To me it seemed like he was talking about the 18 months of the reunion, it seems very un-Jarvis to say "this is 100% the end of Pulp forever".

 You're probably right. I certainly hope you are.

 The thing is, there is a good chance than they will never play again. They just might not get round to it, or never really feel like it again. But it just seems weird that, after what, 34 years as a band, and with all the false starts and minor successes and potential break ups etc etc, that they'd now just say that there will never under any circumstances be another Pulp gig. Bands only usually say that if they really hate each other, or haven't kept in touch. Like it's pretty much 100% sure that The Smiths will never perform again, for example! But Pulp have remained reasonably close, and while they may never feel the urge to tour again, what's to say that there won't be some sort of event that brings them together again, whether that be a sudden need to raise money or in order to stand up for a particular political issue. I reckon Pulp are too clever to say that it's all over forever.

I walked away from the film with some hope of more PULP.

It was surprising to hear Mark talk about how much he hated playing at one time and Candida commenting how she was reluctant to play shows again. It seems to me that in the last 2 years PULP have found peace with their status... their 'britpop' title.... their '1 hit wonder' (you know what I mean). I think it was a Reading the Jarvis commented that even if they are ever known for Common People it is okay, cuz its a great song.  Seeing them walk off the stage with such high spirits (I dont think I have ever seen Steve smile that much) it truly felt like they had a great time.
