  RESERVOIR DOGS 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY QUENTIN TARANTINO 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  "Reservoir Dogs" is a 1992 crime film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. The story follows a group of criminals who are brought together to carry out a diamond heist, only for the plan to go horribly wrong. After the botched job, the gang members, who know each other only by color-coded aliases, begin to suspect that one of them is an undercover cop. The film focuses on themes of loyalty, betrayal, and violence, featuring sharp dialogue, non-linear storytelling, and intense character development. Tarantino’s unique style combines humor with brutal action, creating a tense and gripping atmosphere. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “The film's budget was so low that many of the actors were asked to bring their own clothing. For example, Chris Penn wore his own track jacket, while Steve Buscemi wore black jeans instead of suit pants. Michael Madsen wore a jacket and pants from two different suits.” 
    
  “Madonna, who is referenced in the opening conversation of the film, liked the movie but disagreed with Quentin Tarantino's interpretation of her song "Like a Virgin". She gave him a signed copy of her album "Erotica" with the note: "To Quentin. It's not about dick, it's about love." 
    
  “Due to budget constraints, the production couldn't afford police assistance for traffic control. In one scene, Steve Buscemi hijacks a woman's car, but the scene could only be filmed when the traffic lights were green.”

  LA LA LAND 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY DAMIEN CHAZELLE 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  La La Land is a romantic musical drama that follows the story of Mia, an aspiring actress, and Sebastian, a passionate jazz musician, as they meet and fall in love while pursuing their dreams in Los Angeles. The film explores themes of ambition, love, sacrifice, and the challenges of balancing personal dreams with relationships. Through vibrant musical numbers and stunning cinematography, La La Land celebrates both the beauty and the harsh realities of chasing one’s artistic aspirations. It combines nostalgia for classic Hollywood musicals with a modern, bittersweet take on love and ambition in the entertainment industry. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “The audition scene where the casting director interrupts Mia's emotional performance to take a phone call was inspired by one of Ryan Gosling's auditions in real life.” 
    
  “Only 30 dancers were used for the "Another Day of Sun" sequence. Most of the people and cars seen in the background are CGI.” 
    
  “John Legend had to learn how to play the guitar for his role, despite being a classically trained pianist in real life.” 
    
  “Tom Hanks was so impressed by the film that, during a press conference for his film Sully, he recommended it to all reporters.” 
    
  “Filming of La La Land took place in just eight weeks, during the summer of 2015.”

  Laurence Olivier and Richard...

  Of all the great actors of the 20th century, none personifies acting royalty more than Laurence Olivier, and some of this is simply due to the fact that he was actually knighted in 1947, along with a lengthy list of other honors that include being named a life peer in 1970 and admission to the Order of Merit in 1984. To speak of The Right Honourable Lord Laurence Olivier is not a figure of speech but rather a fact. Of course, in addition to the literal sense of the term, there is undeniably a manner in which Laurence Olivier qualifies as acting royalty, as it is not for nothing that Spencer Tracy once referred to Olivier as “the greatest actor in the English-speaking world” (Bacall). It is also important to note that Tracy refers to Olivier not as a film or theater actor specifically, because much of Olivier’s lofty standing derives from his ability to successfully navigate different mediums like stage, film, and television. The breadth of mediums in which he worked, the various roles he inhabited within them (actor, producer, director), and the formidable time span of his career lend Olivier’s career a scope of perhaps unmatched magnitude.   
  	In the 1960s, the most popular actor in the world was Richard Burton, a hard-drinking Welshman who was nevertheless so professional that he was one of the preeminent stage performers of his day. In fact, he performed Shakespeare so magnificently that he was compared to British legend Laurence Olivier, and that success ultimately led to a film career that earned him 7 Academy Award nominations, as well as BAFTA and Golden Globe awards for Best Actor. Given his accomplishments on the stage and in Hollywood, Burton became one of the world’s most recognizable leading men, so it seemed fitting that he engaged in one of Hollywood’s most legendary romances with Elizabeth Taylor.

  From Triumph superstar Rik Emmett comes the thrilling, inspiring story of a life of rock and roll
  		 
  While describing the impulse driving his life and work, Rik Emmett explains, “I was never in it for the sex and drugs — ah, but the rock and roll. Creativity was, and still is, my it — the truth I bet my life on. It was also, always, about play. The play’s the thing …”
  		 
  Merging memoir, anecdotes, and masterclasses on guitar, songwriting, and the artist’s mindset, Lay It On The Line offers insight and perspective into the many roles Rik Emmett took on. “It” was always a parboiling, psychological gumbo: and this book attempts to finally share the recipe.
  		 
  It also includes photos from Emmett’s own archives, plus the definitive, detailed reasons behind why he walked from Triumph — and came back two decades later.
  		 
  Rock star, it seems, was a character for Rik Emmett to inhabit … a great gig, a catalytic door-opener … it was a role that led to other adventures — and these are the stories he’s chosen to tell.
