How many of us are like Rupert Pupkin?

If you haven't seen King of Comedy, you have to see it. It is a classic Martin Scorsese film that ought to get the same acclaim like Raging Bull and Taxi Driver. The lead character is a young Robert De Niro who plays Rupert Pupkin, a loser and dreamer who fantasizes about making it big one day at any cost. The truth is, he is pathetic and lost. But this doesn't stop him from dreaming big. I say go Rupert go! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNtHdvzp1Ow&feature=related
