Look, the one Waititi directed is actually solid—honestly one of the better MCU movies in my book. Even the general consensus online backs that up, so this hate feels pretty baseless to me. ☕
I'm looking forward to it. I'm especially curious to see Bale step into a villain role.
Nathan Murphy said:I think you're looking at it wrong. You're talking about how things work in the real world—loyalty and trust—and while Paulie has been by Tony's side longer because they grew up together, that's not my point. If Silvio were a real person, sure, you'd want him in your corner. But I'm not talking about reality; I'm talking about TV. Silvio isn't a great TELEVISION character. He’s not the kind of character you obsess over or really fall in love with. Paulie is a fantastic television character because he’s unpredictable and hilarious. All that paranoia of his—this mobster acting like a hypochondriac—is funny in its own right. I never knew where I stood with Paulie. One minute he’s the worst guy for getting a job done, and the next, he’s the best once he finally snaps and gets serious.
Silvio was good to me at first, but as the show progressed, he stopped offering anything new. He actually dropped to the very bottom of my list regarding the characters surrounding Tony. It's better to stick with Springsteen😁; he’s much better in this series. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1958961/
And btw, this one for Furio was the most reliable guy whenever you actually needed a job done.
Exactly. Silvio hit his peak with that card game scene and when that kid came in to clean up the cheese under him. 😬
For me, Christopher might be the best character outside of Tony. He has some of the absolute best scenes in the whole series, so I'm going to geek out for a second:
That iconic intervention, showing how Tony absolutely loses it over any violence against animals, from horses to dogs. 🤣
In case you missed it, there’s a sequel series out right now that’s massive. It doesn't mess around with all that political correctness nonsense either—in fact, the character Johnny is basically the antithesis of that whole movement. Bottom line: if you’re a fan of The Karate Kid, you’re going to absolutely love Cobra Kai.👍
He’s one of those criminally underrated actors. Back in the late '90s, everyone was calling him the next black Brand. Even his director had this to say about him:
It's a fascinating story, really—just a string of bad luck for Fishburne.
Yep, that specific moment where he just breaks—where he thinks his daughter's husband is going to slap him—is acted so perfectly. It’s heavy, gut-wrenching stuff to watch. I really hope the man picks up another Oscar; even with Boseman gone, he absolutely earned it.
There’s a massive amount of them out of Los Angeles. For me, The Long Goodbye is easily one of my favorites. You can't talk about this without mentioning Heat either—specifically that intense driving sequence with Pacino following De Niro on the freeway during New Dawn Fades. 🙏
Mulholland Drive and The Big Lebowski belong on that list too. 😬
The fight is definitely going to happen. I mean, what else are those two going to do with their time? Once you factor in Fury and AJ, they’re basically the biggest names left in the HW division. Both of them want that massive payday and a legitimate shot at the title again—this matchup is clearly the most logical path for both sides. They can't just sit around waiting for these other two fights to wrap up, can they? If they stall, some other contender could easily jump the line after a big win. Even Usyk is just sitting there, waiting for his opening.
bon, you're barking up the wrong tree with this new weight class talk; Wilder isn't going anywhere, he's staying in the heavyweight division. You’d be better off analyzing how his fight with that fat guy is actually looking.
As for Fury, he's just trolling the media at this point. It feels like a calculated move to crank up the pressure and force the contract signing, maybe because he's secretly losing his mind after being out of the ring for over a year. Word on the street is his camp is still bickering over how to split the purse. Things probably run smooth enough over at Hearn's camp, but with Warren, it's always a mess of red tape and negotiations. That said, Hearn claims they've made massive strides and we should see a deal finalized within the next few days.
It would be a blast if this fight actually gets booked. Looking at the photos, Ruiz looks fit, and I honestly think he’d give Wilder a run for his money. He can't just sit there and try to maintain distance like Joshua does. Besides, that lunatic can catch you with anything at any moment. I'm calling it 60-40 in favor of Ruiz.☕
In my opinion, this is the best of the Cornetto trilogy, though Shaun of the Dead is right up there. I really hope that trio teams up again—I’d even argue The World's End holds its own, even if people tend to rate it lower. I just love that specific style, the music, and the direction.
