I'm surprised he didn't have one when Adrianna walked into the room. I'd be pale as a sheet in his place because all my blood would be collecting elsewhere lol. Damn she was hot!
I read that Robert Loggia (Feech), who was ill with cancer at this time, had a hard time remembering his lines and blew a lot of takes. Jim G took special pains to help Loggia with his lines and worked late into the night to reshoot scenes with him to make sure they were perfect. Every account of Jim G relates what a great man he was.
I think he had dementia at the time. He was written out of the show so quickly because of those very issues. Still, with great direction and editing, the Feech character is one of the best-played supporting characters in the whole show. Feels like a real person.
He shit him down because Tony has institutional power as Boss, but Feech had a Loooot of influential power being his age, doing time, and being made in Italy. So yes Tony was for sure feeling threatened.
@John Smith he definitely felt threatened Feech literally says he should be dead. Maybe he's not scared of him but he recognizes him as a threat to his position.
@mcharleau I don’t think Feech was doing it to undermine Tony, I think he’s just old. No wife or kids, all those years away, all he really has left is his legacy and image. Frankly, I think it was Tony that provoked Feech first. He couldn’t just let the old man have the room during that card game, you can tell by this scene that Feech just wanted to run it for the sentiment, re-live the gold ole days before he went away. Then Tony comes in while he’s reminiscing and asserts his dominance where it’s not necessary. Feech reacts with “Jesus Christ how many times this guy gotta say hello?” And Tony puts himself in a position where he has to re-assert himself and Feech gets pissed.
I liked Feech just for the character. But it's crazy when you think about it logistically, these old guys get out, and Feech is doing nickle-and-dime stuff like trying to strong arm some local lawncare company with 2 employees for a few pennies. These old guys like Paulie and Feech and even Richie Aprile had no perspective. You have younger guys skimming massive amounts on construction contracts, housing, etc., and you have these older guys trying to squeeze a few hundred from broke local gardeners, or idiots like Richie Aprile who are given choice garbage contracts and try to double-dip by having the drivers sell cocaine on the routes, which endangers the easy money. Plus Feech is on parole, it just isn't worth it to beat a guy half to death in broad daylight for a few hundred dollars. They really didn't progress with the times.
Agreed. It takes a lot of work, memorization and repetition to look like they're not trying. That's what good actors do.They take what's written on the page, study it thoroughly, memorize it and make it seem like they just came up with it on the spot. Some can do it with just one reading. Some are allowed to improvise. Most have to do it the old-fashioned way: Learn the lines and practice until it's right.
Yeah ma man could sing play guitar and Bruce's e street and on top of that besides Tom hagen be the best counsilger man Steven van is talented from love pop songs to hard rock and an awesome member of la costar nostra
and he's like that because he likes his position as the Consiglier he never wanted to be the boss so he does everything he can for Tony to succeed as a boss they'd be actually way stronger as a family if all of them had this kind of synergy with each other, the irony of bad guys having to be good guys to each other to be able to be successful at being bad guys.
Even though he is tired of Feech antics, Tony is somewhat sympathetic towards him at the end, "He's old...." He understands where Feech is coming from...
he's also probably feeling some guilt over all the time feech spent in the can. like, just a couple years prior, he had to kill pussy because he wasn't willing to. and what gratitude does he get? it's the same problem he had with ritchie, but at least he nipped this in the bud.
Well Feech was only made because of a famous hit that he did to some woman who was an informant. He seduced the woman and eventually had his wingtip shoe in the womans snatch. Once he took the shoe off, the girl keeled over and died. KAY POOTS
The way Feech says “… the night he beat that longshoremen to death over a corner table” so casually is absolute pure comedy to me 😂. The man was a complete psychopath.
Can someone tell me what's Feech on about at 2:43 about some game he took down? So is he blaming that Tony took his game down but he did nothing or said nothing to Tony? I didn't quite get what Sylvio said straight after that too?
@@mr8883 Tony and Jackie Aprille robbed one of Feechs card games when he was young. He was supposed to get a beating for it at least (Feech thinks he should be dead) but because Tony’s father had a lot of friends he was able to get Tony off the hook. Ralph mentioned that it actually put Tony on a fast track to being made.
