The "they're just in the garbage business!" followed by "how can you say this in front of an outsider!" is the perfect moment.

Is that supposed to be a bottle of water or is Meadow pouring way way too much straight vodka into her glass?

I'm always taken by her word choice of "that you would even say that is amazing to me!" which is some top notch redirection.

It's vodka.

She’s barely 21 possibly younger in this scene. That’s an appropriate amount of vodka.

I've always loved the choice of "Baubles, Bangles, and Beads" by Frank Sinatra for the song Pussy plays on the boat when they're about to kill him. Recently rewatching that scene, the rocking of the boat makes it look like Silvio and Paulie are dancing to it.

"Ah," Ratz had said, at last, "the artiste."
Like everyone else I binge watched the sopranos during quarantine, though I had seen, like, 70% of it through osmosis prior but this was the first time watching it straight through. Unlike most 'put this on while working' shows during this time it stayed with me (I watched startup one week ago and I'm struggling to remember any details from it whatsoever). It resonated so much that I ended up binging this thread too.

I mean, obviously, it's the show so good that it defined the concept of prestige television, sure. When I first saw it as a kid when someone lent my parents the VHS(!!!) tapes of season one, I thought it was this badass mob show where cool gangsters make funny quips and shoot people. When I watched it later in life I was like oh, actually this is a serious drama about toxic masculinity and the emptiness of modern American life. And then, watching it as a whole I realized that no, it is loving hilarious because it's a show about mobsters who think that they're making funny quips while leading toxic, empty lives. It's a real testament to the show's strength that it could be enjoyed on so many different levels, which I don't think is true of a lot of other prestige television.

But it's just so, so funny in so many little ways. University is probably one of the darkest episodes of the show but Ralphie being a sadist mobster and a Gladiator nerd is so good. The absurdity of the random one-off mobster Pussy kills in Commendatori being a diehard Elvis impersonator for no discernible reason. Carmela almost loving Davey Scatino's brother-in-law before he wises up and flees, probably saving his life. AJ thinking something is a 'Thanksgiving poem' which isn't actually a thing. So many good moments.

Two of Christopher's lines have been kind of disturbing me recently. When he's talking to Adriana -- who he's about to sell out to Tony -- and says "I gave that gently caress [Tony] pieces of my soul", and when he says "That's the man I'm going to hell for". It's so upsetting on rewatch just how horrifying the way Tony chews up and then spits out Chris is over the course of the series.

It was such a bad idea in the first place to fast-track him through the ranks (which was the source of insecurity on Chris' part, friction with Paulie, bad strategic decisions Chris made, etc) to assuage Tony's *own* insecurity about not having a confidante or someone he knew he could count on unconditionally, primarily when he screws up so badly it absolutely could not get out to the others or he'd be toast (like when Tony kills Ralphie). I'm glad that we got the Melfi-Tony dream sequence in Kennedy & Heidi to get a shot of Gandalfini selling us, the audience, with full unambiguous glee how happy Tony he was to get rid of him.

September, according to this article https://www.indiewire.com/gallery/many-saints-of-newark-release-date-cast-details/opening-date-3/

some interesting details in there, but this one specifically jumped out at me which i thought was kind of sweet

quote:

Michael Gandolfini Prepped by Watching ‘The Sopranos’ for the First Time

Before auditioning for his father’s most famous role, Michael Gandolfini had never watched a single episode of HBO’s “The Sopranos” because father James “didn’t want me to see Tony Soprano — the violence, the angry, the mean,” the young actor told Vanity Fair. “Of course I was on set and would visit him in his trailer, but I had never watched the show…I never knew Tony Soprano. I only knew my dad.”

Michael Gandolfini started watching “The Sopranos” for the first time to prep for his Tony Soprano audition. The actor said, “It was really hard to watch my dad. I recorded four hours of his monologues with [Dr.] Melfi and walked around New York with them constantly, constantly, constantly playing in my ear.”

i remember similarly, stephen colbert said he wouldn't let his kids watch colbert report, because he didn't want to explain that he was just pretending when he was on TV, and for his kids to worry if he was also just pretending when he told them that he loved them

i dunno how old michael was for the run of the sopranos though. or how old colbert's kids are for that matter

Has Michael Gandolfini been in anything notable that demonstrates his acting chops? From what I saw of him on The Deuce, he's all right but he doesn't really seem to have anything like the stage presence of his old man.

I know it's insanely racist but " Jamal Ginsburg, hasidic homeboy" always gets a chuckle out of me. I know there are countless other examples but this really shows Tony's hypocrisy, justifying his actions by saying Italians were discriminated against, and then turns around and drops racial slurs all day.
