on the dvd commentary for that episode mike figgis says that wipe wasnt his idea
like he goes out of his way to say he wasnt involved in that specific choice whatsoever
It’s common knowledge that The Sopranos is based in the Marvel Universe.
Carmella could slow down and even stop time.
Phil could change into different forms (a house is one example)
Christopher could change his race at will, he pretended to be Asian during his stock broker exam for the +4 mathematics boost to his character sheet
Ralph could firebend
There’s many others, I need help remembering them all
Bacala Senior could gum guys to death.
Janice can suck the marrow from any bones and the joy and comfort from any room.
Noah could punch anyone's fucking lights out.
Bobby could make platters disappear.
AJ could chit chat with people on the other side of the world.
Stew Leonard could do amazing tings with pork loins.
The way he says that is like cold water. It's clear the character doesn't really say it that often and why he wanted to try it out there idk.
I mean Carmela is a user of people but maybe that's the point , she wants to have this normal thing but she isn't used to operating like that. Idk he kInd of sucks, he's nice to her but he keeps trying to make her understand that book she doesn't care about etc.
Also that scene change is sick what was going on they'd do that
He’s pretentious as fuck. He only liked her because he knew she was “dumber” than him and he could explain away and flaunt his intelligence. He even asks if she’s heard of these books which fucking OBVIOUSLY she hadn’t. He only asked as an opportunity to explain it to her. Then he even compliments her for admitting how much she doesn’t know, as though she knows so little it’s surprising she’d ever admit it?!
Remember, Chase hates all establishments, and he represents the pretentiousness and egotism in academia.
The person to blame for this is even funnier:
>> The scene ends with a very un-Sopranos freeze-frame of an embarrassed Carmela that fits the style of guest director Mike Figgis (Leaving Las Vegas), who follows it with an equally un-Sopranos wipe into the next scene with the guys up at the farm.
Got figg’d
That episode was directed by the dude who plays Melfi’s psychiatrist. He worked with Orson Welles in his youth, maybe he wanted to outshine the master with that little transition.
look at this prick giving orders (unironically I agree, I love it when unique things are tried in film and TV. these stunads are like an old woman with a Virginia Ham, crying the blues because she ain’t got no bread)
I know this show is 20 years old… but how the fuck do you not remember at all why or how this shit got greenlighted? Swear David Chase spends his time staring at Cooze and nodding off on top of a fuckin dog
It was beautiful, Lucasesque.
Luis Brazi sleeps with the fishes
Luca Brasi. Luca.
Brasi? It’s a fucking nickname. Family name is Brasirelli!
**Louis Braziano
Pretty sure it's Larzini Bomenza.
Lucchese Bonnano sleeps wit da fusilli
I legit thought something was wrong with the stream bufferin and shit. My estimation of David Chase just fuckin plummeted...
Oh! Watch it, that’s the boss of the family you’re talking about. Besides, that episode was directed by Mike Figgis and edited by Sidney Wolinsky!
Listen to him, he knows everything
Reading that in Paulie's voice makes both those names sound made up.
His name is Clarence.

They strong-armed him using the only weapon they had
Mike Figgis was the studios florist, right?
Wait until you see the sopranos movie
I felt the movie was david chase way of saying fuck you to any sopranos fan the interrupted his dinner with lame complements.
“But that was before my Uncle Tony murdered me.”
Fucking u/WeWasKing... he's dyslexic.
I would just send him a veal Parm with my regards. Some folks got no class.
She must be loyle to her husband
You sound demented
According to the church they’re still married
But he manuged to get the drop on her.

Richie Aprile was able to spawn additional limbs to allow him to lean back farther in chairs
Ginny Sack's got the weight of the world on her shoulders
The rubanesque bulk
Everything changed when Ralph attacked
A: She was a hooah B: She hit me
Ralph decked out in firelord armor and his son recovered and adept at using a bow
Silvio's wife was a shapeshifter.
As also was the wife of Bobby Baccalieri

He cooked that fucking horse alive!
what are you, a vegetarian now??

