Took a break from indie flicks to watch a few SOPRANOS. Every superlative has already been used for the show, and deservedly so. To call it the greatest televised drama is like saying WIZARD OF OZ is entertaining or that Beethoven wrote some good tunes.
And it struck me that playing Tony probably took a few years off the too-short life of Gandolfini. The brutal shooting schedule, all the emotional requirements, especially the dark, dark places he had to access...it took its toll on the man, I think.
