All I Have To Say About The Sopranos Finale

I haven't watched the show since the first season-and-a-half, and I didn't see the final episode.

But, with an enormously popular and acclaimed TV show that "ended" with so many loose ends untied and so many people dissatisfied (according to the billion or so blogs I saw it mentioned on) ...

You think maybe, just maybe, HBO is planning ...

A "Sopranos" movie?

It seems downright obvious to me, David Chase's half-hearted denials notwithstanding.

A lot of the interesting characters are dead.

Would a flashback movie be any fun?

There will be a movie, but the next step is merchandising. Think about it...

Sopranos themed lunchboxes, underwear, shower curtains, action figures, paper towels, breakfast cereal, t-shirts, coloring books...

By the way, I heard that the movie was going to be called Sopranos: The Search For More Money.

No, but they could have a prequel that dropped hints.

Call me an idiot (most do) but I thought it was an amazing ending. Only in America is creativity treated as a negative thing. If it isn't finite with shit blowing up for no reason, is considered a classic in the post 2000 era.

I'm with Doug. It was a great ending that will keep people talking for years. UNLESS there's going to be a movie. That would suck and completely ruin the ending.

I also missed a few seasons, and came back for the ending so I'm no expert.

But I actually believe Chase is sincere when he says he has no movie plans, and I'm sure he's perfectly ok with the uproar over his ending (which I agree was perfect).

But still, can't say it's impossible.. Coppola wasn't planning to make a Godfather 2, let alone 3.
