Dying to buy “The Sopranos” bluray set but it keeps getting sold out of copies at amazon…

Leave a comment

I was gonna order the Sopranos BluRay set from Amazon which is priced $80. Each time I’m ready to order it and think I’m ready to order it, the set keeps getting sold out. When they get some more copies in later, it keeps getting sold out. Really weird but understandable since the show is still extremely popular even after all these years. Even though the show was aired on HBO in the late 90’s, I’m sure the show is the most streamable show on Amazon Prime and HBO NOW.

Now that the new streaming service HBO MAX is here, I’m sure the show will be the most streamable on there too. The show is still a big hit and The Sopranos DVDs and BluRay sets are still selling pretty big.

The show is still so freakin’ popular that fans begged creator David Chase to create a sequel or a reboot but he says neither will happen. As a way to make fans happy, that sparked the idea for David Chase to create the prequel film “The Many Saints of Newark” which stars Michael Gandolfini who plays the young, Tony Soprano in it.

That prequel film to the Sopranos was in the works but it’s on hold right now ’cause of covid-19 so the film’s release date was pushed back even further which sucks. I’m looking forward to it, though. The film’s got an all-star cast with Ray Liotta, Corey Stohl and Jon Bernthal. The film will focus on the story of the 1967 riots that I’m  sure was brought up in the TV show.

It was smart to cast Mike Gandolfini as the young Tony Soprano ’cause he looks exactly like a young Tony Soprano. Will Mike be able to nail Tony’s speaking voice? Probably. I’m sure he’ll knock it out of the park. While the prequel film will focus on the 1967 riots, I’m sure the film will lead up to the TV show like how the Dimeo family was formed and hopefully it’ll show how Tony and Carmella met. I’m sure the show will definitely show how Christoher’s dad, Dickie Moltisanti was killed since Dickie is featured in the prequel film. If the prequel film ever gets out, I’m sure it’ll be a box office smash. People still love the Sopranos even after all these years.

I’m dying to buy the boxset to the show, though. I want to add this show to my BluRay collection ’cause it’s one of those shows you can watch over and over. It’s an addicting show.

I don’t think “Game of Thrones” is over for good… it could get turned into a film series… don’t worry fans…

Leave a comment

I didn’t watch the final season of Game of Thrones since I don’t have HBO. I wish I could watch it on TV like everyone else but since I can’t afford HBO, I just buy all the seasons on DVD/BluRay. I do have all 7 seasons on DVD/BluRay. I have the first 6 seasons on DVD and season 7 on BluRay but I will get the final season which is Season 8 on BluRay when it comes out for sure.

Anyhow, I’m not upset that the show “Game of Thrones” has ended on TV. That’s on TV but for the big screen? Over the years there have always been talks of a big screen “Game of Thrones” movie so don’t rule that out yet, folks. Sure, George R.R. Martin didn’t finish the sixth book “The Winds of Winter” yet so HBO didn’t make it in time to adapt “The Winds of Winter” book into the show. I’m thinking though that “The Winds of Winter” which is book six could get made into a big screen movie for Hollywood.

Over thee years, there were other hit TV shows that got made into big screen movies especially shows like “Star Trek”, “Sex In the City”, “Mission Impossible”, “The Addams Family”, “The A-Team”, “The Dukes of Hazzard”, “Charlie’s Angels”, “The Muppets”, “The X-Files” and the list goes on.

Could the same happen for “Game of Thrones”??? Yes, absolutely. I haven’t seen the final episode of “GOT” yet but I’m sure the ending left open for more in the future. The “Game of Thrones” movie may not happen right away ’cause I hear the writers for “Game of Thrones” will be writing their Star Wars trilogy next so a “Game of Thrones” movie may take a while. I can see the cast and crew of “Game of Thrones” reuniting for a big screen movie years from now. We’ll have to wait until George finishes book 6 and then maybe they’ll make it into a movie. That’s probably what’s gonna happen.

I do love “Game of Thrones”, though. Always did. I’ve been with them since the beginning and still a loyal fan now. I didn’t watch the final season yet so I will wait for the BluRay release which could come out later this year hopefully.

