Another Bill posted:I heard a story once that Tony Sirico always did his own hair and never let the makeup people touch it, the only time he let them gently caress with it was during the Pine Barrens filming. Why wouldn't you put the pullover shirt on first, then do your hair? Your Gay Uncle fucked around with this message at 17:28 on Jul 10, 2022 |

Plus I imagine there'd be circumstances on set where you'd have to take your shirt on and off again, you couldn't be sure you wouldn't mess it up later.

my favorite things about this scene beyond the obvious are that a. you can see the Virgin Mary in the mirror before Paulie turns and b. that's the same song that was playing when Chrissy barged into the Bing with a gun

The cut to Paulie sitting and staring at nothing, seemingly still lost in thought contemplating what he saw however long later, is

The posts he wrote here (and also his Wire thread) were just as long and more entertaining than the published stuff I've read for those shows. I PM'd him to urge him to publish that poo poo. Or at least try. None of the Sopranos books I've read were any good

i dunno, that kind of gaudiness seems perfectly in keeping with the legacy of the show and tony sirico which is not a criticism. i love paulie and tony in all their weird little idiosyncrasies

I just read the actor who played Matthew Bevilaqua/ the kid from A Bronx Tale was involved in the murder of off duty cop in real life. He did some time in the can on a related charge. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lillo_Brancato Interestingly, it sounds somewhat similar to Christopher’s murder of the cop who supposedly whacked his dad, including his own drug problems.

Brancato was the only person besides Gannascoli that was specifically not invited to the first convention in 2019 because of the that. Gannascoli was because he's an rear end in a top hat and other cast members didn't want him there.

I don't know if he still has drug issues, but he has for a lot of his life.

Gannascoli was because he's an rear end in a top hat and other cast members didn't want him there. Wasn't he trying to sell some Soprano's themed pasta sauce or something? Of all the cast I keep hearing his name as the guy who relentlessly tries to cash in on his Sopranos cred.

A friend of mine works at a food packing plant that's bottled sauce for Steve Schirripa so Gannascoli decided to check them out. He was really full of himself and unpleasant to be around so they didn't end up making a deal with him. Gannascoli also made a bunch of claims about his relationship with Gandolfini only after he died.

I can never get over how the so called "executive" card game in the series makes no sense as some massive money maker. It was 2 civilians, Johnny Sac and Silvio. After the end the only major source of money is what they got from Dave Scatino showing up and getting like $50k. If the final take was supposedly 80 boxes of ziti, that means had he not shown up they've have made like $30k max.

I also just assume it probably works like a casino and they rake a percentage of the pot; if the stakes are high enough it's just free money, if you can make some more from loan sharking at the same time that's just gravy
