Double meanings: Lines that can be taken more than one way

--- Quote from: serious crayons on October 24, 2013, 03:35:09 pm ---That is a reference to the tar-spreading scene, but it's not an extended discussion of it. I have always loved that it seems like such a little throw-away situation-establishing scene, yet is so packed with meaning and nuance. When Casey Cornelius first pointed it out, it opened my eyes to the possibilities of other subtle double meanings and subtle symbolism running through the whole movie. Of which, of course, there are tons.

This is from IMDb with you referencing Casey, but talking to clancypants

This is a BM thread with you and ruthlesslyunsentimental (aka clancypants)
Couldn't find a direct Casey reference.

Thanks, Paul! The Casey conversation occurred earlier, but that one sure was interesting, and fun to reread. I'd forgotten about the whole pavement = paranoia connection.
Plus, going down a few posts, I got to this fun comment that made me LOL:

? Jack is still a potato!
Is that why Ennis sometimes calls him Spud, as in "Somethin' I've been meaning to tell ya, Spud?"
