It places a magic on it as a result of I—you already know, I used to be born in ‘78, so when the increase of VHS was occurring, that was after I was discovering movies. And so it was very particular for me that the studio really agreed to do it. If I find it irresistible, another person on the market will find it irresistible too.”
