    Landis - The Story of a Real Man...

    At the dawn of the 1980s, there was one serious name in horror and exploitation film criticism: Bill Landis. While other magazines were concerned with behind-the-scenes information, tributes, and SFX tutorials, Landis' Sleazoid Express was one part film journal and one part anthropological study, seriously critiquing the grindhouse movies that played the theaters of 42nd Street while also documenting the dying subculture that had grown up around them. 
    Profiled in Rolling Stone for his pioneering work, Landis' over-the-top "Mr. Sleazoid" persona and double-life as an adult film star masked the pain behind a child genius whose intellect alienated him from his peers; a consummate outcast who only felt at home among other outcasts. 
    After settling into life as a husband, father, and author in the 90s, it seemed that Landis had turned a corner-but the ghosts of Times Square were never far behind him. Dead at the age of 49 on the eve of what should have been a successful comeback, his legacy has nominally been forgotten. Award-winning author and journalist Preston Fassel pieces together the full story of his life for the first time, from his turbulent childhood, to his meteoric rise in the New York vice scene, to his tragic demise on the streets of Chicago. 
    Featuring exclusive interviews with Kurt Loder (MTV; Rolling Stone), Michael J. Weldon (Psychotronic Video), Art Ettinger (Ultra Violent Magazine), Carl Abrahamsson, Mike McPadden (Heavy Metal Movies; Teen Movie Hell), and others, plus excerpts from Landis' unpublished autobiographical novella Last Exit in Manattan and a reprint of Landis' seminal Fangoria interview with Andy Milligan, Landis at last pulls back the curtain on one of genre writing's most influential-yet unknown-figures. In that lost, damned, golden age called the 80s, there was a movie star named Bobby Spector, and a writer named Mr. Sleazoid. Most importantly, there was a man named Bill Landis. This is his story.

    Is there any music more instantly recognisable and beautifully scored than Tchaikovsky’s wildly popular ballet Swan Lake? These and other works have become enduring classics, yet they were not uncontroversial in Tchaikovsky’s day, and there are those that still wonder if his style is fundamentally European or ardently Russian. Find out more about Tchaikovsky’s childhood obsession with music, his turbulent relationships with friends and colleagues, and how he overcame the deepest of personal crises to transcend all with a creative ambition that has left us with some of the greatest music ever written. The narrative is illustrated with musical excerpts from Piano Concerto No. 1, Symphonies Nos. 4 and 6, the 1812 Overture, The Nutcracker, Swan Lake and The Sleeping Beauty, among others.

    E.T. THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL 
    THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
      
    FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY STEVEN SPIELBERG 
      
    CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
      
    ABOUT THE FILM 
    E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial is a heartwarming science fiction film directed by Steven Spielberg. It follows Elliott, a young boy who befriends an alien, E.T., stranded on Earth. As Elliott and his siblings hide E.T. from their mother and government agents, the bond between them grows stronger. The film explores themes of friendship, empathy, and the innocence of childhood. Spielberg emphasizes emotional connections and the sense of wonder through the eyes of children, creating a powerful narrative about understanding, compassion, and the desire to help others, regardless of their origins. The movie balances adventure with deep emotional moments. 
      
    TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
      
    “A 2'10" tall stuntman performed most of the full-body puppetry for E.T. However, the kitchen scenes were filmed using a 12-year-old boy who was born without legs but was an expert at walking on his hands.” 
      
    “To help audiences connect more deeply with the child protagonist, Steven Spielberg shot much of the film from a child's eye level, aligning the camera perspective with that of Elliott and E.T.” 
      
    “The Halloween scene where E.T. sees a child in a Yoda costume suggests that they come from the same galaxy. Interestingly, the Star Wars universe also references E.T. when E.T.'s species appears in the Senate scene of Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace.”
