The Wicker Man is a famous British folk musical/horror/erotic thriller film from 1973. (There was a 2006 American remake that I have never seen and which is not that well regarded.) I was wondering about the consensus on whether questions about the original film are on topic for Science Fiction...

I remember sometimes watching a cartoon series, where the entire concept is based around the main protagonist, a young boy with glasses (whom I'll just refer to as boy for simplicity sake), having crazy nightmares.
Some episodes I faintly remember:
Boy went to see a movie in the cinema with hi...
I can't for the life of me remember or find the details of this, but I recall reading about an author who was disabled and completely unable to work, and began writing as a hobby, going on to become highly successful through it.
IIRC, the author is:
Canadian
Male
Writes fantasy
Made millions o...
Let’s get rid of it
The vast majority of the questions listed are standard story-identification questions. Sure, the querents don’t know who wrote the story, but that’s because they don’t know the story. As long as we have this tag, it seems, people will continue putting in on such questions.

I'm trying to identify a few artists whose work appeared in SF pulps currently in the public domain, but whose name credits did not appear in the original issue. I have their signatures but not their full names. I wonder if anyone here might know...?
The artists I'm trying to identify are:

I have a sci-fi book from the 80's "Purnell's Book of adventures in space" SBN 361 044070
Many of the stories have kept in my mind for so many years, particularly "The Monsters":
"From his bedroom window, Zek watched the great space battle in the skies"
Does anyone know the authors nam...
This is a short story.
A society is seeking admission to a "federation". At a state dinner it is discovered that the food is actually babies that the society recycles after the babies fail to meet certain standards. The visiting delegation is horrified.
Iain M. Banks is remembered as creator of Shellworlds-artificial planets with layers of habitable space within them.
Except this is incorrect. I distinctively remember reading a British author in my youth that had a whole SF series dedicated to this very idea. One of the titles was something al...8

I have run across a small number of stories that posit a metaphysical equivalence between traditional magical rituals, and modern mathematical rituals (i.e. computer programming or proving certain theorems):
The Atrocity Archive and the rest of the "Laundry" series. (Charles Stross, 2001)

Well, I see a clear contradiction between how the concept of time is considered in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D and how it is in the Doctor Strange and Avengers: Infinity War films.
In the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D TV series we find some inhumans with the power to glimpse the future, like Raina in S2 and C...

An issue has been occurring to me as I am reading the first book. That is: why do people in the North, especially the Starks, take the Wall so seriously? Moreover, why do the people on the Wall take their role so seriously?
The reason I ask is that the stories of the Others are thought to be mer...
I recently noticed What was the first work to posit the equivalence of magic rituals and computer algorithms? being pushed to the front page. Currently, every answer is locked (maybe due to spam edits according to the comments). Is it still necessary to keep these posts locked?

I read a book about 11 years ago that was part of a larger series and I can't remember the name or author. I randomly picked it out of the Sci-Fi section in the library because I liked the cover and became really invested in it. After realizing it was not even the first part of a larger series, I...

This question was recently bumped by edits: In what order should I read the Robert Langdon books? At first I was going to delete it because it's off-topic for our site, but then I saw the incredibly high view count, meaning that (like many suggested-order questions) it's being useful to drive-by ...

As you know, you can already accept your own answer. The delay is built in to allow others to provide answers that may be better than your own.
You are already prompted to accept an answer (or raise a bounty) if you revisit the question page and (I think) on your profile page.

Now, to be fair, Hagrid did ask Madame Maxime if her mother or father was the giant, but Hagrid isn’t that smart. Unless the witch uses an Engorgment Charm or Swelling Solution, how can she procreate with a giant?

This question addresses where time comes from.
However, when I first watched the movie, the first thing I wondered was:
When you pay for your food or for public transport, your time obviously goes into the machine or the other person's personal time. However, when you live that time out, w...0
In Infinity War, we see Thanos wielding the Infinity Stones with the Infinity Gauntlet. His powers seem to expand as he obtains more Stones
Furthermore there are examples of other characters using the Stones to obtain powers which seem to be specific to the Stone being used:

Bruce takes Damian under his wing in 'Son of Batman', and becomes Robin. However, I wanted to know if Damian ever gets to see his mother again? Even in the comics, was there and evidence that Damian sees Tahlia again?
