I love the mouse, I love designing games for a mouse-based system. I think it’s still a way of playing games which, you know, everyone’s really excited about the Wii and all that, but for me, the mouse is for the PC an awful lot what that pointing device did for the Wii.

‘Sunspring,’ the first known screenplay written by an AI, was produced recently. It is awesome. Awesomely awful. But it’s worth watching all ten minutes of it to get a taste of the gap between a great screenplay and something an AI can currently produce.
With ‘SMTV’ it was a very brave decision by ITV to commission it for a year. It was so awful to start with and the ratings were so low to start with we might never have made it past the first six months.
My singing voice is awful.
In Chile, they have no movies. They have awful popular movies.
