Year Number Three. Ditto the beginning.

underlining is symbolism for a feature length film
italics are a metaphor for a short or television series
the imagery of the asterisk (*) denotes a theatre experience
a pound sign (#) portends a hindsight case of foreshadowing, wherein your humble correspondent feels as if he has, in fact, seen the affected film before
