    Yeah, it was produced during season seven. (That's why there's a reference to Twin Peaks - in 1997, it already doesn't really make sense in regards to the kids' ages anymore).

    Whenever Frasier is mentioned on here I feel compelled to post this dialogue from the pilot:

    It's obvious the Deschanels are related though (even if you didn't know, it's not really an "a-ha!" moment if you find out). It's hard to find many examples for this that fit as well as Warren Beatty/Shirley Maclaine, where both are individually very famous and their careers never really crossed paths.

    Jack Nicholson and his mother.

    She was married to the episode's writer, Richard Appel. The character is in fact named after her.

    Except me. Right above you!

    This is one of my favorite songs of all time.

    I find the majority of the movies so lifeless, especially once Yates took over. It's like he set out to make the most drab, unvolving version of what was on the page possible.

    The writeup oversells how disturbing the film is, IMO. It's a very black comedy with lots of cringe humor, there's nothing overly graphic or heavily dramatic about it.

    At its best it was truly hilarious. The episode where Cox and Connolly play Mulder and Scully investigating the appearance of the dancing baby from Ally McBeal on campus should be on every damn Buzzfeed 90s nostalgia list.

    Unfortunately Hollywood felt sorry enough to give him the Oscar for A Beautiful Mind a few years later.

    Let's see… I was eight, my favorite film was Tiny Toons' How I Spent My Vacation, played a lot of Secret of Evermore and eagerly awaited every new chapter of The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck. Yeah, I think that's it.

    Have you read the "manifesto"? The whole thing was always pretty firmly tongue in cheek. I mean, they called it "Vow of Chastity".

    Apollo 13 and Sense and Sensibility were co-frontrunners before nominations came out, which saw both films' directors surprisingly snubbed. Braveheart then became sort of a default choice.

    I was born in '87 and am not American, so I had to keep googling names while reading the article, but I still laughed a lot, even with the dated ones. I guess the innate hilarity of a name like Boutros Boutros-Ghali transcends any cultural barriers.

    How did they fill out the top ten then?

    Stomping Land? Searing Fireball Pain Land? Unnecessary Chicken Slaying Land??

    I knew which panels from This One Summer would be used as illustration before I clicked the link. In a book full of gorgeous panels these ones really stood out.

    DiCaprio could let loose more often on screen. Everyone knows he's a SERIOUS!!! actor by now. Django Unchained (eta: and Wolf, of course) was a nice change of pace in some ways, but I'd still like to see him doing something completely different like a stoner comedy that lets him relaxc those face muscles for the
