borko I know. Same shit every time. They replace Borko’s name with one of the sopranos characters and repeats the line word for word. What a talentless schmuck this guy is. Borko’s furious.
I was just thinking the same, he was bad when lying to Chris and Artie too. This was the worst though, Johnny Sac knew it was bullisht from the beginning which is why *gasp* no imported provolone.
He’s glad that Tony has turned on Johnny now because Pauly hates Johnny since he found out Johnny was playing him. It’s a beautiful, subtle little moment
'Johnny should be out looking for the real killers instead of spending all his time on a golf course' Sil is magnificent. Chase really was right about this man. Sopranos wouldn't be the same without Sil.
Silvio is one of the most beloved characters on the show, which is remarkable considering he committed arguably the show’s most infamous act. But Steven van Zandt is a national treasure.
The show works on location. On set the props are cheap and obvious. Production values not much better than a soap. You wouldn't want to touch the walls in case they wobbled. The actors and dialogue make this show.
I always thought the “My cousin could not have been there that night, Tony B was with me” line told to Johnny Sac sounded SO fake. It was almost the same tone as when he lied to Chris about Adrianna and how he lied to Artie (although technically not a lie) about the fire.
I wonder if Gandolfini was told to make it unconvincing. You can tell Johnny doesn't really believe him with his response, almost like "you really going to lie to me about this?" Tony's dead-eyed stare after Johnny replies seems to me like he's aware he just messed up
It’s especially an insincere lie, since Tony was a selfish sociopath who was only concerned about himself. He never would have gone with someone for something personal and important like that. It would be like if he went with Paulie to check on his Ma. I couldn’t have imagined any of the bosses doing something like that though.
RU-vid to HBO: "Borko couldn't've been uploading copyrighted materials, because he was with me. We were looking for his first dmca'd Sopranos uploads..."
" A lot of things didn't happened that seemed like they happened. The " whatever happened there " jokes didn't become awful. The shineboxes never got into Borko's hands. "
@Jaime D LOL ! I was waiting for you. LOL ! Funny running into you on that podcast. I not too sure if I like it. Steve Shirripa needs to be replaced by Willy Overall or something. Maybe the Asian guy from the Jr.s nursing home... " Oh how the mighty..." And stick to shinebox jokes kid. You do that and I will be happy to call you my own son.
@Jaime D I wanted to do that line so bad (25th hour) and I sent it to Purple but I don't think he understood. Hilarious. " Who da fuhg is this guy ?!!?!?!?! " - " I'll crack your fuhg'n head... Bensonhurst !!!! Bensonhurst !!! " He's ok I guess, but Chrissy will be talk'n and all of the sudden he just busts in and interrupts him - " I'm just saying bc this isn't the first time". "Fuhg Bose. I gotta relationship with beats by dre those two will never have. " Ads have been increasing by triple since this stupid C-19 happened. They are a constant pain in the butt. I didn't know he was from there. Always thought Vegas. I got into a motorcycle wreck years ago. I was actually supposed to put my bike into the storage facility that day. It was really nice out so I figured one last time. Anyway it was wet out and I came around a bend to fast, slammed into the guardrail (breaking my leg) and then hurling me 15 yards into the woods where I hit my head off of some trees & shattering a $1,700 helmet that was supposedly supposed to handle anything possible. Anyway.... lot of broken bones and bedridden for 2 weeks I watched Law & Order the whole time. You have NO idea (unless u watch it too) how many Sopranos characters are in it. It's unreal. Everyone but Tony, Meadow, Paulie, and a couple more. SORRY FOR THE NOVEL.
@Jaime D Oh.. I laid in those woods for 8 hours until people and the police started canvasing the area for me. The dude that found me was a extremely close friend. He died in a motorcycle accident 6 months later.
I can already see how the sit-down between HBO and Borko will go: HBO: "Hear about the Chinese GoT finale? Somehow it was even worse." [LAUGHING] **Borko enters restaurant and walks over to HBO crew sitting in a booth** Borko: "You gonna stop this before it gets outta hand?" HBO: "Not even an email?" Borko: "I'm here because I love this show and respect you for putting it on television." HBO: "Don't pretend you're paying me respect. A Serbian who uploads clips of The Sopranos. You don't even care about copyright infringement up there." Borko: "That's none of your business." HBO: "Your channel - it interferes in my business. You expect me to turn the cheek." Borko: "The clips are good for you. Free publicity." HBO: "I'm sitting here like fucking GoT fans watching the final season waiting for a good episode to be handed down. You were warned, Borko, and still you embarrass me." Borko: "I run my channel my way. What you did was extreme." HBO: "Now you're a copyright judge? I answer to bigger people than you my friend." Borko: "Oh? Like AT&T execs? Wanna take this to their boardroom?" HBO: "This channel of yours we gave a copyright strike...it earns good?" Borko: "Views are coming up." HBO: "Okay - you work for me now." Borko: "Excuse me?" HBO: "Maybe you upload for me for a change." Borko: "You got some set of balls, you know that? Absolutely not." HBO: "I show you my hand, and you slap it away." Borko: "What's the matter with you? Why can't we talk like two regular RU-vidrs anymore, huh?" HBO: "Out. Next time you upload, use an alt account or none at all." Borko: "You don't mean that."
John had a great plan with that imported provolone, anyone who was going to spend time in the can would have enough to last 20 years grilled on the radiator each night.
That shot of tony before he freaks out always stuck with me. It’s like they used an old camera from season 1 or 2 then flipped right back to the season 5 look after that take.
