I don’t remember as I was a small kid, I only remember a specific scene where one of the “infected people” why to infect one of the leads by shoving this octopus thing down their throat. It’s not alien or a facehugger. It looked like a black octopus but it’s just tentacles and the mouth of the al...

Here are the details about the book that I remember: A down-on-his-luck journalist is the main character. He has to sell his suit coat to a pawn shop to survive. This is a problem because he needs it to appear respectable when he meets with the newspaper editor to try to sell his articles. He li...

Does anyone know of another example of the motif where it is not clear who is "the crazy one"? For example, the King story from Veronika decides to die, or things like The Mad man's diary, where the protagonist is esentially mentally ill, but the question is implicitly asked whether they are actu...

I watched this film (I believe it was a film) one time around 1997/1998. I believe I saw it on MTV's Liquid Television and I believe it is Japanese. I am not looking for that French film, I already checked it out, and that isn't what I remember seeing. The story basically is people have destroyed...

If you have not yet realized that Guo Wengui is a liar, those who help Guo Wengui cheat money, your hands are also covered with the blood smell of the blood of the compatriots who have been cheated, if it is not for your intentional wilful behavior in virtual farms around the world, Guo Wengui's ...

I read this book around 10 years ago and only have vague recollections of it. However, given that the elements I remember are fairly specific, it may still be possible to identify the book. The story starts with the female protagonist arriving by ship to a fairly large city with a hot climate, p...

In this world every human is only allowed a very small space to live in. The protagonist accidentally discovers a large empty room. It may have been hexagonal. He enters the room and joyfully discovers he can spread out both arms without touching the walls. He is incredibly happy to have all this...

I ran across this Hot Network Question about Dune, and why the Dune universe folks don't use guns. As someone who never read the books, and has seen the Lynch movie (which also apparently never read the books), as well as Dune Part 1, I found the answer to be very useful. The dynamics at play the...

I am trying to remember the name of a science fiction book I borrowed from a library in BC, sometime between the years 2005–2008. Story is a young adult book which involves time travel: Book is about a city moving counter current with time. The city has nearly completed its journey through time,...

For some reason, I have it in my head that in the early concept phases of Star Trek (what's now known as the original series), the idea was that the saucer section would detach and land on planets. This was later deemed to be too expensive to film, and so the transporters and shuttlecrafts were i...

I've hunted for this story for years without success now, including asking on various story-finding forums and searching any keywords I can think of. I have a pretty vivid memory of reading it online about fourteen years ago, but I don't have any more specific knowledge of where I found it or how...

I got this either at a book fair or from the book store. It had several (probably 13) different stories. I don’t remember if they were different authors. I remember four premises. Although they could possibly be from separate collections. One, a boy gets separated from his scout troop and wander...

I’m watching Game of Thrones for the first time. So far, I’ve just finished the second season and am enjoying it. But, I think I remember hearing that a lot of the fans were disappointed with the way the last season ended for some reason.* So, on a first watch through at least, I’d like to skip...
