Charles on… anything that comes along

So someone was asking the other day in a comment about that scene where the New Joisey boys in the Sopranos try to shake down a Starcostabucks, only to get told that “every last f’ing bean is in the computer”.

Hey, turns out that it’s out there. This is still my favourite scene out of the whole canon, because it demonstrates something that we feel is happening in our modern world: it’s all getting out of our control, it’s all done by computers, head offices somewhere else, there’s nothing left for us, the individuals, to do at our discretion. Which in this case turns out to be a blessing. And have to say, the actor playing the manager of the coffee shop plays a blinder with his one scene. Great stuff.

And now, enjoy.. (and it’s here if you want to see whatever gets related to it.. hmm, not much that you’d really call “relevant” except for having “little guy” somewhere near the title).