Feech interrupts important business meeting. Feech hits on Ade, annoying Chris. Feech brags about crimes he witnessed. Tony interrupts because it's a bad habit. Story of Tony robbing Feech gets brought up by Sil because Sil doesnt like Feech. Chris encourages it, annoying Feech. Feech tries to frame the story in a way that makes Tony look weak. Tony cuts him off. Feech demands an audience to get "his" game back. Tony placates him. Sil advises that something be done about Feech. Tony pities him too much.
just realized that when Sil points up to get Tony to listen to the song, it's because it's a song by Sil's actor's (Steven Van Zandt's) band. nice lil easter egg that i never knew
I'm still convinced the infamous card game heist was sanctioned. Given Feech's attitude toward authority, the old bosses would have wanted to bring him down a notch, but according to the rules, they couldn't just whack him, rough him up, or even tax him without some sort of justification. Hence, the kid-crew is sent in to humiliate him - then they're supposedly forgiven because of their connections while "the right people get their money back".... i.e., it served no purpose other than humiliating Feech. The heist was sanctioned, secretly, but sanctioned just the same.
Nah Ralphie said that Tone and Jackie came up with the idea to polish their careers in the mob. There was no indication that this was sanctioned by other made guys
So many nuances. Tony’s look when the young guys are impressed with Feechs story. Like maybe they would be loyal to feech and not tony. He instantly sees the potential threat.
MP R It’s weird because I thought by the ‘50s most wise guys were already second generation, but here you have guys like Feech or Carmine Snr who were made in the old country
@Miguel Mauro He was romantically referring to the strength of their generation for living through the 40s, not suggesting that Livia or Junior themselves literally experienced the war first-hand in Italy or anything.
Everything he did was disrespectful. Don Antonio, kiss the ring, commenting on another made guys fiance, ordering people out of the room, telling the story saying Tony was a punk and scared.
@Miguel Mauro u are correct in using the term "escaped Mussolini" because after the fascists took over, they declared war on the mafia. They would drag them out of their hiding places and hang the gangsters from the highest light poll. It got so bad, they had to run to America.
I never realized that when Sil says “Or if his old man didn’t have so many friends” he’s actually referring to himself and is reminding Feech that he is currently surrounded by men who would kill and die for Tony
“Or if his old man didn’t have so many friends”. Silvio’s whole appearance and lines may have been funny at times but scenes like this subtly remind the audience that he’s a gangster through and through. Steven was born to play this role. If at the time you want to NJ and visited a restaurant and saw these guys eating a meal; you’d know these dudes are all killers. Especially Silvio.
Silvio is the type of dude other dudes hang themselves over when they can't pay him back. The way he handled Ralph once he tracked down Tracee was another scene where Steven shone. Even a creepy ass Ted Bundy-esque weirdo like Ralph, who probably had a bodycount like Gary Ridgway knew not to fuck with Silvio Dante.
"He's old.... How do you think that feels?" Wow. The writing, the amazing acting from Robert Loggia, James Gandolfini, and the rest. The Feech storyline is one of the best of a great show.
And he goes in order. Hugs the boss first, then the consigliere, then the soldier. Shakes the hands of the two associates. The attention-to-detail in every aspect of this show was off the charts.
@@saulbennett4677 If Richie had lived, Jackie Jr would have been part of the game whether Tony liked it or not. Tony didn't care that Jackie Jr attended a Barone meeting as that was on Richie's conscience to bring him in when Jackie Sr was dead against it. Richie would have molded Jackie Jr into a real wiseguy.
If Feech would’ve kept to running card games where he could tell stories and jokes to Tony’s crew and some high-rollers, he could’ve had a great retirement doing what he seemed to really enjoy.
