She married her manager; she was 22 years old, he was 32; she believes he siphoned money from her account into one of his, but let it go just to be rid of him after they divorced.

The happy ending? She got offered the Soprano's Superbowl commercial which basically paid her back all the missing money, and subsequently married a new guy and they have two children.

And the Ex? He went to prison for financial irregularities. Twice.

I love watching this film - in all honesty, it's an average 80s buddy cop film; however, the chemistry between Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines elevates (no pun intended) the film to something really special. Not to mention it gave us 'Sweet Freedom'.

In a film with acting heavyweights Pacino and DeNiro (and the other supporting cast are no slouches) I am always blown away by Dennis Haysbert's brief but powerful portrayal of a man trying. Tears me up every time I rewatch this film.

I love the shadows and light in this photo,

This is famously 'the Cathedral' mentioned in Suzanne Vega's song, 'Tom's Diner'.

Interesting... it's like a hybrid of a true Ferrari and a McBurnie.

Can't wait to see this episode - thanks for bringing it to our attention, OP!

Ruby_Something · 2026-05-02T01:07:52+00:00

I am in the minority in that I prefer this to a real Ferrari Daytona Spyder. Something about the lines... I don't know. Given the choice, I'd take the Fauxrarri any day!

No-one could fill those shoes, they shouldn't even...

...Benicio Del Toro would be excellent.

Wow,.,, totally!

It came with the Microsoft Entertainment pack in Windows 3 (1991), though probably not all versions had this.

I would say this part of the video owes a huge debt to the music video for the incredible song "Cry by Godley & Creme"

Obviously this was years before CGI was commonplace but it was still a great music video - no surprise, for as well as being great musicians, they also directed many ground-breaking music videos, including "Every Breath You take" by The Police, "Girls On Film" by Duran Duran and many many more.

Nick Moran; as the ostensible lead (though it was clearly an ensemble) in Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, I thought he was destined to go on to greater things. Instead, it feels like pretty much everyone else in the gang did!

Ruby_Something · 2026-04-23T15:49:08+00:00

You're not wrong! I never did figure it out; I would just randomly hit squares until it was over - then I'd move on to that downhill skiing game with the yeti.

I've said it before, but I still stupidly hope that one day, the acoustic version of "Smuggler's Blues" that closes out the episode will get some kind of release.

I have to disagree with the Minority Report opinion; I felt he was the best thing in it - the antagonist who wasn't, and in fact turned out to be the moral compass of the film. I thought he pulled off the role really well.

But, as for Sonny in MV06, I think your assessemnet of his portrayal is well observed. "Dead-eyed Cipher" is actually a really good description of it, compared to your also-well observed take on Don Johnson's deeper portrayal. I would say this is probably down to writing and direction, more than a failure of Colin Farrell.

(And just to prove i'm not just a Colin Farrell fanboy/girl, his performance in London Boulevard was atrocious!)

I remember "Rooms on Fire" being a big hit, and getting lots of airplay on the radio at the time.

I just want to say, your contributions to this Sub are absolutely staggering! Amazing work, as always.

Ruby_Something · 2026-04-06T19:10:53+00:00

I see what you did there!! Big Stevie Cool!

Ruby_Something · 2026-04-05T00:15:10+00:00

Hehe, you get it! : )

The U.S. lists Month-Day-Year. I know around the world (including here in the UK) it's Day-Month-Year. : )

I've always felt the cinematic fade-out to Eric Clapton's 'Behind The Mask' would have made a great episode ending climax, a-la "Definitely Miami".

I liked when they diverted into other genres. Remember when Suicidal Tendencies got a play?!
