PULP FICTION
THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION
FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY QUENTIN TARANTINO
CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE
ABOUT THE FILM
Pulp Fiction is a 1994 crime film directed by Quentin Tarantino, known for its nonlinear storytelling and dark humor. The movie weaves together multiple interconnected stories revolving around Los Angeles criminals. It follows hitmen Vincent Vega and Jules Winnfield, boxer Butch Coolidge, and gangster Marsellus Wallace, among others, as they navigate a world filled with violence, betrayal, and redemption. The film's sharp dialogue, unconventional structure, and exploration of fate, morality, and human nature set it apart. Blending elements of noir, black comedy, and pop culture references, Pulp Fiction became a landmark in independent cinema.
TRIVIA SAMPLES:
“Jules tells Marcellus to send the "Cavalry" to help him and Vincent when they accidentally shoot Marvin. In "The Hateful Eight," Samuel L. Jackson later portrays a retired cavalry infantryman.”
“In each of the vignettes, an unexpected incident of death forces the characters to seek refuge somewhere and try to fix the situation. For instance, Butch accidentally kills his opponent in the ring and hides at a hotel from Marcellus, while Vincent kills Marvin and he and Jules go to Jimmy's house to resolve the issue. Mia overdoses on heroin, leading Vincent to take her to Lance's house for help.”
"Pulp Fiction" is listed in the Official Top 250 Narrative Feature Films on Letterboxd.”

Songbook

Joshua Idehen

"We know where we came from. We came on boats, onplanes, with passports and on the back of trucks. Weworked three jobs and sent the money back home. Webrought our motherland to life in our kitchens, ourbedrooms, our churches, our songs, our dance, our sex,our pidgin, our patois…"
Joshua Idehen's collected works has been a long time coming. Songbook comprises verses from Mercury-nominated and MOBO-winning albums by Sons of Kemet and The Comet Is Coming, alongside watershed poems of spoken word legend, newly captured in book form. From Poejazzi and Benin City to a string of supreme collaborations, Idehen's impact resonates far and wide across the landscapes of poetry and jazz/electronica. Cross-examining colonialism, masculinity, mental health and ways of healing, his writing is an essential provocation, a diasporic dance, a comedy roast, an intervention, a cannonball from which no one is safe, least of all himself.

Wagner and the Creation of the Ring

Michael Downes

Part cultural history, part biography, this is the fascinating story of Richard Wagner's life, influences, gift for storytelling, and artistic revolution, culminating in his dramatic journey to write The Ring Cycle. 
 
The Ring Cycle is one of the most epic and compelling operas of the nineteenth century, created by a composer who was, alongside Dickens, Tolstoy, and Victor Hugo, also one of the century's master storytellers. But the story of how Richard Wagner created the work is one full of intrigue and triumphs against unlikely odds—as well as controversy, due to the composer's antisemitic views and popularity with the Nazi party. 
 
In Wagner and the Creation of the Ring, Michael Downes combines cultural history and biography to recount the colorful, fascinating, and insightful journey behind the creation of The Ring and its mythology. He tells the story of how and why this extraordinary masterpiece came into being, why it takes the form it does, why it fascinates and obsesses so many—and horrifies others—and why it still matters today.
