Man, I tell you what would suck: if thirty years from now, I sit with my grandkids and tell them about the days of movie theaters. It's been such a great experience throughout my life, I feel bad for future generations that might not have that to look forward to.

But eh, as long as we have these "theme park" movies making billions of dollars at the box office, we're good for now at least. Scorsese and Coppola can both go back to their mansions and cry about it.
