FF Miles and the Mob
 
For those of you who haven't yet seen this weeks The Sopranos, hit BACK and don't read any further.

In addition to a quick scene at (I think) terminal B at Newark Airport, there was a talk of "laundering" miles at Tony's family reunion and how someone (I couldn't tell who) got into first class.

The point:
I wonder if it really happens??

They were referring to Silvio.

I would not worry about it... it is fiction. I think they are using a modern "rage"- airmiles to put the mob into modern day context...

As they stated on the show, they would need to hack into the airline's computers.... LOL!

I'm a little disturbed by the lack of continuity from last season in yesterday's season premier ...

They were closing on his mother's house last season, now they can't sell it ...

Junior was busted for stock trading last season, Tony said he's not involved in those kinds of deals, now all of a sudden he is ...

BTW, did anyone watch SNL this week ... they had a really funny Sopranos television ad (parody) on ...

I have not seen "The Sopranos" yet for this season but that was my concern: the lack of continunity. Didn't they make the first patch of shows like a year ago and only started production after months of break.

But that frequent flyer mile line only goes to prove that the time is right for a movie about Frequent Flyers, no about us.

Of course they'll have to be several major characters and a lot of cameos (ALA Robert Altman or Paul Thomas Anderson who did "Magnola" a must see this year.)

FLYERTALK THE MOVIE!!!

Will the concession stands at the movie theater have pudding available?

Other questions:

Will the theatres have 2- or 3- class seating?

Will there be a fee for changing your seat?

Beckles - my buddy and I almost cried (from laughing) during that SNL parody....

Tute, you are a hoot. That was hysterical. And I thought that I had a dry sense of humor.

I am glad that some people found the satirical meaning in my post!!
