I think it was in the future, political, scifi, sort of had a 1984 vibe maybe? All I remember about the story was there was this guy that was a professional character assassin. They had it to a science on how to destroy someone's character, respect, etc. but I can't remember any more of it.

Erik has a sense for "evil", which takes the form of headaches that grow worse when he nears unpleasant or bad people. While he gets a strong reading off of people who've made other people suffer, he also gets headaches from people who've carried out actions that haven't yet caused any harm, but ...

In the movie Tolkien, after
Tolkien is shouting drunkenly at the stars in the college quad, in one his constructed languages. Soon after, Professor Wright says to him that he recognised some Finnish in there. I guess the language was Qenya. Is this correct? And what was Tolkien saying?

Most of the spells learned in Hogwarts are a simple flow of:
Choose your spell
Point your wand
Say the words
Magic happens
But there are other spells that specify the need to do more than that.
For Expecto Patronus, one must think about a happy memory, and even if that might sound an easy t...

I saw this question about Tolkien, a biographical movie about J.R.R. Tolkien. While I haven't seen the film, apparently it's not fantastical or anything. However, the question is open with no close votes or comments about its on-topic-ness.
Should biopics on science fiction/fantasy authors be on...
I'm trying to identify a movie I saw once in the early 2000s. I remember it was on DVD with an animated menu, but I don't know how old the actual movie was, since it was rented from Blockbuster. I do remember it was one of the first movies I saw involving a time machine.
Details I remember:

I read the book a long time ago as a child. If I remember correctly, it was about two kids who found a cave along the shore with dinosaur footprints, and when they followed the footprints into the cave, they would emerge in the era of the dinosaurs. They also met a friendly dinosaur who liked to ...

In 4th or 5th grade in America in 2014 or 2015, the teacher showed us a video from a DVD of robots moving (sort of dancing, too) in sync with instrumental electronic music. It was probably from the mid-2000s to 2015, and was part of a series. I think the logo had some sort of 3D thing with it, an...

Last week we completed the first 100 days since the HNQ changes went into effect. While we've made some other changes since then (e.g. minimum question age of eight hours), I figured that now is a good time to look at the numbers and see how this change has impacted the network. I'd like to look ...
This might be the 1987 short "The Price of Life" which I found referenced on the Wikipedia page for "In Time" (2011).
I have never heard of this, so I'm just going to quote the Wikipedia summary:
The basic premise of the film is that a time account is physically linked to every infant at bir...45
I'm looking for the name of a short black and white movie in which people were given an allotted amount of time at birth, and used that time to buy things. For example, a can of beans in the store would be priced something like 23 minutes, and that amount would be deducted from one's remaining ti...
