  ABOUT THE FILM 
  Raiders of the Lost Ark is an action-adventure film directed by Steven Spielberg and produced by George Lucas. Set in 1936, it follows Indiana Jones, a daring archaeologist, as he races against Nazi forces to find the Ark of the Covenant, a biblical relic believed to possess immense power. Along the way, Jones faces treacherous enemies, dangerous traps, and a complicated relationship with his former lover, Marion Ravenwood. The film blends thrilling action, suspense, and historical mythology, paying homage to classic adventure serials while exploring themes of courage, greed, and the quest for power. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “Harrison Ford ad-libbed the line "It's not the years, honey, it's the mileage" to Marion on the ship.” 
    
  “The "body blow" sounds were made by striking a pile of leather jackets with a baseball bat.” 
    
  “Alfred Molina had his first credited role in this film, where he had to endure being covered in tarantulas.” 
    
  “During filming in Tunisia, almost everyone on set fell ill, except for Steven Spielberg. He avoided sickness by only eating cans of Spaghetti-O's that he brought himself.” 
    
  “A python bit first assistant director David Tomblin during the "Well of Souls" scene, and it wouldn’t let go until someone grabbed its tail and snapped it, making the snake release its bite.”

  Comedian Claudia Stavola understands we’re living in sensitive times and the word hate is controversial, so she doesn’t use it loosely. She only uses it for serious infractions like gender reveal parties, guys who wear shorts when it’s forty below, and Gwyneth Paltrow’s vagina candle.  
  You’ll be thoroughly entertained and in awe of how Stavola’s raucous sarcasm mirrors your inner most thoughts in this hilarious collection of easy-to-read essays. With her witty and insightful observations, she’s like a modern-day George Carlin, except hairier. (Hey, she’s Italian. She was born with a mustache). 
  100 Things to Hate Before You Die is astute, honest, and laugh-out-loud funny. Claudia shares her aggravation over a range of topics from mundane things like Fakebook, crappy gift-givers, and ukuleles on talent show auditions, to more thought-provoking topics such as people with no shame, the need for a license to parent, and the death of Eddie Van Halen.  
  Delivered with razor-sharp force, Stavola’s hysterical and unique takes on everyday a**holes makes this not only a great read for comedy lovers, but a must-read.
