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.”Voir livre

Seemingly granted ‘classic album’ status within days of its release in 1997, OK Computer transformed Radiohead from a highly promising rock act into The Most Important Band in the World – a label the band has been burdened by (and has fooled around with) ever since. Through close musical analysis of each song, Dai Griffiths explores the themes and ideas that have made this album resonate so deeply with its audience, and argues that OK Computer is one of the most successfully realized CD albums so far created.Voir livre
This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. This novel is a humble tribute to the sublime and heartbreaking love between the Italian painter Amedeo Modigliani and his last muse, Jeanne Hébuterne. It traces the tender arc of their brief yet incandescent love story, beginning in 1917 when they first met, and ending in 1920 with their tragic and untimely deaths. Modigliani, already frail from illness and weighed by poverty and artistic struggle, found in Jeanne not only a muse but a soul mirror—an echo of his pain, passion, and longing. Jeanne, young and gentle, was drawn to the fire and depth of the man whose eyes rarely painted pupils but always saw souls. Their love—fraught with hardships, shadowed by illness, and sealed by death—was not of this world. And yet, it was in death that they were finally reunited: ten years after Jeanne’s suicide, her family allowed her to be buried beside Amedeo, completing the love story they began in life. This story is not only about tragedy. It is about transcendence. It is about love so radiant, so all-consuming, it becomes eternal. To all who have ever loved deeply, and lost deeply—this story is for you.Voir livre
