Being There took me back. Growing up I would watch the Peter Sellers film The Mouse That Roared and I really didn't understand what was going on the first few hundred times. As I got older I grew to appreciate the absurd tongue in cheek humor Sellers crafted with each of his characters and eventually, at age 13, my attention was drawn to the Kubrick masterpiece Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. That movie blew my mind.

Fast forward 5 years. The attention once paid to Sellers has been dispersed among the film world I'd gone off to explore. One day a friend lends me this very plain looking DVD case titled Being There. I played the whole I'm-really-busy game, it may take me a few weeks to get around to this. And that was the truth. »
