~~~~~Stratford Portrait discovered 1881

~There is a tide in the affairs of men.
~Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
~Omitted, all the voyage of their life
~Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
~On such a full sea are we now afloat,
~And we must take the current when it serves,
~Or lose our ventures.
~~~~~~~~~~--William Shakespeare
~~~~~~~~~~~ Circa 1601

"Movies" have really earnedoooo..
oooo..their name. And it's not just
oooo..the appeal of "pictures that
oooo..move." A significant part of
oooo..the appeal of movies is that
oooo..their STORIES are always moving
oooo..forward -- with surprises, twists
oooo..shifts of character, hidden evils,
oooo..shocking events, and more. And
oooo..structure is what makes that possible.
