So, mea culpa. I got Rick Worley confused with So Uncivilized (as in, I thought Rick Worley was SU’s real name). My mistake. I’ve seen some of So Uncivilized’s work and would compare it to a more pretentious “Every Frame a Painting.”
I am curious about Worley’s attempts to explain the ending to The Sopranos, as it’s one of my favorite deconstructions of a fiction genre (mafia/mob cinema). I tend to think the ending of the show is fairly ancillary to the points Chase was trying to make about Tony, his masculinity (the Tony/Dr Melfi dynamic) and the familiar/external power structures in his life. For me, the biggest finale moment of the show would be Melfi and Tony’s final exchange.
