On the one hand, it’s nice to know when a writer has a full concept for a trim scene.  But, this explanation by Frank Miller feels sort of like someone explaining a punchline.  Like the Star Wars prequels or JK Rowling’s endless post-Deathly Hallows interviews, having a creator spell out everything tends to drain my enjoyment.  

When they let me use my own brain to fill in the blanks, I feel I become part of the storytelling process.  I know this ain’t Hills Like White Elephants or anything, but leave me with some participation, guys.
