@mootinator Its hard to draw a line (especially with movies) because in books there's often plenty of hints and details, whereas in movies they often leave entire chapters out. Creating holes that weren't even there in the original story
Is it too early to start thinking about what should our FAQ should contain?
In order to prevent this site from turning into Trivia central we need some borders.
