Thank you for today's notes, BK. Over the years, I have learned to keep my mouth shut whenever the conversation turned to IT'S A MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD. I just never found the movie that funny. If I remember correctly, my mom, my sister, and I went to see the film at the Cinerama Theater in downtown Seattle. I remember the audience laughing hysterically from start to finish, but for most of the film I just kept wondering what was so funny.
Several years ago, I decided to try watching the film again; figuring my sense of humor may have matured since I was a kid. Wrong! I found it even harder to sit through on the home TV than I had in the theater. Sure, there are some funny moments, and it is great to see all of those stars in one film; but I will pass on ever seeing it again.
