In Shrek there is a character called Monsieur Hood, also referred to as Robin Hood later on. He is a clear parody of Robin Hood, a legendary figure from England. What I don't understand though is why he is French in the film when he is an English figure. So, why did they decide to make him Fren...

My memory on this is a little fuzzy since I thought the story was in one of the Golden Age of anthologies that I have but I can't find it there. I can provide a few more details than in the title. There are a few different episodes or situations. We are not quite sure what is going on at first ...

After Alice is captured and locked up in a van Kate goes to her to reassure her that she didn't lead the Crows.

There are just a few details I recall from a novel I read about 25 years ago. The setting is a fairly unmemorable future space-faring society. I don't recall any major character aliens, but that doesn't mean there weren't any. The 2 main characters of the novel were an unmodified human woman f...

In the story, one of the characters, some kind of diplomat, speaks profusely. Only after recording and analysing his speech, the main...

I was watching Iron Man 3 recently and it occurred to me that the robots Tony Starks uses in his workshop look an awful lot like the scutters from Red Dwarf. Is there any evidence that the Iron Man robots were inspired by Red Dwarf? Scutter (from Red Dwarf) Tony Stark's Robot Arm

I'm looking the name of a show set in an age before modern technology that featured a samurai in blue who's village was attacked by purple demon dogs, his arm was infected and he left the village seeking a cure.

A black cat was possessed at one point and these two guys in "astronaut" suits were looking at the cat body in a church? the black "blob" gets to one of the guys shoes and gets into his suit and proceeds to possess the guy. Not even sure if the cat...

This will be difficult because it was only roughly 5 seconds worth of content. I'm looking for a show that featured a nighttime cityscape backdrop and an anime transformation sequence which ended with the girl's chest size growing exponentially. I believe she was wearing red, but other than your...

I am looking for a martial arts/phantasy/science fiction film that I only remember very vaguely: the film is probably from the late 70s or 80s it's a Chinese/Hongkong production I think it had something like seven/seventh sign/symbol in the title? it looked very clean, with many white Ninja-sty...

In the Peter Pan & the Pirates episode The Neverscroll, it's established that Peter is magically attached to the fate of Neverland. Quote Tinkerbell: "Peter Pan is Never Land...and Never :and is he!" It's shown that, if part of the Neverscroll----a magical piece of parchment which demarks all...

Takeshi Kovacs lost his good friend Jimmy De Soto to a "viral strike" which resulted in the "real death" of many of the Envoy soldiers at Innenin.

I am presently reading a novel in present-day India about an outcast (Dalit) woman who has to clean the latrines of her neighbors in a small village. This brought back to my mind a story I read very long ago. In an isolated space colony there is one man who is an outcast because he deals with fe...
