There's no other scenes, in the finished cut anyway. So the way I took it was that Gene has always had a wife, who clearly looks stable and independent. And while he was losing his shit at the camp, by the end, he's finally rehabilitated himself to being normal and is joining back with his wife.

There is always some kind of overall season storyline. But within the season there are mini-arcs that may only occur over two to three episodes.

But, with every episode, there is a crime of the week B-story happening.

In the final two or three seasons, just about every episode will contain at least one or two scenes that relate to the overall story arc of that season.

This is his actual best scene, and quite possibly the best line in all of modern cinema.

The show had already reached its peak popularity. And those episodes near the end were just ridiculous, and were only going to get worse if they continued.

She doesn't have many options to grow her career if she keeps on filming in New Zealand. You gotta come to the Western Hemisphere if you want more acting gigs.

Contrary to what people say, those shows had absolutely run their course.

I think its because of his smile and his eyebrows.

And he just "turns off" one of those when switching between types of roles.

He's got the maddest eyebrows in the biz, but the moment he cracks a smile, you can't help but to think he's a goofy s.o.b.

Shouldn't media companies, or maybe Neilsen Research, have gotten together with companies like Roku and Google to implement a reporting system with their TV streaming devices to be able to detect ratings?

I never saw the italian movie that the music originally plays over, not until a couple of years ago.

The opening minute and a half, to me, felt like music of somebody fixing to be executed. Like a death march, the final moments of somebody who is fixing to come to an end.

And the music literally stops, and pauses. It feels like it came to an end.

And then the horn comes in, and it feels like...rebirth. It feels spiritual. And then the drums are now in a steady beat, that builds. Feels like triumphant ascension.

And when I finally found that scene, it played out quite similar.

Up until that point, Tarantino movies really pushed the idea of "chapters" in its pacing.

And I never really cared much that he goes out of his way to introduce chapters, but I can understand how it fits with the way he wants people to experience scenes.

It wasn't until the scene in which the Bride confronts Bud and he traps her and buries her that Tarantino's chapter format works brilliantly.

They introduce a flashback at a very tense point in the movie, and the flashback lasts so long that you almost forget where you last left the Bride at her lowest (thematically and physically).

So when the flashback sequence it over, and it immediately transitions back to the Bride in the coffin, it just feels so satisfying. Because you learn that, originally your thought the Bride was screwed and helpless, but the flashback shows that she actually has the skills and willpower to climb out of something as dreadful as this.

And the music they use, Ennio Morricone's "L'arena" starts off really bleak and desperate, and then suddenly grows into this triumphant crescendo.

That made the whole movie. I think its the most cinematic sequence Tarantino has ever done.

I would love an anthology series. Completely use a different cast every season, with a different type of job, in a different part of the world.

The movie gave a sense that there's alot of these types of people out there, most are cold-hearted and psychopaths, but some are doing it to just get by. Some of them even make friendships.

"Why did you take this job?"

"My friend, I need the money."

Its almost like a subtle European version of Resevoir Dogs.

This feels like a movie in which John Frankenheimer had specific ideas on the types of car scenes he wanted to make, David Mamet had a couple of really cool scenes of dialogue, Robert DeNiro wanted to make his own mysterious spy/mercenary character, and the rest they just made it up as they went along.

And it was good. Maybe not great, but it was good.

The first hour is pretty tight.

[Stanley Tucci after hearing the news]: "....eh, I'm still visiting Italy next month."

Are book, tv and film makers running out of adjectives to use as titles?
