We're going to do something that's really unprecedented in the industry by launching the console in all three major markets for the same holiday. It's never been done before.

It all comes down to that one person you always think about before you fall asleep at night. And text "Good Morning" as soon as you wake up.
I do a mean beef Wellington. Gordon Ramsay's is a phenomenal recipe. But that's a lot of prep. The secret to wrap it in Parma ham before wrapping in pastry. I'm so pro smuggling more meat in.
I wrote 'All is Lost' while editing 'Margin Call'. I did that long before I knew if I was ever going to get to make another movie.
But in my college years it got to the point where my friends and I didn't do anything without consuming a massive amount of alcohol before we went anywhere or did anything, and you know that.
