I don't say it lightly; the Sopranos is permanently associated with my worst family members that openly admire and imitate Tony Soprano.
The movie Donnie Brasco is also ruined for me because the most obnoxious nazi :grillman: of them all can not go for an entire family gathering without a few "FUGHEDABUDITs" thrown in here and there to dismiss everyone else's lives, concerns, and especially complaints about his "sense of humor." :us-foreign-policy: .
So, I read the Donnie Brasco book as a really little precocious kid going through a reading about the mafia phase. I was like...11 or so. Anyway, the book had surveillance photos of the real investigation and the real Donny Brasco looked exactly like my dad at the time.
My parents are fine. They're libs but like...union libs. Far left of Bernie regarding foreign policy and economically maybe even a bit left of the guy. Socially They're ignorant and not willing to learn but are live and let live kinda folks. The rest of my family aren't like...the worst, they're just people in their 50s that still watch family guy or silent generation and dying. It's also on not polite to disagree with someone's backward statements and not to make them in first place so I'm expected to just sit there and not call out bullshit. Which is a really silly thing to expect, I see them twice a year and really don't give a shit what they think of me.
