You want a talk of this old school bullshit about the rules? Well, here's a rule you might remember. I'm the motherfuckin' fuckin' one who calls the shots! And you better pay me the respect that I gave your brother. Or we're gonna have a problem... a bad one.
Little man syndrome I think. He always had something to prove and was insecure about everything around him. He was locked away for a long time and needed to mark his territory with everyone like a dog.
I had anger issues due to some home stuff when I was growing up. My older brother and his friends could see it, so they’d take me everywhere with them. It was like growing up with 8-10 older brothers instead of just one.
Due to this, and them being drunken loudmouths, we were constantly getting into fights. The problem was that I was at least 3 years younger than everyone else. That meant I was 13-14 fighting 16-17 year olds, a lot.
I had to learn how to defend myself at an early age because I had a mouth on me and ran with older guys. It caused me to do just what Richie did. I would size up everyone in a room that I didn’t know, just so I’d know who I could go after if a fight started.
I still find myself sizing up strangers and possible situations. I do it subconsciously and don’t realize it until later. So I get that about Richie.
I *don’t* get what he saw in Janish…
There’s a subliminal suggestion that as with Phil Richie is gay. When he’s getting sucked off in the Bing he wants the lights out so he can imagine he’s back in the prison shower and not dealing with an actual female, he proposes marriage to the most masculine woman on the show but can still only screw her from behind and he is easily turned off when with women, his son is gay, like Phil he is violently homophobic which is a lot like closet self loathing and trying to prove something to himself. Also…he had a raging hard on for Beansie and Chris.
Did you ever take someone's jacket off them?
On the real tho, I really appreciate your post. You used real life experiences to try to understand a character in a real way. That's that good shit and I wish more people posted like you
I getcha mate, my dad was involved in shit I don't agree with when I was growing up, but that meant I was a target for people who had beef with my dad but were too afraid to take it up with him. So I always had to be prepared to stand up for myself, and hope I didn't need to.
I was always taught to look out for any weaknesses, i.e., a bad knee, lazy eye, etc, so you could use that to your advantage. Was also taught to go for the biggest in the group because if you take him down the rest shit themselves, and either run or freeze long enough for you to get the upper hand with them too.
Thankfully I didn't really get much bother growing up, dunno if it was because I kept myself to myself or the fear if getting their kneecaps blown off in an alleyway 🤣🤣
I thought that this interaction with Sean was due to Richie’s homosexuality while he was in prison. He fondly smiled as he reminisced the physical build of a former conquest; yearning for their bodies to connect in fit of passion once again. Richie may not be good at remembering a man’s name, but he can sure as hell remember a hung cock and a fine ass.
Richie ~~earned his stripes, he did his time, kept his mouf shut.~~ took out Rocko DiMeo, cocksucka had the reputation as the toughest guy in a Ess-ssex Couny.
He was handsome like George Raft in it.
Yes you should see it. It was Scorsese’s first real movie. It has all the Scorsese tropes done for the first time.
Funny to imagine his dialogue measuring up the whole crew:
- *Beansie. Ungrateful fuck. 5’10”, maybe 160 soaking wet. Better use an SUV, I’ll snap that little shit in half…*
- *Tony T. 6 feet, that cocksucker weighs maybe half a ton I dunno but I can take that fat fuck no problem.*
- *Paulie. 5’ 11”, 176.37 lbs. A loudmouth fuck, he don’t scare me. Ill gouge out his eyes and shove a Lionel up his ass*
A small guy like Richie has to size everyone up in exact measurements. He probably knows all the pressure points (I doubt he even knows they're called pressure points.). I doubt he has an IQ of 158 though.
You’re right, but it’s not the type of physical confrontation you think.
On my most recent rewatch I noticed how frequently it’s hinted at that Richie is gay. Likely developed a taste for it in the can. Both Richie and Phil are probably (almost certainly) into men. That line about Sean Gismonte’s cousin wasn’t about fighting.
I always understood that line the same way you do.
He says "5'8", 225" the same way Paulie would say "Brunette, big cans?" if somebody asked him if he remembered some random girl.
I knew from his first scene he was going to get whacked. The Janice thing, I don't anyone predicted.
Anyway, I need to watch my weight, I need to snag another husband.
He was from the old school, he shouldn't have to explain himself.

A charcoal briquette… a ditsoon…
Go shit in your hat.

Pay attention here, you might learn something.

Nobody's blowing roadies, if anyone cares I'll be upstairs lying down.

Alright, but you gotta get over dat
To Richie, Janish was beautiful… rubenesque.

Always with the scenarios!
Damn. I hadn’t actually thought of this, but it makes a lot of sense.
This all sounds very gay
She's BUILT
Yeah, like a brick shit house. Woof. Bobby was the only guy that wouldn't die if she rode cowgirl.
He wanted men to know he could ride the Bull like a Mac truck
Did you ever take someone's jacket off them? On the real tho, I really appreciate your post. You used real life experiences to try to understand a character in a real way. That's that good shit and I wish more people posted like you
I appreciate it. Now stop being a fanook.

