If U could be Tony Soprano...
 

I love the Sopranos. I've studied the show and it's characters. I've wondered how I would react as a character given the circumstances and similarities and I think I am: Carmella Soprano; ie--hiding machine guns, bloody body parts and leftover priests--so long as I get my manicure (FRENCH!) and jewels with a bit of Meadow (quasi-student, future Mob Boss) thown in.

You?

Tony, on a bad day.

I'm SO bummed I don't have cable/HBO anymore. Second to Six Feet Under, The Sopranos is the best show ever, and I"m going to miss it.

Hmmmm...I guess I have the heart of Adrianna (may she rest in peace), the self-destructiveness of Christopher, and the bad attitude of Junior. :)

(Reminded me to change my sig line back!)

Dude-definitely.

I said Stop Right There! (imagine Meatloaf and Karla going at it)

You don't havta do the H! The smack! The Lady! C'mon, Christopher! Buck up and make a clean kill for once!

;)

What may be surprising to most folks here is that I've never watched The Sopranos. Of course, I'm aware of the basic elements of the show, and on that basis, If I were Tony Soprano, I'd get all the people that I want whacked, whacked.

Heee...well I"m not quite on Christofuh (Ade's accent) level.

I love the episode where Paulie and Chrissy are trying to find that Russian in the woods. He had beaned Chris on the head with a shovel or something. Tony is on the cell with them asking "Did you retrieve the package?" Trying to be cryptic, of course.

"The package hit Chrissy with an implement" said Paulie.

My Girl.

I like to think I'm Silvio (played by Stevie Van Zandt). Anyone who can play guitar for Springsteen and help run a successful strip club/mob joint deserves a statue in his honor.

Everyone should check out Everything Bad Is Good for You: How Today's Popular Culture Is Actually Making Us Smarter by Steven Johnson. It's a great book on how popular culture is actually training our brains and what not. He has a whole section about the Sopranos and comparing the 17 plot-lines per show to the 2 plot-lines you would find in an episode of M.A.S.H.

Hmm, now to get The Sopranos into classrooms...

The Sopranos is a favourite of mine, but I haven't watched it in a while. Shawnee- have you any idea what series that quote came from? I love Paulie and am laughing out loud at work- I'm sure people think I'm nuts....

I don't think I'm actually like anyone in the show- but I would LOVE to be Tony.

You can rent the series.

That excerpt is from the episode Pine Barrens from season 3.

thanks, I can't wait to get it out on dvd.:corn:

I've never seen a single episode myself.

I stayed in a hotel once, and saw maybe ten minutes of one episode. Seemed OK, but since I didn't know what was going on, I just turned the channel to VH1 or something.
