Little Steven Says Goodbye to 'The Sopranos'
HBO's 'The Sopranos' was whacked into television history on the June 10 series finale. Little Steven Van Zandt's character, Silvio Dante, took a 50 Cent-worthy number of bullets from a rival New York mob hitman in the second-to-last episode, and in the controversial finale, Tony said his goodbyes to his comatose consigliere."I'm going to miss 'The Sopranos,'" he tells Spinner. "It's really been a wonderful meditation for me to be somebody else a couple of days a week. It's very, very rewarding that way."
Despite Van Zandt's love for the craft, the E Street guitarist -- who also hosts his own 'Little Steven's Underground Garage' Sirius radio show and owns his own Wicked Cool Records -- isn't looking to make acting a full-time pursuit. "If somebody comes to me with something, I certainly would consider it," he says. "But they're going to have to come to me. I don't have time to go knocking on doors."

Once again, HBO is nothing more than a dissapointment ending an excellent series. We all know that all good things have to come to an end but the worst thing HBO can do to the viewers is to really piss them off! I have read the reviews and David Chase is definatly NOT the viewers favorite person. David took the easy way out writing the last script, perhaps leaving it wide open for the "Soprano's movie?"
Come on, pronounce the series, have the funeral and bury it. Don't end the series and then start doing movies. After the first movie, what will there be a second movie, then a 3rd? We all remember the lame Holloween and Freddie Kruger movies don't we?
I really expect 2 different scenerios, either the entire family would be blown away leaving Tony alive with all their blood on his hands or do an ending like Six Feet Under and show how everyone lived their life out until their own deaths.
I personally don't look forward to the Soprano's movies, as far as I am concerned the end happened and it now over.
