thinking people community
I've seen people talk about how they stopped polio, that was a generation that came together and said, "Let's do this."

thinking hbo people
Whatever field you can do that, that's where you want to do it, and I think that's why people like David Fincher and Ridley Scott are interested in it, too, because when you sit down on a meeting in HBO and they're like, "More, more."
