Everybody's doing it

Making their own version of The Sopranos title sequence, that is.

This week The Chairman and I are being visited by one of our erstwhile colleagues (one of those who endured the horrors of the Evil Bastard Employers with us in our first year, and is thus forever bonded with us through a kind of brothers-in-arms combat camaraderie) - sometime artist, formidable (if erratic) pool player, and irrepressible Manc git, "Mad Mike".

Mike and his mate James have recently made their contribution to the Sopranos tribute oeuvre, shot around Liverpool and Birkenhead where they now live ('New Jersey on the Mersey'). Check it out.



Of the (numerous!!) other versions out there, I rather like this one of southern England, this of the Bay Area, and this of Quebec City. But the very best, of course, is this one of the fictitious California city of San Andreas from the Grand Theft Auto video game series.

Also well worth checking is this Mad TV parody, showing what The Sopranos would be like if it were shown on network television (witha terrific James Gandolfini impression from Will Sasso).
