Clemenza was a Capo in the family, and one of the closest advisors to the Don. But even he wasn't above cooking for the guys.
It wasn't necessarily a sign of disrespect to be the one cooking for the guys, especially when they have gone to the mattresses. Someone's got to do it, and there probably isn't any women in there. So if you can make a good sauce, that you can do it for the guys.
Brandon was far and away the biggest star heading into this movie. He's the title character and is the central character in every scene he's in. And he got top billing. So if the producers want to submit him as the lead actor, then he is.
Yes I do. And in the fictional Soprano universe they mention John Gotti several times. Thus meaning that the John Gotti we know IRL also existed in the Sopranos fictional universe, and was either identical or very similar to the real life one. So the very valid question stands: could Tony Soprano have actually met John Gotti?
Very lazy effort on your part.
C) They had strong connections to the family. Tony's father and uncle were capos. And Jackie's brother was a made guy.
D) No shots were fired.
E) The right people got most of their money back.
Yes there were two DeLoreans in 1885. But no they could not have used the other one to get back to 1985. Before I explain lets clarify which DeLorean is which.
1) The DeLorean that Doc was flying that was struck by lightning and sent back to January 1st, 1885. When Marty arrives in 1885 Doc has already hidden it in the old mine shaft, and prepared for it to be found 70 years later.
2) Is the DeLorean that Marty and Doc pulled from the mine in 1955, repair, and Marty takes to 1885 to rescue Doc. But then an arrow tears the fuel line and it leaks all its gas out. This is also the one that does eventually go back to 1985 and is destroyed by the train.
Now the question is, why couldn't Marty and Doc use #1 to go back to 1985, and leave #2 in the mine shaft? Well several reasons. First, Doc had probably spent weeks getting #1 in the mine and properly covered and sealed in. It would have taken as much time to dig out #1, cover and seal #2, then redo the chamber in the mine that it was hidden in. Doc only had a week until Buford Tannen killed him. Second, Doc would surely have known to drain all fluids out of a car for long term storage. He could have emptied the fuel tank months before, and used it for who knows what. And finally the biggest reason why they couldn't use #1, IT NEEDED MAJOR REPAIRS THAT WEREN'T AVAILABLE IN 1885. Doc made that very clear in his letter that he couldn't fix #1 in 1885. So since #1 is not usable, then why risk screwing up Marty's ability to use it 1955?
Sure.
Either watch just the first as a stand alone movie, or watch the whole trilogy. 2 and 3 are linked in a lot more ways than the first movie is to them.
"What are we, the fucking U.N. now!!!!"
I think Dr. Melfi hit this assessment of Tony right on the head. I forget when it was, but it was sometime before Tony and Carmela separated.
"Anthony, you would never leave your wife. She might leave you, but you would NEVER leave her."
Valentina was always my favorite of Tony's goomah's, but she had to many other things going on that she would never just give up to be the Italian wife that Tony would want. Plus we don't know how any of the girls would have felt about Tony banging other girls while with them. They all seemed to be naive enough in their own ways to think they were the only girl Tony was cheating on his wife with.
Doc made it pretty clear to Marty that he didn't want anymore future information.
Not necessarily.
The slave locked upstairs at the party didn't know he was dead.
The lady riding the bike at the end, might not have known yet.
The teacher helping Cole before the play might not have realized she died in the fire.
Wasn't that kind of the point of that Jennifer Love Hewitt show?
I think the real question should be is how come Davos never sees his wife???
"It was revenge for Billy Batts.... and a lot of other stuff."
Most likely while Henry and Jimmy were in prison Tommy was running around pretty much unchecked and got into even more schinanagans that rubbed the wrong people the wrong way. And finally even Paulie had enough and gave the go ahead to kill him. Perhaps Paulie was kind of hoping that Jimmy would do it as a means of disconnecting himself from Lufthansa. When it became clear Jimmy wasn't going to do it, Paulie gave the ok to the other family.
While it probably wouldn't require great detective work to figure out that Henry and Jimmy were involved, ultimately no one could ever without a doubt say they did anything. Tommy was the only one known to have beefed with Billy that night. Jimmy and Henry mostly acted as peace keepers, and pulled Tommy away from Billy and out of the place. Henry was even apologizing for Tommy after he left. As far as anyone could tell, Tommy waited in the parking lot for Billy, or even followed him away from the place and ambushed him down the road.
Pretty sure she was cast only for that scene, in order to draw our attention way from the other girls who were actual actresses.
THAT'S NOT TRUE!!!!!
Nobody was hoping for his character to return.
I always wondered if Roanoke was a bluff by Linoge. And that maybe he wasn't the reason that colony disappeared, but he had the news reporter mention it in everyone's dream just to scare them about what he could do to them. There's a couple of details that don't make complete sense when you think about it, which is what makes me wonder.
1) Why would he have been in North America at that time? There were only two European settlements at that point (Spain had St. Augustine). So if you did get an heir, what would you do? Hang around the colony that just gave the kid to you? And if they didn't and you marched them into the ocean, then you're stuck there alone waiting for passage back to Europe, or you would have to target a Native American tribe.
2) Why would he wait 400 years before trying to again to acquire an heir? I know he said he's thousands of years old, and will still live at least a hundred more. But if he was worried about his mortality in late 16th century, and failed to gain an heir at Roanoke, why not try again a few years later? And he does make it seem like he was the one who did Roanoke.
Do you think Daniel could have gotten all those people and animals out of the house, and had everything cleaned up perfectly to how it was before Miranda came home in a few hours?
Of course he couldn't. Even if the neighbor hadn't narc'd on him, Miranda would have come home with the party still going, or even if it was over the house would still be a wreck. She would freak out, and they would have gotten a divorce.
Sand people stole the hard top to it, thus making space travel in a LAND speeder impossible.
One afternoon at the Cantina:
Mr. Wanted pulls out a blaster and fires a shot. Another guy pulls out a lightsaber and lobs off the guys arm.
Moments later, a human shots a creature connected to a known gangster, while sitting at a table. He then casually walks out, giving the bartender some money for the mess.
During both incidents, the other patrons briefly looked up from their own conversations to see what was happening, then went back to their conversations without giving a second thought.
The Cantina, and probably all of Mos Esley, was probably the perfect place for a wanted man to hide. Not even Boba Fett would have been crazy enough to claim a bounty in there. Greedo was stupid enough to, and it went as one would expect it too.
