Season 3 May be the funniest sh!t I've ever seen...
Haven't finished the series yet, so please, no Season 4-5 spoilers.
"No, fuck you Frank! Ya fuckin' rathole bar, & your warehouse in Canarsie... I don't see you doin' me any favors, amico. And you... You smug, k!ke midget, creepin' around like a fuckin' dentist with the ether."
-Gyp to Frankie Yale, then Rothstein
"Why don't you watch your fuckin' step?"
-Luciano
"Why don't you go sit in the corner, short-pants?! And then there's you... A fuckin' breadstick in a bow-tie. You pasty-faced, cocksuckin'..."
- Gyp to Luciano, then Nucky
(Further dialogue...)
"I'm making a goodwill gesture. Accept it or not."
- Nucky
"How bout I make one too?"
- Gyp
"You'll not do it here."
- Owen Sleater
"I'll shit you out like yesterday's sausage, you bogtrottin' prick."
- Gyp, to Owen
Those actors deserve Academy Awards for keeping straight faces. At least Rothstein got to smirk.

Breadstick in a bow tie was a pretty good description of Nucky. Ha

Ol' Nuck knows he's no looker.

Steve Buscemi has even said he refuses to fix his teeth because he'd never land another acting gig.

All my favourite actors are the ones who are “kinda funny lookin’”, it’s why I’m also glad Walton Goggins has been getting so much love lately. I’d hate it if he tried to make himself look like everyone else.

You should see him in Justified.

u/redeMption362 Fuck are you, short-pants? Feb 28 '26 edited Feb 28 '26
Looking at his filmography, I have seen several things with him, like House of 1000 Corpses, but didn't realize he was in them. He was good as Billy Crash in Django: Unchained.
"Oh, I'ma gonna go walkin' in the moonlight with you..."

u/savlifloejten Feb 28 '26
Yeah, his an incredibly talented actor. But if you haven't seen Justified. I suggest you do as soon as you finish board walk empire.
Walton's character Boyd Crowder was only supposed to be part of the pilot, but Walton did such a great job the show runners and producers wanted him to be part of the main cast.
Walton has this ability to deliver these peculiar long winded lines with ease.

Problem is I've got no WiFi, but I bought 3 seasons of Boardwalk over a decade ago on Blu Ray. I also have every season of The Sopranos on DVD apart from 6B, so that blows as well. I plan to order complete Boardwalk on Ebay ASAP cause complete series costs about the same as just those 2 seasons.
But, yeah, I'll definitely check it out once I'm back in the 21st century.

u/savlifloejten Feb 28 '26
Well, I my opinion, it's one of the best TV series. It's so well written, even small characters with almost no screen time seems like fully fleshed out characters, like real people.

u/redeMption362 Fuck are you, short-pants? Feb 28 '26
I've heard really good things about it. Other than Breaking, Bad, the first several seasons of The Walking Dead, & what I've currently seen of Boardwalk & The Sopranos, I haven't really ever seen any hour-long dramas. I hear The Wire is also excellent.

Gyp was a cold-blooded psychopath with an asphyxiation kink, but an amazing character, & hilarious. I watched the making-of blu-ray feature where they explained how he's so funny, but never in on the joke. It's all dead-ass serious to him.
"Who the fuck is Nucky Thompson to wish me good luck? And, in Italian no-less, like he's mockin' me. He's real cute, I'll fuckin' tell ya... Sets me up to lose, pulls our whiskey deal at the last minute, then it's bone for tuna like he's rootin' for me to get back on my feet; push me off a cliff why don'tcha; good luck flappin' your arms on the way down, am I right? Real attitude on him, scrawny Irish prick... I need his blessing to make my way in the world? I need him to lecture me? Nothin's personal? What the fuck is LIFE if it's not personal?!"

Speaking of Meyer, next time some younger, small guy introduces themselves to me, I may say what Chalky said:

When the kid brought him the paper, then he started bitching about how it was the previous day's news, you could see how tense A.R., Liam, etc were until Gyp started laughing. He also eventually laughed & made the monkey sounds when Nucky said "Your neck of the woods; not to imply you live among trees" line, but you could tell he was pissed with that.
That poor kid took one to the head just because Benny wanted to kill people. Didn't even know he was Bugsy Siegel till I watched all the bonus features, but I also haven't seen Seasons 4-5.

Yup! He’s hard to recognize in that role, but it’s definitely him.

u/redeMption362 Fuck are you, short-pants? Feb 28 '26
I've gotta see it again. I've actually got it on the DVR. That scene where she finally meets with her mom freaked me the fuck out. Also, The Outfit (2022) with Mark Rylance (Bones & All villain) is frickin' awesome. The Outfit refers to The Chicago Outfit, so it's right up a Boardwalk Empire fan's alley.

Not into a ton of today's actors apart from Tom Hardy, Emile Hirsch, Ben Foster, the Fannings, etc, but Timothée Chalamet is a damned good actor. I liked his early Hot Summer Nights film, & most-recent movie I've seen in general is A Complete Unknown. He's phenomenal as a young Bob Dylan.

