And there used to be this opportunity, they would have, like, The Winds of War or, you know, Roots or these huge miniseries.

It was like, okay, that's fantastic.

That used to be a kind of work of art in and of itself.

But now I feel this kind of slow-motion turn towards stories stretched out, um...

Too much, I think.

I guess underneath it, I have a fear that the painfully difficult challenge of telling a story in preferably under two hours, hopefully 90 minutes, will start to get lost because I think it's a very, very valuable storytelling.

That structure is great.

I don't want to see that get lost.

Trailers are their own little art form.

And I have cut them in the past or collaborated with people.

The last one that we did was not cut by me.

It was cut by a guy named Joel who's got a company called Aspect Ratio.

And it was one of those great moments where I just handed the film over and said, can you do something?

And it was so perfect right away that we didn't say anything.

We just said, that's it.

It was great.

And that was a really fun feeling.

Wow.

Yeah, I always... That was one of the joys to me of going to sit in a movie theater.

I guess there's people... There's probably two types of people in the world.
