Interesting take of the future of film. It kind of fits almost any kind of art or any kind of physical work as well. We AI, who knows. We may all be hanging out in bed, dining n Door Dash, our bodies curling into the hunched form we take looking at the screen from a prone position.

In addition to being amiable. Joe Dante is very erudite. I had the pleasure of meeting him years ago and I learned so much from his experiences that I had to document them before I forgot them. For example, did you know that he was originally approached to do the first Batman film but turned it down?

Sam, I did NOT know that, but it's kind of great and in character.

Wonderful exchange by interviewee & interviewer, both! I read this with great enjoyment. 13BIT Productions delivered the delightfully arcane with intelligence & humor. I remember the great Robot Parade!
