This is Tignanello. According to the brand’s fancy ass website, ‘Tignanello was the
first Sangiovese to be aged in barriques, the first contemporary red wine blended
with untraditional varieties (specifically Cabernet) and one of the first red wines in
the Chianti Classico region that didn’t use white grapes. Tignanello is a milestone.
It’s produced with a selection of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet
Franc.’
Whose favourite wine is this, so much so that they named their (now defunct)
passion project after it?

A phenomenon covered by outlets like cnn, huffpost etc in 2009-10, was that
audiences felt extremely sad after watching a particular film. On a fan forum site, a
topic thread entitled “Ways to cope with the depression of the dream of _______
being intangible,” received more than 1,000 posts from people experiencing sadness
after watching the film, with other fans trying to help them cope. The topic became so
popular that a second thread was started so people could continue to post their
confused feelings about the fact that what the film depicted was not real, and thus, out
of their reach.
Which film gave people these post-watch blues?

In her 2019 AMAs performance, Taytay chose to call out
Scott Borchetta, and Scooter Braun, who bought her
former record label, Big Machine Records, thus allegedly
owning and controlling her entire catalogue, not letting
her perform etc. Her stylistic choice for the performance
was a plain white shirt with bold black typeface spelling
out the names of the albums she could no longer perform.
This costume had echoes of 'Shut Up and Sing’, a 2006
docu about a band that faced ire because they called out
a very famous man for his actions. Name the band, who
did they call out?

Dixie Chicks, George Bush
“We do not want this war,
this violence, and we’re
ashamed that the
President of the United
States is from Texas.”

Indian film directors have never been shy with stealing (i.e. ‘inspiration’), but
intellectual property copyright is a big deal abroad. Perhaps that was why this
film director was sued for his 2001 ICONIC movie, in which the song X is used.
(ria, hints?) The song was used without permission, and the owners filed a legal
suit and won, and this director had to pay them the fine due.
For his next film in 2003, this director (now a producer) complied with
international copyright laws and obtained permission to rework another iconic
song, and this time could legally retain the title of the original song. This song is
even on the OST of the film.
Name the two movies, and the two songs.

K3G - It’s Raining Men
Kal Ho Na Ho - Pretty Woman

The blue line represents searches for “___ X,” and the red (appropriately so) line represents
searches for “___ Y.”
The shift of ___ from X to Y made it way, way more popular, a phenomenon seen before with
various other shows as well. TV analysts have accorded this uptick to the ease of access,
increased publicity and wider audience base. Realising Y was better, the series creators decided
to make the second season a Y exclusive.
“Thanks to Y, ___, a Show From 2018, Is 2019’s First Hit,” Complex mag reported.
“'___' was ignored on X, then it blew up on Y — what does it mean for TV's future?” asked the
Chicago Tribune.
FITB, give X and Y. (0.5 for blank, 0.5 for X and Y both)

As of 1998, only 23 of nearly 730,000 active trademarks had been issued to protect a noise, and
most of those were for artificial arrangements, such as the roar of the MGM lion and NBC’s
three-note musical chime.
An iconic company tried to trademark ‘their’ sound in 1994, produced by machinery used in their
product, and argued that competitors were trying to copy their sound to boost sales. The
attempt faced opposition from these competitors who argued that the other, similar
machinery they used also had the same sound.
Finally in 2001, the company dropped their petition, saying they were confident that customers
would associate only them with the distinctive sound, made notorious by outlaw gangs in the
1950s. Name the company.

Released in 2002, one particular scene from this film immediately stuck to people’s minds,
and was incorrectly assumed to have involved CGI or some kind of wires etc.
Caught in this web of rumours, the director later revealed in behind-the-scenes
commentary on the DVD release that all the agility and sleight of hand on display was
done by the lead actor himself, and that too, in only 156 takes. All that was used was
practice, and sticky glue.
What scene and film?

