what, what just happened here

I love, LOVE Pan's Labyrinth. I thought about it and another good backdrop for the film would have been the Cristero Rebellion rather than the Spanish Civil War. The aims of the cristeros and Ofelia (religion & magic and the imagination of youth) vs. those of the government (secularism & rational thought) would have nicely rounded out what I feel the movie was about (the loss of innocence).

But I could be full of crap. You can tell me I'm full of crap. I'd just be happy knowing I was in your head for a second. ;)

There are a lot of celebrity fans of MST3K. What's your most surprising encounter with a famous fan?

By the way, I should also mention how much your show meant to me and still does. I watch the old shows all the time. I work at a startup and we all constantly quote riffs to one another in the halls. Also, a friends' parents were B-movie actors from the 50s up through the 90s and she said she never thought her parents' vocations were terribly interesting because she just grew up around that... until she saw Hanger 18 and you and the Bots made fun of her dad. At that moment, for the first time in her life, she realized her dad was cool.

This is the greatest answer in the history of AMA.

I saw that episode two times and was like "why is he saying 'quinness'?" and realized he was trying to say "quien es?" (who is it?)
