Can't wait to see it all in.
But we have someone at the latter part of his career, in the end of his career, who's back again trying to use his own formula, reinvented, to make a big hit film.
And then we have these two other super scrappy filmmakers.
A lot has been said about them.
They're coming for a change.
the internet they're making these movies on shoestring budgets but these are both original horror concepts that just keep giving and giving and giving and generating great excitement at the box office so I think we're spying I don't know and no one knows if those things become a kind of Spielbergian formula but we have like grandfather's
Which is a blockbuster at the moment.
And we have the young guys thing.
And Spielberg's movie is very successful.
About 59% of its audience, we've read, was over the ancient age of 34, you know, us three included.
I think there's a lot of general complaining about, of course, we know there is, about...
Gen Z killing the movies and they don't appreciate it with the screens in front of their faces.
Like, actually, no.
Here the young people are showing up to watch movies in the theater to enjoy them, and it's really older people who have not come back in force to the movies since COVID.
So Spielberg has got them back, and for that I'm very glad.
But I don't think it is pointing a new direction in the way that Backrooms and Obsession is.
Yeah.
I mean, we have no idea if this movie will turn out to be considered overall a success.
It's funny.
We're at the beginning of it.
