Woke up this morning, watched myself a film.

Yes, 14 years after HBO’s groundbreaking drama series “The Sopranos” aired its final episode — controversial to this day — its movie prequel “The Many Saints of Newark” premiered Wednesday in New York.

Fans packed every seat of the Beacon Theatre, and the dress code was “business.” Some ticketholders interpreted that as Tony Soprano-style tracksuits. They must’ve thought the invite said “family business.”

A story for your “Saints of Newark” ping list.

Is that any different than fans of Rocky Horror Picture Show showing up in fishnet stockings?

I can't wait to see this film.

Haven’t heard the background song ‘Money’ since the 80’s.

[Chad C. Mulligan]

I don’t understand this lionization of a family of criminals.

Or maybe I do, but it’s an ugly story. Part and parcel of the decline of America.

Tough for Tony to find a pair to fit on the spur of the moment.

Who would he bring to the ball? Carm? I'm betting Malfi.

Where’s the gabagool?

All In The Family was the last TV show I watched outside of news—mainly local news.

[dfwgator]

I’ll wait for the 3-minute version on The Pax Network.

Wish he’d bring Charmaine. I would have taken her over Carm anyday.

[Wilderness Conservative]

The whole family should have gotten whacked at the end. What a disappointment.

It's a genetic issue...

[enumerated]

Yes, but was it one of several good episodes, or was it one of the fifty-or-so unwatchable episodes featuring Tony’s ugly sister, or one of the countless beyond-boing episodes featuring the crime boss spilling the beans to a female shrink?

Curing in the cellar...along with the bodies waiting to be dumped.

[Lurker]

That’s the best 4 minutes in cinematic history.

“Haven’t heard the background song ‘Money’ since the 80’s.”

Greatest bass intro of all time.

[circlecity]

Wonder when it opens on HBO Max.

[EEGator]

It is absolutely outstanding.

A very young James Gandolfini is in that flick.
