  From critically acclaimed comedian Becky Lucas comes a funny, consoling and very candid collection of stories and essays about friends, enemies and figuring it out that establishes her as one of today's most original comedy writers. 
    
  There's no such thing as a perfect life, but there are perfectly hilarious moments. The best stories are often about the lowest points in our lives - the soul-crushing jobs, the bad boyfriends, the terrible holidays, the betrayals and heartbreaks. These are the stories I tell people to make them like me, but, more importantly, they've helped me learn how to like myself. 
  So this book is a collection of thankyous and acknowledgments: 
  * Thank you to an ex-lover who marvelled at the fact he could get hard with me, even though I wasn't up to his usual standard. 
  * Thank you to the coked-up real estate agent who, while lecturing me and my friend about the importance of travelling, fell down a flight of stairs. 
  * Thank you to the woman who approached me after a gig and told me she hoped her daughter wouldn't end up like me. 
  You've all taught me that you can't control who comes into your life or what happens to you, but you can decide just what it is you take from them.

  A CLOCKWORK ORANGE 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY STANLEY KUBRICK 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  A Clockwork Orange is a 1971 dystopian film directed by Stanley Kubrick, based on Anthony Burgess's novel. Set in a near-future society, it follows Alex DeLarge, a sadistic delinquent who leads a gang of criminals. The film explores themes of violence, free will, and social control, as Alex and his gang engage in brutal acts of "ultraviolence." After being caught, Alex undergoes an experimental treatment to "rehabilitate" him, stripping away his ability to choose between good and evil. Kubrick uses stark visuals, classical music, and dark humor to critique authoritarianism, behavioral conditioning, and the loss of individuality. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “Malcolm McDowell's eyes were anesthetized for the torture scenes so that he could film for extended periods without excessive discomfort. Despite this, his corneas were repeatedly scratched by the metal lid locks.” 
    
  “Stanley Kubrick's first cut of the film, before editing by several assistants, was nearly four hours long.” 
    
  “The doctor overseeing Alex during the violent film scenes was a real doctor, ensuring that Malcolm McDowell’s eyes did not dry out during filming.” 
    
  “The sped-up sex scene in the movie was originally filmed as a continuous take that lasted 28 minutes. This was revealed by Malcolm McDowell on the 2007 DVD commentary track.” 
    
  “Stanley Kubrick had his assistant destroy all unused footage after shooting wrapped on the film.”

  FANTASTIC MR. FOX 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY WES ANDERSON 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  Fantastic Mr. Fox is a stop-motion animated film directed by Wes Anderson, based on Roald Dahl’s classic children’s novel. The story follows Mr. Fox, a clever and adventurous fox who, after settling into a new home with his family, returns to his old ways of stealing from three cruel farmers. As he leads his family and animal friends in a series of heists, they face increasing danger. The film explores themes of family, loyalty, and the struggle between personal desires and responsibilities. With quirky humor, visual symmetry, and a heartfelt narrative, it balances whimsy and depth. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “Wes Anderson, the writer, producer, and director, opted to have the actors record their lines in natural, on-location settings rather than in a studio to capture a more spontaneous feel. The recordings took place in various locations, including a forest, an attic, a stable, and even underground.” 
    
  “The color scheme of the movie predominantly features autumn tones—yellow, orange, and brown—with very little use of green and blue. However, Kristofferson’s blue outfit was intentionally chosen to highlight his status as an outsider.” 
    
  "Fantastic Mr. Fox" was the first book Wes Anderson ever owned, a gift from his mother when he was seven years old. It has remained on his bookshelf ever since.”