“We cut and shaved them and added strong leather straps,” she said. “I want the audience to
almost smell the costumes.”
Although she didn’t reveal exactly which rugs are used on set, guesses ranged from the $15
TEJN to the $30 RENS. The closest match is the dark brown SKOLD, available only from IKEA
Australia for just $79. IKEA later posted a joke infographic showing how, by cutting a hole in the
center of the rug, one could also dress like the characters.
What show? What clothing?
Despite the insane budget of this show, costume designer
Michele Clapton was chindi af, revealing in 2016 that one
of the costume items worn by a group of people is
actually made from affordable, fluffy IKEA rugs.

This trademark, though done in 1994, became a worry in 2018 as a change.org petition was
filed by Zimbabwean activist Shelton Mpala, that 180,000+ people signed, with accusations
of cultural appropriation, saying he respected the company as an entertainment institution
but called it “predicated purely on greed,” and likened it to a colonial legacy. The petition
said companies shouldn’t be able to register trademarks on long-used phrases “they didn’t
invent.”.
The same company had been previously criticized during a 2017 production, as it emerged
that they were applying to trademark the festival name "___ __ ___ _______" for
merchandising purposes. This was later dropped.

_______ __, a service launched by Samsung, is 23 minutes long and
recommends that you sleep right after for the best effect, and was developed
in conjunction with famous hypnotist and mental coach Fredrik Praesto.

_______ ________ __ ___ ________ ____!

Labour and rest, that equal periods keep;
"Obedient slumbers that can wake and weep;"
Desires compos'd, affections ever ev'n,
Tears that delight, and sighs that waft to Heav'n.
Grace shines around her with serenest beams,
And whisp'ring angels prompt her golden dreams.
For her th' unfading rose of Eden blooms,
And wings of seraphs shed divine perfumes,
For her the Spouse prepares the bridal ring,
For her white virgins hymeneals sing,
To sounds of heav'nly harps she dies away,
And melts in visions of eternal day.

If you are cool enough to watch Sharknado 3, you will spot a familiar face in a
cameo. In the cameo, this person is watching a film called Shark Wedding -
until a live shark bursts through the screen and starts chowing on him. His
blood splatters across the woman next to him - who happens to be wearing a
wedding dress. A second shark then shoots out of the screen, ripping off his
head.

The National Costume of 2019 Mr Global Pageant caused quite a
commotion online. The round highlights the candidates in their
national attire and gives them a chance to show off their rich culture.
Mr USA in particular caught the eyes of netizens. His attire, as was
pointed out, was wrong in several cases. The major criticisms were
that the creation he tried emulating was technically an immigrant
and not even American, as well as the fact that it was first made by a
Canadian person.
What was Mr USA’s attire?

has now become their staple. On January 22, 1980, attending a wedding
of two other stars from the same industry, this celebrity made a
'sensational entry', with this culturally-inappropriate adornment.

__________ _________ is a 1996 album by Marilyn Manson. The album derives its
name from a change made to a 1970 Rock Opera play by Andrew Lloyd Webber.
The core storyline of the album deals with a dark supernatural entity as a political
agitator who, driven by misanthropy and hopelessness, seeks power over humanity and
thus inevitably orchestrates the apocalypse.
The front cover of the album depicts the ‘worm’: wrung out insect-like wings, one
bloodshot eye staring upward. The back features the titular__________: a seemingly
possessed figure with a symbol that connotes both emergency iconography and the
swastika.
ID the name of the album.

alerts have gone out about any of them for a whole hour.

characteristic in his movies but X ignored him .
However, when his films like Jaag Utha Insaan and Bhagwan Dada didn't do well at the
box office, he finally revisited the fan’s letter and started following the advice.
X later said, “All these films I made comfortably, without any problems. Plus most of
these films worked for me. Even though King Uncle didn’t fare as well as expected, I
enjoyed making it. Considering that most of these films worked, I thought, why not stick
to this advice.”