Maybe it is a good time to end “Game of Thrones” on HBO but still, a big screen movie is a possibility…

Leave a comment

I’ve watched “Game of Thrones – Season 7” over the weekend, and I thought it was the best season in the series so far. Some big shockers this season. I watched the season pretty quick ’cause there were only 7 episodes this season instead of the usual 10. I won’t reveal big spoilers of Season 7, of course. You probably already know everything that happened this Season since spoilers are a huge problem on the internets anyways, lol.

Anyways, maybe it is a good time to end “Game of Thrones” on HBO ’cause why? Many of the series actors and actresses are starting to become big movie stars. They’re becoming bigger than the show itself… most notably actors such as Jason Momoa (who played Drogo in the first season), Emilia Clarke and Peter Dinklage. Those three have been starring in some pretty big movies on the big screen lately. There are other actors in the series who have been getting some pretty big movie roles lately. For example, the guy who plays Jaime Lannister who goes by the name of Nikolaj Coster-Waldau can be seen in movies like “Oblivion” and “Gods of Egypt”, the woman who plays Brienne Maid of Tarth who goes by the name of Gwendoline Christie can be seen as Cpt. Phasma in Star Wars “7 & 8”, the guy who plays Little Finger whose real name is Aidan Gillan can be seen in “King Arthur: Legend of the Sword”, Sansa Stark whose real name is Sophie Turner was Jean Grey in “X-Men: Apocalypse” and I’m sure you’ll recognize GOT stars in other films too.

It loos like the actors in the cast want to move on to other projects. The show helped the actors & actresses make a name for themselves. You won’t miss the cast at all as they’ll always be around.

Anyhow, I can’t see GOT ending for good. Maybe they’ll do a reunion season sometime in the future or a big screen movie. I prefer a big screen movie ’cause there has been a lot of talk of a GOT featured film over the years… I can see that happening. It wasn’t the first time big TV shows got turned into big screen movies most notably: “Star Trek”, “Sex In the City”, “Mission Impossible”, “The A-Team”, “Charlie’s Angels”, “The X-Files” and many others. That can happen with Game of Thrones too. A big screen “Game of Thrones” movie would be cool.

GOT’s is a great series, though. I’ve been with them from the very beginning and I still watch. Looking forward to the final season which we won’t see until next year. Now if only George R.R. Martin would hurry up and release book 6 already!!!

Why we gotta wait for Game of Thrones – Season 8 the final season in 2019? Is it so HBO can give George R.R. Martin time to release “The Winds of Winter”???? Yes, probably!

Leave a comment

Well HBO announced when the final Season of “Game of Thrones” which will be Season 8 to be premiered sometime in 2019. No official release date confirmed yet, but I believe there is a pretty good reason for that. They want to give George R. R. Martin more time to finish up Song of Ice and Fire – Book 6 “The Winds of Winter” so I think that book is probably gonna come out sometime this year.

HBO wants to give George some time to finish up the book, release it, give fans some time to read it and the writers can quickly write the scripts for 10 episodes before filming begins. They have plenty of time to get it all done. The book will definitely be out before the final season and I can’t wait.

I’m a HUGE fan of the books and the HBO TV series. I’ve read all the books so far and saw all the seasons except for Season 7 which I’m about to start this weekend. I have Season 7 on BluRay.

Yeah, George R. R. Martin is a pretty liberal guy politically and the actors of the show are all liberals but who cares. They’re still good books and good shows. I don’t care about the creators political views. I try to keep politics and entertainment separate as best as possible. I don’t live in a bubble like most conservatives.

When George releases “The Winds of Winter” this year, you can betcha I’ll go to Barnes and Noble to pick up a copy right away. I bought book 5 “A Dance With Dragons” as soon as it came out. When will “The Winds of Winter” finally come out? Hopefully it’ll come out in the Spring/Summer time. I’m probably gonna end up re-reading all the Song of Ice and Fire books before it comes out.

This is still a good series. I’m still loyal to “Game of Thrones”. Never gave up on them. It’s disappointing that HBO wants to end GOT at Season 8, but everybody the cast and crew probably wants to move on and I can’t blame them. They spent half of their lives working on this show.

