LADY BIRD THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY GRETA GERWIG CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE ABOUT THE FILM Lady Bird is a coming-of-age drama directed by Greta Gerwig, set in Sacramento, California, during the early 2000s. The film follows Christine "Lady Bird" McPherson, a high school senior with dreams of leaving her small town and attending a prestigious college on the East Coast. Throughout the story, Lady Bird navigates her strained relationship with her mother, Marion, her evolving friendships, and her romantic relationships. The film explores themes of identity, family, ambition, and the challenges of growing up. It captures the universal struggle of adolescence, blending humor and emotional depth in its portrayal of self-discovery. TRIVIA SAMPLES: “Saoirse Ronan had some stage experience prior to filming Lady Bird, and the hot stage lights caused some acne. Instead of covering it up, Ronan and makeup artist Jacqueline Knowlton convinced Greta Gerwig to leave it visible to differentiate the film from other coming-of-age dramas featuring teenagers with perfect skin.” “Saoirse Ronan once mentioned that the most challenging word for her to pronounce with an American accent was "perfect."” “Greta Gerwig has revealed that she was the complete opposite of her character "Lady Bird" during her youth, being more strait-laced and less rebellious.” “Greta Gerwig shared that the first draft of the Lady Bird script was 350 pages long, which would have made the film nearly 6 hours long.”Show book
The untold story of a British institution ‘Brilliant.’ Alan Johnson ‘Compelling.’ David Kynaston ‘The beer drinkers’ Bill Bryson.’ Times Literary Supplement Ferment Magazine’s Best Beer Book of the Year Pete Brown is a convivial guide on this journey through the intoxicating history of the working men’s clubs. From the movement’s founding by teetotaller social reformer the Reverend Henry Solly to the booze-soaked mid-century heyday, when more than 7 million Brits were members, this warm-hearted and entertaining book reveals how and why the clubs became the cornerstone of Britain’s social life – offering much more than cheap Federation Bitter and chicken in a basket. Often dismissed as relics of a bygone age – bastions of bigotry and racism – Brown reminds us that long before the days of Phoenix Nights, 3,000-seat venues routinely played host to stars like Shirley Bassey, Louis Armstrong, and the Bee Gees, offering entertainment for all the family, and close to home at that. Britain’s best-known comedians made reputations through a thick miasma of smoke, from Sunniside to Skegness. For a young man growing up in the pit town of Barnsley this was a radiant wonderland that transformed those who entered. Brown explores the clubs’ role in defining masculinity, community and class identity for generations of men in Britain’s industrial towns. They were, at their best, a vehicle for social mobility and self-improvement, run as cooperatives for working people by working people: an informal, community-owned pre-cursor to the Welfare State. As the movement approaches its 160th anniversary, this exuberant book brings to life the thrills and the spills of a cultural phenomenon that might still be rescued from irrelevance. Pete Brown's Clubland is a cultural exploration of the British institution, weaving humour and criticism into the narrative. The book delves into the popular topic of beverages, specifically alcoholic ones, and their role in shaping regional and ethnic identities. For fans of Adrian Tierney-Jones (London Local Pubs), Albert Jack (The Old Dog and Duck), David Kynaston (A Northern Wind), Marc Morris (Castles), and Christopher Mcdougall (Born to Run).

'Riveting' Kirk DouglasFrom his first Oscar, Marlon Brando built an impenetrable fortress around his private life: unauthorised releases—or snapshots of him, even by friends—were forbidden.

Based on deeply personal stories from the death of their sons to Jackie Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe, he draws Brando's life as only they knew it. A young actor emerges who was beautiful in every way; driven by his instinctive talent to break new ground, athletic, muscular, seductive, intelligent and generous. And, from early on, seeds of self-destruction began to grow.Show book

Dazzling and intimate in equal measure, Me and Mr. Jones provides not only a unique perspective into one of the most beguiling stars in the history of pop music but also of a world on the cusp of cultural transformation.Show book
F. Scott Fitzgerald once said: »Show me a hero, and I'll write you a tragedy.« In the 1990s, nobody fell deeper than O.J. Simpson. Once considered a national treasure, the athlete was accused of brutally slaying his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ronald Goldman on June 12, 1994. Within days, the media and public developed an unprecedented obsession with the story, turning a murder investigation and trial into a sensationalized reality show. Tatjana Neubauer examines the mediatization, deliberate manipulation, and the simplification of popular criminal trials for profit on television. She demonstrates that TV conflated legal proceedings into entertainment programming by commodifying events, people, and places.Show book
