THE Sopranos thread

[Skidfingers McGonical]

It's really upsetting, I hope that doesn't sound dramatic but it really is, I have also thought about the fact he was overweight and how easily these things can happen, although I'd be lying if I said this sausage and black pudding butty wasn't very comforting at this time.

 

Did you manage to get one and did it help?

[JohnnyH]

When is it ok to start the jokes? This is the GF after all.....

[18and5]

RIP T.

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

Shit news. One of my favourite actors ever.

 

Extremely sad news, a big fan of his talent.

 

I'm in exactly the same boat, I've had very similar thoughts this morning.

 

Same here. Not on his level but best to nip it in the bud.

 

You can add me to that list.

Again not that big but hit 30 this year and want the weight off to help my knees and general fitness.

 

If you smoke, give that shit up. I've not had a cigarette for 9 months and have never felt better. Get yourselves the electronic versions if you can't give up.

 

Get yourselves a pedometer and find out how many steps you do a day and then bump it up if really low. You will need to change your diet too.

 

So simple to do...

[Pony Princess]

Sad times. I gave up the midweek boozing and invested my time into watching quality tv series (Sopranos and The Wire being my first ventures). Never looked back since - my body thanks my for it I am sure because my midweek drinking was heavy.

 

James Gandolfini's Tony Soprano engrossed me and on the way helped me become a better person (apart from my faggyness). Pyar gutted when I read the news this morning.

 

I'm usually a sarky cunt when people die because most people suck and I don't care that they are dead, but I was actually sad this morning when I heard the news.

Sky Atlantic have started showing it from the very beginning this evening.

 

Nightly or weekly?

 

This was next on my hit list.....although hadn't planned on starting it immediately

[Chairman Meow]

I was already on another run through and I'm halfway through the last series. Last night Tony was laughing about Phil having heart trouble.

 

Also as others have said, its only on watching through again that you really appreciate how much of a pain on the arse Carmela is. On first run through I had some sympathy for her, now I just think she's a spoilt, selfish bitch.

[JagSquared]

I tbink ive watcbed it through 4 times. Agree about carmela but You realise how selfish tony is and how much of an arse he could be. Great actor that you could love and hate him at tbe same time

[Scott_M]

He never saw it coming

[VladimirIlyich]