What I liked about the Milo and Bill Maher interview on HBO…

Leave a comment

When it was said that Bill Maher just booked Milo Yiannopoulos for his “Real Time” show on HBO for a special interview segment, it’s been expected by Trump supporters that Milo was gonna send Bill to smackdown hotel. Ya know, Milo give Bill a verbal beatdown but many Trump supporters were disappointed that the interview didn’t turn out to be that way. Instead, Milo and Bill were very nice and friendly to each other. The debate turned out to be very “civilized” which to me is amazing.

Trump supporters seem disappointed in Milo for this but I think this is great. Ya know? I think heated debates and controversial political discussions are getting old and tiresome. It doesn’t hurt to get along for once. Yes, it is very possible that a conservative can get along with a liberal quite well and this is proof of it.

While Bill Maher is a very liberal guy, I have no problem with him. Bill is actually one of the very few liberals who is actually pretty cool. Why? Probably because Bill is more tolerant to others views and beliefs. Watch his show for proof on that. Bill has interviewed other conservatives on his show lots of times and he allowed them to speak their minds.

This is what a civilized liberal vs. conservative debate looks like, folks. Tolerance. We need more of it especially online.

Everyone wants to view Milo as this “controversial” person but once you actually see him, you’ll be disappointed that he turned out not controversial at all. You’ll immediately see that Milo is a likeable person after all. Milo seems like a nice guy and down to earth to me. I don’t see how Milo is “controversial”. He just a Trump supporter like the rest of us. Milo is just speaking all the same things we’ve all been thinking.

I’m tired of the media and liberals trying to paint conservatives as “controversial” when we are not actually that at all. We’re just regular people just like you and me. Enough with the labelling.

I think Bill looks surprised when he saw that Milo isn’t “controversial”, you can tell by the look on Bill’s face. Bill is looking at Milo like: “Woah, this is not the Milo that I thought he was”. They ended up being friendly together.

This was a great interview. I really enjoyed it. I’m a huge fan of Milo. I’m not gay at all, I’m perfectly straight but I just admire how he’s not afraid to speak his mind however he wants to. Milo is the shit. I’ll be buying his book when it comes out this year for sure.

Even Emilia Clarke is getting frustrated with all the sex scenes in “Game of Thrones”…

Leave a comment

Many fans of “Game of Thrones” have complained that the show has gone overboard with the sex scenes of the show which is true. I too believe HBO has over done it with the sex scenes. There are not only sex scenes with hetero couples but there are plenty of gay sex scenes in a few seasons as well. That’s all the show has ever been lately… sex, sex, sex. Naked women all over.

Emilia decided that she finally had it and now she’s speaking out about it.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3233239/SEBASTIAN-SHAKESPEARE-Game-Thrones-star-Emilia-Clarke-t-stand-sex-scenes.html

While she does bring up some good points and I agree with her but didn’t she just do a nude scene for her Broadway play, “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”???? Does this make her a hypocrite a little bit?

I do agree that GOT should tone it down on the sex, though but they won’t. They gotta keep their fan base somehow.

Why I now refuse to watch that Kurt Cobain documentary “Montage of Heck”…

Leave a comment

Ya know, I used to be interested in that Kurt Cobain documentary “Montage of Heck” on HBO but not anymore. After reading some of the reviews of the film, I have noticed that in the film, Courtney tries to make herself look like a great wife to Kurt and a good mother to Frances Bean. That’s her goal with this film. She’s trying to make herself look good to the American public. She’s trying to give herself a huge ego boost with the film by trying to get the American public to forgive her. The reality is that Courtney wasn’t a good wife to Kurt and wasn’t a good Mom to Frances. Courtney was trash, she always has been. Kurt and Courtney never got along. Before Kurt allegedly took his own life, Kurt and Courtney were always fighting.

So for you Nirvana fans getting all excited for “Montage of Heck”, don’t watch it. If you want a more realistic look on Kurt Cobain watch the other documentary “Kurt & Courtney” by Nick Broomfield which is streamable for Netflix too.

I still believe Kurt didn’t commit suicide and still believe he was murdered and it was covered up. I think Courtney released this movie hoping to silence all the conspiracy theorists out there and she’s just trying to protect herself. Anything released by Courtney Love is not to be trusted and not to be believable. Sorry but Courtney is still not forgiven, not by me anyway. She needs to come clean about Kurt’s death and she has a lot of explaining to do but if she won’t talk then she won’t get my respect.

