What about this?

Instead of having a new movie, let’s have a new HBO show. Wait! finish reading this.

I, for one, and sick of the direction the Sopranos have taken. It’s still good, but it is now far from being a pure family/mob show. There’s just so much other crap that I find it hard to watch…and it’s my favorite show all time.

Ok so we call it “The Godfather Chronicles.” In it we can follow several time lines. For example

Vito between GF2 flashbacks and GF1 wedding.
Sonny growing up and during the 5 family war.
Michael…all over the place.
And Vincent in and after the 80’s.

There are tons of Italian American and Italian looking actors (Cuban, Spanish, Black Irish) out there who would love the work and have tons of undiscovered talent. One of my other requirements would be. NO DAVID CHASE. Don’t get me wrong…I love the guy. But I just want some old-fashioned story telling without his quirkiness and weirdness. The other one would be NO SOPRANOS PEOPLE. Again, I love these guys but we need new blood.

Unfortunately this would never be done. Oh and my choice for LB is Gandolfini. I know I said no sopranos guys but this one’s a no-brainer.
