Which is why Tarantino expects his career to end with TV.  Having said that, I do love me some spectacle and a movie can always leave you wanting more in ways a TV show can't.

Tomorrow I'll see if I can find my Boardwalk Empire notes, I remember making a list of trope/cliches for HBO series... they have their own rules (like no teasers, famous songs for opening themes, etc) but I don't remember what all they are because it was so long since I made them.  I haven't added season two to my queue yet (many many more shows to watch)
