May 12, 20223 yr Carmela is a horrible, horrible person. The worst on the entire show, because she's a hypocrite. Years ago, my now ex-wife always wanted me to watch "Sex in the City" with her. After a but, I said to her "do you realize that this Carrie is a horrible cunt without a single redeeming value?". She got really pissed, and then, much later, agreed with me.
May 12, 20223 yr I probably have to go with the murderers and sex traffickers being worse. Or Melfi's rapist. But yes she is insufferable and she directly and knowingly benefits from all of the mob's nefarious activities.

May 12, 20223 yr Artie did get a great deal on that Ramlosa Sparkling Water though. Also a product of the Scatino bust out.

Always wonder what would have happened if he took Tony up on the idea to put his sauces and shit in the grocery stores. Like if it didn’t sell. Could have been a funny arch
May 26, 20223 yr Speaking on Carmela season 3 Episode 7!she goes to see the therapist on her own. He tells her straight up “Leave him and only take the children”. Then he tells her “now you can’t say you weren’t told”. Then at the end of the episode she tells Tony “you’ve gotta do something nice for me, this is what I want.”. She extorts tony out of 50k for meadows school donation. Lol love this show

The two fights with Tony are all about two amazing actors at the top of their game.

Every bit as good as the first few times, though I noticed some things that I hadn't paid as much attention to on previous viewings. Christopher's reaction when he opens the trunk and Valery moves is hilarious. The look on Paulie's face as he stares out the rear window of Tony's suburban at the end of the episode. Paulie's excited advice as they're sucking on the ketchup packs: "Mix it with the relish!!" I'm glad Gloria will be dead soon. Very hot but my god, the borderline personality disorder is like an aggressive cancer with flesh eating bacteria. One of my favorite moments is the end when they’re eating the sandwiches and Tony is telling Paulie he’s got some Mayo on his face. “Wha?” “MAY-YA-NAIS, MAY-YA-NAIS!” Edited May 26, 20223 yr by Etexhorn13

Just straight up telling her what she doesn’t want to hear. But yeah Rosalie and Gabby and Adrianna and the other wives and girlfriends didn’t give nearly as big of a shit as Carm did. Or at least pretended to. I mean she gets exactly what she wants all the time and still bitches and nags and acts pissed till Tony would just buy her off again. Then the whole stealing out of the bird feed and fucking it up cause she’s an idiot. So yeah. If you’re gonna be a complete scumbag, own it. Like @Johnny Sack and his wife with the 90 pound mole on her ass
May 26, 20223 yr Johnny Sack catching his wife binging on candy bars on the laundry room floor, then letting his hard on for vengeance against Ralphie for the fat joke drop, is one of my favorite moments.

May 30, 20223 yr So this probably goes under the 'how is this the same actor' thread but whatever. Last week, I was an extra in the new series from Paramount called 'Tulsa King' with Sylvester Stallone. Basically, all I did was walk down a sidewalk while this guy parked his car. They did take after take. Anyway, the guy driving the car in the scene was some guy I heard never heard of or recognized. So I go home and do a little research and to my embarrassment and amazement, it was Max Casella. He played Benny Fazio in The Soprano's. Can't believe I've watched Soprano's a gillion times and had absolutely no clue who this guy was in real life. By the way, speaking of Casella, watched the movie 'Killing Them Softly' tonight. Not the best film but quite a few Soprano's alumni in that one including Gandolfini and Curatola. Might be worth a watch for the fans. Edited May 30, 20223 yr by Sweetnsourpoke
June 3, 20223 yr I have a different take on Ginny Sac scene. It gutted John. He was willing to throw away everything to defend his wife. Then he realized she was full of shit and his defense was in vain.
June 3, 20223 yr The funniest scene in “The Weight” is Ralph almost getting shot to death in a banana hammock.

Tony refused to deal with Tony B, so Phil almost beats Benny to death. Tony also made Benny host his parent’s 50th Anniversary at Vesuvio despite his feud with Artie. Good actor with a lengthy career.
June 12, 20223 yr Rewatching for the umpteenth time and just realized Jimmy Altieri was a rat. I always chalked him getting whacked as Tony being in denial and wanting it to be anyone but Pussy.
June 23, 20223 yr GF and I had a memorial service in San Juan Cap today. Decided to stop by the pier in San Clemente on the way home for happy hour. Great Restaurant there; "The Fisherman's". They have a full restaurant on one side, and an appetizer/Oyster bar on the other. I'm on the Oyster side, and as we are walking out, fucking Bobby Bacala is walking into the restaurant side. Dude looks pretty good. Big, but not too fat.

June 26, 20223 yr Schirripa is probably at the top of my list of dudes I'd want to have a drink with. He goes all the way back to Sinarta in his Vegas days. He's been around hundreds of wise guys, actors, and entertainers. His stories must be gold.

July 9, 20223 yr I agree with @billfromlaketravis about Schirrippa. Definitely seems like he'd be a fun guy to hang out with. But I thought his was one of the best acting jobs in the series. He pulled off a mafia underboss who was extremely vulnerable and sensitive, and made it easily believable.
July 9, 20223 yr Every time my gf and I do a re-watch, we constantly mention how much we hate Janice and therefore what a fantastic performance was given by Aida Turturro. So many of the actors put on a clinic in terms of how real their characters were. Richie Aprile? Marone!

July 11, 20223 yr Great synopsis from the NY Times and on the fantastic strangeness that was Paulie. Did not know he had a cameo in Godfather II, and I've seen that movie 25 times I bet. Paulie Walnuts — that was Paul Gualtieri’s nickname because he once hijacked a truck full of nuts (he was expecting television sets) — was one of the mob boss Tony Soprano’s most loyal, oversensitive and reckless men. Paulie was the kind of guy who would participate in an intervention for a drug addict and, when it was his turn to speak, punch the guy in the face. He loved his mother (although he found out she was really his aunt), and she loved him because he wrote the checks to keep her in an expensive nursing home. Paulie wore track suits, slept with hookers, was phobic about germs, hated cats and watched television in a chair covered with plastic. He hated being stuck with an almost $900 restaurant check but could appreciate a tasty ketchup packet on a cold night in the Pine Barrens when there was nothing else to eat. When the “Sopranos” cast appeared in a group shot on the cover of Rolling Stone in 2001, Paulie stood with a baseball bat casually slung over his right shoulder. No hairdresser on the “Sopranos” set was allowed to touch Mr. Sirico’s hair — dark and luxuriant, with two silver “wings” on either side. He blow-dried and sprayed it himself. He brought at least one admirable lesson from the mob world to “The Sopranos”: He insisted that his character never be portrayed as a rat, someone who would snitch on his crime family. He was also reluctant to have his character kill a woman — Paulie smothered an older nursing home resident with a pillow when she interrupted his theft of her life savings — but he was pleasantly surprised that people in the old neighborhood didn’t seem to think less of him after the episode was shown. Early on, however, it sometimes slipped his mind that he had rejected the dark side. “I was this 30-year-old ex-con villain sitting in a class filled with fresh-faced, serious drama students,” Mr. Sirico recalled in the Daily News interview. The teacher “leaned over to me after I did a scene and whispered, ‘Tony, leave the gun home.’ After so many years of packing a gun, I didn’t even realize I had it with me.” https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/08/arts/television/tony-sirico-dead.html Edited July 11, 20223 yr by Wally Pryor
