In the opening sequence of The Sopranos, every shot depicts a car traveling from screen right to screen left, except for one. When the editor cuts to a restaurant named "PIZZALAND", the travel direction suddenly shifts from screen left to screen right. This editorial decision, coupled with the lyrics singing "shot gun shot", creates a visceral feeling of unease, and brings attention to guns and the use of force around independent establishments as a key theme of the series.

Today I learned the ancient Romans hated pants. I knew that it was not Roman to wear pants, and that they wore togas, tunics and stolas, adopting clothes similar the ancient Greeks--who also shunned pants. I didn't realize until doing some research today however that wearing pants (or boots) was considered a crime in Rome, and you could lose your estate and be banished from the city over a pair of pants.
