  Following the Irish coast in a clockwise direction, acclaimed ecologist Richard Nairn travels by boat, on foot and sometimes by air to visit the best remaining wild places, including islands, cliffs, beaches and dunes.
  The result is a unique mix of nature, history, science and a reflection on the author's personal experiences of exploring Ireland's coast. By viewing the Irish coastline from the sea, Richard gains a unique perspective on the island. And along the way, he recalls a lifetime spent studying nature.

  HER 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY SPIKE JONZE 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  Her is a 2013 science fiction romantic drama directed by Spike Jonze. Set in a near-future Los Angeles, the film follows Theodore Twombly, a lonely, introverted man who develops an unlikely romantic relationship with Samantha, an advanced artificial intelligence operating system voiced by Scarlett Johansson. As their connection deepens, Theodore grapples with his emotions, loneliness, and the nature of love in an increasingly digital world. The film explores themes of intimacy, identity, and the boundaries between human connection and technology, offering a thought-provoking look at the complexities of modern relationships in a tech-driven society. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “Spike Jonze, stuck in the editing process with an early 150-minute cut, asked Steven Soderbergh to edit it down. Soderbergh returned within 24 hours with a 90-minute cut, which helped Jonze finalize the film’s 126-minute runtime.” 
    
  “Director Spike Jonze loved his role as Alien Child so much that he would often give notes to his editor and producer while staying in character.” 
    
  “This is the only film written and directed by Spike Jonze, entirely based on his original script.” 
    
  “Charlie Kaufman contributed some uncredited screenwriting to the film.” 
    
  “The airplane sculpture featured in a square outside the Pacific Design Center was entirely created using CGI. There is no such sculpture at the actual location in West Hollywood.”
