    TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
      
    “Spike Jonze, stuck in the editing process with an early 150-minute cut, asked Steven Soderbergh to edit it down. Soderbergh returned within 24 hours with a 90-minute cut, which helped Jonze finalize the film’s 126-minute runtime.” 
      
    “Director Spike Jonze loved his role as Alien Child so much that he would often give notes to his editor and producer while staying in character.” 
      
    “This is the only film written and directed by Spike Jonze, entirely based on his original script.” 
      
    “Charlie Kaufman contributed some uncredited screenwriting to the film.” 
      
    “The airplane sculpture featured in a square outside the Pacific Design Center was entirely created using CGI. There is no such sculpture at the actual location in West Hollywood.”
