I tried to do ten. That wasn't happening.

Great job on the scene titles! That's what I wanted to do, but the inspiration just wasn't there, thus my more prosaic versions.

The only one I'm not sure about (of the ones I've seen) is the Twentynine Palms scene. Which one are you referring to?

The final long shot. You know, the one with the cop. Most haunting finale I've seen since god knows when.

Ah -- gotcha!
