There was a time right around the late 90s when they were just churning out white-wealthy-families-getting-pissy-at-dinner movies and plays left and right because, I don't know, boomers were waking up to how hollow the American Dream is and man, I thought if I can just hang on to the biz for 20 or 30 more years I will age into the burn-out dad roles in those stories and I will never stop working, I will be so, so fucking rich.…

I wish the documentary had gone…
