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.

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.

And it's, you know, it kind of it is a little bit dramatic.

And it, you know, in the right moment, it's the clutches shot because you were farther back and you the shot went in and it just seemed, you know, there is a degree of difficulty at operation here.

But at the end of the day, the thing that's really going to get most of your points is going into the paint and shooting from there.

So I'm worried that people are trying to do these shoot threes and to not take a different set of risks by getting elbowed in the head.

I mean, I think we really got to get these movie stars in some basic schmashic movies.

And I don't... And you just got to spend the marketing money to persuade people that that's where they want to be.
