In the universe of the novel, the Earth is divided between three political blocs, the Western, sort of a USA led deal, the People's block, who's major resource is just having lots of people, and ...

Q: Horror movie involving a mirror and someone cutting themselves with scissors

Because of the writers’ and actors’ strikes nearly all of the celebrities were not permitted to discuss past, present, or future works. This made for some ridiculous and in some ways pointless panels. At the ... Read more

Q: I'm looking for a short story about a sculptor who creates a hand and is strangled by it
