...down this soft, sentimental road...I'm the guy who wrote Gremlins. I tried to find something after I finished [Bicentennial Man] that would go back to that [Gremlins] area." Despite his A-list status in Hollywood, Columbus agreed to audition for the job by pitching himself to the studio.

...reduces the cost of promotion, because record labels can use customer profiling technology to make recommendations like Amazon.com does for books. In addition, because bandwidth is so cheap, there is essentially no marginal cost in digital distribution.