Sil's qualities as a top consiligiere really shine in this scene, notices how Tony barely said anything to feed Feech's ego, it was Sil throwing the punches and quips to remind Feech Tone is still the fucking boss of the family, and much like the card game robbery he cant do shit about it
The real Consiligiere is Uncle Junior Silvio is more like an underboss ( I know the official ranking Junior is boss and Silvio is Consiglieri). Still, practically it was Junior who Tony came to with honest advice. And Silvio was soo in line with the capos he was basically underboss
@@retardosaurusrex360 True. He felt Tony used him as a stepping stone for being made (the card game). Plus all of the guys that got out of the can had a chip on their shoulder and felt like they were owed something.
Feech really wasn't an asshole to everyone lol just Tony and Paulie.. The other guys aside from Sil, loved him and so did NY.. Thats why in their last meeting when Feech lets slip that Johnny Sack has been helping him make moves, Tony knew he had to take care of him
I love when Silvio goes out and talks to Adriana and you don't hear what he says and then when the door opens again when the guys leave the music has changed and Sil looks at Tony, and he smiles and nods. Those little details are what keep me still interested in this show and continue watching it today
I love how Tony keeps things in perspective here with Feech, it was the thing thing to do give him some of that game back he went to prison for the family… and how they guys and younger guys dont appreciate Feech and Tony says “he’s old how do you think that feels” double meaning as it sucks getting old and he’s old he has earned the tight to be the way he is like it or not Feech made the family what is is today by what he did back then and that deserves respect.
"The top spot would've gone to Little Carmine, unless he was actually retarded or something" Feech was away a long time maybe they didn't go up there and tell him
I think that’s why he added “actually”. It’s like he knows carmine’s really stupid but not legitimately mentally challenged, at least as far as we know
@@carlossantana3338 that's true, but you wonder if it could still be used to justify an ongoing case or investigation, because while it is a term of respect, it's respect in regards to authority rather than respect as consideration. I could see it being an issue in the US - but you could be right. Any lawyers here?
Sil puts feech in his place, even feech knew retribution against the sopranos back in the day wouldn't be a wise move , even after young Tony's actions against a made guy's game..
When the door opens and Sil stops for a second to hear the song with Tony...I mean right there! These little moments and details they were putting in that show..they make it so natural. You gotta love every single one of them. Masterpiece..
While Feech didn't help himself with some of his later actions, I felt Tony and Sil also gave him a hard time considering he'd just done 20 years for the family.
"Let me get out of here before I keep talking and fuck this up." Feech has the vibes of a kid being forced to tell his aunt he loved the socks she gave him for Christmas
Feech: "You'll still keep a lion's share of the rake. I'm just asking if I can run it for you." Tony: "Alright, fine. I'll let you run the game simply because I respect you. You'll benefit from the entire operation that we've spent years building up. Our bankroll, hotel suite, fully stocked bar, catered food, and big betting customers are all at your disposal. I'll even let you keep 20% of the profit. But the game has to remain where it is." Feech: *Starts complaining*
Sil is a master. He changes the nature of the conversation so that even though Feech is still telling the story, he’s no longer in command of the room, now it’s Tony’s again because the story is one where he is dominant over Feech.
Who was Feech La Manna talking about around 1:04-1:12?... Also, what was the first half of what he said, again?... I couldn't really tell what it was that he said.
Feech is right. If the young guys knew about how Richie Aprile got the jacket off Rocco DiMeo, who had the toughest reputation in Essex County, a lot of the later trouble with New York could have been avoided.
0:57 one of the phew times you see Tony, at least this far in, actually showing some gratitude. The complete lack of hospitality these people have is astounding so the slightest glimpse of them actually saying thank you and meaning it is refreshing.
A lot can be said about this scene but maaaaan!! Sil with those assists were nice!! He see the resentment and bitterness Feech has for Tony and is ready to help assist take him down a few notches with his back in the day ass.

The other two weren't made guys. They had to settle for handshakes. It was real greaseball stuff
among the italians.
I love how Tony keeps things in perspective here with Feech, it was the thing thing to do give him some of that game back he went to prison for the family… and how they guys and younger guys dont appreciate Feech and Tony says “he’s old how do you think that feels” double meaning as it sucks getting old and he’s old he has earned the tight to be the way he is like it or not Feech made the family what is is today by what he did back then and that deserves respect.
