I remember seeing this movie as a kid in the 90s. I think it's a 90s film but could be 80s, and I think the word cyborg is in the title. The premise as I remember it is a little girl and her mom are being hunted by some robot or cyborg in a post apocalyptic desert setting. I remember scenes of th...

Lockhart says to Harry Potter and Ron: Lockhart: I'm rather gifted with Memory Charms. Otherwise, all those wizards would have gone blabbing. I'd never have sold another book. In fact, I'm going to have to do the same to you. What does "the same" refer to?

In Andy Weir's Project Hail Mary, nitrogen in the atmosphere is lethal for the astrophage predator taumeba. In part of the story they are trying to breed taumeba that can live in a few percent nitrogen. This taumeba escapes and kills all the astrophage, but why didn't the 70% nitrogen in the norm...

According to Wikipedia, there was once a common expression that "the only people who stay dead in comics are Bucky, Jason Todd, and Uncle Ben." By now, the first two were also resurrected. On the other hand, as far as I know, Gwen Stacy (of Earth 616) remained dead for good. Of course, I'm sure t...

I purchased this book second-hand in the late 90's, so it was probably published somewhere between 1989-1998. I'm basing this on the fact that the book was near new condition when I bought it. The book was definitely classified as 'horror'. The story is set in Victorian London. It features some f...

I couldn't find a good answer anywhere else, and I can't find my copy of the 2001 edition either to confirm or cross reference handwriting. The 2001 edition contains diegetic scribbled notes from characters in the series, namely Harry, Ron and Hermione. One of which is initialled by Ron (in the s...

In Andy Weir's Project Hail Mary, on page 224, we get the following conversation between Rocky and Grace: I try another approach. "Space has very very very fast hydrogen atoms. They move almost the speed of light. They were created by stars long long long ago." "No. No mass in space. Space is em...

“Ah, music," he said, wiping his eyes. "A magic beyond all we do here!” - Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter and The Philospher's Stone So, Dumbledore is pretty darned fond of music. We also know that, under Dumbledore, Hogwarts has been barely regulated (it's mentioned later on that Dumbledore bas...

Many of the characters in The Matrix have meaningful names which relate to the role the character plays. For example: "Neo" is an anagram of "One" (for The One). Also, one of the many references to Neo as a Christ figure is his surname (Anderson), which means "son of man" -- one of the titles Je...

Tom Bombadil has been shown to be a powerful and significant figure in Middle Earth. However, in Peter Jackson's adaption of J. R. R. Tolkien's Lord Of The Rings trilogy, we see nothing of the jolly singing Master of the Woods, who is (probably) the most powerful individual in the entire Legendar...

In this shot, a fellow prisoner is seemingly disintegrated or something. I'm wondering what that was. Was he being killed or was it a portal or something?

It was probably a YA novel. I’m pretty sure the plot went something like this: Scientists created dinosaurs, which created an apocalypse Society lives underground, in factions the main character’s father is… missing? Doing something somewhere else? I’m not sure, I just know that she had to sneak...

Gandalf signs his letter to the bartender in Bree with a "G" rune: But "Gandalf" is the English rendition of what's presumably meant to be Westron in-universe. What then is Gandalf's real Westron name, and does it also start with "G"?

I remember that Harry has long hair and he has a different name like Indy or something. He was raised in an orphanage where he was abused and neglected. When he goes in Hogwart he is sorted in slytherin. He is really powerful and decide to go with Tom Riddle.
