my inner monologue

Like today I'm minding my own business getting some sun then I got bitten by a bee, and the first thing that pops in my head is "cocksucker" in Paulie's voice

Then while sitting and enjoying the warm rays the clouds block the sun and then I shout at the clouds "Hoooooo"

The other day I cook some peas but then I overcooked them and I screamed at them "motherfuckin goddamn overcooked peas"

Anyway, $4 a pound

Ever ponder that? Perhaps if Jackie waited for it to ware off, maybe he doesn’t shoot at made guys, and ends up murdered by some of Noah’s relatives that live in a boonton housing project.
