Lemme guess....you say the interview was on the History channel, you don't remember what the show was called but you do remember a couple of the commercials that were on during the show and you're providing future evidence?

Anyway, the single most impressive movie for me is All About Lily Chou-Chou. It's a great movie about Japanese school life and has one of the best soundtracks ever by Salyu. It's a pretty dark movie though. I think it has been released in the states because Tarantino used one of Salyu's songs on Kill Bill in the scene where the bride gets the new katana. An "as heard in Kill Bill" sticker was on the front of my Lily Chou-Chou soundtrack CD. Yeah I hated Kill Bill...

I think John Water's mustache should have its own movie.

Tim Burton Presents: The Misadventures of John Water's Moustache I always wondered if he wasn't able to grow a full moustche, so that is why he had the thin-right-above-the-lip thing. Only he can pull it off.

I'm an MST3K fan and this is almost required watching if you become a die hard fan or just get interested in the KTMA era. It totally blew my mind. I interpreted it as a premeditation of the Global Warming movement. Most people will disagree with me and go with the worn out "Early 70s Hippie Movie" argument. It's my new favorite film and the lack of fan material shocks me.
