There's a beautiful moment in the first season, in episode 1.10 'A Hit is a Hit', where Tony tells Melfi a story about a kid who used to hang around his crew, and he had a cleft palate and a speech impediment and they would keep him around so they could make fun of him. He has a pure moment of empathy where he understands this kid's pain, because Dr. Cusamano was bringing him around so he and his friends could ask him questions about the mafia and ogle him as a curiosity. And then as he wraps up this story, and he understands the pain this kid (now man) felt, he cracks another joke about him.

That's the story of Tony Soprano - it's not that he's incapable of empathy. He's very much capable of feeling the pain of others, of feeling guilt for his actions, of moral conflict with his lifestyle and his idea of being a good man, father and husband. But he can very easily shove it aside, compartmentalize it, and move on in an instant.



Yeah, and I'm glad to see David Chase seems to want to explore that with his movie. I'm specifically talking about Dicky teaching Tony how to rationalize criminal behavior as "the last time".

One thing I wanted to do was a crooked police station show set in Hoboken, New Jersey. Jim [James Gandolfini] was going to be this crooked lieutenant. The guys who played Paulie, Chris – all of them were going to be different characters, but the same types of people in the show on the other side of the law.

Travel to the southside and you can see it in person. I got a gun pulled on me by a fat Italian cop a few years ago around Christmas time. I miss Chicago.

I pulled off the highway looking for a gas station at night in Chicago once and had a shotgun pointed at me by a cop, so I don't think the story needs more than that.

I for one would like to hear more to both stories, details are the difference between the Sopranos, and, ahh gently caress, just off the top of my head, something like Analyze This.

I dunno. Story just came off so casual and one-off I thought it was kind of funny.

"Yeah, this one time an 8 foot shark swam passed me and tried to bite me. But let me tell you about the dinner I ate later..."

"I stepped on a rattlesnake once and it bit into the shovel I was carrying. So about this car I've been considering buying..."

I was thinking about watching the Rockford Files. Is there any good viewing strategy or should I just start with episode 1? It looks like Chase doesn't come into the show until season 3.

I don't know. I've never seen it. It's episodic TV so I guess start wherever you want. The show was always nominated for Emmy's and stuff so it's probably solid the whole way through.

Another David Chase show to check out is Kolchak the Night Stalker. David Chase worked on pretty much the whole show and it was a huge influence on the X-Files. It's one season and some TV movies.

I've been watching Kolchak recently and its excellent. I almost fell out of my chair when I saw David Chase appear in the credits.

Boonton is full of million dollar homes.

David Chase decided to invent the ‘Boonton Projects’ as a gently caress you to the town after he got some flack from the town about some scenes he shot.

It’s also literally less the 30 mins from the Soprano house. As a hideout spot it really was not a good one.
