THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
  
FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY WES ANDERSON 
  
CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
  
ABOUT THE FILM 
The Royal Tenenbaums is a quirky comedy-drama directed by Wes Anderson, centered around the dysfunctional Tenenbaum family. The film follows the lives of three gifted siblings—Chas, Margot, and Richie—who experience early success but later face personal struggles and failure. Their eccentric father, Royal, returns to their lives, claiming he has a terminal illness, and attempts to reconcile with his children and ex-wife. The film explores themes of family dysfunction, lost potential, and redemption, with Anderson’s signature use of dry humor, visual symmetry, and an eclectic soundtrack, creating a deeply emotional yet whimsical narrative. 
  
TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
  
“The hand shown with a BB lodged between its knuckles does not belong to Ben Stiller, but rather to Andrew Wilson, Owen and Luke Wilson's brother. When they were children, Owen shot a BB gun at Andrew's hand, and the BB remained there ever since.” 
  
“The original hawk that played Mordecai was kidnapped during production and held for ransom. Due to time constraints, the production used a different bird with more white feathers as a replacement.” 
  
“Gene Hackman revealed in interviews that he hesitated to take the role because he felt he had been insensitive to his own family at times. He asked them whether they would feel uncomfortable with him playing the character. They encouraged him to accept the role.”

    Buddhist ethics are based on natural laws, not social customs or man-made laws. Buddhist morality judges actions based on their intention or motivation, and considers actions rooted in greed, hatred, or selfishness to be bad. Actions rooted in love, generosity, and wisdom are considered good.

    From the iconic stylist and fashion provocateur whose designs transformed culture—bringing the glitz of Studio 54 and the sophistication of Sex and the City to the mainstream—comes a playful yet intimate memoir of a life spent challenging conventions. 
 
Carrie Bradshaw’s pairing of a tutu with a tank top is one of the most iconic outfits ever seen on television—and a look that turned avant-garde New York designer and stylist Patricia Field into a household name. But before she was crowned the fairy godmother of haute couture, Field was the owner of the longtime East Village emporium Pat Field, a haven for drag queens, club kids, starving artists, NYU freshmen, and creative visionaries alike. Presiding over downtown with her distinctive vermillion hair and a constantly lit cigarette, Patricia was a rock ’n’ roll den mother to everyone from Amanda Lepore to Lady Bunny to Patti Smith, with her store providing the city’s eccentrics with a place to discover a sense of family, home, and a rhinestone bedazzled bustier or two. 
In Pat in the City, Patricia describes her journey from scrappy Queens kid peddling men’s pants to the fashion world’s most notorious renegade. As the daughter of immigrant parents, Field learned the principles of glamour from her entrepreneurial mother, and applied her NYU lessons on democracy to inform a fashion ethos that would reach millions. From her Studio 54 disco-glam styling to her award-winning work in The Devil Wears Prada and Sex and the City to today’s buzzy costuming in Emily in Paris, Field’s inimitable styling has pushed the envelope and created trends that have become the culture standard. Now in her seventies, Patricia Field is ready to tell her story—not to take a final bow, but to spread her credo of challenging convention and filling the world with joy and dancing.