So the song is a Little Steven song and Sil points up to refer to the song, his own song? I lold.
DaBase333 wat zeg je?
Damn... theyre breakin the fourth wall
It was so natural, Gandolfini's reaction
I went back and looked for it. What a great little hidden moment.
"Nobody Loves and Leaves Alive" by Little Steven and the Lost Boys.
Slim Charles: the thing about the old days…they the old days
👌🏾
The way they set Feech up was flawless, Tony knew that he wouldn't resist to get involved even though he was on a parole.
Tony’s look when Benny asks a question 😂 priceless.
"The top spot would've gone to Little Carmine, unless he was actually retarded or something"
Feech was away a long time maybe they didn't go up there and tell him
I think that’s why he added “actually”. It’s like he knows carmine’s really stupid but not legitimately mentally challenged, at least as far as we know
He’s the son !!
Bringing up Feech's card game is like Silvio's instant payback because Feech disrespected Adriana.
And then sil killed her
@@faisalkamal4319 stop it
@@faisalkamal4319 She knew the cost.
@@faisalkamal4319 I mean they really had no choice at that point. Rats are not well liked in the mafia.
Sil is the definition of a good underboss. Anytime he can tell that Tony is annoyed or uncomfortable he switches things to his favor
0:04 the look on Tony's face like Christopher I can't even with you today lol
This the only time in the show were someone calls tony don Antonio
They should have kept it in the show on the regular. Sounds badass.
Not a smart thing to say/title to use too often, post RICO.
@@daviddedominici1705 don is a sign of respect doesn’t have to mean boss
@@carlossantana3338 that's true, but you wonder if it could still be used to justify an ongoing case or investigation, because while it is a term of respect, it's respect in regards to authority rather than respect as consideration.
I could see it being an issue in the US - but you could be right. Any lawyers here?
@@daviddedominici1705 all old Italians refer to each other with don
that music in the background is from Vito at the gay bar!
flashing for money
Ita one of the actors songs in real life. That's why he points it out.
You oughta know sweetie
Silvio's actor plays in a band, it's one of their songs.
Allegedly
Feech just basically said that Tony never had the makings of a varsity stick-up kid.
Tony’s look when Benny gives Feech one more reason to waffle on.
Sil puts feech in his place, even feech knew retribution against the sopranos back in the day wouldn't be a wise move , even after young Tony's actions against a made guy's game..
Yea Tony had his father and junior also Jackie had Richie so they were well protected.
When the door opens and Sil stops for a second to hear the song with Tony...I mean right there! These little moments and details they were putting in that show..they make it so natural. You gotta love every single one of them. Masterpiece..
Everybody needs a friend like sil
Chrissie, Little Paulie and Benny don’t leave till Tony gives the order. Nice touch.
Season 5 next to Season 3 were always my 2 favorite seasons. So many colorful characters.
Great directing when feech asks for a minute. Tony looks to Chris to say ok, then Chris to LP and Bennie
The little things make this show so great
Love how tony looks at feech like “what a piece of shit” when he’s hitting on ade but 1 season later he almost bangs her
That's pretty much the entire show. Tony upholds some kind of moral standard only to break it later. Or the opposite happens.
Same season, actually.
Do yall think him and ade would've done it if not for that car accident
@D Thorn lol why
@@anti4330 t
Tony wouldve and she wasnt gonna say no
"Mr. President if you wish to deploy, the time is now".
" You gotta disable it now!"
"Get on the horn with the pentagon, and tell them we know how to take those sons a bitches down"
Order the hit.
I thought this was gonna be a video of Feech talking about Dynaflows, The Maguire Sisters, and shit like that.
loll
Dynaflows was my favourite character, wish they'd done more with it.
Good one ha
'Otherwise, SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!"
That subtle blink of Tony, after Feech saying he should be dead by now.
“He’s a stroonze” best line by Silvio
I love that disgusted dismissal by Tony of the dumb shit Chrissy says at the beginning of the clip lol
Tony’s, so smart,
“He’s old,how do ya think that feels?”