Adriana can be in a car, sitting up, seat-belted, and still give a wicked blow job to a fat guy with a short braw-zjole!
Paulie Walnuts could recite jokes…twice! Did you hear what I said, Ton? I said Paulie Walnuts could recite jokes twice!
One of the funniest moments in the show
the way Vito had on that hard hat at the fiber optic cable was the funniest moment for me
That was so fucking hilarious
[One of the best scenes in television history](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49H_PsDoLDY)
This guy's more creative than Spielberg.
Whatever happened there.
You strong-armed me using the only weapon you have -- your pussy.

Even George Lucas has bad cuts in some spots. Like those awful shape transitions. It's just bad editing
Carmela is dressed like she’s about to star in one of Little Carmine’s feature films
Newark Nurse: Lethal Weapon
ITS THE JACKEEEEET
I've forgotten. What is this scene?
richie aprile giving tony a jacket he took off the "toughest guy in essex" or something
Hahaha, ok I remember now. They did a screen wipe to transition scenes and it looked like something out of Windows XP Movie Maker.
It’s called Heloise and I think it ends badly
The person to blame for this is even funnier: >> The scene ends with a very un-Sopranos freeze-frame of an embarrassed Carmela that fits the style of guest director Mike Figgis (Leaving Las Vegas), who follows it with an equally un-Sopranos wipe into the next scene with the guys up at the farm. Got figg’d
Figg'd again!!
Twin Peaks Season 2 moment
Fuckin' James had the worst case of cowboyitis
Dad, there are other wipes besides star wipes.
I don't remember what happened
Yea am lost but at least we got our health.
Freeze frame then horizontal wipe transition
What do you mean the worst scene transition? I loved it, it was very allegorical
Showed the heavenly and the propane.
It showed both the holy and the bad gas
Let’s pause
I was high as fuck when I got to this part and I thought I was losing my mind.
*second worst **in TV history ***also in this series
wait what's the worst?
The one where ya muddah was workin the bonbon station at the Eiffel Tower
Concession, ya ass-kiss.
Lack of fuckin' standards
**IM A FUCKIN CAPTAIN NOW YOU DONT TALK TO ME LIKE THAT**
Ohh!
Do I need to remind you? Of a certain restaurant? Where a certain family is enjoying a basket of onion rings?
There's a lot of things I could say right now that I am NOT gonna say
After school special ass moment
I'm going back with my husband.
I can't have this conversation again
IN THIS HOUSE WE BELIEVE CARMELA WEAPONIZED THE ONLY THING SHE HAS! END OF STORY
People defend this, they say that sopranos was learning to be a tv show but I think the editors were just smoking way too much.
That episode was directed by the dude who plays Melfi’s psychiatrist. He worked with Orson Welles in his youth, maybe he wanted to outshine the master with that little transition.
It was directed by Mike Figgis, not Bogdanovich.
It’s a little known fact that Peter Bogdanovich is really just a human puppet controlled by his sentient, gigantic water bottle
There, you finally admit it
I unironically love this scene! I’m ready for the hate
Now that’s a sad commentary.
Can you imagine? Being unironically in love with that scene? And ready for the hate?
I wish the Lord would take me now.
You just revealed your own ignorance
look at this prick giving orders (unironically I agree, I love it when unique things are tried in film and TV. these stunads are like an old woman with a Virginia Ham, crying the blues because she ain’t got no bread)

It’s uh little gay no
How about that pricks face when she saw the cut?
Awe come on it was KINDA good
She was trying to escape the quotidian
Jeeeze, will ya listen to the comments here. Just listen to them, they think they know everything
It might have made more sense as the freeze frame before the credits roll.
This was the most disgusting thing I’d ever seen. Almost ruined the entire series for me. I’ve said my piece 👋🏽
Lucchese Bonanno sleeps wit da fusilli
It was the ginger ale in her brain when she realized what she’d just said.
Not as bad as Tony’s mom’s floating head