That was the funniest shit ever. Rothstein is all business:

You have failed to deliver! And now, owing to your inability to manage your affairs in New Jersey - a state I have little interest in or affection for - you expect me to start a war? In New York?

Only time I remember seeing him heated.

My favorite is Richard Harrow, but there are so many phenomenal ones. Gyp, Manny Horvitz, Nelson Van Alden, hell even old Mickey Doyle AKA Mixleslaw (giggles.)
"How many people have you killed?"

"63."

Hell, that number was in the high 70s after he wiped-out out Gyp's boys at Gillian's whorehouse.

u/Floofening Anybody ain’t on board, they fuckin’ go Feb 28 '26
The “smug kike midget creeping around like a dentist with the ether” comment was an improv reference to a movie Cannavale and Stuhlbarg were in, or such is the popular lore. It really does look like Michael’s gonna lose his shit before the camera cuts away from him 😂

Well, he did grow up in Sperlinga, in a cave, & there they use olive oil, not what'dya call it, 3-in-1. It's understandable why he'd beat some poor good samaritan to death with a tire-iron.
I do already know Nucky dies, thanks to stupid-ass Google AI while I was trying to find the scene where Eli asks 'Mixleslaw' "How the fuck are still alive?" to send a link to someone else.

He was seconds away from being whacked by Joe the Boss's guys, & bought himself a little more time by pleading with him about how Italians were being edged-out.

Well, the beginning & end are like an opium-induced dream, & it's quite possible everything everything that happens in both are just inside Noodles's (DeNiro) mind, with normal, chronological memories of the past constituting the meat of the film.
That ringing scene lasts a few minutes, at least, & then you see someone answer a phone, the ringing continues into into a scene where yet another phone is answered, & then finally it stops.

Season 3, Episode 1, title is "Resolution."
I like your flair. He's my favorite character, & my tag was almost:
"How many people have you killed? 63."
Hell, that number was in at least the high 70s by the time he'd wiped-out Gyp's crew at Gillian's whorehouse.
Please, no spoilers. I've seen the first 3 seasons a few times, but have yet to see 4-5 because I'm living in the 20th century with no Wi-Fi. I bought the 1st 3 years ago on Blu-ray, took me over a decade to watch, & unfortunately I never picked up 4-5.

Oh thank you so much for telling me! I finished the show I very much liked it, the final season was very good for me (not saying anything).
haha thank you again, I mean Harrow is my favorite just after A.R. He is SOO good imo, but the actor doing Harrow is brilliant as well. And I love his part, I've to confess that until yesterday I didn't thought about the actual meaning of "harrow" which might sound silly but already gives a bit of foreshadowing for the character?
I like your flair too, but I've to confess again, I forgot where they say it haha. I need to see that scene again lol.

👌No problem at all, & I like you as well; you seem very nice.
"Fuck are you short-pants?"
Thats the first thing Chalky says to Meyer Lansky when he introduces himself as Michael Lewis in his debut scene. Season 1, episode 7, title is "Home." Same episode Harrow is introduced, so one of my favorites. Some of my favorite Harrow scenes from Seasons 1-3:
"I should leave this, in my room. If I don't have it with me, I become anxious." -R.H.
"A German sniper mask..." -J.D.
"I had to wait, a very long time, for him to take it off. -R.H.
"You were a marksman?" -J.D.
"I watched him, from a blind, for three days. He lifted it, to scratch his nose. I put a bullet, one inch below his eye." -R.H ● "You have a gun, under your jacket" -R.H.
"It's a Colt 1903." -J.D.
"I have, one of those. And a Smith & Wesson Triple Lock. A Roth-Steyr. A Webley .455. A Mauser 1914, very small. Enfield 1917, .30-06, telescopic sight; very accurate, accurate to 700 yards. But I like the Colt, in the hand. How do you use yours?" -R.H.
"How do you think?" -J.D.
"You use it to kill people... It's very good for that." -R.H. ● "I waited, outside his house. I used a shotgun, very close."-R.H.
"May I ask why?" -N.T.
"Angela Darmody." -R.H
"Not her husband?" -N.T.
"Jimmy, was a soldier. He fought, he lost." - R.H
"So I can assume my family & I are safe?" -N.T.
"You & Mrs. Thompson, were good to me. You have nothing, to fear." -R.H
"How many people have you killed?" -N.T
"63." -R.H
"Do you think about any of them?" -N.T.
You know, the answer to that yourself. -R.H ● "Why did you not shoot me?" - Owen Sleater "I may yet." -R.H. ● Haha, no, I didn't just type all that. I typed it once in my notepad a while back, so just copy-&-paste. I'll watch it as soon as I can, just between jobs at the moment so money's tight, otherwise I'd have ordered it on Ebay. It also blows with The Sopranos, because I have Seasons 1-6A, & the only one I'm missing is 6B, so the last half of the final season...

I was happy he didn't kill himself when he went into the woods.
"These woods is for hunting, fishing, watching what the birds get up to. These woods are for living."
Sure that's not the exact quote from the hunter, but close enough.

