I was totally blind...It's funny how that works. I was totally blindsided that not a single coworker of my age group in the big city of Chicago knew who RoboCop was. Maybe one person did. This was even more shocking because I come form a tiny farming town of about 5,000 people and all of my friends knew about RoboCop as kids. I always assumed that people that grew up in major urban areas had cultural advantages, being exposed to more things that would never make it to little hamlets like my hometown.

It turned out she had no idea who Jean-Luc Godard was. Had never even <i>heard</i> of him! I couldn't believe it. Like Chaplin, he was one of those people I just assumed everyone knew. <br /><br />What's even more amusing is that, though she thought the person who was unfamiliar with Chaplin ignorant and strange, she didn't think it was odd at all to have never heard of Godard... Now that's some funny psychology at work!Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01479335064804017878noreply@blogger.com
