I remember reading such a story, maybe in the New Yorker or The Atlantic, in the 1990s or early 2000s. There were hearts and diamonds and clubs and spades throughout the story (printed the same size as the type font, like wingdings or webdings symbols) in place of words. The story was written in ...
As we see throughout the series, the Liasons who are charged with managing the transition of souls in the Pasarela have names that consist of two letters, generally DH, and a number. I assume that the numbers indicate their position in the hierarchy, with lower being better (Carlota, for instance...
At the end of the third season, during a shootout with the Butcher, who has somehow returned from the dead again, Vargas puts a bullet in the middle of his forehead. When he does so, the Butcher immediately falls down dead (for the third time, I suppose). Then, so far as I can tell, the bodies of...
I saw this movie way back in the late 80s, maybe early 90s. I remember it being about a group of people who I think were touring a fallout shelter when the alarms go off and they become trapped inside.

Unusually for such a request, I think I know the title: “The Deserter”. Trouble is that ISFDB lists seven short stories with that title.
Setting is one of the cold planets. To explore it, people are sent out in new bodies suited to the environment. Not one of them has returned or reported, an...
In sci-fi comedy Downsizing (2017), why do they shave hair and remove teeth before sending them into shrinking procedure?
Spaceship is gigantic. Most of the passengers don’t even realize that it’s a spaceship and the Author describes the world in great - captivating - detail. Muddled recollection that it uses Micro blackholes for propulsion. It comes under siege. The protagonist - a young girl aspiring to become...

Ginny attempts suicide with a potion
(Chapter 23)
"Sir." gasped Harry, "Ginny Weasley. She's taken a potion. It's bad. In the common room."
"It looks like an overdose of a Draught of Peace. There's residue still in her mouth." said Snape,...
In Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker I was wondering if these two people were cameos/people we should know..?
No spoilers, but they appear almost at the end of the film.
I looked through quite a few of the 'cameos' websites/zines, but couldn't find anything :-)
