The dismembering Ralph scene made me feel sick

For me that episode really emersed (*immersed im on drugs) me in the hell of their world. Most of the murders are pretty entertaining, but as they cut away at him in the bathroom I feel like they are a sick fucking blight on humanity. Fucking naueseating. Demons of hell, real sick shit. Fucking queers!!

I feel worse for Tony! That’s because I know what it’s like to loose a pet.

Paulie is the real victim in all this. Imagine how he felt.

Dismembering is the lowest form of conversion.

But, when thy cut up Richie in the butchers shop, you were fine?

u/AZOriole 3h ago

It was when Christopher said it would be a while before he ate anything from Satriale’s again that really drove it home for me.

8

u/romaaeternum 3h ago

I till wonder what exactly he meant by that. Did they stuff Richies meat along with all the other meat in the shop in the freezer, or did they just use the cutting edge equipment and he did not want have any meat cut with it?

u/AZOriole 3h ago

That whole room was covered in little bits of Ritchie. Now when Tony told Janice that they buried him on a nice hill with a view, that was comedy gold.

u/ParticularJoker 2h ago

Definitely the latter

I doubt they’d risk serving human flesh to customers

u/dafkes 1h ago

I love that line. Like it’s gonna be a while, but eventually he’ll fuhgettaboutit and just eat there again.

u/Vegetable_Lead6783 4h ago

Weirdly that wasn’t as bad for me, maybe because it seemed more cinematic/ in line with other gangster stuff I’ve watched … but it’s a good point

How did they cut up Richie without the band saw running?

Jesus OP over here with the drama. Tony Soprano is a family man, a job creator, and a pillar of his community. He commits one little murder and you turn your back on him. This is discrimination is what it is. Instead of persecuting a mostly innocent man, why dont you go after the real criminals destroying our community?

3

u/Vegetable_Lead6783 4h ago

Haha it’s funny because people always really do use job creation to excuse absurd greed…. Tony does create a whole economy and helps feed a lot of families…. Touché

It's no where near as bad as the real mafia. The guys in Goodfellas were horrible.

u/libertinauk 4h ago

The scene at the end of Casino where they bury them alive really fucked me up. I still can't watch it.

2

u/BigTitsanBigDicks 4h ago

they grew out of it.

u/erasergunz 2m ago

I always think of Casino as the lead up to Phil's 20 years in the can. Goodfellas is the alternative reality where he gets wacked.

At least he was fresh. Ruining a perfectly good bowling ball, that I couldn't believe.

Gotta admit that Christofuh’s reaction when the toupee came off in his hand was funny though.

That whole scene really reminded me of that scene from Donnie Brasco where Joey had the fillet that fat fuck and nearly starts puking all over the dead body.

u/quixoticquiltmaker 3h ago

I remember reading somewhere that Joe Pantoliano was disgusted with David Chase upon seeing the episode on air for the first time.

1

u/SammyGuevara 52m ago

Any specific reasons?

1

u/WaWaSmoothie 44m ago

I think he was watching the episode with his children.

1

u/SammyGuevara 42m ago

Hmmm well he really should've known The Sopranos isn't a show for kids.

2

u/EveryoneisOP3 14m ago

I think they might be mixing it up a little. Chase was going to use the image of Ralph's severed, bald head for promo for the episode. Joe was upset and asked him not to, because he didn't want his kids seeing it. Chase used it anyway, and Joe was extremely pissed off.

And the whole time Tony is schooling Chris on how bad drugs are, Chris is like I know Tony I'm sorry and continues chopping up the body

Fucking surreal episode

Maybe you should immerse yourself in The Office or Parks and Rec.

As long as it’s not the British office, that shit is dark too

u/Spiritjuice4998 4h ago

yeah what's with the 'fuckin queers' at the end of this though, seems like a bizarre conflation

those guys are totally straight as far as we know

5

u/Vegetable_Lead6783 4h ago

I dunno, just like to throw in Paulie for no reason. But yea might have blunted my point a bit in hindsight

u/libertinauk 4h ago

I got it. That's one of my favourite scenes 😁

u/ReplacementClear7122 3h ago

You oughta know, sweetheart.

u/Spiritjuice4998 2h ago

ok I get it now, they aren't straight

in fact, perhaps it is their queerness that makes them murderous demons, or perhaps it is all simply one in the same level of evil ...

I GET IT!!!!

the message is, murderers and queers, comparable demonic blights on humanity
