This can be, one of The Blockbusters. Intense Comic Drama.

Appreciate the comments, guys. It definitely has a SIDEWAYS, LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE kind of feel.

Richard, This logline sounds like my life minus the the alcohol and drug fueled haze. I have learned one doesn't have to have an affliction to be down on their luck. A poor economy, the rise in cost of living and pursuing a life long dream of being a successful screenwriter is sufficient. I recently sent Joey (Happy Writer) an e-mail he called "best e-mail ever!" concerning my life's "bumpy road". I've never been happier writing prolifically what I think are quality goods. But I'm so down on my luck I can't afford to copyright them or register them with the Guild let alone pay attention. And you guessed it, no one gives a shit.

This longline is hilarious

I like this story! I wonder how it ends. Maybe in the end, he changes his value system and doesn't give a shit about his old fake friends either.

LOVE IT!!!!!!!!

And the sequel is called? Redemption: A former A-list actor rises above the dark, cynical cloud of Hollywood in order to assist hapless others find their own demise.

This sounds hilarious

You obviously know how I feel about this logline already, how dare you, Sir. So good.
