Film Trivia Metaverse

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.”

Urban Economics - Understanding...

Lyric Vale

Urban economics is the study of how economic forces shape the development, growth, and functioning of cities. In today’s rapidly urbanizing world, understanding the dynamics of urban areas is crucial for policymakers, businesses, and residents alike. Cities are the engines of economic activity, often driving national economies through industrialization, technological advancement, and labor market opportunities. The field of urban economics provides a framework for analyzing the complex interactions between land use, housing markets, transportation, and labor, all of which influence the growth and prosperity of cities.
One of the core ideas of urban economics is the concept of agglomeration, which refers to the concentration of people and businesses in a specific area to take advantage of economies of scale, reduced transportation costs, and access to a skilled workforce. This concentration leads to the formation of cities as hubs of economic activity, where services, manufacturing, and innovation thrive. However, agglomeration also brings challenges, such as congestion, pollution, and rising living costs. Urban economists seek to understand these trade-offs and develop policies that can foster economic growth while addressing the negative externalities associated with urbanization.
Another fundamental aspect of urban economics is the relationship between urban form and economic performance. Cities are not static entities; they evolve over time as they expand, change in function, and adapt to shifting economic realities. The spatial structure of a city—how land is used, where different activities are located, and the connectivity between various areas—can significantly impact its economic performance. Urban economics explores how factors like zoning laws, infrastructure, and transportation systems influence a city’s efficiency, livability, and overall success.

CABIN - Off the Grid Adventures...

Patrick Hutchison

This program is read by the author.“This is a great audiobook for nature lovers, carpenters, and people who dream of their hobby becoming their day job.”—AudioFileA memoir of the author's journey from an office job to restoring a cabin in the Pacific Northwest, based on his wildly popular Outside Magazine piece.Wit’s End isn’t just a state of mind. It’s the name of a gravel road, the address of a rundown, off-the-grid cabin, 120 shabby square feet of fixer-upper Patrick Hutchison purchased on a whim in the mossy woods of the Cascade Mountains in Washington state.To say Hutchison didn’t know what he was getting into is no more an exaggeration than to say he’s a man with nearly zero carpentry skills. Well, used to be. You can learn a lot over six years of renovations. CABIN is the story of those renovations, but it's also a love story; of a place, of possibilities, and of the process of construction, of seeing what could be instead of what is. It is an audiobook for those who know what it’s like to bite off more than you can chew, or who desperately wish to.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

Songbook

Joshua Idehen

"We know where we came from. We came on boats, onplanes, with passports and on the back of trucks. Weworked three jobs and sent the money back home. Webrought our motherland to life in our kitchens, ourbedrooms, our churches, our songs, our dance, our sex,our pidgin, our patois…"
Joshua Idehen's collected works has been a long time coming. Songbook comprises verses from Mercury-nominated and MOBO-winning albums by Sons of Kemet and The Comet Is Coming, alongside watershed poems of spoken word legend, newly captured in book form. From Poejazzi and Benin City to a string of supreme collaborations, Idehen's impact resonates far and wide across the landscapes of poetry and jazz/electronica. Cross-examining colonialism, masculinity, mental health and ways of healing, his writing is an essential provocation, a diasporic dance, a comedy roast, an intervention, a cannonball from which no one is safe, least of all himself.
"The poet laureate of UK jazz" Kate Hutchinson, The Guardian
"Idehen's words are always worth leaning in for." Q Magazine
