I’m the best form of entertainment I have.

People used to want to see the same old thing, but nothing in the marketing of 'Stealth' made it seem truly original. All I remember from the trailer is the airplane, not the characters.

That's good for the movie business.

It's like in biological evolution: The population will evolve, even though individuals can't.
