I've always been somewhat proud of my inner Cliff Clavin, the part of my personality that can tell you what group sang the 1974 smash hit "Come and Get Your Love" (Redbone) or what team lost the 1982 World Series (that would be the never-say-die Milwaukeee Brewers).

In my time, I've even won a few games of "Trivial Pursuit," thanks in part to a tried-and-true strategy: if you don't know an answer, always guess "Babe Ruth" for sports-related questions and "Adolf Hitler" for history-related questions. It really works.

So yeah, I like me some trivia. I've even done a pretty fine job on Entertainment Weekly's annual "Pop Culture Quiz."

Until this year.

For whatever reason, this year's quiz is movie-themed (usually a good thing for me), but, well, somehow extra trivial: "#60: In 1987's Baby Boom, what's the name of the mail-order company J.C. Wiatt (Diane Keaton) starts from her snowbound Vermont home?" Baby Boom? Baby frickin' Boom? Has anyone watched this movie since 1987? Or: "#50: In Dirty Dancing, what is Baby's real name?" I think it's Felicity Shagwell--oh, wait, that's the answer to #56. Or: "#83: Who directed the 1987 comedy Three Men and a Baby?" Mmm, from what I remember of the movie, I'd say the correct answer is "nobody." However, I doubt that's the answer they're after.

Maybe I should guess "Adolf Hitler."

The horror....the horror. (Question #74: last line of Apocalypse Now. I did know that one.)
