So yesterday on the mailbag, somebody asked me why I liked old movies better than newer movies.

And I said it was the language that they was there was more, you know, exposition more dialogue.

People talked more.

They cared about what they talked.

And I just want to tell an actual true story.

Something that actually happens to me that kind of illustrates how this has changed.

And I want to begin by saying just pointing out that I am a person who doesn't get very angry very much.

I was an angry young man.

I kind of got out of that, rose out of that.

And now I very rarely get angry at anybody because I sort of have an understanding of what my life is about.

My life is about making things.

It's about building things that I think are beautiful and convey wisdom and worth and entertainment.

And as long as I'm doing that, I'm happy.

And the only time I ever really get angry at somebody, if it's not outside of kind of personal things,

or somebody attacks my friends or something.

But outside of that, the only time I really get angry is when somebody gets in my way of doing what I do,

which is very rare because I don't let people get in my way of doing what I do.

But when this happens, we have a joke in my house, my family that, you know,

whenever I get angry at anybody, they die of violent death.

And this is not because I go out and kill them.

This is because the God sends an angel of the Lord to strike them down on my behalf.

So 10 years ago, and I'm a shock to realize it's been 10 years.
