INSIDE OUT THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY PETE DOCTER CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE ABOUT THE FILM Inside Out is an animated film that explores the emotions inside the mind of an 11-year-old girl named Riley. After moving to a new city, Riley’s emotions—Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Disgust—must work together to help her navigate the challenges of adjusting to her new life. The film delves into themes of growing up, emotional growth, and the complexity of feelings, portraying how both positive and negative emotions play a crucial role in shaping one’s personality and experiences. It blends humor, adventure, and heartfelt moments while providing a unique look at the human mind. TRIVIA SAMPLES: “At the end of the movie with the cat, the background poster reads "sure locks for homes," a playful reference to Sherlock Holmes.” “Bing Bong reminisces over a recent memory of Riley, feeling she has grown too large to fit in the wagon. This moment leads to a quiet realization that his time is running out and he may be a burden.” “Bing Bong's final line is often misquoted as "Take her to the moon for me, Joy." The actual line is "Take her to the moon for me, okay?" “Joy is often viewed as the only positive emotion in the movie, while the other emotions are seen as negative. However, the film shows that no emotion is inherently positive or negative.”Show book
A one-of-a-kind collection including some never-before-seen photographs of the wild and unforgettable WHA from legendary sports photographer Steve Babineau On October 12, 1972, legendary Boston sports photographer, Steve Babineau, was in attendance for the debut of the New England Whalers. They were taking on the Philadelphia Blazers at the old Boston Garden — and Babs was shooting the action. Fifty years later, he’s still photographing big-league sports events — but this lovingly curated collection documents both his earliest published (and unseen) works and the wild emergence of the colorful, revolutionary, wild, and unforgettable WHA. In an era when rolls of film still had to be changed by hand and cameras were focused manually, when arena lighting was questionable and images had to be captured through the haze produced by smoking fans, Babineau captured it all: the timeless legends who were finally getting paid, the journeymen who finally got a shot at the pros, the 17-year-old who would go on to rewrite record books, the brawls and goals, the glorious ’staches and flows, the highs and the lows … Behind the Lens: The World Hockey Association 50 Years Later has the Golden Jet and the Howes, the teams that seemed to change names and cities as often as some players changed wooden sticks, and even the true origin story of that Wayne Gretzky photo that’s become the million-dollar holy grail for sports card collectors.Show book
It is often claimed that the French invented cinema. Dominating the production and distribution of cinema until WWI, when they were supplanted by Hollywood, the French cinema industry encompassed all genres, from popular entertainment to avant-garde practice. This Very Short Introduction opens up French cinema through focusing on some of its most notable works, using the lens of the New Wave decade (1958-1968) that changed cinema worldwide. Exploring the entire French cinematic oeuvre, Dudley Andrew teases out distinguishing themes, tendencies, and lineages, to bring what is most crucial about French Cinema into alignment. He discusses how style has shaped the look of female stars and film form alike, analyzing the "made up" aesthetic of many films, and the paradoxical penchant for French cinema to cruelly unmask surface beauty in quests for authenticity. Discussing how French cinema as a whole pits strong-willed characters against auteurs with high-minded ideas of film art, funded by French cinema's close rapport to literature, painting, and music, Dudley considers how the New Wave emerged from these struggles, becoming an emblem of ambition for cinema that persists today. He goes on to show how the values promulgated by the New Wave directors brought the three decades that preceded it into focus, and explores the deep resonance of those values today.Show book
