The level of control, that's part of what's so appealing about filmmaking - you have so much control over what the reader, the viewer, is noticing from moment to moment. They can't do that boring boring boring thing as easily.

I mean obviously we're all dealing with a lot more strangers due to the web. I'd say it has more to do with the quality of interactions.
