  SE7EN 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY DAVID FINCHER 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  Se7en is a psychological crime thriller directed by David Fincher. The film follows two detectives, the seasoned William Somerset and the impulsive David Mills, as they investigate a series of gruesome murders based on the seven deadly sins. The killer, known as John Doe, orchestrates his crimes as a twisted form of social commentary, leading the detectives into a dark and disturbing world. With its grim atmosphere, Se7en explores themes of morality, justice, and the human condition, using tension, suspense, and psychological horror to delve deep into the minds of both the detectives and the killer. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “Leland Orser prepared for his intense interrogation scene by rapidly breathing in and out to saturate his body with oxygen, enabling him to hyperventilate. Additionally, he stayed awake for several days to achieve a disoriented look for his character.” 
    
  “Initially, New Line executives were opposed to the film's ending, but Brad Pitt insisted on keeping it as is, refusing to participate if any changes were made.” 
    
  “Director David Fincher told both Kevin Spacey and Brad Pitt that while the film might not be the movie they'd be remembered for, it would be one they'd take immense pride in.” 
    
  “During the filming of the chase scene where Mills follows John Doe in the rain, Brad Pitt fell and injured his arm by smashing it through a car windshield. The injury was later incorporated into the script.”

  Fantasies of Nina Simone

  Since her death in 2003, Nina Simone has been the subject of an astonishing number of rereleased, remastered, and remixed albums and compilations as well as biographies, films, viral memes, samples, and soundtracks. In Fantasies of Nina Simone, Jordan Alexander Stein examines the space between our collective and individual fantasies about Simone the performer, civil rights activist, and icon, and her own fantasies about herself. Stein outlines how Simone gave voice to personal fantasies through releasing dozens of covers of her white male contemporaries. With her covers of George Harrison, the Bee Gees, Bob Dylan, and others, Simone explored and claimed the power and perspective that come with race and gender privilege. Looking at examples from Simone's four-decade genre-bending career—from songbook standards, jazz, and pop to folk, junkanoo, and reggae—and at her work's many uptakes and afterlives, Stein mobilizes the psychoanalytic concept of fantasy to build a black feminist history with and for this multifaceted performing artist.

  These three works highlight how architecture and intellectual ambition shaped the heart of the Middle Ages and left a legacy that endures to this day. 
  Begin with The Gothic Cathedral, a stunning symbol of spiritual devotion and engineering genius. Soaring spires, flying buttresses, and luminous stained glass windows combined to create sacred spaces that lifted hearts and minds toward heaven. These architectural marvels not only defined the skyline of medieval Europe but also reflected the era’s complex religious and social structures. 
  Next, delve into The Carolingian Renaissance, a revival of learning, literacy, and classical influence under Charlemagne's rule. This movement sparked architectural innovation, preserved ancient knowledge, and laid the foundations for a more cohesive European identity during a time of fragmentation and uncertainty. 
  Conclude with The Italian City-States, hubs of commerce, culture, and politics. Their wealth and rivalry fueled a vibrant civic life and groundbreaking urban planning that blended practicality with beauty. From Florence to Venice, these city-states bridged the medieval and Renaissance worlds, forever changing the course of European history. 
  Together, these works offer a window into how medieval people built not only physical structures—but also enduring cultural legacies.

  The amazingly insightful, funny and brilliant record of Michael Palin's prime years as a member of the famed comedic group, Monty Python. “Charming and at times revelatory . . . A voice of (relative) sanity in the eye of a comedic storm, Palin paints so vivid a picture that the reader becomes a Python by proxy.” —The New York Times Book ReviewMichael Palin has kept a diary since newly married in the late 1960s, when he was beginning to make a name for himself as a TV scriptwriter, and Monty Python was just around the corner.This volume of his diaries reveals how Python emerged and triumphed, how he, John Cleese, Graham Chapman, the two Terrys—Jones and Gilliam—and Eric Idle came together and changed the face of British comedy. But this is only part of Palin’s story. Here, too, is his growing family, his home in a north London Victorian terrace, his solo effort as an actor, and his writing endeavors (often in partnership with Terry Jones) that produce Ripping Yarns and even a pantomime.Meanwhile Monty Python refuses to go away: his account of the making of both The Holy Grail and the Life of Brian movies are page-turners, and the sometimes extraordinary goings-on of the many powerful personalities who coalesced to form the Python team makes for funny and riveting reading.A perceptive and funny chronicle, the diaries are a rich portrait of a fascinating period.“It is terrifically good: funny, astute, and wonderfully written.” —The Boston Globe
