    Laurel and Hardy were a British-American comedy duo act during the early era of American cinema, consisting of Englishman Stan Laurel (1890–1965) and American Oliver Hardy (1892–1957). Starting their career as a duo in the silent film era, they later successfully transitioned to "talkies.” From the late 1920s to the mid-1950s, they were internationally famous for their slapstick comedy, with Laurel playing the clumsy, childlike friend to Hardy's pompous bully.

    Maurice Hornocker is recognized worldwide as the first scientist to unravel the secrets of America's most enigmatic predator—the mountain lion. A story of redemption, this book is a memoir about the never-before-told adventures, challenges, and controversies surrounding Hornocker's groundbreaking study of cougars in the remote reaches of the Idaho Primitive Area. 
     
     
     
    North America's biggest cat was once killed for bounty dollars, slaughtered with impunity and driven toward extinction. But today's cat of intrigue, despite our lingering fears and misconceptions, has returned to much of its native range in the western United States and gained respect as a predator integral and necessary to wild ecosystems. This turnaround was triggered by one man: Maurice Hornocker. Cougars on the Cliff recounts the early years of his research when he tracked lions following a dog's nose and footprints in the snow—before telemetry was available. Hornocker was first to learn that mountain lions living in stable populations limit their own numbers through territoriality and a concept he called "mutual avoidance." This insight flew in the face of long-held beliefs that cougars were prolific and wanton killers that needed to be controlled as vermin. Thanks to Hornocker's work, today cougars can be found throughout the West and have even started to reclaim their place in New England.

    CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
      
    ABOUT THE FILM 
    The Hateful Eight is a 2015 American Western thriller directed by Quentin Tarantino. Set in a remote Wyoming haberdashery during a snowstorm, eight strangers seek refuge, including bounty hunters, outlaws, and a sheriff. As tensions rise, secrets are revealed, and alliances are formed amidst growing suspicion. The film explores themes of betrayal, revenge, and justice, with sharp, witty dialogue and intense confrontations. The confined setting and escalating violence reflect the harsh realities of post-Civil War America. With a focus on character-driven suspense, Tarantino blends dark humor and brutal action to examine moral ambiguity and survival in a hostile environment. 
      
    TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
      
    “After the script was leaked online, Quentin Tarantino initially didn’t want to make the film. However, after a brief reading in Los Angeles, the cast became excited about the project. With Samuel L. Jackson's encouragement, Tarantino decided to go ahead with it.” 
      
    “Some of Ennio Morricone's compositions for the film were previously unused scores from The Thing (1982), a movie starring Kurt Russell.” 
      
    “At one point, Joe Gage (Michael Madsen) says, "A bastard’s work is never done," which was a tagline for the poster of Inglourious Basterds (2009).” 
      
    “Daisy's song was performed live by Jennifer Jason Leigh on set. The song, along with sounds of wood being hammered and dialogue by Kurt Russell, is featured in the film’s soundtrack.”
