This is a 70s or possibly early 80s sci-fi movie (but set in contemporary time), most likely a made-for-TV movie, definitely American, where a man has something happen to him, possibly an accident of some sort, that makes him smarter and gives him access to everything he has ever seen or heard.

Note: I've read the French version of the books: maybe I'm not using the geniune terminology/names here
I recently re-read Hyperion by Dan Simmons, and I noticed all pilgrims suddenly know Father Hoyt bears two cruciforms, while I though this was a secret shared by only the Consul and Hoyt him...
So, we know that Myrtle was killed by Salazar's Basilisk...
“How?” said Harry.
“No idea,” said Myrtle in hushed tones. “I just remember seeing a pair of great, big, yellow eyes. My whole body sort of seized up, and then I was floating away.
…”
...but wouldn't it have been extremely ...
I went to High School from 2005 until 2010, and there was this one particular book-which may have been a part of a series.
It featured a red haired young woman who doesn't get her period until she's 20 because she is halg human and half (insert race here). This species has golden skin, black eyes...
I think I saw this film around 10 years ago, not entirely sure of the time, but I believe it was a DVD so was probably a bit older anyway.
It starts off with a bunch of work colleagues on a bus heading to a work retreat, they get to the edge of a forest and there's a tree blocking there path but...
I remember in The Chamber of Secrets during the flashback scene that while Dumbledore distrusted Riddle, there didn't seem to be any indication that he knew that Tom was the one unleashing the basilisk. That said, we also know Dumbledore is a great chess master and may not have had a reason to sh...
In the pilot of Star Trek Voyager, at point 14:50 to be exact, we see young Ensign Kim report to the captain on the bridge and then directly assume his station (panel behind the captain's chair), without any authentication whatsoever. As seen numerous times before, officers authenticate themselve...
In the second episode of Star Trek Voyager, Tom Paris tells Cpt. Janeway that he is the best pilot she has. Was there any merit in this statement or was his ego writing cheques his body couldn't cash?
In other words, is there any proof whatsoever that Tom Paris was one of the best pilots in Star...
Dystopian futures seem to be a catalog, a list of what's wrong or what went wrong. They never deal with one problem specifically, in great detail, and with frank, explicit writing. At least none that I could find. What I am saying is this: Where are the novels with teeth? Lolita, Diary of a Madma...
In S04E09 of Doctor Who, Forest of the Dead, the Doctor Moon, the antimalware guardian of the computer running The Library, saves 4,022 of its visitors from the Vashta Nerada by teleporting them out and saving them into its hard drive, where they lived virtual lives, albeit drastically condense...
What happens if Wonder Woman didn't deflect a bullet with her bracelets and if it hit her in her head or non-armoured part of her body, would the bullet penetrate her body?
Heavy spoilers for those who didn't see the last episode of Season 10
During this episode
We can see that in the end of the episode, but also in the middle.
But at then end of the episode
But moreover we learn afterwards that
The realisation makes me thing that
But this might be the...
Does Grima have a surname? Wormtongue was a nickname/epitaph and not his actually name - but did he have a genuine one?
I remember reading a book where the Author described an aliens point of view of how absurd it was that people transported themselves around in metal boxes that were much bigger than what they needed. The description may also have referred to traffic queues.
I though that it might have been from...
I just saw Fantastic Beasts and was was not expecting to see
I would be surprised that such a prominent actor would have a few minutes on screen as such an important character in the HP universe. Have there been any official announced plans to pursue movies that feature this character more pro...
Considering Hagrid and Argog were officially blamed for the incident, it would seem likely that is the story Myrtle's parents were told.
Something like: "Your daughter was killed by an Acromantula that another student had brought into school. The student has been expelled."
Short and "factual...
Any classic Whovian will know that the Master is never dead, just renegotiating his contract with life. I just want to know how the writers justified his return as the Mistress in season 8. What in-universe reason is there behind the Master's return?
The flick was set in the future and everyone lived in a walled sealed city. They had to go through decontamination and evaluation upon return from outside the city. The team lead convinced the doctors to allow their "brute" to be allowed when it was determined that he was experiencing high leve...
From a group on Facebook, thought I'd try and help out as it sounds like a good read.
I need help finding a novel I once read
when I was a kid. It was about this detective that was a cyborg. The
novel had a heavy ghost in the shell vibe. I don't remember much but
there was a case with...
I am trying to locate a short story about a new radar being tested by the US Navy during WWII. The captain of the test vessel encounters a Japanese fleet heading to the west coast and using the new radar was able to defeat the convoy. I remember at the end the president, unprepared for the inva...
I flagged an answer today.
The key factors were:
It was posted almost four years after the question was posted and received an accepted answer.
It was just one line which merely rephrased what the accepted answer had established about four years ago.
At worst, this is plagiarism. At best, ...
Is there any information on when V's generation Slytherins began their activities as Death Eaters and when Riddle started to be feared as Voldemort to the point where even pronouncing his name was feared?
Pretty much, when did the 'Dark times' begin? Looking for valid sources.
I read a science fiction soft-cover book in 5th grade in 1979 or so that I was trying to track down. I have very little recollection of the story, but that it was "hard" sci-fi, and probably involved some sort of space warfare. I don't recall if humans were fighting other humans, or if they wer...
At the end of Turn Left, when the Doctor finds out about Bad Wolf, he runs back to the Tardis. The interior has turned completely red.
I know the out-of-universe reason is mood lighting for the dramatic finale ups the ante. But has there ever been a convincing i...
Why did Newt Scamander carry a suitcase full of beasts with him when he knew that they are prone to escaping? Also he lied at immigration saying that he brought nothing and he put New York City in danger. I cannot imagine how irresponsible this character is.
Several times in the latest season of Doctor Who the character Nardol has stated that he isn't human. Is there any information on what species he is?
I seem to remember that he might be some sort of cyborg but I am not entirely sure.
Scott McCloud's The Sculptor opens with the following scene, where Meg asks David to whisper her something:
