A MESSAGE FROM YOU TO WHOEVER IS READING THIS.
We need to stand together. We are being divided all over again, based on retarded things like gender or sexual preference. This world is dying, the corporations are greedy, cinema is being made for people to forget that they are being looted. It doesn’t matter whether you eat beef or pork, we need to stick together. Also, we need to let Pakistani actors work in our industry, or else we are the biggest hypocrites.
