Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

open it in incognito and stop it after it loads.

[Jorge]

Are you suggesting it’s some sort of regional thing?

What the hell

I don’t believe that’s true, at least here in America. Visitors are limited to a certain number of free articles, but they don’t have to register an account

This is mostly true. I signed up for the free account and when I went to read this article, it tells me I have reached my limit of free articles.

Did anyone see the deadwood movie?

I liked it. I can only really remember Jane being brilliant in it

Have to watch again

I've never seen West Wing. Is it really that good?

The fact that it's included in the title of this thread annoys me every time I see it. It's nowhere near the same league as the other three shows.

It's a great celebration of the show and I really love it.

Has anyone watched The Sopranos movie yet? I'm hoping to watch it this weekend. I have high hopes.

It was fantastic. A perfect coda to the show.

My fault. They’re my favourite shows and I had notions about this being a discussion about themes across all I had very probably imagined.
Now it’s just somehwere to have them altogether.

It's fine. I'm biased anyway. I hated The Newsroom so much that it soured me on all Sorkin.

[JuanHamm]

I also don't think any show can touch Deadwood, Sopranos or The Wire. TV peaked with those three shows in my opinion.

It's crazy to think they were just about all on at the same time.

Same!

Even A Few Good Men?

Absolutely. Some fantastic performances, which was to be expected, but still.

That’s the magic. That never happens really.

We’re just lucky to be part of that and have been there. Rather than thinking the 75 offshoots of CSI were TVs peak

Watched the Melfi gets raped episode last night. Found it way over the top and unnecessary, like they were trying to be edgy or something.

I get wanting to set up the moral dilemma she has to make at the end of the episode, but that could have been done in any number of ways.

Early Sopranos does try a little too hard a couple of times
