JAWS 
THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
  
FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY STEVEN SPIELBERG 
  
CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
  
ABOUT THE FILM 
Jaws (1975), directed by Steven Spielberg, is a suspenseful thriller set in the fictional seaside town of Amity Island. When a great white shark begins attacking swimmers, police chief Martin Brody, marine biologist Matt Hooper, and professional shark hunter Quint band together to capture and kill the beast. The film skillfully blends tension, horror, and adventure, focusing on the fear and chaos the shark instills in the community. Spielberg masterfully builds suspense by often keeping the shark hidden, using ominous music and minimal visuals. Jaws explores themes of fear, survival, and the unpredictable dangers lurking beneath the surface. 
  
TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
  
“For the drowning woman’s sound in post-production, Susan Backlinie stood with her head tilted back in front of a microphone. Water was poured from above into her throat to create the effect.” 
  
“Jaws (1975) opened on only 490 screens, but within seventy-eight days, it became the highest-grossing film of all time. At that time, it was still showing in fewer than 1,000 screens.” 
  
“Richard Dreyfuss initially passed on the role of Hooper, saying that while he would love to watch the film, he didn’t want to make it.”

A rich, penetrating memoir about the author's relationship with a flawed but influential figure—the painter Lucian Freud—and the satisfactions and struggles of a life lived through art. 
 
 
 
One of Britain's most important contemporary painters, Celia Paul has written a reflective, intimate memoir of her life as an artist. Self-Portrait tells the artist's story in her own words, drawn from early journal entries as well as memory, of her childhood in India and her days as a art student at London's Slade School of Fine Art; of her intense decades-long relationship with the older esteemed painter Lucian Freud and the birth of their son; of the challenges of motherhood, the unresolvable conflict between caring for a child and remaining committed to art; of the "invisible skeins between people," the profound familial connections Paul communicates through her paintings of her mother and sisters; and finally, of the mystical presence in her own solitary vision of the world around her. 
 
 
 
Self-Portrait is a powerful, liberating evocation of a life and of a life-long dedication to art. 
 
 
 
Contains mature themes.

Asian Deities and Demons - Myths...

Mythology has always been a reflection of human culture, shaping beliefs, traditions, and the way people understand the world. Across Asia, an incredibly diverse range of myths and legends has developed over thousands of years, creating a rich spiritual tapestry that continues to influence daily life. These myths tell stories of powerful deities who govern the heavens, fearsome demons that bring destruction, and legendary heroes whose deeds inspire generations. Whether found in Hindu, Buddhist, Shinto, or Taoist traditions, these stories reveal deep cultural values and offer insights into the forces that ancient civilizations believed controlled their destinies.  
  
Deities and demons in Asian mythology are not merely figures of worship or fear; they serve as representations of human emotions, natural phenomena, and moral lessons. Many gods and spirits embody forces of nature—thunder, wind, fire, and water—while others symbolize virtues such as wisdom, courage, and compassion. Some deities are benevolent protectors, while others test humanity through trials and temptations. Meanwhile, demons and malevolent spirits serve as cautionary figures, reminding people of the consequences of greed, arrogance, or disobedience to the divine order. These myths have been passed down through oral tradition, sacred texts, and artistic expressions, evolving over time yet retaining their core significance.
