So I know how I watch movies which is on my laptop, man. And that’s how I suspect a lot of people do it.

In this remark, Smith points to the everyday, informal way many viewers now consume films: alone or casually, on personal devices rather than in theaters. The line carries an implicit argument about shifting audience habits—if even a filmmaker watches movies on a laptop, it suggests that “proper” cinematic viewing conditions have become less normative. It also hints at a democratization (and diminishment) of the moviegoing experience: convenience and access win over spectacle and communal viewing. The quote is often read as part of broader debates about streaming, home media, and how changes in technology reshape both film culture and filmmakers’ expectations about how their work will be seen.
