From: "David McEwen" <Right in the middle of the movie, the master next to you taps you on the shoulder. It brings you out of your identification with the movie and you look at the master and he looks at you. Then he points up to the movie projector, traces the beam down to the screen with his finger and points at the screen with all the actors and action taking place. >>
If anyone did that to me at a movie theater, I would move to another seat after complaining to the Usher. It seems very dualistic to be sitting in a theater like some kind of autistic nut pointing up at the movie projector. The only people that I have ever seen do that are retarded folks. Have you ever been in a theater when Mentally Disabled people are brought in as part of a Field Trip? They are looking all over the theater, pointing at the lights, looking at the projector, not capable of becoming engrossed with the flow of the story in the movie. I usually go during the early bird hours, so I have seen that a couple of times. I remember one time I was sitting there and spent most of the movie watching the retarded folks. They were more entertaining than the movie. One retarded guy spent the entire movie sitting on his knees, backwards in his chair, with his back to the movie screen. He was watching the movie projector. He really seemed to be getting something out of looking at the movie projector. He must have been the Zen Master. ------------------------ Yahoo!
