There are things in life called fun rides. They exist at amusement parks. You go on them, and they're fun. You don't need to go to a movie to have a fun ride, you go on a fun ride to have a fun ride.

We can have a conversation about which movie is better than the other. But you're stipulating to, 'Well, it's still in my Top 100'… look, I don't care. No offense. I don't care.
