Of course, there are movies being made with subjects that, like, have some say in how the story is told or are getting paid for the access, which to me is a no-no, and gets to be a producer of their own story.

And what happens, that these streamers or whoever the distributors are, they get a film about whomever, you know?

Oh, the incentives align.

Right.

And by the way, at this point, the public doesn't seem to somewhere between care or know the difference.

And that's the sad thing.

It's like they're being served slop and they're getting used to the fact that this is like, oh, I guess this is like f***ing short rib.

And I'm like, it's not, it's slop.

And I think that's the bigger issue.

This film about Prince to me, it's a full meal.

And it's not something you can just like tear through.

It's tough at times.

It's not meant to be clipped.

It's not meant for the algorithm.

Well, in the sum, it's greater than its parts.

That's the point.

There's hopefully an experience you've gone through.

By the way, I'm talking about this as if anyone's going to see it.

They won't.

So it's like, it's amazing.
