  A Disturbance in the Force - How...

  Even by the standards of the 1970s, even compared to Jar-Jar Binks, the legendary 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special is a peerlessly cringeworthy pop-culture artifact. George Lucas, who completely disowned the production, reportedly has said, "If I had the time and a sledgehammer, I would track down every copy of that show and smash it." Just how on earth did this thing ever see the light of day? 
   
   
   
  To answer that question, as Steven Kozak shows in this fascinating and often hilarious inside look into the making of the Special, you have to understand the cultural moment in which it appeared—a long, long time ago when cheesy variety shows were a staple of network television and Star Wars was not yet the billion-dollar multimedia behemoth that it is today. Kozak explains how the Special was one piece of a PR blitz undertaken by Lucas and his colleagues as they sought to protect the emerging franchise from hostile studio executives. He shows how, despite the involvement of some of the most talented people in the business, creative differences between movie and television writers led to a wildly uneven product. Packed with memorable anecdotes, drawing on new interviews with countless people involved in the production, and told with mingled affection and bewilderment, this never-before-told story gives a fascinating look at a strange moment in pop-culture history.

  The Grateful Dead were one of the most successful live acts of the rock era. Performing more than 2,300 shows between 1965 and 1995, the Grateful Dead's reputation as a "live band" was—and continues to be—sustained by thousands of live concert recordings from every era of the group's long and colorful career. In Live Dead, musicologist John Brackett examines how live recordings—from the group's official releases to fan-produced tapes, bootlegs to "Betty Boards," and Dick's Picks to From the Vault—have shaped the general history and popular mythology of the Grateful Dead for more than fifty years. Drawing on a diverse array of materials and documents contained in the Grateful Dead Archive, Live Dead details how live recordings became meaningful among the band and their fans not only as sonic souvenirs of past musical performances but also as expressions of assorted ideals, including notions of "liveness," authenticity, and the power of recorded sound.

  *AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER*An intimate, hilarious memoir of art, friendship, queerness, and found family, written and read by Kate Moennig and Leisha Hailey, stars of The L Word—including never-before-shared stories from behind the scenes of the show and their personal lives. This program includes an exclusive bonus Q&A with fans' questions. "Are you comfortable with nudity?" my manager asked.In the early 2000s, Kate Moennig and Leisha Hailey—both young artists trying to figure it all out—met at auditions for an unknown little TV show. Given that it was a show about lesbians living in Los Angeles, with the first ever ensemble cast of openly queer female characters, Kate and Leisha knew the project was going to be unlike anything else out there—that is, if it even got picked up.Then, one million people watched the premiere. The show, which came to be called The L Word, turned into a trailblazing phenomenon. Its influence on pop culture, in the political arena, and in the lives of viewers has been lasting, impactful, even life-saving. And in addition to changing the course of television history, The L Word changed Kate and Leisha's lives forever.From their first day on set, Kate and Leisha have always had each other’s backs, inseparable to the degree that the cast joked they were like a pair of pants—you couldn't have one leg without the other. Hence the name for their branded partnership, PANTS, launched in 2020, and accompanying podcast, which has been downloaded over twenty million times.This friendship has seen Kate and Leisha through their greatest triumphs and most painful moments, stumbling from closeted queer kids in a hostile culture, to LGBTQ+ activists, actors, podcasters, and business owners. Full of never-before-shared glimpses into the making of The L Word, Kate and Leisha's real-life loves and losses, and their experience as queer icons, So Gay for You is a heartfelt, inspiring love letter to a ride or die friendship over the decades, and a testament to the liberating power of chosen family.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

  INCEPTION 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY CHRISTOPHER NOLAN 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  Inception is a mind-bending science fiction thriller directed by Christopher Nolan. The film follows Dom Cobb, a skilled thief who specializes in "extraction," stealing secrets from within a person's subconscious during dreams. Cobb is offered a chance to have his criminal past erased if he can perform the impossible: "inception," planting an idea in someone's mind without them realizing. To achieve this, he assembles a team and navigates multiple layers of dreams within dreams. The movie explores themes of memory, guilt, reality, and the power of the subconscious, blending action with deep philosophical questions about perception and identity. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “Christopher Nolan has said that the snow-based third-level dream was inspired by his favorite James Bond film, On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969).” 
    
  “Joseph Gordon-Levitt performed all but one of his own stunts during the famous hallway fight scene, which took place in a spinning hallway.” 
    
  “According to cinematographer Wally Pfister, Warner Brothers executives suggested making this movie in 3D, but Christopher Nolan rejected the idea, claiming it would distract from the storytelling.” 
    
  “Leonardo DiCaprio was the only choice for the role of Cobb, according to Christopher Nolan and producer Emma Thomas.” 
    
  “Christopher Nolan first pitched Inception to Warner Brothers after completing his third film, Insomnia (2002), and received approval. However, the movie wasn't written at that time. It took nearly eight years to complete the script.”
