Q: Movie about a man imprisoned in a small room with a screen counting down the days until he is free

MorganI'm looking for a movie or maybe an episode of a TV show that I watched years ago about a man, imprisoned in a very small room and there's a screen in front of him that shows the days of his sentence left. I remember that when the countdown reached 0, it restarted and that enraged the man. I v...

Q: I can’t remember an adult comic about a robot

Q: Was there ever a resolution to the 2002 series Speed Racer X?

RusshiroSpeed Racer X was an update of the wildly popular 1960s Japanese anime, Speed Racer, [which, in itself, had a 1993 American update by DIC]. However, it was less episodic, with the 13 episode series having one over arching story [The World Grand Prix] with the side story of the Racer family uncove...

Q: Was Marvolo Gaunt's Ring or the Resurrection Stone the Horcrux?

Kyle VWas Marvolo Gaunt's Ring or the Resurrection Stone the Horcrux? I'm asking this because Dumbledore states that he was a fool, sorely tempted, and put on the ring, which sort of implies that he couldn't have taken the Resurrection Stone out of the Ring with a spell or physically, sort of like how...

Q: cannot recall name/author of sci-fi short story about extra sense that can be experienced by humans only once (probably from 1960's or 70's)

D.ScharfI am trying to recall the name and author of a sci-fi short story I read in the late 1970's, maybe early 1980's, probably in a sci-fi short story anthology. The protagonist of the story is on an alien world. They have an extra sense that humans do not have. Humans apparently have the physical ...

Wasn't there a character in Harry Potter that used t-glottalisation? As in "Harry Po'er" rather than "Harry Potter"?

Would that ne Mundungus Fletcher in this scene?
That's the closest I can find.
Found it through this. Never thought such nonsense would ever become useful.

@SQB Don't almost all Brits do that anyway?

@NapoleonWilson I don't think so, but I'm not sure. The explanation I found on YouTube called it an American English phenomenon.

That would be odd, I only know that from British and related people.
 
Nice, so everyone only does it when they want to mock the unintelligible speech patterns of the folks over the ocean.

Q: Was Dr. Jon Osterman a sociopath before he became Dr. Manhattan?

RichSWe see Dr. Manhattan kill many people when it was unnecessary. He could have stopped the war without killing any Vietnamese. He could have bound the mafia dons without splattering their guts across the room. He could have prevented the Comedian from killing the young Vietnamese woman. He seems in...

Q: Is Peter Capaldi the only Doctor to play another role in Dr. Who?

Mr. BoyPeter is the special guest actor in S4:E3 of modern Dr Who, alongside David Tennant's Doctor. He of course also took that titular role himself, after Matt Smith. There's a fun moment where the two grasp hands which is fun in hindsight. Have other actors played both The Doctor and appeared in the...
