Hopefully there will be plenty of Italian Americans protesting outside theaters when this is released. Not because people like me are against the Soprano’s rather protesting the double standard and hypocrisy.

Your comment reminds me of an old Mad magazine when the movie “Bugsy” came out:

Man in theater: “It’s great to finally see a movie where mobsters have names like ‘Siegel, Cohen, and Lansky’”

Other man: “Oh, are you interested in the history of this time?”

Man in theater: “No, I’m Italian!”

I'm not sure I understand what you are getting at. Are you saying that the movie contributes to a stereotype that "all Italians are mobsters"?

I agree. With so much that the Italian people have given the world Hollywood instead glorifies these asocial murdering parasites who produce no wealth, render no useful service and who degrade and destroy everything they come in contact with.
