Not Fade Away (D: David Chase S: Gandolfini)
I just finished The Sopranos recently. Feel great to have David Chase back in action, and Gandolfini's ACCENT.

Not getting good early reviews on IMDB - 5.6. And holy crap does that girl look like Heather Graham...15 years younger.
Is this supposed to be modeled on Bob Dylan?

100% of my interest in this is because of Chase and Gandolfini. It might very well be an average movie but I am going to be seeing it for sure. But unfortunately it probably won't be around until mid January.

I generally thought this was a really good movie, but Chase seems better attuned to TV than movie making (i.e, the editing), the story and specifically the storylines/character arcs seemed to boxed in to the film's running time... it could have been longer IMO.

Yeah, I felt it could have been better paced, especially the ending. The ending narration didn't seem necessary to me either. A lot of it was really good but as a whole I thought it was okay. Gandolfini of course was awesome, and Bella Heathcote was good too.

Afaic, this is just an "F-U" to all the Sopranos fans still waiting for the movie that talked about and never delivered.

You know, it's been growing on me. Now it has gone from a meh to a I want to see it again It was very well acted. I think it's just a nostalgia piece. Have to go first Django again first though. And all the new movies each week.

Looks pretty boring. Also, that chick really does look like a young Heather Graham.
The ending? WTF really?
It was a good move and I was entertained until the ending. A lot of good bonus features on the Blu-ray.
Jack Huston (Richard Harrow from Boardwalk Empire) is also in it.
