The Real Ending of the Sopranos

Someone posted the un-aired real ending of the Sopranos:



It is still better than what David Chase came up with.

Slick Hillary Whacks David Chase

David Chase had 8-10 years to come up with a conclusion to his hit series, The Sopranos. After all that time, his big idea was to cop out on a conclusion with a concussive cut to black.

What a horrible way to go out and I think his choice was disrespectful of his viewers. That's not good story telling.

Some people think that with the recent flashbacks of Bacala's (sp?) discussion of being shot, that Tony was whacked. But David Chase gave the viewer absolutely no grounds for knowing what happened to the characters at the moment the screen went dark.

My interpretation is that Chase was having a little joke with the viewers. It wasn't Tony who was whacked at that moment. It was the audience.

And, ultimately, my guess, is DVD sales. It will be a long time before I would even want to watch any of the shows again, knowing that it ends on such an existentially disappointing and unsatisfying beat.

And, then along comes Hillary's parody:




I enjoyed Mr. Clinton's line about the onion rings. It would have been even better if he payed homage to AJ's famous quote from the first episode: "What?! No #$%^in' ziti?!" But, you know, in a family-friendly way.

Mrs. Clinton is still cold, clammy, and creepy. Johnny Sac's menacing glare must represent the scorn and distrust that male voters have for Hillary. But kudos to her and her team for creating an entertaining video that puts David Chase to shame.

Sopranos Reading Assignment

The Smithsonian Magazine conducts an interview with the chief of the FBI's organized crime unit about the history of the mafia. Apparently, he doesn't watch The Sopranos. With his background, he doesn't need to.

It's Baaaaack!

The Sopranos will start April 8th! I had read that it was bumped back until June.

The trailer looks pretty good:
