But there is something in it that if the cost of a movie goes down, they are more willing to let it be a little more unusual.

Not all the time, but sometimes.

This year, 20 Choice Experts.

Oh, make the non-critic go first.

Sure.

So, well, to keep it a little bit thematically appropriate, one movie that I'm really interested in seeing is Toy Story 5.

Don't roll your eyes, Alyssa.

Well, anything that has five after it.

But the reason that I'm really interested in that is that this idea is Woody and Buzz and all of the old-fashioned toys, they're not being played with anymore because the kids, all they want to do is play with electronics.

Oh, very appropriate.

An iPad-like device.

And so it's about how the old-fashioned toys battle back into the creative play life of kids.

And I love that idea as an oldster.

Brooks, you totally lived my childhood dream.

But yes, I couldn't imagine anything cooler than getting to work at a carnival all the time.

But I grew up in a family that was very carnival-like, but we did not travel in a carnival.

With my family, I did come from a family of thrill seekers.

And I grew up in Oklahoma, but we didn't have an amusement park in Oklahoma when I was growing up.

Not a big one.
