Hey AJ, Just out of curiosity...what about 4-Act structure (which I think is just an overcomplicated way of thinking about three-act structure, but that's just...
this is kinda related to the act structure question ... i was watching my DVD of True Romance, as I will often do, and I was listening to Tarantino's...

I think that's a great way to look at screenwriting, Matt. I know I harp on this, but I feel to my core that you have to understand the complexity of Three Act...
