00:00Mr. Baldwin, how changed Hollywood since the 80s, 90s, when you started, when you were very young, today, is there
00:08a lot of difference?
00:10Usually the biggest changes in the entertainment business are from technology.
00:15We watched a lot of TV, we watched a lot of movies on TV, when you went to the movies
00:20it was a big treat, because it cost money, you know.
00:23And you could go to the movies for $2.50 when I was a kid, to see a big movie,
00:29like The Godfather or something, I think The Godfather came out when I was 13 years old, we snuck in,
00:34we got in and saw it, oh yeah, of course, it was worth it.
00:37Of course you sneak in to see The Godfather, but the, and more technology, streaming is the biggest thing now,
00:47in which more and more people don't want to go to theaters,
00:50which is a shame, because streaming presents people with the opportunity to control the experience, when it's not really the
00:57best idea for them to control the experience.
01:00When you're in a theater and you watch the movie from the beginning, you get your popcorn, you get your
01:03candy, you get your soda, your water, and you sit down, and you watch from the beginning to the end.
01:09If you have to go to the bathroom, okay, but now people get up and they have to make a
01:12phone call, they have to text, they text in their seat, their attention is shattered.
01:19And when you watch movies and streaming, it's the same thing, when you're watching a movie, you can pause and
01:25go get a snack, and go pay the delivery, the pizza delivery, and all this stuff,
01:29rather than sitting down and digesting the program in its entirety, the way the director intended for you to do
01:35it.
