  ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY QUENTIN TARANTINO 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is a 2019 film directed by Quentin Tarantino. Set in 1969 Los Angeles, it follows Rick Dalton, a fading TV star, and his loyal stunt double, Cliff Booth, as they navigate the rapidly changing Hollywood landscape. The story intertwines their lives with that of Sharon Tate, a rising star, and the looming influence of the Manson Family. The film blends nostalgia for the golden age of Hollywood with dark satire, exploring themes of friendship, fame, and the shifting nature of the entertainment industry, all within Tarantino's trademark mix of humor and tension. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “Brad Pitt improvised the line, "You're Rick fucking Dalton! Don't you forget that." He based this on advice he received from an actor during the early 1990s.” 
    
  “The film's producers faced challenges when trying to convince Hollywood Boulevard vendors to allow them to fit their storefronts with 1960s-style facades. Surprisingly, after filming concluded, many of the vendors asked if they could leave the period facades in place, as they had grown to prefer the vintage look.” 
    
  “Margot Robbie, who plays Sharon Tate, wore some of Sharon Tate's actual jewelry, which was lent to her by Tate’s sister, Debra Tate.”

  Kubrick's Men

  Richard Rambuss

  The work of Stanley Kubrick amounts to a sustained reflection on the male condition: past, present, and future. The persistent theme of his filmmaking is less violence or sex than it is the pressurized exertion of masculinity in unusual or extreme circumstances, where it may be taxed or exaggerated to various effects, tragic and comic—or metamorphosed, distorted, and even undone. 
   
   
   
  The stories that Kubrick's movies tell range from global nuclear politics to the unpredictable sexual dynamics of a marriage; from a day in the life of a New York City prizefighter preparing for a nighttime bout to the evolution of humankind. These male melodramas center on sociality and asociality. They feature male doubles, pairs, and rivals. They explore the romance of men and their machines, and men as machines. They figure intensely conflicted forms of male sexual desire. And they are also very much about male manners, style, taste, and art. 
   
   
   
  Examining the formal, thematic, and theoretical affiliations between Kubrick's three bodies of work, Kubrick's Men offers new vantages on to the question of gender and sexuality, including the first extended treatment of homosexuality in Kubrick's male-oriented work. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.

  Pop Masculinities - The Politics...

  In Pop Masculinities, author Kai Arne Hansen investigates the performance and policing of masculinity in pop music as a starting point for grasping the broad complexity of gender and its politics in the early twenty-first century. Drawing together perspectives from critical musicology, gender studies, and adjacent scholarly fields, the book presents extended case studies of five well-known artists: Zayn, Lil Nas X, Justin Bieber, The Weeknd, and Take That. 
   
   
   
  By directing particular attention to the ambiguities and contradictions that arise from these artists' representations of masculinity, Hansen argues that pop performances tend to operate in ways that simultaneously reinforce and challenge gender norms and social inequalities. Providing a rich exploration of these murky waters, Hansen merges the interpretation of recorded song and music video with discourse analysis and media ethnography in order to engage with the full range of pop artists' public identities as they emerge at the intersections between processes of performance, promotion, and reception. In so doing, he advances our understanding of the aesthetic and discursive underpinnings of gender politics in twenty-first century pop culture and encourages listeners to contemplate the sociopolitical implications of their own musical engagements as audiences, critics, musicians, and 
  scholars.

  In 1938, Graham became the first dancer to perform at the White House. In 1976, she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Gerald Ford. Graham's influence on dance has been compared with the influence of Picasso on modern visual arts, Stravinsky on music, and Frank Lloyd Wright on architecture.
