So you've never sat back in wonder when people are praising
something you don't like, sit back and wonder "What's going
on here?" 

I can understand when something is good and I just don't
happen to like it. It's another thing when something seems
to be to be MST3K level bad and other people end up
praising it to no end. Leaves me scratching my head and
wanting to know what they found enjoyable. I find it
fascinating how reactions can be so varied. Then again,
maybe I'm just funny that way.

Ah! Exactly what I'm talking about. You aren't the least
bit curious at the difference between your reaction and
theirs?

I'm a writer so I find it interesting to see the
differences of opinion in action.

So, what was up with the ending? Big hand, big iron, alien
space god, pink-haired chick his girlfriend? Guy with
pasted eyebrows is what? <shakes head>
