You should have just stole some made by a caring neighbor and claimed it was yours!

Yeah it was Carm's lasagne she claimed as her own, Junior told Bobby but he didn't believe him. And yeah, I'm another one it makes really hungry, so much of the food looks amazing in the show, I've got a big book here about all the behind the scenes stuff, and they said it was a pretty popular thing for people to have viewing parties for it where they'd all eat Italian food while watching (and I like to imagine they'd say AY, OH! to everything too) which seems like a pretty good way to view it really!

Yup. But Jesus, no wonder Tony is so goddamn fat. I swear if I lived in Italy (or Jersey, I guess) I'd weigh so loving much.

escape artist posted:Yep. Nice! Yeah, back when the show was on, we had a party every Sunday at someone's house, and the host would make a big Italian dinner. It was goddamn amazing, and we all got fatter. The same group has been doing Game of Thrones dinners now, but while mead and pork pies are delicious, they aren't as good as that ziti.

The best was probably when she went online as a ghost and convinced the kids to get out the Ouji Board and freak themselves out.

Janice really was a terrible person in a show full of terrible people. I guess the fact that she was so completely self centered and whiny made her stand out from the crowd of regular jerks.

Ha, I've got heart issues, including tachycarida, hypertension, potential irregular heat beat... I don't think a nice ziti dish from like 4 years ago will make much of a difference. Thanks for your concern though! MrBling posted:Janice really was a terrible person in a show full of terrible people.

She was, but not only was she written that way, Aida Turtorro did a fantastic job portraying that character.

Janice is basically the manipulative, sneaky counterpart to Tony's bruteforce sledgehammer approach and you get the feeling that if she had actually been involved in the family business she would have ended up like that female loanshark that Phil killed. ie. mouthing off to somebody and thinking she had more protection than she really did.

I thought it was really funny how she resorted to spying on her neighbors with binoculars, just like her mother.

And his accent is slightly different in the first episode or two. They make sure to let you know that it's Sop-rahh-no, but eventually buckle to regular old Sop-raaan-o. I rewatched the first two seasons a few months back. Then watched one from S6. Jesus what a blimp he was toward the end.

They actually made him gain weight progressively, as a way of showing his recklessness. Gandalfini was pretty pissed about it.

Got a link to an interview or something about it? I caught up with the Sopranos long after it finished and haven't really read anything about it since, unlike with The Wire.

He's still a big guy, but he isn't bordering on morbidly obese like he was in Season 6. Scott Bakula posted:Got a link to an interview or something about it?

Gandalfini himself said it in an interview either pre-season 6, during it, or after it concluded.

When you call him Gandalfini I can't help but get a mental image of him with a long beard and an a staff in hand while wearing his bathrobe.

I'm re-watching this for the first time since watching the whole series right after the last season ended. Re-watching it I'm just flat out amazed at the acting. It's just so good all around, but Edie Falco really stands out for me. In the scene at Furio's house when Furio tells her she's a "special woman" you can just watch her heart and resolve melt looking up at him. Bone-crushingly good acting. For as despicable as basically all the characters are in their own way, it's almost impossible for me not to feel sympathy for all of them (well except Janice anyway). No other show I've seen has characters this deep and complex - truly an American work of art.

Nancy Marchand as Livia is probably the best in the series. The way she manipulates Junior at the beginning is so evil.

MrBling posted:Nancy Marchand as Livia is probably the best in the series. The way she manipulates Junior at the beginning is so evil. Yeah she's really great. Re-watching a few months ago, it had been so long since watching her episodes I had forgotten how horrible a person Livia was. Which does make me have a lot more sympathy for Tony and Janice. Deciding to stay away from her hosed up family is probably the best decision the rarely seen other Soprano sister ever made.

She just could never be happy and was always doom and gloom. The way she makes those dismissive hand gestures gets me every time. And I can remember her saying that she never answered the phone after it was dark.