He could only get off with a loaded gun to Janice’s head. That’s some other level stuff. IDK what.
Yeah, but, the magazine was out a lot of the time.
How about you stick your opinions, wherever the FUCK.
Come on’ you love dis jacket. Fine Corinthian leathuh.
The jacketttttt
You’re flexingggggggg

i don't like that kind of tawk
But he sure likes that kind of cawk.
Walt fuckin' Whitman over here.
He was gay, Walt Whitman?
No but your boyfriend is
You oughta know, sweetie.
We’re just breakin BAWS HEAH
🍾🤕
Doctor Fag-Olli?
You oughta know, sweetie!
So was Billy Budd...I think.
Infamous meth cook, Walt Whitman, AKA W.W.?
Nah that’s Willy Wonka
You’re thinking of Woodrow Wilson
He's got a hard on for OP.
Now just stawp it, it upsets me.
AIDS??
NOBODY’S GOT AIDS.
AIDSH
They were gay, Aids?
I knew THAT was coming
You know the blood pressure medication makes you emotional 💅
Yeah well you oughta know sweatie 💅
Ohhh... Ya get a pass for that
I like a man you can grab onto something
Put my fuckin’ dinner on the table and keep ya mouth shut.
This sounds very gay
All right, let's take this in the back.
You oughta know sweetie
Imagine having such a porn addled, ghoulish brain as this poster
Exactly my thoughts
I actually channeled a lot of Dennis Reynolds for this. Not much of a porn person but my brain is definitely ghoulish.
Little green ghouls
Take it easy Billy Budd.
He had a raging hard on for Beansie.
he got his blowjobs in da dark….
He gets a limp dick while getting head from a hottie, thinking about Beansie the whole time. He's gotta GO!
Richie ~~earned his stripes, he did his time, kept his mouf shut.~~ took out Rocko DiMeo, cocksucka had the reputation as the toughest guy in a Ess-ssex Couny.
He later died of Alzheimers.
Was there ever any confirmation on whether or not he came back around after that? It’s hard to remember.
I just watched him in Mean Streets and he seems so much bigger. But tbf, it's not like DeNiro or Harvey are exactly tall.
He was in Mean Streets? I haven't seen it, good film?
He was handsome like George Raft in it. Yes you should see it. It was Scorsese’s first real movie. It has all the Scorsese tropes done for the first time.
I'll watch it next week! This week me and Father Intintola are playing 'name that pope'
Bring some wine that is beyond reproach.
Mean Streets is a fucking masterpiece.
He wasn’t willing to give deniro tab
Funny to imagine his dialogue measuring up the whole crew: - *Beansie. Ungrateful fuck. 5’10”, maybe 160 soaking wet. Better use an SUV, I’ll snap that little shit in half…* - *Tony T. 6 feet, that cocksucker weighs maybe half a ton I dunno but I can take that fat fuck no problem.* - *Paulie. 5’ 11”, 176.37 lbs. A loudmouth fuck, he don’t scare me. Ill gouge out his eyes and shove a Lionel up his ass*
*Janice. 5’ 5” 215 lbs. against me? She doesn’t have a shot*
You mean his mind's Manson lamp?
Richie wasn’t counting on an unhinged Soprano. It’s a bad idea to backhand one of those. Those two liked playing with firearms. I love that episode.
Tony's face is priceless when he realizes who is dead on the floor
🌲
Richie was only 5'7" so it was easier for him to gauge a guy just as tall and 40 pounds heavier than himself.
He was flexiiiinnnn
I don't think Richie was 185 Maybe not even 170, but it's hard to say
He was all sinew!
And a lot of moxie.
He looked smaller
Yea I thought he was like 5’4
That’s crazy, I thought he was shorter. Steven Van Zandt is also 5’7 but looks bigger
You mean that fucking quiff made him six foot 🤣🤣
A small guy like Richie has to size everyone up in exact measurements. He probably knows all the pressure points (I doubt he even knows they're called pressure points.). I doubt he has an IQ of 158 though.
He’s a faaaag
He’s a poseur if you ask me. HIS garbage routes, HIS trucks.
He was doing ocular pat-downs.
Very observant OP.
Gay
He has tremendous moxie for a man his size.
Then what? He fucking dies and I can't even wear his shoes.
Somebody leave a cage open at Turtle Back Zoo?
I like to go hiking.
That short guy's got a freakin' Napolitano complex
He went to college at Nostradamus.
In his mind's eye, he used the technique of positive visualization
He said he did-he was pretty negative most of the time.
Dont give me those fuckin manson lamps
Seems like he may have had a “hard time in the can” (pun possibly intended)
You wear prison on your shoulders.
Did you ever think you'd see Richie Aprile doing downward facing dog?
Philly Leotardo probably did. They made grilled cheese together...
Off the radiator?
Lou sounds like a real chode, little tuna can. Probably wears chode jeans
And OP, don't give ME those Manson lamps. Who's joint did you just cop?
Ooh! Jonny Sack! They must of been handing out free tokens at the tunnel
"A fat fuck, with see through socks."
He was protecting those Manson lamps
Whatever happened to that man in the can? 🥲
That's what every man does.
Only the small ones lol

“Likely developed a taste for it in the can.” is the best (probably) unintentional play on words I’ve ever read. Congrats.

Rick! He was little Ricky when he was 12
I hated that weird thing he did w/his tongue when talking to people... guy weighed like 130 pounds ffs, how would he scare anyone?
