I have a step-aunt and step-uncle who are multi millionaires. Very nice people, quite politically progressive and so forth - but if they want to park somewhere, they just park somewhere. Sure, they might get a ticket, and it might cost them a few hundred bucks, but for them, it's like putting $5 in a parking meter.…

It was a seriously dumb thing to do, and they should totally throw the book at her.

Plus that awful sprayed-on black hair, which looks worse than most of the wigs in this list.

That was the genius of Pulp Fiction. It temporarily erased all memory of Travolta's terrible late 80s comedy period and reminded everyone why he was so cool in the first place.

I always had Summer of 4 Ft 2 marked down in my head as the end of Classic Simpsons. I was shocked when I realised it was only at the end of season 7, and well before such classics as "Homer's Phobia" and "The Itchy and Scratchy and Poochie Show".

A cousin of mine went to college on a cheerleading scholarship. No, I'm not making that up.

I took my six year old niece to see it, and all the way through I was thinking "Oh, geez - is she going to get this? Little people in your head? Marbles for memories? Towns that are emotions?" But she totally got it, and I was amazed how often it came up in conversation afterwards.

I just revisited Edward Scissorhands last week (seems to be coming up in syndication a lot recently, thanks to its 25th - gasp, yes 25th - anniversary). I was thankful to find it as good as it always was. It's a film that could have gone so wrong in so many ways, but it's pitch perfect. Without getting too art-school…

In the books, Phryne Fisher is born in 1900, which places her in her late 20s in the series.

I'm up to the fifth of six episode of 'The Detectorists', the UK series that has just arrived on Netflix. The author and star is Mackenzie Crook, who you'll recognize from the original UK version of The Office.

Not quickly enough.

Then again - Halloween became Slutty Halloween so gradually, I didn't even notice.

The commercials for this make it look like a terrible mishmash of competing tones, which sounds like exactly what it is.

That would be a good topic for an AV Club Inventory - the "difficult" albums various bands released after their biggest success. REM's 'Monster' falls into the same category, and maybe Pavement's 'Wowee Zowee'.

That's what really gets me about those stupid conspiracy theory documentaries. Nope, there was no evidence that Kurt was suicidal. Except for the fact that he'd written, sung and talked about suicide constantly for most of his adult life.

The greatest shock of my adulthood is that Pearl Jam are now the chopped liver of music: something your parents inexplicably enjoy.

I've been expecting this headline for nearly 20 years, but it still doesn't make it any better when it finally happens.

Candlebox were a good example of a band where, when you took away all the faux-Pearl Jam posturing and pseudo gritty production, you could see there was absolutely no substance beneath.

If only it wasn't so ubiquitous. It seemed like it was playing for approximately 65% of the entire late 90s.

Don't forget that after the first wave of grunge, a lot of bands were pushed to follow that sound by their record companies.
