You know why? Because all that media space is hogged by egotistical film personalities, who are so full of themselves and their petty obsessions that they think the world revolves around them and their struggle with the system. Buddy you have it goodreal good. I hope you know that. So appreciate the life you have and please stop pretending to be a martyr.
