[edit] Trapped patrons
This bit of the intro paragraph strikes me as odd:
- If one looks closely, it becomes apparent that there is no way out of the bar area, as the three walls of the counter form a triangle which traps the attendant. It is also notable that the diner has no visible door leading to the outside, which illustrates the idea of confinement and entrapment. Hopper denied that he had intended to communicate this in Nighthawks, ...
Is this based on any citation? Could it be that we just can't see the door because it's not in the frame? — Loadmaster 01:24, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
- It says "...no visable...". Besides, pretty much any anylization is speculation, esp. when Hopper is involved. He didn't help us out too much! Oystermind 03:36, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Trivia
Does the pop culture section of this article seem bloated to anyone else? --sparkitTALK 14:35, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
- Yup. Seperate or trim, I say Oystermind 03:28, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
Ne'ermind. I did it. Oystermind 03:41, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Matrix reference?
I've stuck a "citation needed" on the claim that people read a woman in a red dress in The Matrix as a reference to the painting, because I haven't been able to find a single reference to such a reading on the Web or on USENET. —Eric S. Smith (talk) 21:35, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
