We're Falling Through Space - Doctor Who and Celebrating the Mundane

J. David Reed

Publisher: 404 Ink

Summary

It's one of modern history's most beloved sci-fi creations and while the Doctor is revered world-round, what about their companions, friends and acquaintances along the way? For all the time travel and extravagant alien worlds, Doctor Who is often at its best when it looks to you, the average viewer, and how the lives and values of us human beings are actually spectacular.
The cup of tea or coffee we make in the morning, the relationships we carry and lose in life, the routines we love and hate, the vinegar-soaked chippies we have at night – they might look mundane against the spectacle of the Doctor but what if it's us, the humans, who are the fantastical ones?
In We're Falling Through Space, J. David Reed investigates how Doctor Who uses its larger-than-life lens to consider how the mundane is a lot more special than we might realise. As one of the Doctors put it, 'Do you know, in nine hundred years of time and space, I've never met anyone who wasn't important before.'

Art History Surrealism

Natalia Brodskaya

Arriving with a bang on the post-World War I scene, the Surrealists proclaimed a revolution of thought and creation, insisting on breaking away from the past and a world that had been left in ruins. This refusal to integrate into bourgeois society was also a leitmotiv of the Dada movement, a rebellious trait that led André Breton to say that Dadaism was “a machine had not thought to come up with new perspectives. It was this comment that gave birth to Surrealism. The Surrealists frequently collaborated with Dada artists on intellectual levels for which exclusivity had often become the general rule.
In his descriptions of the Surrealists as part of a force of absolute resistance, the author approaches the movement in an exciting and original way. Balanced between provocation and cultural revolution, weren’t the Surrealists most of all the products of creative individualism in this period buffeted by history?

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.”
