Don't worry, filmmakers; Ford didn't just reserve his disdain for you. The audience got some, as well, when he complained about today's moviegoers not going to enough movies. "People still went to the movies in those days," he said about the era of Star Wars. "People went to movie theaters. It was a community experience, and that was part of the fun. Now people see a movie on their iPad, alone, with interruptions for snacks."

It's hard to imagine just how Star Wars or the original Indiana Jones movies would have fared in today's environment, it's true -- not necessarily because of a "commodification" of the movie experience (Star Wars pretty much pioneered that, let's face it), but the mind boggles considering how the Internet would have dealt with plot twists like the Vader reveal at the end of The Empire Strikes Back. Think of how many spoilers, real or otherwise, would have flooded the fictional Tumblr of the time afterward!
