"Not very well thought out. You think me texting during certain films is a slap in the face of those who pour their lives into filmmaking? I can name a dozen films without breaking a sweat that are a slap in the face of those of us who poured hard-earned dollars into the ticket price.

"The question is simple: What topics light your fire? You know how to build a media organization, Duncan, and no one on your team is much of a slouch either. Building a media organization is color by numbers for you - you need to make sure you and your team is thrilled with the subject matter, and the audience will follow."