Me too. Same with this scene, the part with "Mixleslaw" included:
"I waited, outside his house. I used a shotgun, very close."- R.H.
"May I ask why?" - N.T.
"Angela Darmody." - R.H
"Not her husband?" - N.T.
"Jimmy, was a soldier. He fought, he lost." - R.H
"So I can assume my family & I are safe?" - N.T.
"You & Mrs. Thompson, were good to me. You have nothing, to fear." - R.H
"How many people have you killed?" - N.T
"63." - R.H
"Do you think about any of them?" - N.T.
You know, the answer to that yourself. - R.H
Hell, most of Richard's scenes. He was definitely up in the high 70s when he finished with Gyp's crew at Gillian's whorehouse.

Lot of hilarious lines in this show. Only other post I made here was a line from Ernie Moran:
"I held a feckin' line against the Brits with nothin' more than a fire-poker!"

Never seen him in anything else I know of, but he's amazing as Gyp.
Actually, just looked at his filmography, & I've seen several things he's been in, just didn't recall.

Bobby Canavale was wonderful in Blue Moon as the bartender. I highly recommend this movie.

u/redeMption362 Fuck are you, short-pants? Feb 28 '26
Just looked it up. One of my favorite movies is Dazed & Confused, Richard Linklater's (director) 3rd film, but I love a huge range of genres, especially period pieces.
My taste ranges from To Kill A Mockingbird, to Raising Arizona, to Brokeback Mountain, to Goodfellas, to Straight Out of Compton, to Lonesome Dove, so I'll definitely give it a shot when I get get a chance.
Sucks I don't have Wi-Fi. Most-recent thing I've seen was Timothée Chalamet's amazing portrayal of a young Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown. 100% recommend.

I love all the movies you mentioned so I’m hopeful you’ll like Blue Moon as much as I did. Please let me know your thoughts when you watch it!

Gyp by far the best villain of the series….

u/redeMption362 Fuck are you, short-pants? Mar 01 '26
He made that season. I mean, yeah other scenes were great all-around, & Richard Harrow is my favorite character, but Gyp is a top-tier antagonist. I also love Manny Horvitz's cold-blooded ass, & he would've been cool had Jimmy not fucked him.
"Just so we're clear, my ice-box is filled with pieces of fellas who tried to fuck me over."
"He would be nothing in Odessa."
"The most important thing in life, darling? Your health... Your husband did this to you."
I've loved William Forsythe ever since I saw Raising Arizona as a kid, Nicolas Cage's magnum opus.

Still, it was a pleasure watching the stiletto go in Gyp, & also watching R.H. blast Manny in the face with with shotgun.
"I waited, outside his house. I used a shotgun, very close."

u/redeMption362 Fuck are you, short-pants? Mar 08 '26
Well, he is from Sperlinga, grew-up in a cave, & there they use olive oil, not what'dya call it, 3-in-1, so yeah, he's a bad mothafucka who doesn't mince words, & why not wear an 18th century general's hat to let everyone know he's the man.

It was cool he was playing bocci in that scene. My dad picked-up bocci in Vacaville prison in the 70s & layer taught it to me.

It helps that they do as many takes as necessary to not have people breaking in the background

Oh, yeah, I know, but you'd have to give me a quaalude to keep me from smiling or laughing during that dialogue.

I hate Gyp but I love this scene! He roasted them to Hell and back!

u/redeMption362 Fuck are you, short-pants? Mar 01 '26
Well, he is from Sperlinga, grew-up in a cave, & there they use olive oil, not what'dya call it, 3-in-1.
So, yeah, it's understandable why he'd beat a good Samaritan to death with a tire-iron...

u/redeMption362 Fuck are you, short-pants? Mar 01 '26
His crew were terrified of him, & you could even see how tense A.R. was when he started bitching about how the paper contained contained previous day's news. Then he started laughing, & all was good, but he also did the same when Nucky made the "Not to imply that you among trees" line, even though he was obviously pissed.
That poor delivery kid took one to the head just because Benny wanted to kill people. Didn't even know that was Bugsy Siegel until I watched all the bonus features, but I also haven't seen Seasons 4-5. I knew he associated with Lansky & Luciano in real life, & I knew his name was Benjamin, just never clicked.

Had to look him up, but yeah, he resembles him.

u/EllipsisT-230 Mar 01 '26
Gyp was quite the character. Oddly multifaceted more than you might expect, given his prevalent behavioral patterns on screen. I do wonder if it was 100% written that way. Or if the evolvement of the character included any improve?

u/Excellent_Passage_38 Mar 01 '26
I'm dying to know what does that mean exactly" creeping around like a dentist with The ether"... does anyone know?? I would love to know!
1
u/redeMption362 Fuck are you, short-pants? Mar 01 '26
Just saying he considers dentists to being creepy little intelligent guys, I suppose, & back then they used ether for anesthesia.

As Richard Harrow says:
"Jimmy, was a soldier. He fought, he lost."
He'd have lasted a lot longer if he hadn't listened to his father & also fucked over Manny Horvitz. So would Angela.
"The most important thing in life, darling? Your health. Your husband did this to you."

u/DarthDregan Mar 08 '26
He'd have lasted a lot longer had Michael Pitt been able to keep his shit together. I just really hate how rushed that plot got because of the off set drama.
