What would reepbot say?

Honestly Reepbot, Try to get a hold of being there. I think the theme would really really interest you. Peter Sellers wanted the movie to be made so much he agreed to flog out one more pink panther movie.
Brief synopsis I'll just paste here for you
Having lived his life as the gardener on a millionaire's estate, Chance (Peter Sellers) knows of the real world only what he has seen on TV. When his benefactor dies, Chance walks aimlessly into the streets of Washington D.C., where he is struck by a car owned by wealthy Eve Rand (Shirley MacLaine). Identifying himself, the confused man mutters "Chance...gardener," which Eve takes to be "Chauncey Gardiner." Eve takes him to her home to convalesce, and because Chance is so well-dressed and well-groomed, and because he speaks in such a cultured tone, everyone in her orbit assumes that "Chauncey Gardiner" must be a man of profound intelligence. No matter what he says, it is interpreted as a pearl of wisdom and insight. He rises to the top of Washington society, where his simplistic responses to the most difficult questions (responses usually related to his gardening experience) are highly prized by the town's movers and shakers. In fact, there is serious consideration given to running Chance as a presidential candidate. Both a modern fable and a political satire, Being There was based on the novel by Jerzy Kosinski and costars Melvyn Douglas, who won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar as Eve's aging power-broker husband

I thought there was a new secret side to reepbot. But inanimate objects, yes i tend to do that too. I am extremely guilty of anthropomorphising pets, but I'll do it with random objects too and end up feeling bad for the last of an item or if food goes uneaten and I toss it I feel sorry for the food.

@Sweetgeek did you see that Sam and Snez are engaged? No word yet on plans to actually ever live together though.

I did. I just don't see how that even makes sense tbh. They aren't even in the same state are they? So how exactly? I get back in the day this may have been common, but we are not in those days so it makes no sense at all. Good luck to them I suppose

Havent seen to much of his stuff to be honest Reepbot. Actually I do not think Ive seen one movie of his. Yes. Clips or excerpts that crossed my path on tv or internet but I dont honestly think I have. I know he is well regarded. He did pretty good with that left foot thing didnt he?
