  5000 GIGS.  
  400+ FILM AND TV PLACEMENTS.  
  45 YEARS IN MUSIC. 
  These are some of the bullet points in the resume of author/musician Bill Cinque. THE AMAZING ADVENTURES OF A MARGINALLY SUCCESSFUL MUSICIAN is an educational and entertaining look at the world of music. 
    
  Honest, insightful and often humorously brutal, Cinque speaks to the beginner, the seasoned pro and the non-musician “civilian” in a unique and refreshing voice about the rehearsals, recordings and rejections in the life of a self-described “blue collar, working class musician.” 
    
  "I live on a strict diet of pizza and Rockford Files reruns. For the sake of time and energy, I’ll answer all the other pertinent questions that anyone might have in short order. Briefs, not boxers. Mary Ann, not Ginger. Yankees, not Mets. Giants, not Jets. Tea, not coffee."

  An illuminating, insider's journey through the world of Little House on the Prairie and beyond, from Dean Butler, who starred as Almanzo Wilder on the iconic show still beloved by millions of fans as it reaches its fiftieth anniversary. 
   
   
   
  Cast just before his twenty-third birthday, Dean Butler joined Little House on the Prairie halfway through its run, gaining instant celebrity and fans' enduring affection. Now, with wit and candor, Butler recounts his passage through the Prairie, sharing stories and anecdotes of the remarkable cast who were his on-screen family. But that was merely the beginning of a diverse career that includes Broadway runs and roles on two other classic shows—Moondoggie in The New Gidget and Buffy's ne'er-do-well father, Hank, in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Coming of age during a golden era of entertainment, Butler has evolved along with it, and today enjoys success and fulfillment as a director and producer—notably of NBC Golf's Feherty—while remaining deeply loyal to Little House. 
   
   
   
  The warmth, heart, and decency that fans of Laura and Almanzo fell in love with on Little House echo through this uplifting memoir, a story, in Butler's words, about "good luck, good television, and the very good—if gloriously imperfect—people who made it so."

  I'm Not Your Muse - Uncovering...

  An illuminating exploration of 31 incredible women—across art, architecture, dance, literature, and more—whose culture-defining contributions have, until now, been overshadowed by their role as "muses" to history's better-known men.  What does it mean to be someone's "muse"? Historically, to be called a “muse” among artistic circles has been marketed as a flattering title. It is a commendation that most often refers to a woman whose vivacity and beauty are the source of inspiration for a (usually) male artist or creator. Perhaps her inspiring presence is even credited in the story of his success. But the very concept of a muse underestimates these women and their abilities. At its root, muse is a support role, the title a consolation prize that claims to recognize a woman’s greatness—but only in her support of another.I'm Not Your Muse reclaims the narrative of 31 of these extraordinary women, from "The Mother of the Movies" Alice Guy-Blaché to Modernist designer Eileen Gray, prima ballerina Maria Tallchief, storied Harlem Renaissance editor Jessie Redmon Fauset, and many more. Each of these women advanced the narrative of culture and society, pushing the boundaries of visual arts, dance and movement, commercial architecture, music, journalism, and the performing arts. Whether by historical accident or cruel design, their contributions have historically been overshadowed by those of their male counterparts, and often collaborators. In this briskly written, incisively researched compendium, author and researcher Lori Zimmer repositions these women as the main characters of their own lives. Each profile is accented with original illustrations—including jaunty portraits in playfully constructed frames—by artist Maria Krasinski. Together, they highlight the contemporary accomplishments and historical legacies of a wide-ranging group of revolutionary women. Featured women include:  Louise Blanchard Bethune  Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore  Minnette de Silva  Clara Driscoll  Jessie Redmon Fauset  Loie Fuller  Martha Gellhorn    Eileen Gray  Belle da Costa Greene  Alice Guy-Blaché  Miss La La  Edmonia Lewis  Neysa McMein  Hildreth Meière  Lucia Moholy  May and Jane Morris    Na Hye-Sŏk  Fernande Olivier  Pan Yuliang    Ethel Reed    Clara Rockmore    Ada Bricktop Smith  Maria Tallchief  Alice B. Toklas  Suzanne Valadon    Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven  Leonora Carrington  Remedios Varo  Kati Horna

  PARASITE 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY BONG JOON HO 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  Parasite is a South Korean dark comedy thriller directed by Bong Joon Ho. The film follows the Kim family, struggling in poverty, as they scheme to infiltrate the wealthy Park family by posing as unrelated, highly qualified individuals. As the Kims secure jobs in the Park household, the story explores themes of class disparity, deception, and survival. Through its mix of humor and social commentary, Parasite critiques the division between the rich and the poor, using sharp satire and suspense to reflect on the complexities of human ambition and societal inequalities. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “The house of the Parks, which is credited to a fictional architect named Namgoong Hyeonja in the film, was actually a fully constructed set.” 
    
  “Ki-woo's role as a tutor was chosen by director Bong Joon Ho to demonstrate the only plausible way that individuals from two vastly different social classes could meet and interact in the context of the story.” 
    
  “Bong Joon Ho created numerous sketches for the design of the wealthy family’s house. When the production designer shared the designs with an actual architect, the architect remarked that no one would build a house in such a ridiculous manner.” 
    
  “Parasite won the Palme d'Or at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival, making history as the first Korean film to earn the prestigious award.”
