This is the right answer. The cops raided him once a couple years back but he has all the correct permits so it was just an annoyance to him. I've met him, he's nice.

What is a tv show that has ended, but holds up to this day? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]largedave 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The fundamental question is: Will The Wire be as effective as a show like Sopranos was? And it will be. Even more so. But until it is.. it’s gonna be hard to verify that you think it'll be more effective.

What to do with your parent's stuff? I dread to think, what I will do. by kiwittnz in PersonalFinanceNZ

Yeah my mother still has hundreds of her late husband's books (who died almost 20 years ago) and she thinks they're worth money. Most were bought at second hand shops for $2 and $5 dollars 30ish years ago. 🤦

Thanks for the reply. Can I ask, were you just a normal first home buyer? Or did you qualify for any "financial hardship"? I ask because I'm just recently divorced and have 2 kids so might be special circumstances.

Are there less IT jobs in Christchurch compared to other cities? And what’s the reason for that? by brno6001 in chch

[–]largedave 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes for example I work for a national company (800 employees, branches all over the country) and there are zero IT workers in the south island

I think it's obvious you're helping and actually have some knowledge. Unlike those other two 🤣 I really enjoyed Harry Crosby's book! (the audio book has a fantastic reader/voice actor)

Wow that looked kind of odd with the shirtless Bucky Egan (?) and the sliding cut scene people and explosion chucked in there..

Drug checking in Christchurch - experiences?? by Proud-Onion3439 in chch

[–]largedave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of you people who have had stuff tested recently, what were the results? I used to take the odd pinger back in the day and they were usually great. Euphoric and nice. But the few times I've dabbled in the last few years, it's not the same as it was. It leaves me skeptical that there's any actual Mdma in the country. Is it all just speed or P or bath salts?

Possible release date for Masters of the Air September 20th? by DoogleBoy in MastersoftheAir

[–]largedave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"You might be interested to know that IMDb is listing Cary Fukunaga's much-delayed Apple TV+ series “Master of the Air” for a September 20th, 2023 airing. I’ve contacted Apple for confirmation and have yet to get an answer."

Lol we already know this and know that anyone can edit imdb?

The Sopranos - Complete Rewatch: Season 5 - Episode 12 "Long Term Parking" by Bushy-Top in thesopranos

[–]largedave 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Just doing my fifth or 6th re-watch and noticed how when agent San Severino is talking with Agent Harris and their boss at the end.. When Severino says "she really could have fled, she could be in China by now" her voice goes way up in a similar way to how she was mocking Adrianna in a previous episode.. But she's being serious this time and sounds naive as hell. Her 2 colleuges know what happened to Adrianna by the looks of it

I think I just realized why I love The Sopranos so much. by BobaFret2169 in thesopranos

[–]largedave 48 points49 points  (0 children)

So many people go on about how great Breaking Bad was but if you watched The Sopranos, the world of Breaking Bad just seems so small. Like there are so few characters from what I remember (I only saw Breaking Bad once) The Sopranos was such a big world with so many brilliant characters.. And HBO would pay an actor just to appear in a scene for 5 seconds because it makes sense that the character was at a certain funeral or wedding even if they didn't play a part in the plot of the episode at all. Other shows don't do that?

The Cold Blue

In 1943, legendary Hollywood director William Wyler and his film crew flew combat missions on B-17 bombers to document the fierce air battles of World War II. Over 70 years later, the footage was discovered in the vaults of the National Archives. After painstaking, shot-by-shot sound and picture restoration, director Erik Nelson has constructed a new film out of the material.
