  ...having to eat all that artery-clogging ziti, episode after episode, take after take, while making the Sopranos couldn't have helped him.

  'David Remnick on the sudden death of James Gandolfini: "In the dozens of hours he had on the screen, he made Tony Soprano—lovable, repulsive, cunning, ignorant, brutal—more ruthlessly alive than any character we’ve ever encountered in television." '
  
  Combining all these oppositional traits into one character was genius.

    • My first time as well. Some chilling lines like when he was telling Patricia Arquette about the first time - Road Warrior 20:31:49 06/19/13 (1)

      he killed someone, "...the bitch of the bunch...". Terrific scene in the hotel room when he was trying to kill Arquette.

        Then he continues.
        
        Another brilliant scene was between Walken and Hopper. The "eggplant/cantelope" comments were pure ad lib according to Tarrantino (writer). He said it was a miracle the movie survived that scene because it was the high point of the film and it was before midpoint.

  James Gandolfini was a big reason why. A very, very sad day. R.I.P.

    I don't know anything about the guy, but from the trailers I've seen I figured he was at least late 50's.
