Searching, propulsive, and deeply spiritual, Accordion Eulogies is an odyssey to repair a severed family lineage, told through the surprising history of a musical instrument Growing up in Yakima, Washington, Noé Álvarez never knew his grandfather. Stories swirled around this mythologized, larger-than-life figure: That he had abandoned his family, and had possibly done something awful that put a curse on his descendants. About his grandfather, young Noé was sure of only one thing: That he had played the accordion. Now an adult, reckoning with the legacy of silence surrounding his family's migration from Mexico, Álvarez resolves both to take up the instrument and to journey into Mexico to discover the grandfather he never knew. Álvarez travels across the US with his accordion, meeting makers and players in cities that range from San Antonio to Boston. He uncovers the story of an instrument that's been central to classic American genres, but also played a critical role in indigenous Mexican history. Like the accordion itself, Álvarez feels trapped between his roots in Mexico and the US. As he tries to make sense of his place in the world—as a father, a son, a musician—he gets closer to uncovering the mystery of his origins.Ver libro
This must-listen account of starting at the lowest rung on the production ladder among enormously famous and outrageously demanding people will be devoured for its insights, gossip, humor, and storytelling. Married and with a child, the author takes unpaid gigs to get a foot in the door and eventually ends up working on all seasons of The Sopranos, often named the best TV show ever. The show's setting and its creator's insistence on accuracy placed the native New Jersey author in the right place at the right time to become part of television history. Includes many stories about guest stars like Steve Buscemi, Peter Bogdanovich, and Lauren Bacall, as well as the beloved cast, including new tales of James Gandolfini, who Kamine first meets after David Chase casts him as the Dean of Admissions in the classic first season "College" episode. Woven in is a personal story of home life and strife, achievement and frustration, anxiety and accomplishment. The book's epilogue brings listeners up to the moment as the author, after many more years as an anonymous everyman, eventually enjoys outsize professional success as executive producer of the HBO hit series created by Mike White, The White Lotus.Ver libro
JACKIE BROWN THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY QUENTIN TARANTINO CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE ABOUT THE FILM Jackie Brown (1997), directed by Quentin Tarantino, is a crime thriller based on Elmore Leonard's novel Rum Punch. The film follows Jackie Brown, a flight attendant who smuggles money for a gunrunner, Ordell Robbie. After being caught by law enforcement, she devises a plan to double-cross everyone involved in the deal, including Ordell, the police, and a bail bondsman named Max Cherry. The film explores themes of betrayal, survival, and deception, with a strong focus on complex characters and intricate plotting. Set against the backdrop of 1990s Los Angeles, Jackie Brown blends crime, suspense, and Tarantino's signature sharp dialogue. TRIVIA SAMPLES: “Pam Grier had auditioned for a part in Pulp Fiction that eventually went to Rosanna Arquette. Tarantino, however, had not forgotten about her and created the role of Jackie Brown specifically for her.” “Michael Keaton desperately tried to talk Tarantino out of casting him as Ray Nicolette, claiming he was not right for the role. Tarantino found Keaton’s reluctance endearing and ultimately cast him.” “Tarantino compared Jackie Brown to the film Rio Bravo, saying it's a "hangout movie" that gets better with each viewing. He noted that the film rewards multiple viewings by allowing audiences to enjoy the hangout scenes rather than focusing on the plot.” “In the first mall scene, Max Cherry (Robert Forster) is seen exiting a movie theater while the music for the ending credits is playing, which is actually the closing music for the film.”Ver libro
