This is not child's play
21 March 2008
Like my mama always said, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Also, the things you don't like about people are probably the things you don't like about yourself.

As I watched this movie, all I could think about was how much Troy talked "I, I, I, me, me, me, I, me, I, me" to this and that. Seems to think there's nothing wrong with him and that all the problems were someone else. Funny, seems to me his problems are all him. Not because of him, just simply him.

Hollywood is a business. It's about making money. He was given quite an opportunity and his inability to understand how to operate in the business was his own fault. Hollywood is for adults, and Troy did nothing but act like a child. He bit back to those trying to help him before he even had any clout in the business (either music or movie).

Dreams die hard. No doubt about it. His drunk, smoking, cursing self got exactly what he brought upon himself.

And just a question, why is everyone he doesn't like a "co^&sucker" when he ends up living in the gayest neighborhood in LA? It's obvious this guy was out of his league and has issues. It's also obvious he wanted to be Harvey but doesn't have the finesse, maturity, or business acumen required. He acted like a child in a very adult world.

Like my mama also said, the bigger they are (or try to make you think they are) the harder they fall.
