You think of that big screen in the darkened theater with a lot of people, so that’s always the thought behind it. If that’s the case, it’s nice if that’s available. That’s great, but I don’t really mind if they’re watching films on a plane. I don’t mind. Anybody who just wants to watch a movie, I can’t complain. If that’s the way they’re going to watch them, that’s the way they watch them. Who am I to judge?
