Rest in peace, James Gandolfini; also known as Tony Soprano.
This sucks. 51 years old, and he dies from a heart attack. I guess there won't be a Sopranos movie after all, now.

Nobody mourns a celebrity death for the person, even if they think they do. Comments like "I don't get a lot of the hero worship here" are best left out of online obituary threads. No matter what anybody thought of him as an overall actor, he absolutely nailed the role of Tony Soprano, and I don't care if you didn't like the show; a ton of people did.

Actually, it's life. Or in this case, death. My brother getting hit by a motorcycle and dying one late Saturday night when he was 20 year old, that was stupid. Gandolfini had a good, full life.
It'll happen to everyone, so like I said..... it's life.

It's the stupidest part of life. And I'm happy for you that you've gotten to a place where you're able to just accept death as a part of life, I really hope I can get there one day. But for now I hate it. I hate death and everything about it. And I think it's stupid.
From everything I've heard about James he was a great, kind, lovable person. And he played one of the greatest, most iconic rolls in television history. I'm genuinely sad he's dead. And I don't give 2 shits how anybody else feels about that. RIP.

His acting had zero impact in my life as I saw maybe 2 Soprano episodes.
Guys like Ray Manzarek of the Doors who died recently and barely got a sniff from those on this board had a major affect on my life with the amazing music he made that will never die.
Jazzhawk wrote:No, I didn't. And for one who craps on every thread he sees, that's damned ironic of you to criticize. Fact is, I'm sad he died, and it always worries me when one of my generation passes away, especially when he's younger than me. Tho not a huge fan of 'The Sopranos', I've always liked and admired his work.
So, ef you too. Your post was very prick-like.

Ray Manzarek was an awesome drummer and deserves respect. However, he was the drummer for a band with an iconic front man and not a lot of people are going to recognize that.
James Gandolfini was the star of one of the best TV shows ever.

Yes, you did. If you went to a random funeral and the son of the person in the casket at said funeral said "This is so stupid", hating the fact that his mother or father just died, and you replied with what you did here - "Actually, no, that's life." You'd get punched in the face. It may not have been your intent, but intent is irrelevant and the fact of the matter is that your response was disrespectfully cheeky in an "X has passed away" thread. I've also not once ever trolled or crapped on any thread about anyone who has passed away. Even people I don't like, I have more respect than that for; so, I guess you know where that "ef you too" can go.

Incorrect Mr. Factoid. John Densmore was the drummer of the Doors. Ray Manzarek created all the iconic keyboards of the Doors AND played bass at the same time, also on the keys.
Maybe think next time before posting?
