He had the writing to back him, but it was truly a revolutionary performance; one of the greatest ever filmed. And because he was so good and could anchor that show, television drama was fundamentally changed. TV could play a long game, and unspool like a novel. With that much depth.
He gave some excellent movie performances (I particularly liked him in Get Shorty and True Romance), but 95% of what he'll be known for is Tony Soprano.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Are you thinking to rent a car or hop a short flight, is that the idea? Because I need to be all up in your vacationing business.
I hadn't gotten that far. I;m not really looking for long drives though, so maybe short flights.

My feet start to hurt instantly in narrow heels, so I don't wear them. I gave up on wearing cute shoes almost immediately after high school.

I will think on it, Lee.
Eta: I used to be able to wear heels without pain, but last time I tried just wearing a pair that used to be comfortable around the house I had pain within 20 minutes. And those were not high or narrow. I haven't quite convinced myself to get rid of my cute heels though, because they are really cute and maybe I can train myself to wear them again...

Hey, if someone was going to be in New Orleans for a weekend in September, and wanted to go somewhere warm and relaxing before or after, does anyone have any suggestions for where that should be?
Destin, Florida, is a 4-hour drive from NOLA, and has fantastic white sand beaches. I think the airport is Ft. Walton Beach. MAYBE. It's been a long time since I've been down there.

He was great in Get Shorty, which I love. We shared a birthday...I always thought that was cool.

A lot of cruises leave port in NO. I never took one, I'm not sure where they go, if any would be a a suitable length, etc., but that might be worth looking into.
Biloxi is a pretty short drive for beaches and casinos.
