We gave Times employees a preview of cross-play from New York Times games.

And here's what they had to say.

I can finally play with other people.

I have a J for 10 points, and I can put that on a double letter.

So J-A-M, that's 24 points.

As an English as a second language speaker, I like to learn new words.

So good to see you again.

Yeah, you too.

So I went back after our interview and I rewatched The Dark Knight after we talked because it was on my mind since we spoke a lot about you taking on this sort of big budget movie.

Mm-hmm.

And I guess that movie had to have been the biggest budget film you were ever a part of.

I mean, it was probably like such a huge event.

And I was kind of wondering what that experience taught you about how to harness all those resources from inside the studio system.

I guess I am curious about your own experience where that wasn't what happened to you.

Yeah.

All right.

So you are making this big budget movie at a moment when the industry is really struggling and attention spans are hard to capture.

Studios are consolidating.
