No.

More fun with titles.

Nice, Jason.

So then you learned a lot of stuff about the nuts and the bolts of making a film because you were on set for the thing that you wrote?

What felt so great about it?

Was it just like the fun of making fake life?

But look at all of that and the years from then until now.

I mean, look at where you are and what you're doing.

Tell me you're not jaded and it's not lost on you, like how freaking awesome it is that you're doing exactly what you were passionate about when you were...

The boxes you need to check for the commercial viability of it, et cetera.

Which you need now, running the studio, the DC element, you've got to not only be the creative element, but you also have to oversee other creatives you bring in underneath it and make sure that you're marshalling things in more of sort of a corporate agenda at times as well, yes?

Right, right.

Isn't that at odds sometimes, James, especially in the big tentpole stuff that you guys do there at DC, where you have to put your flag down on the ground with a date, and then sometimes that script is not yet written, but it has to be written by a certain time in order to make the film, all the effects and all that stuff, and hit that release date.

Isn't that sometimes at odds with you saying, we're not doing anything until the script's right?

That's awesome.

Right, yeah, that is great.

Your real dog is the name of the dog that's in the film?

Krypto's the name of the dog in the film?

Because I'd love to double back just on what the button is in the bottom right-hand corner.

But when we get there... I was going to say... In my Instagram feed... I want you two to fight so bad.
