Mm-hmm.

You got me to watch.

There's a movie.

There's a show you got me to watch.

I would never have watched that show.

Now, I am confused about some things, though, Bill.

Like, for instance, I don't know what to do with the fact that Bong Joon-ho's first movie after winning all those Oscars for Parasite

was Mickey 17 with Robert Pattinson, a movie I enjoyed, really strange movie.

Nobody went.

Nobody went.

So I don't know if that's a marketing concern.

I don't know if people didn't know it was out there and they didn't know to go see it.

Well, it only worked for Avatar, right?

Yeah, and not for 20 other movies.

Right, right, right.

But I think that... I mean, but just to take your three-point shot metaphor someplace else, I mean, I've heard so many conversations between and among you and the basketball people, many different people, really...

thinking philosophically about whether that shot is good for basketball, right?

Like all the ways in which it has changed the game enough so that the things that once were pleasurable about it have been deprioritized, where really the three is an easier shot.

It's formulaic.

Right.
