 Those childhood experiences are very much a part of the writing of this book. You had the advantage of growing up in Los Angeles. I did, and that was a huge advantage. But for this reason, there were great theaters in L.A. There were great theaters throughout the country in the 50s. There are almost no great theaters left. There are anonymous multiplexes. It's so depressing to go to the movies now. It wasn't the way it was when I was a kid.
