It sounds good to me

I feel like I'm on a boat sailing to some island where I don't know anybody. I'm on a boat someone is operating and we aren't in touch.

So begins David Milch's urgent accounting of his increasingly strange present and often painful past. From the start, Milch's life seems destined to echo that of his father, a successful if drug-addicted surgeon. Almost every achievement is accompanied by an act of self-immolation, but the deepest sadnesses also contain moments of grace.

Betting on race horses and stealing booze at eight years old, mentored by Robert Penn Warren and excoriated by Richard Yates at twenty-one, Milch never did anything by half. He got into Yale Law only to be expelled for shooting out streetlights with a shotgun. He paused his studies at the Iowa Writers' Workshop to manufacture acid in Cuernavaca. He created and wrote some of the most lauded television series of all time, made a family and pursued sobriety, and then lost his fortune betting horses just as his father had taught him.

Like Milch's best screenwriting, Life's Work explores how chance encounters, self-deception, and luck shape the people we become, and wrestles with what it means to have felt and caused pain, even and especially with those we love, and how you keep living. It is both a masterclass on Milch's unique creative process, and a distinctive, revelatory memoir from one of the great American writers, in what may be his final dispatch to us all.

I'm passively rewatching The Sopranos again (meaning I have it on in the background while I do other things, AKA the Anders Moviewatching Method)

I think the season 4 finale Whitecaps is a fantastic episode, but there is one thing I always butt up against. It's one line of dialogue from Tony's former goomar Irina, when she calls Carmela. She says: "I'm a piece of shit which the world, every morning, strains and pushes out of its butt. If you can, imagine where you are on the pecking order."

It's a thoroughly overwritten line for any character, let alone someone who can barely speak English. There are a few Irina moments that always jump out at me.

That line is a bit of a stretch, but you can't deny the absolute magnificence of the line "Is this Mrs. Sopranos?"

Today I learned that James Gandolfini was only 35 years old when the first episode of The Sopranos was filmed

Re: Sopranos S1E10 "A Hit is a Hit"

Why were Massive Genius and his posse hanging out at a burger place while he had a party going on at his house

I've thought about doing so as well.
