YMMV / The Sopranos S 3 E 2 Proshai Livushka

• Narm: Tony's final scene with his mother, an extremely awkward mix of new footage of James Gandolfini and outtakes of the late Nancy Marchand which never comes close to being convincing, not least because her hairstyle quite obviously changes from one shot to the next.
• Special Effect Failure: Tony's last conversation with Livia. Nancy Marchand's death necessitated that the character be written out, so the crew spent $250,000 digitally superimposing Marchand's image on another actress's body. It was not convincing, with the head being lit differently than everything else and consequently looking like the equivalent of taping a cutout of someone's face onto an ex's photo.
