It's been a joy to keep this screenwriting tutorial current with recent examples. Although I no longer will add comments on the most recent movies, this text still has a very long shelf life since the screenwriting and storytelling principles taught here are time-tested over many decades -- and so should hold true for many decades into the future.
Your screenwriting career has just begun. I look forward to seeing the movies you write. I hope the lessons here help you realize your dreams.
Good luck -- and good screenwriting!
