I have seen films stop rather than end. Those "endings" that leave you totally unsatisfied and yelling WTF at the screen- hoping that your television just broke, because you know that no way in hell are they stopping the film at that point- and yet they did.

But if you're asking about structure, Pulp Fiction has a beginning, middle and end- but they sure and the hell don't resemble any graph. And that's why we like it.

I use it for my features. I break the 2nd act up into two equal parts, so I end up with 4 acts. Essentially, Act 1, Act 2A, act 2B, and act 3. I use 4-5 acts for series scripts. Shorts vary for me. Usually 1-3 acts depending on the length and story.

Streaming has become the norm so we are counting on film journalists even more nowadays to sort through "the glut" in order to give us the top 10 or so and lead us to the good ones. As for the "missing data" they were talking about, I do hope that there would be more transparency and that everyone always gets their fair share.

We all miss the social experience of cinema so it's great to have cool alternatives like drive-in's or a private / home theater set up (a luxury, but worth spending on for some people).

Is there a link to this? Was it recorded? Sadly was traveling on production and missed this!

Man, didn't know Kubrick was that much of an a_ _.

My understanding is that Kubrick may have intended on using classical music from the beginning. MGM wanted an original score. Kubrick felt he couldn't tell anyone that he was going to use the tracks until the premiere. Because the premiere went very well, MGM backed off. This is second hand info, but it might suggest that if MGM had let Kubrick alone, it might have been avoided. In the end, not telling North, even privately, would have saved North incredible humiliation and embarrassment. Personally, I just got a track in a TV show. I announced it, and then watched the episode. I couldn't find the track anywhere. It might be there, way under the dialogue. I quietly stopped promoting it. I'll honestly have to wait until my royalty statement to know for sure. That's not the only time, either. Even when you have music in a production, it probably won't be a sexy as you think!
