      I know. It's sad. Paulie was my favorite character. Tony was just so damn good playing him. I hope they do a similar documentary for him as well. His real life story is actually amazing. I watched the interview with him from 1989, and I can't believe how mean he seemed to have been when he was younger. Talking about beating the shit out of guys just for talking to his girlfriend. The interviewer asked him if he ever killed anyone, and he hesitated at first but then said no. Of course he wasn't gonna say yes, even if he DID kill anyone. But, him turning his life around, and becoming an actor, is incredible, and inspiring.

    I actually met him while flying to the Bahamas for my honeymoon with my new wife on New Year’s eve 2009. We we’re getting our bags and there he was standing right in front of me! I screamed out,” Yo, Tony Soprano!!” He looked at me like a wiseguy and said just nodded his head with a steely cold expression. I extended my hand and he shook it, and he turned around and just walked away with his son. i’ll never forget it.

Regular people call it Bipolar, but it's not really. Really the scientific name for it is Empath. We feel everything with very high sensitivity.

    Beautiful poem by Dominic Chianese (Corrado Junior Soprano):
    You can travel down the road,
    Check on every vine,
    You can travel down the road,
    You can travel down the line.
    But there were few like Jimmy,
    He was homemade wine.
    Honest, good, pure, nothing added.
    Wants you to have a good time,
    Sharing with friends like family.
    He was homemade wine.
    You need a dollar? You got Jim.
    Loyalty and truthfulness, that was him.
    Believing in something good out there.
    Never got in the way, he was always fair.
    A good brother, a good son, good father.
    He always tried his best.
    And all the rest,
    He was homemade wine.

      That whole section was so moving. As opinion on the conflict over there sours and we become more and more removed from the reality of it, it becomes easier to lump in the everyday people who had to do the dirty work with the ones who send the innocent to war. They are not the same, and their sacrifice was real and costly, whether or not it was in vain is irrelevant when looking at it on a personal level.

    We sadly recently have now lost Tony Sirico as well. There will never be as an important type of show as The Sopranos. Think about that, and let it sink in. How lucky we all are to have been able to witness the history being made for 6 seasons, every Sunday night during those seasons, we knew that we could pause what we were doing, and watch this groundbreaking historic show give us all something we had never seen before, and sadly never will again. Every couple of years, not as often as I use to, I still will watch the series, and think back to what I was doing back then, and how I would look forward to those new episodes.

    I am so touched about how close to him were the actors of Sil and Paulie and Junior in the real life. Listening to "Silvio" near the end of this, speaking with such sadness, in denial of Gandolfini not being alive anymore is so pure and amazing... I am so glad I finally watched TheSopranos. It will be always AT LEAST top 5 Series of all time ever, probably still the no.1, the BEST Series ever made for as long as humanity will last on Earth.
    Ps: i wasn't speared of crying. Uncle Jun got me in the end.... What a cast Chase had for this.

    It’s crazy how COVID is the reason I saw the entire Sopranos and became a die hard fan very fast. Part of me regrets not seeing it when it first came out, but then again I would’ve been way too young. A big part of me is happy I got to see it older but now I’m a grown ass man missing someone as if they just recently passed. Jimmy’s passing was too soon but it’s crazy how he continues to impact people’s lives so many years later after his death… like me. This guy literally makes me want to be a better person in all aspects of life.

      Tony had a moral code. Just like Omar, from The Wire... "Every man must have a code"

    I have been in this country for over 30 years, I have seen a lot of celebrity deaths announced on TV and on the internet and have seen how people reacted about them. I can honestly say James Gandolfini's death has most affected me, I have never felt so personal about an actor as I did with Jimmy. And also in my opinion, his death was more talked about than any other actors that have passed on in recent memory. He was a very good hearted human being. A rare and a one of a kind.

      Breaking Bad is an evolved version of The Sopranos, I feel. ..and just a tad bit sharper, too. However, without Tony, there would be no Walter. I think TV fans need to experience both shows before they die.

The show is good, very good, in fact, but no way the writing is "sharper" or in any way superior to The Sopranos. Not even mentioning the acting aspect and overall scenarios. The Sopranos is in its own league, it's truly superb and provided the inspirations for the latter drama TV shows and movies.

Not only that you get so caught up with James playing Tony Soprano that you think he's him he's that damn good at the character. He was extra special and will be greatly missed gone WAY WAY before his time. Thank you for some great memories James with that show and other films you were in. I pray you are resting peacefully now. God bless.
