    If I never see another self-congratulatory Hollywood montage again it will be too soon.

    What a giant jagoff-fest. Let's forego the Mexico/U.S. border wall and just enclose Hollywood in a huge concrete dome. The government could sell it as a fun role-playing idea: "We're going to play 'Truman Show'!"
