Once you've figured that out, all the interesting stuff is done. The rest is just puzzle-solving.What's fun is agonizing over WHICH choice is the one to take a stand on. Which decision to stick by. Once you've decided it ceases to be interesting. To me, anyway.This is primarily why black-and-white storytelling is not very interesting to me -- it glosses over all the fun stuff. Even in big stupid action movies, the best ones always have those moments where the hero is suddenly (and unexpectedly) presented with a difficult choice -- when Hudson has to decide if he's willing to risk himself for his fellow marines, when Bond has to decide if he's going to trust Tracy, when Indiana Jones has to decide whether or not blowing up the ark is really worth stopping the Nazis.That's the kind of stuff I love.</blockquote>
