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.”

POKÉMON
THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION
CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB
The Pokémon franchise began with Pocket Monsters Red and Green in 1996. It features creatures called Pokémon that humans coexist with. Players take the role of a Pokémon Trainer, who explores the world, catches Pokémon, and battles. The franchise includes video games, anime, and trading cards. The name "Pokémon" is an abbreviation of "Pocket Monsters". The franchise's primary target audience is children aged 5 to 12, but it attracts people of all ages. The franchise was conceived by Satoshi Tajiri, who was inspired by his childhood hobby of collecting insects. As of January 2024, 1,025 Pokémon species have been introduced.
CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES:
The Pokémon franchise was created by Satoshi Tajiri, who as a child enjoyed collecting insects and other small creatures. This childhood hobby inspired the concept of catching and collecting Pokémon in the game.
The initial idea for Pokémon involved using the Game Boy's link cable to allow players to exchange creatures, an idea inspired by the random item appearances in the game Dragon Quest II. Tajiri realized the cable could be used for something other than competing.
Gashapon capsules, toy-filled capsules from vending machines, were also an inspiration for the way Pokémon are captured and stored. The idea of miniaturized creatures stored in capsules was influenced by the show Ultraseven.
The original name for Pokémon was going to be Capsule Monsters, but it could not be trademarked, leading to the name Pocket Monsters, which was eventually shortened to Pokémon. The word "capsule" could not be used in the trademark.

Ancient Australia - The World of...

Lillian Brooks

Aboriginal culture is one of the oldest and most complex systems of human existence, stretching back over 60,000 years in Australia. The richness of this culture is woven through the landscape, the traditions, the language, and the deep spiritual connections the people have with the land. Far from a singular or homogeneous entity, Aboriginal culture is an intricate tapestry made up of diverse languages, customs, and belief systems that reflect the uniqueness of the many nations that have inhabited Australia for millennia.
At the heart of Aboriginal culture lies an unbreakable connection to Country. The concept of Country extends beyond mere geography; it encompasses the land, the waterways, the plants, the animals, and even the ancestors that reside within it. This intimate relationship shapes all aspects of life, from spiritual beliefs to daily practices. For Aboriginal people, their land is not simply a place to live, but a living entity that provides, sustains, and is cared for in return. This relationship is integral to the way Aboriginal communities structure their lives, making respect for and care of the environment a fundamental principle.
The Dreamtime, or the time of creation, forms the bedrock of Aboriginal spirituality and cultural practices. It is in this time that ancestral beings shaped the land, the people, and the laws that govern life. These stories, which are passed down through generations, guide and influence the way Aboriginal people live, ensuring their survival and cultural continuity. The Dreamtime is not a distant past but a present reality, interwoven with the lives of modern Aboriginal peoples.
