Way too young. RIP Mr Gandolfini.

My favorite Gandolfini role was as Winston Baldry in The Mexican. 

 

R.I.P. James.

I imagine he was thinking of the ducks when he passed.

 

 

RIP JIMMY

So young, so sad, an apparent heart attack.  RIP.

Yes, shocking... way too young. RIP.

Just saw this in the times, shocked. Rest in peace.

I just watched the final scene of the Sopranos that Ric posted (for the 1000th time) and not to be too melodramatic about it or go off on a tangent, but it Gandolfini's death somehow for me really brings out the sadness in that beautiful sequence.

Shocking and sad. Great loss, he'll be missed.

I haven't seen it since the original airing, but does the ending also seem much less nebulous now?

Italy is awesome but I would hate to be in his situation anywhere at all remote from immediate healthcare.

To me, absolutely yes, much less.

a hotel in Rome shouldn't be remote from immediate healthcare.

If it was really Rome then that is inexcusable.

Problem in Rome is traffic. It's always heavily congested, damn slow. Even an ambulance would have trouble there.

From what I've read, the ambulance got there quickly and the 40 minutes was how long they tried to revive him. 

No, unfortunately, it doesn't. 

 

Either way, if/when I go to Italy, I'll be sure to take a first aid kit with me.

...and a defibrillator. 

laughing at the thought of how quickly you'd get pounced on trying to take an AED onto a plane...We used to have a test mode in the x-ray machine that would display grenades & pipe bombs to keep you on your toes...No way you'd get through with that w/o a thorough prodding/probing...

I may have to hit up HBOGo to rewatch the last episode of The Sopranos...
