    Who's your favorite sopranos character?

    Most peopleI know love Paulie but it's Livia for me.

    Tonys mother http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0042972/

    My favorite is "Corrado 'Junior' Soprano" gotta love some of his lines.

    "You heard about the Chinese Godfather? He made them an offer they couldn't understand.

    "Guy comes home with a bouquet of flowers for his wife. "I guess I'll have to spread my legs now.", she says. "Why?", he asks, "don't ya have a vase?"

    Mikey Palmice: I think you should've taken care of this Christopher Moltisanti thing the minute it first happened. You should've sent a clear-cut signal... You **** with Junior Soprano-
    Uncle Junior: Take it easy. We're not making a western here.

    Wow how can you like Livia? every time she was on the screen I wanted to stab her in the eye

    I liked Furio and Tony himself


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,907 ✭✭✭Badabing


    Ralphie was a brillant character, well acted very funny, how he died was pure class!
    But Tony was by a mile the best character


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,984 ✭✭✭✭Lump


    Tony's a legend - Winner for me

    :D

    Yeah she was horrible, but she was such a strong character, I just loved how everything she did was for attention and to divide others. She's just such a repulsive person. Especially all her talk of infanticide

    Two of Juniors best

    "Anthony is a kunt hair away from controlling North Jersey.....and I am that kunthair"

    "If your gonna lie to me you could at least tell me theres a young broad outside who wants to tongue my balls" :D

    Favourite had to be Paulie or Ralphie.

    Tony's probably the best but I always liked Sil

    Silvio-for reasons that have nothing to do with the show ;)

    In both fields, he's the Boss's right hand man


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,978 ✭✭✭GhostInTheRuins


    Paulie and Chrissie. On their own they're great, but put them together and it was always quality television.

    Junior is up there too.

    I concur, was shocked when i first saw him as Silvio didnt look at all like the Steve Van Zandt id known before, what a transformation.

    I loved how whenever Silvio got involved you know something serious was going down i.e When Tony calls Adriana and tells her hes sending Silvio over to "take her to the hospital to see suicidal Christopher", I knew imediatley what was going to go down.

    and of course his Godfather impressions "Just when i though i was out, they pull me back in"

    Paulie has some great lines; I especially love his revelation of purgatory:
    They take all your mortal sins, multiply it by 50, then your venial sins and multiply that by 25. I figure I'll be there for 6000 years. But that's nothing in eternity terms. Thats a couple of days our time. i could do it standing on my head.

    Genius


    But Livia has all the best lines;

    "Psychiatry? Pffff it's a racket for the jews"
    "A jew riding horses?"
    "I gave my life to my children, on a silver platter.

    Silvio was da man for me. His ability to look grumpy in just about every possible scenario was incredible. I did have a soft spot for Paulie too - remember his inputs into Chrissie's 'intervention' before he went off to rehab?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 94 ✭✭mc23


    Its Paulie for me. That episode where himself and Chris get lost in the woods and its snowing was genius.

    yeah that would be "Pine Barrens" a favourite among many Soprano fans inc myself.


    Christopher Moltisanti:
    Russians? They're not all bad.
    Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: How 'bout the Cuban Missile Crisis? Cocksuckers flew four nuclear missiles into Cuba, pointed them right at us.
    Christopher Moltisanti: That was real? I saw that movie, I thought it was bullsh1t.

    Christopher Moltisanti:
    For all we know, he could be out there stalking us.
    Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: With what? His cock?

    Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: You're not gonna believe this. He killed sixteen Czechoslovakians. Guy was an interior decorator.
    Christopher Moltisanti: His house looked like sh1t.

    From Wikipedia:

    Much of the episode "Pine Barrens" is devoted to the failings of Paulie and Christopher as they attempt to survive a single day and night in a snowy wilderness after a botched execution. In this episode, Tony by phone tells them to be careful with the subject of their execution as he once allegedly killed 16 Chechnyan rebels and was part of the Russian Interior Ministry. When Paulie later repeats this claim, he says that the subject killed 16 Czechoslovakians and was an interior decorator, to which Christopher responds by saying "his apartment looked like ****." Earlier in the same episode Christopher shows his poor knowledge of history when he expresses disbelief that the Cuban Missile Crisis actually occurred by saying: "That was real? I saw that movie. I thought it was bull****"
