You Can Experience Live Theater, Where You Get To See Plays Produced By Different Directors And Different Casts, But There's Really Nothing Like That For Movie Scripts.

Growing Up Sucks, Doesn't It? I Understand Why People Wouldn't Want To Get Old - But It'd Be One Thing If We Became A Culture Obsessed With Eating Right, Doing Yoga, Going To Therapy And Becoming At One With Ourselves.
