The Infernal Black Screen of Existential Nothingness


Most of us registered our feelings about Sunday night’s big Sopranos finale on the disappointment scale somewhere between “total apathy” and “blind furry”, then went ahead and moved on with our lives. Inside Edition on the other hand, is clearly locked in a self-propagating state of disbelief. They have been dedicating a portion of every show so far this week to making sense of the confounding "Journey Scene", today delving into JFK-conspiracy levels of insanity by actually WALKING THROUGH the diner where the scene was shot, trying to re-create the moment before the the screen went black. They even went so far as to tracking down and trying to interview the background extra dude (who’s a pizza guy in real life) that may or may not have killed Tony.
For these people, ambiguity literally does not exist.
