When a movie opened - if you lived in New York, you would see it at Radio City Music Hall where it would play a couple of weeks, and then you moved on to the next movie. Now you can see it the rest of your life - it's going to be on Netflix and DVD.
If you plan to miss this movie, better miss it quickly; I doubt if it'll be around to miss for long.
I don't know what it was, maybe the movie theaters in my immediate surrounding neighbourhood in Burbank, but I never saw what would be considered A movies.
If you go to Sundance, the experience that I've had there as a viewer is... there's like a hundred movies there, and you've got to figure out what movies are sold out, what can you see. Sometimes you go to see movies that you don't know anything about because it just works into your schedule.
When DVD disappeared but before digital distribution came on strong, there were a few years where a movie that didn't get theatrical would just be gone.
Back home, we watch a lot of movies, and that was never available to us. When I came to America, I was like, 'No, it's really coming out this Friday? Not three months from now?'
People over 40 stay home and watch television, that's why there are no movies out there.
I just remember not having access to films as a young person who loved films but living in Compton.
It's pretty overwhelming to know that people can call up Moviefone and find out where it's playing.
I have not seen "Batman v Superman," unfortunately. It hasn't been on the plane, as I've been flying a lot.
I couldn't see my father's films because they were restricted and we didn't have videos or DVDs back then.
