Christopher Vs Artie Fight - The Sopranos HD

[@chriswilson9011]

Is anyone else shocked that Artie made it through the series alive? Not only this, or going after Benny at his apartment, he once pulled a gun on Tony. Jesus that's one lucky fuck.

[@arserobinson7118]

and the business with the brandy where he lost 50,000. Being Tony's lifelong friend was totally the sole reason he lived through all 6 seasons. Artie wasn't that bright, he didn't think about what his big mouth or actions might lead to.

Being Tony's friend was solely the reason he did all those things that would have put his life in danger had he not been Tony's friend.

[@possessedslig]

The thing that makes me laugh about Artie is he actually had a decent life and didn't even seem to realise it. A talented chef, his own restaurant, a hot wife. If he'd have acted his age a bit more he would have been very respectable.

[@jorgeguerrero3455]

Well, that's debatable; wife was hot but usually didn't dress up for him, she hardly repsected him and would bust his balls more often than not, she was bitchy especially with him. She was no model wife either, Tony had had her too. The restaurant? Paid the bills, didn't make him rich and HE was the business; without him there was no restaurant. Hot hostesses would only take advantage of his weakness for his desire for young hotties to exploit the hell out of him, rob him then spit on his face by dating young hoodlooms who would come into the restaurant like the hostess was on her lunch break when she was supposed to be working.

[@JoeSmith-dl9ok]

Jorge-Charmaine was hot as fuck, she just didn’t want him associating w mobsters, which is what led to most, if not all, of his problems. If you’re in the restaurant business you ARE the business, that’s how it goes. Artie wanted to play gangster, that’s where he fucked up

[@jorgeguerrero3455]

@@JoeSmith-dl9ok That's true... and yes she was hot, very hot, but she treated him like shit most of the time and didn't really dress hot for HIM, maybe for the business but that's very different. Goes without saying Artie was foolish in trying to fool around with young hot waitresses and hostesses right in front of her, that really didn't help his incel situation.

At the end of the series the Buccos are still alive and intact while everyone around them were either dead or broken. Artie was lucky to have a wife like her, he could’ve easily married someone passive and greedy that didn’t actually care about him.

James Gandolfini was built for the role of Tony Soprano. RIP. He was such a natural at this role. I never once felt he tried to overact. Every scene had you wondering what he's going to do next.

Probably the most intense and realistic argument between a married couple i've ever seen.

Artie was Tony's best friend. He got a pass for pointing a loaded hunting rifle at Tony. He got a pass for owing Tony 50 grand. He beat the brakes off of Benny. Insulted anyone. Wasn't afraid to die. He was more gangster than anyone in Tony's family. Except for maybe Sil

The only reason Artie got away with that shit is because Tony actually cared about him. But for that, Artie woulda been a sandwich at Holstens.

[@bearcat648]

Artie was Tony's only 100% genuine friend. He didn't want anything from Tony. He knew him for decades, but hardly ever made use of his position. The only thing he seemed to get out of it was a certain thrill from hanging with mobsters, but even that didn't really impress him. He was throwing cold cuts at Tony like they were kids. I think for Tony, his friendship with Artie could allow him to feel more normal, like just a regular businessman. Similarly, Tony never treated anything Artie did as having an ulterior motive. He didn't point the gun at him to play some power game, he did it because he was so angry and understandably felt a little powerless against a mob boss. Richie Aprile could make a passive aggressive joke and it would infuriate Tony, whereas Artie could do some really stupid stuff, and it might piss Tony off, but it was the problems that you have with a close friend who is sometimes a little crazy, and nothing more.

[@EnriqueDeloSantos603]

minute 1:43 Holy crap Gandolfini was an amazing actor. Check out the intensity when he slaps and grabs Artie and asks what is wrong with him. He really carried the show and set the tone for everyone to step it up

[@GhostOfBugsy]

Jovani Paredes He got paid nicely to do that. Lots of guys could have played that part.

[@GhostOfBugsy]

Jovani Paredes Set the tone? Really? Like when he went on his drug benders and left the crew waiting for a week at a time while he was awol? Read a about the whole story.

[@EnriqueDeloSantos603]

I'm referring to his acting chops. He was fantastic in this role...whatever personal issues he had didn't necessarily impact what his final performance ended up being on screen. By "setting the tone" I am stating that he placed a great deal of attention to his craft and we saw it play out on the other actors on the show. Regarding his personal issues: A lot of actors have issues on and off the set - those issues don't do a thing in changing the perspective of a GOOD performance when it is GOOD. Do you disagree? And whether he got "paid nicely" or not is irrelevant...... Do you have a personal beef with the man? Because it sounds like you do. Diminishing his accomplishments on the show by stating that "lots of guys could have played that part" is you removing what was special about how he acted IN THE PART (which was the sole reason for my post). It's fine if you disagree on how great his acting was - you have every right to disagree....but what do the things you bring up have to do with the way his performance ended up being? Paid nicely - ya ok....that's great for him - but what does $ have to do with anything? lots of guys could have played that part - "coulda, shoulda, woulda" - this a hypothetical and holds no bearing here because we will never know how. Drug benders leaving the crew waiting for a week - so he was unprofessional, he's not the first and won't be the last...are you free of any issues? Again - what do any of the three points you mentioned have to do with Gandolfini's great acting?????
