Predator - A Memoir a Movie an...

Ander Monson

In his first memoir, Ander Monson guides listeners through a scene-by-scene exploration of the 1987 film Predator, which he has watched 146 times. Some fighters might not have time to bleed, but Monson has the patience to consider their adventure, one frame at a time. He turns his obsession into a lens through which he poignantly examines his own life, formed by mainstream, white, male American culture. Between scenes, Monson delves deeply into his adolescence in Michigan's Upper Peninsula and Riyadh, his role as a father and the loss of his own mother, and his friendships with men bound by the troubled camaraderie depicted in action and sci-fi blockbusters. Along with excursions into the conflicted pleasures of cosplay and first-person shooters, he imagines himself beside the poet and memoirist Paul Monette, who wrote the novelization of the movie while his partner was dying of AIDS. 
 
 
 
A sincere and playful book that lovingly dissects the film, Predator also offers questions and critiques of masculinity, fandom, and their interrelation with acts of mass violence. In a stirring reversal, one chapter exposes Monson through the Predator's heat-seeking vision, asking him, "What do you know about the workings of the hidden world?" As Monson brings us into the brilliant depths of the film and its universe, the hunt begins.

THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
  
FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY CHRISTOPHER NOLAN 
  
CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
  
ABOUT THE FILM 
Memento is a psychological thriller directed by Christopher Nolan that follows Leonard Shelby, a man suffering from anterograde amnesia, which prevents him from forming new memories. Unable to remember anything beyond a few minutes, Leonard embarks on a quest to find the person responsible for the attack that killed his wife. Using Polaroid photographs and tattoos as his only means of retaining information, Leonard struggles to piece together the truth. The film explores themes of memory, perception, and self-deception, with its nonlinear narrative structure reflecting the fragmented and unreliable nature of Leonard's memory. 
  
TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
  
“Jennifer Todd, impressed by Carrie-Anne Moss's performance in "The Matrix," suggested her for the role of Natalie. Despite competition for the role, Christopher Nolan cast Moss, believing she added depth to the character.” 
  
“The idea for the film’s subject matter emerged when Christopher Nolan and his brother Jonathan took a road trip. By the time they reached Los Angeles, the entire screenplay had been discussed between them.” 
  
“Although the opening sequence is played backward, all sound effects are normal, except for Teddy’s scream, which is reversed.” 
  
“Guy Pearce improvised many of the voiceovers for Leonard’s character.”

SE7EN 
THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
  
FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY DAVID FINCHER 
  
CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
  
ABOUT THE FILM 
Se7en is a psychological crime thriller directed by David Fincher. The film follows two detectives, the seasoned William Somerset and the impulsive David Mills, as they investigate a series of gruesome murders based on the seven deadly sins. The killer, known as John Doe, orchestrates his crimes as a twisted form of social commentary, leading the detectives into a dark and disturbing world. With its grim atmosphere, Se7en explores themes of morality, justice, and the human condition, using tension, suspense, and psychological horror to delve deep into the minds of both the detectives and the killer. 
  
TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
  
“Leland Orser prepared for his intense interrogation scene by rapidly breathing in and out to saturate his body with oxygen, enabling him to hyperventilate. Additionally, he stayed awake for several days to achieve a disoriented look for his character.” 
  
“Initially, New Line executives were opposed to the film's ending, but Brad Pitt insisted on keeping it as is, refusing to participate if any changes were made.” 
  
“Director David Fincher told both Kevin Spacey and Brad Pitt that while the film might not be the movie they'd be remembered for, it would be one they'd take immense pride in.” 
  
“During the filming of the chase scene where Mills follows John Doe in the rain, Brad Pitt fell and injured his arm by smashing it through a car windshield. The injury was later incorporated into the script.”
