I've just rewatched Blade (1998), and I'm trying to figure out which city this movie is set in, which it never clearly states. It has been some time since I listened to the Director's commentary, and I do not remember any mention of that. Here are the clues I could find: Probably somewhere in the...

Which novel is the one that Honor Harrington first attends the naval Academy and meets Michelle Henke? I am unable to find that novel

I was watching Brent Spiner and Michael Dorn answer fan questions, and Michael Dorn brings up a question about Nero's drill and Vulcan, specifically, why didn't the Vulcans stop Nero from drilling and dropping the red matter? I found this question, but it's about how Nero made it to Earth to dril...

I've read on the Internet that, supposedly, the original version of Hansel and Gretel had a part where Hansel dies and is cooked into a meal by Gretel. Is that true? If so, is there a PDF of it online anywhere? Excerpt of the post that I've read about the supposed original version:

I remember watching what I think was a Soviet or some other Eastern European movie about the mythical Koschei the Immortal. It was in color and ended with the characters finding Koschei's soul inside a needle and I think breaking that needle. When they do that, Koschei falls to the ground and die...

I remember a book possibly published in the '70s or '80s. In the story a boy grows up in a cavern. Life sounds pretty primitive. He gathers lichen for food (I think), and it's imperative that the home fire never goes out since that is the only source of light or heat for cooking. The leader or he...

There is "lime-cured ginger" in Italian books translated as "zenzero tagliato con la limetta", which means lime fruit, but in Czech print there is "vápnem ošetřený zázvor", which is ginger cured with mineral lime. Could there be some analogy to the powdered slaked lime applied to the chewed Betel...

There used to be a Tolkien fanfiction, in the form of a blog that Sauron was writing, since the beginning of time. You can find the first twenty entries here. At some point the person who was writing it decided to stop. How many posts did he write before stopping? The first 79 are still available...

I was collecting this series in the late 1990's / early 2000's but I'm not sure when it actually started. It was published in black and white and followed a private detective agency (possibly in small-town America?) featuring a small group of either unlucky and/or other than competent anti-heros ...

In "What if...?" I learned that you could have two timelines in one universe. Honestly, this only made me more confused with the MCU than I already am. I don't know what is a timeline and what is a universe? What the TVA used to prone, a timeline or a universe? When Loki escaped with the space st...

Wish god, Maxwell speaks to Barbara, who had wish to become superhero: Maxwell: You made a wish too, huh? They're a bitch, aren't they? Make you pay a price, but I've never been one for rules. Luckily, I have a way to reverse it. The answer is always more. What exactly is the question for the a...

Did Wall-E have a safe boot in his firmware/OS? Remember, the definition of safe boot is a boot mode in which minimal components are loaded. So, if he did a "safe boot" his personality and sentience wouldn't load. If he was in safe mode, how did EVE's kiss get him out of safe mode?

I'm talking about ordinary non Starfleet or federation vessels, for example, you built your own vessel and some how manage to end up in the mirror universe with minimal to no weapons, no logs of any kind from other ships, and no additional data to help you. We've seen ships like this before in ca...

I recently watched "Memories of Murder" which is a Korean movie I guess and it was so good and still makes me think about this. So I was wondering if you guys can suggest me some good movies like this. Thanks in advance !!!

Some have asked questions regarding the ecosystem of Dune; I'm looking for a more human insight. One of the central in-fiction themes of Dune is the scarcity of water, and the natives of Arrakis have built their culture around conserving water. It is therefore surprising to observe that comparati...

From Star Trek Voyager: Death Wish: QUINN: Well, good luck to you all. I really have to be going now. JANEWAY: Return my crew! QUINN: I, I'm not sure how. Humans. Humans. Who would have more recent experience with humans? Q: What have you done now, Q? Well, now, isn't this just fine. Humans aren...

I've noticed that since August 13th, there have been ten Wall-e questions with an average score of 0.1 each. Two have been closed. These are supposedly from seven different users but 6/7 are from now-deleted accounts. What's happening here? Is a single person continually milling through accounts ...

I read a book once that had a man living in an apartment in a mostly abandoned/empty apartment building, one of the last people alive in the world or so I believe, due to the sun going red giant early? I don't remember for sure the specific reason but I know that the planet was overheating to the...
