Just rewatching the 1960s Vincent Price version of I am Legend and in the first minute or so we see him look at dead bodies and he narrates, They feed off of weak ones. I do not recall this from the book which I have admittedly not read in years and actually the line in the film surprises me whic...

Probably late 80s,there were secret vampire factions in conflict, but they were actually aliens (stranded?) who disagreed on how to treat humans.

The mc is a man in his 30s(?) who makes a living doing odd jobs. He is frequently transported to world with a fantasy setting where he inadvertently helps the people he meets, before being transferred back to where he was a just before the shift to the fantasy world.

E17, S4: Rules of engagement I use the part with Quark from chakoteya transcript to expose my doubts. [Quark's] QUARK (to camera): It was about seventeen hundred hours. I was doing some cleanup work.

I'm trying to find information about a TV show, or perhaps a segment from a TV show. I believe it was called Mission: Reading, or Reading Mission. It was a live-action kids educational TV show circa the 1990s, either American or Canadian. I only saw one episode of it. It featured a boy and a girl...

One thing that has always bothered me while watching Star Wars is that I don’t know what Darth Maul’s real name is. I know that Darth Maul is a Sith name given to him by Darth Sidious. All of the other Sith that I know have a real name and a Sith name. Like Darth Vader is Anakin and Lord Tyranus ...

I just re-watched the last movie in the LOTR franchise, and I couldn't help but wonder whether they really built the Beacons of Gondor on top of mountaintops and lit them in order to get the shots used in the movie, or at least some of them. It would strike me as quite a task to haul the logs up ...

In Arkady Martine's A Memory Called Empire the main planet speaks a language called Teixcalaanli. Is this language based on Aztec, Mayan, or some other real human language?

I remember watching a short film years ago about a time loop where there's this guy in a white plastic onesie with goggles, almost like a CSI worker. It starts with him in a room behind a chair I think and it ends with him jumping off a building onto a safety mat. He tries to avoid other people t...

This was a novel from late 80s-early 90s. I think it was one of those space-faring humans return to explore damaged Earth. The difference was that the youth who touched down had been mutated in space. I think they might have had psionic powers and one had a mineral form. So like the 100, but with...

I'm trying to track down a book I borrowed form a library in the UK around 2000/2001. Here are the details I remember: The story is set in a fantasy world; no connections to our world The main characters are four children who have no connection initially but are brought together over the course ...
