It was extremely unpopular. It was thought of, first it was the pioneer way of experiencing, it pioneered a way of experiencing stories that people hadn't been doing really, which was television in the 50s and 60s.

And the disruptions that you're talking about are often, you know, they're about distribution. Or if it's tech... Most of those are very advantageous for us because we're storytellers, and we're collaborating with storytellers, and all the technical innovations have either impacted distribution, where are people seeing it, how are they seeing it, and that certainly influences

Us, because we have to decide what, you know, kind of how to tell a story and how do we expect it to be seen and so forth. But the other thing is, as you know, as my friend George Lucas said, it's just trying to get more of the director's mind's eye onto the screen more effectively at, you know, in a responsible, cost responsible way.

As a filmmaker. Yes. Of course, I want the maximum number of people to see it, you know, as it was designed and executed to be seen. But all my life, more people have seen my movies on TV than on the big screen, between VHS and DVD and syndication and networking. So I've always been aware of that reality. And I also remember that when I was a film student,
