Synopsis

I'm not the only one with islomania – lots of people have the same affliction, for which there is no known cure, thank goodness. I have a similar affinity for boats and I think the similarity is that they are both tiny worlds, bounded by water.
Richard Clubley makes no secret of his love of Scottish islands. In fact, it's his mission to spread the love through writing about all the islands he has visited. The Sea All Around is a very personal appreciation of these places – 'remote' to some, but the centre of the world for those who live there.
Richard gets to the heart of island life, picking up on the particular character of each island he visits by making friends and learning about local history and lore, such as the story of the exploding float on Lunga, the ingenious defence of the garrison at Cairn-na-Burgh on the Treshnish Isles and the Battle of Bloody Bay on Mull.
I still love a blank sheet of paper and the first sentence of a new island story.

    ABOUT THE FILM 
    Get Out is a 2017 horror film directed by Jordan Peele. It follows Chris Washington, a young African American man, who visits the family home of his white girlfriend, Rose. Initially, the visit seems uneventful, but Chris soon becomes uncomfortable with the odd behavior of the family and their strange connections with black servants. As the weekend progresses, he begins to uncover unsettling truths about his girlfriend’s family. The film explores themes of racism, privilege, and exploitation, blending social commentary with psychological horror and suspense. It challenges perceptions of race while creating a chilling, tense atmosphere. 
      
    TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
      
    “Daniel Kaluuya was cast as the lead after impressing Jordan Peele during his audition. Kaluuya performed five takes of a crucial scene where his character has to cry, and each time, a single tear fell at the same moment in each take.” 
      
    “Jordan Peele mentioned that the title of the film is a nod to what he often hears from black audiences when watching horror films: they shout ‘Get out!’ at the screen. In the movie, both Rod and Andre say it to Chris.” 
      
    “The success of Get Out made Jordan Peele the first African-American writer, producer, and director to earn more than $100 million with his debut film.” 
      
    “Chance the Rapper was so impressed by Get Out that he bought out movie tickets at select Chicago theaters so people could watch the film for free. He tweeted about it, saying, ‘Just pull up with an ID and enjoy the movie.’”

    '. . . there is a quiet here that doesn't exist on land, a fluid suspension that reminds me that humans were never meant to be so rigid, so fixed in place. In the sea, we are both vulnerable and free . . .'
    Deep Blue is a love letter to the sea, exploring humans' deep connection with the ocean and the bliss of swimming, diving, dipping and simply being in salt water.
    Join Veruska De Vita, a learner free diver and open-water swimmer, as she delves into why the ocean calls to us. Along the way she talks to those who find healing and wellness in swimming groups and cold-water immersion, scientists who study complex marine environments, elite athletes who swim super-human distances along our coasts and free divers who plumb the depths with one breath.
    Water is primordial. It gives life. It represents hope and renewal. This book is not only for sea worshippers. It promises to inspire everyone to jump with joy into the waves – and offers reflections on our intimate relationship with the sea, which supports life on earth and requests that we respect it.

    INSIDE OUT 
    THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
      
    FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY PETE DOCTER 
      
    CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
      
    ABOUT THE FILM 
    Inside Out is an animated film that explores the emotions inside the mind of an 11-year-old girl named Riley. After moving to a new city, Riley’s emotions—Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Disgust—must work together to help her navigate the challenges of adjusting to her new life. The film delves into themes of growing up, emotional growth, and the complexity of feelings, portraying how both positive and negative emotions play a crucial role in shaping one’s personality and experiences. It blends humor, adventure, and heartfelt moments while providing a unique look at the human mind. 
      
    TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
      
    “At the end of the movie with the cat, the background poster reads "sure locks for homes," a playful reference to Sherlock Holmes.” 
      
    “Bing Bong reminisces over a recent memory of Riley, feeling she has grown too large to fit in the wagon. This moment leads to a quiet realization that his time is running out and he may be a burden.” 
      
    “Bing Bong's final line is often misquoted as "Take her to the moon for me, Joy." The actual line is "Take her to the moon for me, okay?" 
      
    “Joy is often viewed as the only positive emotion in the movie, while the other emotions are seen as negative. However, the film shows that no emotion is inherently positive or negative.”
