I read this when I was in Jr. High (on the bus to school IIRC) so the story couldn't be any newer than 1982. Again, IIRC it was in a science fiction short story collection.
It's told from the first-person viewpoint about a group of soldiers fighting alien "snails". These creatures were telepathic...
What's the green toy set besides Yondu's bed, during his farewell ceremony in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2...? From what I can tell, it was placed by Gamora.
This video shows the whole scene.
I remember seeing on tv in the 80’s this movie/tv movie/tv show, don’t know which it was. The scene in question has a boy and a father figure in a boat. The boy sees a tattoo on the man’s arm, asks, “i thought you said we weren’t supposed to get tattoos.” The man replies that he got it in Auschwi...
This story had a modern (late 90s, early 2000s) setting. A boy worked at a zoo/sanctuary for dragons in a world where dragons were a real, exotic animal and not a fantastical creature. He ventures into the woods and finds a dragon's egg which hatches into a tiny baby dragon. He hides this dragon ...
I am trying to remember the name of a science fiction either movie or episode of a show like black mirror. The scenario starts where a group of astronauts is scheduled to blast off from earth and nuclear war starts. They decide to take off anyway and then travel through space. One astronaut re...
In the Star Trek original series episode "The Naked Time", there is a short sequence in which Spock makes his way from the bridge to engineering, encountering a delirious crewman along the way. A few seconds after the encounter (about 29:10), we see that the crewman has written "Love Mankind" on ...
I remember a short story, that may have been self-published on a website or blog, about a person who is driving through a deserted landscape (possibly an actual desert in the American Southwest) and falls asleep at the wheel. When they wake up, the sky has changed--possibly there is no moon, and...
@DavidW I don't know the context here but it depends on what the spoiler in the answer is
For example, if the question is about Iron Man and the answer contains spoilers for Iron Man 2 they should most likely be hidden but the other way around, not so much
I'm specifically thinking of the discworld series, where the character of Death always speaks using small caps. It may come up in other works too.
Posts seeking to accurately quote a passage of Death's dialogue, such as this one, resort to using small-caps Unicode characters, which is frowned upo...
Or maybe just don't try to mimic weird stylistic typesetting that this site isn't the place for anyway? I wonder how this guy would want to ask a question about House of Leaves.
The only thing I remember from the story is that the main character gets ported to a new world but, before he does he is able to choose a skill. He chooses something like Limit Break or something similar.
In this world it seems to happen often and people who port to the world are usually very wea...
I'm looking for a manga about this guy getting isekai'd into a jungle world. He lives there for a couple hundred years and then he goes back, and when he tells people, they don't believe him because there was no such thing as a jungle world; there are four isekai worlds, but only three of them ar...
In Strange Tales #116 (or was it 118?) and then once again in the very next book, we come across Dr. Strange invoking the name of an entity called Mormammu. I initially thought that this was a typo, but then I remembered, Dormammu is usually mentioned as Dread Dormammu and never as Mighty (to the...
I'm trying to find a movie that I watched about a year ago. It was from Redbox, so surely not new at that time, but maybe a 2010-2020 (certainly not older than 2000).
The movie was about a man, I think very wealthy, who had a terminal illness and froze himself cryogenically in hopes that he could...
I read this book in 2014-2015 about this girl that was raised in a rich family, or royal family. She lives in the "new" city above a post apocalyptic city where the criminals and poor live. I think that one of the ways to get into the upper city was to ride a gondola type thing.
She ventures into...
I was going through my old stuff when I stumbled across a big board with FIREFLY on the front. Detailed on it is a full view/ inner workings of the main ship and the planet names. In one of the corner's the words RSA 102/250 are labeled, does anyone know how much this is worth? I can't even find ...
We have a question about the real-world value of a collectible item. It relates to an on-topic work, and questions about memorabilia are at least sometimes on-topic.
It currently appears to be on its way to being closed, and I am one of the close-voters; I just want to check with the community i...
Its a movie from around the early to last 2000s, and basically they enter an elevator and press all the buttons, bringing them to another universe. they enter the room with the key the parents gave them, but it has 2 strangers. the 3rd sibling is still lost in a part that eerily resembles the inf...
Hi I just remembered an anime or manga I read before, but I completely forgot the title. It starts with the MC (a dude) getting kicked out of his family for being too weak, he has like 2 ish brothers. I remember there was one brother who didn't completely hate him and had short brown hair. At ...
Ok, in anticipation of the upcoming release of the Blade Runner RPG, I'm becoming as much of a BR completist as I can (books, comics). As I go through this, I want to create a list of all known Blade Runners. Here's what I have so far, please add any I am missing:
BR (Original Movie): Deckard, Ho...
As above - a rather thin book from the '60s or '70s - possibly from Daw. Yellowish cover with (I think) the main character facing right and shooting a bow. He is (also, I think) a hunchback, and either a demi-god or half god in ancient Egypt, not very well liked but a powerful warrior.
