[QUOTE=Villages PL;841906]I borrowed a set of 4 DVDs from the library to see what this TV series was like, because I don't have TV at home. I was curious to see James Gandolfini in action, because I read in the news how he died from a heart attack from overeating.

About 20 minutes was all I could stand to watch. In disc number one I could see how big he was and constantly stuffing his face with food. In about 20 minutes there must have been at least 3 different times where he was stuffing himself with food. I guess he wasn't acting because that's the way he died in real life.

But that's not the only reason I stopped watching. I couldn't stand to watch people acting so stupidly. If anyone reading this liked it, tell me what you liked about it. Was the stupid, violent, lifestyle supposed to be cool?[/


I'm curious as to your opinion of the movies Godfather 1 and godfather 2. If it's murder that you object to, what do you think of Macbeth, Othello, Hamlet, or King Lear? If it's gangs you object to, what's your opinion of West Side Story or Romeo and Juliet (I know...feuding families are different from gangs). I think that one can enjoy great writing and great acting without endorsing the lifestyle that's being depicted, and the number of Emmys and other awards that the show won speaks for itself.
