    The Sopranos is a crime drama focusing on a Mafia family.

    • It’s incredible that it lasted only 3 seasons because my memory of it, seems like it lasted much longer. Probably because I really really liked the show. In my mind I probably wanted it to last longer. 🙂

      • I feel the same. To think there were only three seasons… but then… considering 79 epis and today 28 is more standard, that’s why it seems longer.

    • That is true. Ultimately, cheap prizes for a service done or for an item bought, will eventually cost them more. If the cheap item gets damaged, it is usually cannot be repaired anymore and just have to buy a new one. So, gone is the money you saved , but paid more than what you saved in the lung run.

    When I saw this movie, the first time, it knocked me across the room.  It was the most powerful experience.

    • I have seen the entire Matrix series before and you are absolutely correct when you say you miss a crucial point with a blink of your eye.
      But such movies are not for everyone. Only a limited section of viewers will be able to correlate the events together.
      I loved watching it though it required loads of concentration and mental ability.

      • Less intelligent people can see a kind of ‘kung fu’ movie, and still enjoy it… but not as much as those who know what they are seeing.

        • there is a very big difference between seeing and understanding. The second ones stand far ahead of the first ones.

          • What made the movie so important to me was that I was a hacker, so I was already in Neo’s shoes, and had often had this sense of The Matrix. I’d read Alice, knew Plato’s analogy of the Cave. For those who only saw a Sci-Fi show, they missed so much. We used to debate the meaning of the Matrix, the names chosen for the characters, and watched all three of the Matrix more than once.

    • This is one of my favorite Sci-Fi movies, and I believe it is one of the best Sci-Fi movies made so far!

    My dad used to like eggplant so much. He used to have it cooked in meat dishes. He could even eat them without meat. For me i used to find them very yucky, i didn’t like them. I can stand the taste of cucumber but not the taste of egg plants. They taste soggy to me. I didn’t know however that they lower the blood pressure. Thanks cely for that thought.

    • There was no abuse. Jasmine’s psycho-therapist put those false memories in her mind. That is why even if her brother agreed/apologised there would be no closure. It is like you accusing me of kicking your dog after a psychologist tells you that the reason you feel so upset is because I kicked your dog.

      But it’s impossible, and although you might repeat the accusation, deep down you know it isn’t true. That is the same with Jasmine.

    • I believe we have a “memory vault” where the things that happen to us, and that contribute to who we are, are placed. Bad memories can get buried in self defense. Sadly they pop up when a person is triggered by new memories in their lives. We should use them as a teaching tool and then put them back. I don’t think you can clear the memory vault. I wish you could, but good or bad it is part of who you are.
