Putting the 'i' back into Gandolfini OR are Margaret and David lazy, senile or just plain dumb?



Did anyone else catch ABC TV's Movie Show (actually At the Movies) last night? If so, did you writhe around in agony on the couch every time Margaret and David referred to James Gandolfini, star of Andrew Dominik's new film Killing Them Softly, as James Gandolfin-o?

Do these twats actually expect to be taken fucking seriously?

How can we trust anything these geriatric fucksticks say, when they get something so fundamental well wrong? And it's not like he's some unknown either. The Sopranos, which made James Gandolfini a household name, ran for a goodly number of seasons, garnering awards, the adulation of millions and the love of critics up the wazoo.

He has also appeared in a slew of films both indie and mainstream (Get Shorty, In the Loop, 8mm, The Mexican, Night Falls on Manhattan, Where the Wild Things Are among others).

If Margaret and David don't know who he is, surely the grip, the the make-up and hair dolly, the production assistant and ass. director would know, and should have had the courage to pull these rusted-on ABC barnacles aside and whisper the following sweet-corrections in their aged and clueless ears:

"It's Gandolfin-i you daft cunts".
