JAMES GANDOLFINI IS DEAD - Duchess - 06-19-2013
The Sopranos was one of my favorite shows back when I regularly watched television. When it ended the way it did I wanted to hurt somebody. I actually rose to my feet & hollered at the television, I was pissed.
RIP Mr. Gandolfini. You were the perfect Tony Soprano.

He is awfully young to have passed.
RE: JAMES GANDOLFINI IS DEAD - Duchess - 06-19-2013
It's being reported that he suffered a massive heart attack while vacationing in Italy. He was 51.

51. I never watched the show but he looks like a guy I could enjoy having a beer with. RIP.

You killed him. You killed him.

What a shame.
Still one of my favorite shows to this day.

That shoulda been how Sopranos ended. Facefirst into the linguini.

I don't know if this guy was an asshole but he's in the news because he died.

He was a highly respected actor, admired and liked by many.
OP, I'm going to merge this thread with the other one.

Sorry I didn't check first I was posting this morning through the usual early morning haze in my head.
I read somewhere that The Sopranos literally ended mid sentence or something?
RE: JAMES GANDOLFINI IS DEAD - Duchess - 06-20-2013
No worries. I've done it as well.
RE: JAMES GANDOLFINI IS DEAD - HairOfTheDog - 06-20-2013
I really liked the Sopranos and the story line with Tony's connection to the ducks that inhabited his pool. The whole focus on his psychology, past and present, hooked me for all six seasons.
Gandolfini was great in the role (and about the only good thing in the movie, "The Mexican"). RIP.
Saw this today; tough thing for a kid to go through.
Italian news agency AGI reported that he suffered the heart attack in the bathroom of his hotel in Rome and that his 13-year-old son, Michael, alerted hotel staff after he found his father collapsed in the bathroom.

I believe he also has an infant daughter. I think she is like 8 months old.

That makes his death even more tragic.

David Chase was a brilliant writer, but I think Gandolfini bought it to life. One of the very few tv shows that I have watched all the episodes of. Ever.
RE: JAMES GANDOLFINI IS DEAD - Duchess - 06-27-2013
His funeral is today in NYC. Last night the lights were dimmed on Broadway.

Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine. The vultures are already setting up to capture every tear.
