Yeah, actually. I didn't hate it.
I'd recently moved from out of state to Hee Haw, TN at the turn of the century to try and make a go of a relationship in her back yard, amongst nice people who considered me city-fied. I gave it my all. One afternoon, I walked into a discussion of the Peter Sellers movie "Being There" which was going to be shown and discussed at an upcoming local community college free "Film Appreciation Night". Mom and auntie were telling their college student how great it was - absolutely hysterical, etc - and said she should ask me because surely I must have seen it. I had. I told her I hadn't. So, these nice folks made plans for
all of us to attend.
When I viewed the shots of the audience during Pasqual's
interpretation, especially the guy playing the straw and scissors, that movie audience was exactly what came to mind. The second time, also.
