He looks fat and funky. Maybe it's the tucked in shirt?

The rot was already well advanced by the end of the Sopranos run.
The thing I hated about the Sopranos there towards the end is how you find out Carmine was right. It's not a family...it's a glorified crew. Tony doesn't nearly as much power as you assume he does in the previous seasons.
Dallas did this same thing. JR is a shell of himself those last few seasons. The guy who could bring the entire state of Texas to its knees can't even get himself out of an insane asylum. Its pathetic.
Yeah but that was kind of one of the points. It showed the decline which was mirroring (and still does) society. It was stark by the end for sure.

Only thing piqued my interest was that quote which i've never heard anywhere. Is it AI? Unbelievable. The grammatical errors and amateur presentation reeks of another TB special...

Some that have not been mentioned:
The Pledge (starred Jack Nicholson; I think it was directed by Sean Penn) is a great film. Went under the radar a bit.
Traffic
Ghost World
Bad Santa
The Departed
The Prestige
Borat
Gran Torino
The Wrestler
The Sopranos is the greatest cinema of the era (and probably any era) although it's obviously a TV show...

Have you ever read the writing credits or backstory of the song? He wrote the “black armband” part.
In your defense he also wrote So Fine.
Fair enough re Civil War. Thats a good part.
I actually don't mind So Fine to be fair. Certainly nowhere near the worst off the Illusions albums.

Just did what I said I wouldn't do and watched it a second time. I don't hate it as much as the first viewing so maybe there's something to that...?
#8 Re: Guns N' Roses » The General and Monsters » 26 weeks ago
pump out a few more CD songs and then get ready for the Izzy run on tour and in the studio.
Its very simple (except for the $$ part with Izzy touring) and everyone goes home satisfied/happy
Axl gets his fill with the last of the Chin Dem era
The boys get back together in the studio with Izzy and put together an album or two
Tour with or without Izzy.Retirement
That would be incredible. Sadly, it would seem it's pure fantasy.

Garbage song, garbage video.
Embarrassing stuff. I will never watch it again - it gave me a headache. Perhaps was a massive step in the right direction. I would say this is better than nothing but I actually think nothing would have been better.

I’m actually really starting to love this song….the power chords, lyrics, and Axl wailing at top register…it’s cool.
Of course, it’s not as cool as Get In The Ring but I digress….
Two things can be true - Get in the ring being a turd (which it undoubtedly is) doesn’t mean that the General can not also be one of their worst songs .
All subjective of course
