      I know. It's sad. Paulie was my favorite character. Tony was just so damn good playing him. I hope they do a similar documentary for him as well. His real life story is actually amazing. I watched the interview with him from 1989, and I can't believe how mean he seemed to have been when he was younger. Talking about beating the shit out of guys just for talking to his girlfriend. The interviewer asked him if he ever killed anyone, and he hesitated at first but then said no. Of course he wasn't gonna say yes, even if he DID kill anyone. But, him turning his life around, and becoming an actor, is incredible, and inspiring.

You making that comment tells you why James was so Amazing, cause he played a heartless Mob Boss who was a stone cold killer, and it was so believable, you really thought he was like that, but in real life he had a heart as big as a Lion. I had the whole Box Set on DVD. Shit cost like $130, but I got my watch on for like 2 months, everyday I would go straight to the beer store, buy me a 12 pack and watch the Sopranos until they were watching me, passed out. LMAO. Great times. The Sopranos got me through my Korea tour in the Army, on the DMZ, when nothing else would.

      Big hearted people, have the ability to be the complete opposite, if they need to. I'm one of those people as well. We basically flip the pancake. Regular people call it Bipolar, but it's not really. Really the scientific name for it is Empath. We feel everything with very high sensitivity. It seriously sucks at time because there aren't many times our emottions don't take us for a wild ride. James was the real deal and I think his acting came very natural to him.

    Beautiful poem by Dominic Chianese (Corrado Junior Soprano):
    You can travel down the road,
    Check on every vine,
    You can travel down the road,
    You can travel down the line.
    But there were few like Jimmy,
    He was homemade wine.
    Honest, good, pure, nothing added.
    Wants you to have a good time,
    Sharing with friends like family.
    He was homemade wine.
    You need a dollar? You got Jim.
    Loyalty and truthfulness, that was him.
    Believing in something good out there.
    Never got in the way, he was always fair.
    A good brother, a good son, good father.
    He always tried his best.
    And all the rest,
    He was homemade wine.

    It’s crazy how COVID is the reason I saw the entire Sopranos and became a die hard fan very fast. Part of me regrets not seeing it when it first came out, but then again I would’ve been way too young. A big part of me is happy I got to see it older but now I’m a grown ass man missing someone as if they just recently passed. Jimmy’s passing was too soon but it’s crazy how he continues to impact people’s lives so many years later after his death… like me. This guy literally makes me want to be a better person in all aspects of life.

How lucky we all are to have been able to witness the history being made for 6 seasons, every Sunday night during those seasons, we knew that we could pause what we were doing, and watch this groundbreaking historic show give us all something we had never seen before, and sadly never will again.

      Same to my brother who passed one year ago. He was even too mild and too cruel in the same time, not to mention the physical posture and even boldness. When I used to meet him after several months of absence I called him Tony. Really, man. I watch this, and remind those times he used to smile as a child on Tony. Big bold scary man being a child, this is something.

    Very few actors have the same presence and depth that Gandolfini had. They are completely right when they say that he projected unique emotion when acting. His body language is almost contagious--when watching him act, many start to mirror him subconsciously because of how well the audience connects with him on screen. This is actually what makes James my all-time favourite actor.
