So true! Our celebrities pumped by all the attention and social media publicity are so full of their own grandeur they really start believing in their own superior understanding of how the world really works. It's one thing to profess their deep thoughts about life and parenthood on Ellen's show, but when they start getting into political and economic analysis it makes me cringe. Directing "Argo" did not make Ben Affleck an expert on theology and ideology. Yet, he feels completely righteous arguing with an educated professional writer and researcher. Plus, he's doing it like a spoiled high school brat kid that throws temper tantrums whenever the other team scores a goal...
