Movie structure

Great post about how to structure a movie. The best illustrations are from this article. Basic plot was handed down to us from the ancient past (the Greeks?). It's survived this long for a good reason. It works!
One of my biggest movie pet peeves is when there is a large amount of time between the climax and the credits. Once the audience knows how the story ends, it's time to let them out of the theater. If someone could email this to Peter Jackson, I'd appreciate it.
