Q: Horror movie or tv show with slug aliens?

FairykirinWhen I was a kid I faintly remember watching a movie or tv show episode with alien slugs. So this would probably be stuff before 2008. (it was aired on tv at some point I wasn't watching a dvd or vhs tape) What I can recall most vividly is a few separate scenes. One with a huge crater and a bunch...

Q: Is there any canon information about how gravity is controlled?

regionalskyShips of Star Wars all have artificial gravity even when within other gravitational fields. Some ships weaponize gravity to pull others out of hyperspace. Technology has clearly progressed to a point where organisms understand and can alter gravity at will. Is there ever any canon discussion of h...

@SmokeDetector Oh, that's my bad. It's a minimal answer, and I fixed the link but left it at the start.

Q: Were any elements from the Shazam! television series later integrated into the comics?

Q: Do predators eat meat in the Kung Fu Panda universe?

ValorumThere are a considerable number of predators featured in the various Kung Fu Panda properties including Tigress (a tiger), Tai Lung (a leopard), Boss Wolf (a wolf) and Viper (a snake), to name but a few. As far as I'm aware, while cats, snakes and wolves are obligate carnivores in the real world,...

Q: Is meat/fish eaten in the Kung Fu Panda universe?

PahlavanThe Kung Fu Panda universe contains both carnivores (tigers, leopards, wolves, crocodiles etc.) and animals commonly eaten, both by those and in Chinese cuisine (pigs, ducks/geese, cattle, sheep etc.). All of these are portrayed as sentient and one would assume that they are thus not part of the ...

Q: Was the Tumbler Nolans creation or did somethimg similar already exist?

ShadeI've grown up with the Batmobile having the long front and a jet engine in order to be fast. They always slightly changed in design but had the general look I knew from the cartoons: Then, in Nolans Dark Knight Trilogy, a completely new design was introduced: the Tumbler. Is this a new design by...

@SmokeDetector False Alarm
 
@AncientSwordRage Registered answer as false positive.
 
What does that actually do? I forget from last time
@Mithical ...?
 
Just marks it as a False Positive in smokey I think
 
@TheLethalCarrot ahh ok, it doesn't update anything to prevent future false alarms
 
Don't think so
They only come back in again on an edit (I believe) so it wouldn't make sense to block anyway I guess

Q: Which OT era X-Wings had spirals on their laser canons?

NKCampbellIn one of the trailers for The Mandalorian: Season 2, we see two X-Wings flanking the Razor Crest. The one nearest the camera has a spiral on the upper left laser canon (and a yellow nose cone...) What OT era X-Wings had spirals like this on their laser canons? FWIW - the only X-Wing I can find t...

PSA: a canon is a group of literary works that are generally accepted as representing a field, or sometimes more specifically a group of sources which are considered part of the main continuity regarding a given fictional universe; a cannon is a device for shooting material out of a tube.

Q: Was Lucius Malfoy actually going to kill Harry Potter?

ValorumAt the end of the film version of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry tricks Lucius Malfoy into giving Dobby a sock. Since this means that his household servant is no longer under his control, this understandably causes Lucius some annoyance. He pulls out his wand and begins to incant ...

Q: A book by an American ex-spy who took part in coup to allow for construction of Panama canal

Vladimir MarkievI once read a book about an American ex-spy, but can't remember neither it's title, nor author. I remember that author was an American ex-spy who took part in covert ops in several countries including Panama. The book starts from author's young years, when he worked for Peace Corps. I think ther...

Q: What is the average lifespan of a Gree? (Alien species in Star Wars)

NurglingsWhile researching the old races of the Star Wars galaxy, I did not find any information on the longevity of the vast majority of these. Certainly, we see vestiges of their past exploits in the LORE but no information relating to their own species (except for a banal physical description). In ligh...

Q: Looking for short comic book strip from Alan Class reprints of EC type mystery comics about scientist extracting sound from rocks/artefacts

RaymondViewing a recent question regarding ancient voices from stones, I recall a short comic strip with a story of a Scientist who extracts historical voices from rocks/artefacts and maybe even projects them visually. Perhaps even the past invaded the present though I am guessing here. I believe it was...

Q: Who sent the group to the Game Preserve Planet in Predators

user10191234Any idea who sent the gang of extremely dangerous individuals to the unknown planet (or moon, since you see a huge Jupiter like planet nearby) in Predators that Royce described as the Game Preserve Planet. Is it the Weyland company or any other entity, was that referenced in some tie-in materials?

Q: How did Morgan predict the alien invasion so correctly?

Rob JacksonMinus the part about small size of the aliens. The aliens didn't fight an airborne battle and it seemed that they came to harvest the planet. The news report, the morning they leave, on the radio confirms it.

Q: Did water really kill the aliens?

Rob JacksonI can't help but think that this is a red herring. We have nothing to go except what Ray Reddy says. Plus the aliens were in the cornfields every night, and in the scene where Graham investigates his field at night, you can clearly hear the air raining corn dew. Clearly the aliens were not uncomf...