Wat a line
I learned recently the man who played French struggled remembering lines I’m so happy he pulled it off
The look Tony gives benny when he asks Feech a question because he knows he gonna hear a story which takes about 15 minutes from feech😭😭😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
classic 😂
Sil’s suit was 🔥 in this scene!
Actor that played feetch played his character perfect. When you really hate a character you know that are good
He was Tonys boss...in Scarface.
The song detail, makes the show seem so real. loved it
Adrianna is really a beauty.
While Feech didn't help himself with some of his later actions, I felt Tony and Sil also gave him a hard time considering he'd just done 20 years for the family.
3:11 I only just realised Feech called Tony, 'Don Antonio'
R.I.P. Robert Loggia and James Gandolfini, 2 superb actors.
😂😂 he's just a coward
"Let me get out of here before I keep talking and fuck this up." Feech has the vibes of a kid being forced to tell his aunt he loved the socks she gave him for Christmas
Feech: "You'll still keep a lion's share of the rake. I'm just asking if I can run it for you."
Tony: "Alright, fine. I'll let you run the game simply because I respect you. You'll benefit from the entire operation that we've spent years building up. Our bankroll, hotel suite, fully stocked bar, catered food, and big betting customers are all at your disposal. I'll even let you keep 20% of the profit. But the game has to remain where it is."
Feech: *Starts complaining*
Sil is a master. He changes the nature of the conversation so that even though Feech is still telling the story, he’s no longer in command of the room, now it’s Tony’s again because the story is one where he is dominant over Feech.
He's old, how do you think that feels? ... eerie statement
"He's old. How do you think that feels".....
“It’s just that ‘Remember When...’ is the lowest form of conversation.”
- Tony Soprano
There were so many disrespectful signs here from Feech.
Pretty sure Tony noted everyone of them.
0:11 Feech laughed at Tony's joke after all
Love how Sil remind Feech that it wasnt up to him what happened to Tony after he robbed the game.
There he ish, the king of breadsticks! 🍞 👑
Who was Feech La Manna talking about around 1:04-1:12?...
Also, what was the first half of what he said, again?...
I couldn't really tell what it was that he said.
I like how frustrated Tony is with Chrissy in the beginning lmao
I love how Tony gives Feech respect even though he’s a total pain in the ass. He understands the rules.
Here we go. Memory lane. Love that line and the way he delivers it.
song is Little Steven & the Lost Boys - Nobody Loves and Leaves Alive
ralph122 I knew I’d find what sil’s gesture meant
It was a joke on set. I bet.
I miss my tony. Rip Mr gandolfini. What a nice man.
Toni's last sentence. Very sentimental. Then he puts Feech back in the klink lol.
You’re forgiven even if you haven’t forgotten is such a great damn line
Feech looks like a Sicilian Trump, LOL
Fan Made Videos Make Da Bada Bing great again!
I’d vote for him!
Make LCN great again
When i see a title saying Feech talks about the old days i expect to see every feech clip
When i was coming up she had the long shinebox up to here like that. famous beauty, smart as a whip
...she was a made guy, I wish they'd done more with her, real greaseball varsity
Feech is right. If the young guys knew about how Richie Aprile got the jacket off Rocco DiMeo, who had the toughest reputation in Essex County, a lot of the later trouble with New York could have been avoided.
its the jacket!
0:57 one of the phew times you see Tony, at least this far in, actually showing some gratitude. The complete lack of hospitality these people have is astounding so the slightest glimpse of them actually saying thank you and meaning it is refreshing.
He was being additionally gracious and appreciative because of Feech’s disrespectful remark to her
@@TheAstonishingly Absolutely.
2:08 I love how Feech asks for the room and Tony nods to Chris giving the ok and then Chris nods to the guys to get out
Sil always seemed to have his head in the right direction
2:17 - A Beautiful Lighthearted Easter Egg moment. Sil… a Legend in 2 games.
@ 0:50 when Ade walks in the song is the same one Vito was dancing too with the cupcake when we was caught
A lot can be said about this scene but maaaaan!! Sil with those assists were nice!! He see the resentment and bitterness Feech has for Tony and is ready to help assist take him down a few notches with his back in the day ass.
