Some Dude Says There Will Be A ‘Sopranos’ Movie

Much of the talk about the Sopranos finale centered on two things: (1) Did Tony get killed by the guy in the Members Only jacket and (2) Will there eventually be a movie?

Hell, let’s combine the two! Turns out the actor who played the guy in the members only jacket owns a pizza shop in Penndel, Bucks County, and was discovered by a casting agent in his pizza parlor. (How come nobody ever stops by my blog and hires me to do a role in the best TV show of all time? I mean, I’d even take It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia!)

Paolo Colandrea sounded as shocked as anyone at the finale’s final moments, but isn’t saying anything about what he filmed.

When asked about the show’s ending, Colandrea said he believes some of the footage might be used in a feature film based on “The Sopranos.”

“I don’t want to say anything about what happened next because they may use it someday in a film,” he said.

His character didn’t have a speaking role, which is kind of unfortunate. It’d be nice if he got to write his own lines, too.

“The mosquitoes bite me cause I’m sweet,” he said, spraying a bug repellent on his arms. “I can take care of rattlesnakes. But I can’t handle mosquitoes,” he said. “You can’t fight what you can’t see.”

N.J. Fitness Czar Comes Too Late For Tony Soprano

New Jersey’s health commissioner recently formed the Office of Nutrition and Fitness, hoping to add yet another level of bureaucracy in the state. (KYW 1060’s David Madden even reported the move “[s]ounds like more bureaucracy.”)

But Health Commish Fred Jacobs said the move was recommended by a state panel that studied obesity. Apparently, the new fitness czar is going to tell kids to eat better and exercise more. Then the kids are going to see about 45 ads on TV for Xbox 360 and sugary cereals and continue to eat on the couch.

He also wants to do this:

Jacobs is also considering a call to include a child’s body mass index (”BMI”) number on his or her report card, but he admits there would be legal, social, and privacy concerns to address first.

Yeah, I am sure that is going to go over real well.

Tony Soprano, The Friendly Ghost

The final season of The Sopranos begins Sunday night — what’s more Catholic than Easter and the mob? — and people are already speculating how the entire show’s going to end. Will Tony get killed? Will that snot-nosed twit A.J. get disemboweled? (Please.) Will Paulie Walnuts and Christopher get lost in the woods again? Will Steve Van Zandt learn how to act? (No.) Will the FBI finally arrest Tony?

KYW 1060’s John McDevitt went to the streets and asked people how they felt the show would end. Here’s the best response.

Another man who wants to see the series come back in the future, says Tony could be whacked, then brought back in spirit:

“A ghost maybe.”

(McDevitt): Ahh a ghost.

“Yeah, Tony’s ghost is coming to tell his son what to do.”

Or maybe Tony can start taking advice from a little green alien that appears only to him.
