Did the VERY end have any significance? Punchy in the elevator with David with script in hand?. I mean...I kinda found it pointless.

I suspect it questioned whether the end really was reality?

Ya know, I believe that I was thinking of the ending as leaving a exclamation point rather than a question mark. I like the question mark angle better. Now, I feel it wasn't as pointless! Thanks Dwacon

I thought it meant that David, though troubled by Paul's suicide, still had the completed script at the front of his mind, as opposed to Paul's well-being. Just like all the others who Paul felt had betrayed him in life, David also failed as a true friend.

I thought it was playing on the whole concept of believing it makes it real.

Either Paul's thinking made him paranoid into killing himself (real based ending) or his thinking made the clown real and he killed him staging the suicide (paranormal ending)

Now David walks in, knowing the premise of the story and now sees his friend has "killed himself", naturally he's going to think of the story based on the whole idea he knew his friend was writing about and now comes face to face with a figment of his imagination that is going to make him mentally kill himself too over the guilt (again the real based ending) or the clown can kill him now that seeing his friend dead made him believe (paranormal ending)

No matter which way you want to see it, it comes out making a good logical path.

I refuse to argue on IMDB until the general populous actually uses their brains
