TIL that "It's'a me, Mario!" is an anagram for Marisa Tomei and it made my day!

I've been solving every day for about nine years now, and this is my very first time posting. So you can imagine how riled I am. Sorry to say, but this has been my least favorite crossword so far. Not because of the subject matter, which I thought was clever and funny, but because of the way it was composed. It felt messy (in my opinion, no need to correct me or set me straight. If you loved it, that is absolutely great. I didn't)

I've been doing the NYT crossword for some eight years now, and I must say this was one of the best, most entertaining, funnest ones I've come across. Kudos to Hoang-Kim Vu!