I think she had Kurt killed just so she can get famous and get her band Hole out there. She’s an evil woman.

Before Kurt’s death, he never seemed suicidal. From all the old interviews I’ve seen in youtube, he seemed pretty happy and down to earth. Nirvana was just beginning work on a new record after “In Utero”. There’s no doubt in my mind that Kurt was totally murdered. I’ll always stand by that.

Kurt Cobain’s documentary, “Montage of Heck” trailer is here…

I’m a huge Nirvana fan. Always have been ever since I was in high school. I first became obsessed with Nirvana right when the “Smells Like Teen Spirit” video aired on TV and then I went out and bought the “Nevermind” album. I couldn’t stop listening to that album and I’ve always been a fan of Nirvana ever since. At the time when “Nevermind” first came out, I think I was in about 7th or 8th grade when I was in junior high. My love for Nirvana stopped and I still love the band now. I still have that same Nirvana “Nevermind” CD that I bought when I was just a teen. Never got rid of it and it’s still in my CD collection.

Looking forward to this movie. I can’t watch it since I don’t have HBO anymore but I’m actually thinking about subscribing to that “HBO Now” streaming service when they get it out in April. Not sure I’ll do it or not but thinking about it.

Anyway, I’m probably gonna get the BluRay to this movie when it comes out so I’ll watch it then for sure.

“Game of Thrones – Season 5” trailer is here!

1 Comment

Season 5 looks pretty good! I can’t watch it ’cause I don’t have HBO anymore. Got rid of it. I just wait for all the seasons to come out on DVD.

I still haven’t even seen Season 4 yet but that will be coming out on DVD sometime at the end of Feb. so I’ll get it then.

The song in the trailer is David Bowie’s “Heroes” but it’s not David Bowie himself singing. It’s a band called TV On the Radio doing a cover of it.

I love GOT, though. Of course, the books are WAY better.

Bill Maher calls liberals who cry “Freedom of Speech” a bunch of babies and I agree!!!

Leave a comment

I’m not a big fan of Bill Maher of Real Time on HBO but this is a good speech and a good message! This guy is another one who has a lot of balls and not afraid to call out liberals. What he’s saying here is that he’s calling out the libtards hypocrisy about bullying.

I love what he said here:

“Liberals hate bullying, all right. But they’re not opposed to using it. When they casually throw out words like “bigot” and “racist,” it does cow people into avoiding this debate. And if you’re doing that, you don’t get to wear the #JeSuisCharlie button. The button you should wear says #JeSuisPartOfTheProblem. […] This may surprise you, but I am not a big fan of Rush Limbaugh. However, if you’re one of the people with a website devoted to making him go away, you are part of the problem. And ironically, you’re not even a proper liberal because you don’t get free speech. You’re just a baby who can’t stand to live in a world where you hear things that upset you”

Bill has a pretty good point that liberals who claim to be against bullies in high school and bullies against gays and all that stuff when liberals are the ones doing all the bullying when they get disagreed with in their political views. Libtards do all the bullying toward conservatives for criticizing their precious Obama & Hillary. Libtards do all the bullying when they’re disagreed with on gay marriage and gun control.

So libtards cry “freedom of speech” when they’re called out on their bullshit??? HA! FUCK YOU!

I love it when people whine about their comments getting deleted on my blog and whine about me not letting them post anything. Then they cry “freedom of speech” when they won’t let me have any. They knock pretty much everything I say on my site. They won’t respect my opinions on Obama, gay marriage, all the Trayvon Martin/Michael Brown stuff, etc. I can go on. I usually get a lot of flak for my political views by libtards. It seems that libtards are allowed to have “freedom of speech” but conservatives like me get into a lot of trouble for our views. It’s bullshit though.

Are libtards really against bullying when the reality is that they are the bullies themselves? This is called liberal intolerance. Bill is right is that libtards calling conservatives “bigots” and “racists” is bullying. I get called that stuff by libtards all the time yet they claim to be against bullying in high school and bullying against gays. They are definitely not proper “liberals” even though they claim they are.

Liberals do get upset when they’re disagreed with absolutely. Bill Maher is getting my respect lately and I think I’m a new fan of his.
