immoral gangsters or not, Tony having to ice his childhood friend was still a rough watch.

i mean no I don't even remotely "root" for Tony in the conventional sense (same w/ Walter White on Breaking Bad), and it's always more interesting watching Tony continually trying to rationalize his shitty actions by stretching his code well beyond its limits. but that whacking was diff than the others cos of who it was. even if Big Puss was also a terrible human being, which by all accounts he certainly was.

The key to the sequence was how wobbly, weak and pathetic all four of the characters were.

Tony having to ice his childhood friend
was Pussy ever identified as such? cuz Gandolfini was about 15 years younger than Vincent Pastore.

Posted this in a different Sopranos thread - pretty sure Big Pussy's name came from a Roth novel published in 1998:
Related to Sopranos origins and Newark, this is from Philip Roth's I Married A Communist (1998):He got his name (Little Pussy) because he started out professionally as a cat burglar, sneaking across the rooftops and going in through the windows with his older brother, Big Pussy. In grade school they were already up all night stealing. When they even bothered to come to school, they sat sleeping at their desks and nobody dared to waker them up. Big Pussy died of natural causes, and Little Pussy was bumped off in 1979 in real gangland style...three bullets from a .32 in his head. The next day Ritchie Boiardo tells one of his cronies, "Perhaps it was for the best--because he talked too much."― the one where, as balls alludes (Eazy), Wednesday, 30 July 2014 16:09 (1 year ago) Permalink

Chase:
…people say “What the fuck are these dreams doing in my gangster movie?” Well, from the get-go, this is a story about psychology…so much of psychotherapy has to do with dreams. But because its a psychological show, the dreams often have to be interpreted. Because they have to carry a point. And so – “Funhouse.” That came about because I couldn’t bear the fact that we were going to have to do some kind of procedural in which Tony found out Pussy was a rat. Like he was going to have to call up some cop, or some guy would come to him and then he’d follow up on the lead. And they’d stake out Pussy’s house. And they’d follow him to the FBI. Blah, blah. I fucking would have wanted to kill somebody. So I thought, “How can he just know it?” Can’t we skip all that crap?
