  DANCES WITH WOLVES 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY KEVIN COSTNER 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  "Dances with Wolves" is an epic Western film directed by and starring Kevin Costner. Set during the American Civil War, it follows Lieutenant John Dunbar, who, after a heroic act on the battlefield, is sent to a remote military outpost in the western frontier. There, he encounters the Lakota Sioux tribe and begins to form an unexpected bond with them. The film explores themes of cultural conflict, survival, and the impact of colonialism. Through Dunbar's evolving relationships with the Sioux and his growing respect for their way of life, the story delves into issues of identity, honor, and unity. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “Because of the film's overwhelming success and its respectful portrayal of Native Americans, the Sioux Nation honored Kevin Costner by adopting him as an honorary member.” 
    
  “In a memorable scene where the buffalo charges at Smiles a Lot, it is actually charging toward a pile of Oreo cookies, which were the buffalo's favorite treat.” 
    
  “Kevin Costner performed all of his own horseback riding, including riding bareback and shooting his gun without holding the reins, during the buffalo hunt.” 
    
  “Kevin Costner's daughter, Annie Costner, portrayed a young Stands With a Fist in the flashback dream sequence. In one scene, she runs from the Pawnee party that killed her family, looking back over each shoulder. She struggled to distinguish between her right and left sides, as she was only six years old at the time.”

  The Game

  ‘The game isn’t what it seems from the outside. The game isn’t quite what I was expecting. The game doesn’t always work like the people on television think it does. The game is better, worse and stranger than you can imagine, and that is coming from someone who saw it all with their own eyes.’ 
  Ever wondered what really goes on inside a Premier League dressing room, what it’s like to train under Roy Hodgson, Roberto Mancini and Fabio Capello – and what happens when you kick a sandwich at one of them? 
  When it comes to football, former Manchester City and England star Micah Richards has seen it all – and laughed about most of it. In The Game, Micah shares his funniest and frankest stories from on and off the pitch, be it arriving at his first England training session with two left boots, attempting to supervise the infamous Mario Balotelli or winding up Roy Keane on Super Sunday. From how he spent his first Premier League paycheque and how he prepared – financially and mentally – for the day they stopped coming, to the euphoria of lifting the Premier League trophy and the physical and emotional impact of injury, Micah reflects openly on the many wins and losses in professional football. 
  Full of Micah’s signature cheeky wit, this intimate, unmissable memoir goes behind the scenes of the beautiful game and a remarkable life and career. 
  In this riveting autobiography, Micah Richards delves into the personal growth he experienced in the world of soccer, a sport that is as much a performing art as it is a recreation. His journey to success, filled with both wins and losses, is a testament to his resilience and determination. 
  For fans of Peter Crouch (How to Be an Ex-Footballer), Ian Wright (A Life in Football), Guillem Balagué (Maradona), Gary Neville (The People's Game), and Mark Noble (Boleyn Boy).

  "Go for the Jaws, stay for the Shaws." —Nat Segaloff, author of The Exorcist Legacy 
   
   
   
  Robert Shaw unforgettably commanded attention as the weathered seaman Captain Quint in the blockbuster sensation, Jaws. But what came before and after that landmark film is as dramatic as the hunt for the great white shark itself. 
   
   
   
  Capturing the many facets of the vibrant, generous, and sometimes polarizing man is his nephew, Christopher, who explores the forces that shaped a dynamic personality—including Robert's indomitable mother, his deeply troubled father, and his activist sister, Joanna, with whom Robert shared an unbreakable bond. Out of the traumatic events of their childhood in the Orkney Islands and Cornwall, Mrs. Shaw pushed her children to pursue their dreams. For Robert, that dream was acting and writing. 
   
   
   
  Despite a storied career on the British and American stage—as both performer and playwright—and a string of hit films including From Russia with Love, A Man for All Seasons, The Sting, and The Taking of Pelham One Two Three, international celebrity eluded Robert . . . until he was summoned to star in "a little horror film" called Jaws.

  One Step BeyondVolume One

  Created by Merwin Gerard and produced by Collier Young, One Step Beyond was hosted by John Newland, "your guide to the supernatural" (also credited as "Our guide into the world of the unknown"). Newland, who also directed every episode, presented tales that explored paranormal events and various situations that defied "logical" explanation. Unlike other anthology programs, the ABC network series episodes were presented in the form of straightforward 30-minute docudramas, all said to be based on "human record" (implying historically factual events); however, the incidents depicted were closer to popular urban legends dramatized for the screen. The program included the corporate name of sponsor Alcoa in its title for its initial run. In syndication, the program title became simply One Step Beyond.   This volume includes Four tales of the supernatural from worlds beyond our own. Included are: Episode One: The Bride Posessed - A bride begins to predict features of an area she's never seen.  Audio from the television broadcast of January 20th, 1959; Episode Two: Night of April 14th - A girl dreams of drowning in the ocean, then learns her fiance plans a honeymoon for them -- aboard the Titanic.  Audio from the television broadcast of January 27th, 1959; Episode Three: Emergency Only - Coming out of a hypnotic trance, Ellen Larrabee predicts a dangerous train trip for a skeptical witness.  Audio from the television broadcast of February 3rd, 1959; and Episode Four: The Dark Room - A Woman photographer is almost strangled by a man she doesn't know.  Audio from the television broadcast of February 10th, 1959.

  Apocalypse Television - How The...

  David Craig, Robert Iger

  On November 20, 1983, a three-hour made-for-TV movie, The Day After, premiered on ABC. Set in the heartland of Lawrence, Kansas, the film depicted the events before, during, and after a Soviet nuclear attack with vivid scenes of the post-apocalyptic hellscape that would follow. The film was viewed by over 100 million Americans and remains the highest rated TV movie in history. 
   
   
   
  The path to primetime for The Day After proved nearly as treacherous as the film's narrative. Battles ensued behind the scenes at the network, between the network and the filmmakers. But these skirmishes pale in comparison to the culture wars triggered by the film in the press, alongside a growing Nuclear Freeze movement, and from a united, pro-nuclear Right. Once efforts to alter the script failed, the White House conducted a full-throttled propaganda campaign to hijack the film's message. 
   
   
   
  Apocalypse Television features a dramatic insider's account of the making of and backlash against The Day After. No other book has told this story in similar fashion, venturing behind-the-scenes of the programming and news divisions at ABC, the backlash from the conservative movement and Religious Right, the challenges encountered by the film's production team, and the experiences of the citizens of Lawrence, Kansas, where the film was set and shot.
