Sopranos - Season 1

dunno

lol'd when in the midst of Tony's Prozac delusions, the Tindersticks came on. Paging Claire Denis!

"Tiny Tears," right? I remember that cue.

show would be a fair bit better minus ~90% of melfi

"Cunnilingus and psychiatry brought us to this"

"You know what I think Father, I think that you like the-I don't know what to call it-the whiff of sexuality that never goes anyplace.... and that whole Carmela "intervention" scene.

There is some seriously killer dialogue in that last episode.

rewatching s1

in my 20’s i thought Tony was charming & handsome but i also kinda fell for them styling him like he was fat & balding so i never felt any kinda way, like that he was super attractive?

however

I gotta say now as a grown woman in her 40’s i would climb Gandolfini like a goddamn tree, no two ways about it. Lord.

and conversely, Carm’s hot priest is about as appealing as a wet noodle

Something yesterday that amused me. You've probably heard of Memmo, where you can pay to get a celebrity birthday message sent. I used it for my brother-in-law's birthday; Jack Armstrong, the Raptors' crazy on-air analyst, for $65. The message he recorded was pretty great.

I was scrolling through some of the names yesterday, and even the most famous local athletes like Darryl Sittler would run about $150. Meanwhile, Joseph R. Gannascoli--Vito Spatafore--was $270!

whoa

i dunno if i would pay that much for Vito tbh

lol

the thing that gets to me now is the scenes between Tony & AJ, the way AJ looks at him, the natural moments when Tony says something that makes him smile ... its v moving. Ages ago I heard the kid, Iler, talk about how he still has never watched the show bc Gandolfini was like a dad to him irl.

and i read that when he was alive, Gandolfini would call Iler’s manager to make sure Iler wasnt spending too much money on rent or hanging around the wrong people, and he would tell the manager not to tell him that he called

<3

oh shit that makes me sad all over again for JG

AJ and Meadow have a podcast together and... oof.
