When I was a kid, I was obsessed with this idea of opening a restaurant back in Indiana on a little pond.

When the matching color of the flag on their boat went up on a flag pole, their dinner was ready!

I had such a tie with my eyes and my hands. I could look at a telephone pole 40 yards away, take out a 7-iron, and hit it 10 times in a row. I had something special. And somehow, I really understood the game, all without having a lot of guidance.
The movies are about big tent pole movies and big action and effects.
