I remember seeing this movie around 1990 and it was already on TV so it could have been a little older. It was about a lab where they were trying to catch the souls and consciousnesses of dying people. They had a guy who had terminal cancer and his name was Kent, and when he died they were gonna ...

I just saw an old interview of Roger Waters where he describes a sci-fi short story, probably by Robert Heinlein, that he read in his youth, so dating back to the 1960s at least, and I'd really like to find it & read it myself. I'll transcribe his description directly : "It's about a guy on a co...

The artwork looks distinct. Thanks in advance.

Character actor Mark Peter Richman passed away January 21, 2021 at the age of 93. In the sci-fi and fantasy genres, he's probably best remembered as the brusque but cagey Ralph Offenhouse in the Star Trek: Next Generation episode "The Neutral Zone." Richman, however, appeared in a staggering nu...

I have vague memories of a movie I saw as a kid in the 90's, the movie itself might have been from outside the US and from earlier than the 90's (I'd say back as far as maybe early 80's), would not surprise me if it was Italian for example. Relatively low budget, looked kind of "grimy" from what ...

K-2SO beats up the troopers easily. Up in the sky, the bombers are preparing to attack. Just as they start the attack run, TIE fighters come in from the shield and swarm the rebel fleet. JON VANDER (GOLD LEADER): Red Leader, this is Gold Leader, we’re starting our attack run on the shield gate....

Ive been trying to find a book series I read when I was a kid. I don't have much information but one of the main things I remember was they invented gunpowder by using magic to boil water into a powder, and was ignited by rehydrating it. This was a major plot point several times. I also remember ...

I am really excited to watch Pocket Monsters the Movie: Coco but it seems it's not released outside Japan and also not dubbed in English. So when is this going to happen? Does somebody have any confirmed date or source?

I think the chosen one is Luke in episode 4-6 but it was anakin in 1-3 when he turned to the darkside he lost the title,but since Luke and Leila were born one of those two would get the title and one who got it was Luke.

Do you know any stories about robotic insects made for pollination and misused for surveillance?

I remember a fantasy book in which one of the things was magic hedgehogs, only they called them urchins. There were ones with gold spines and ones with black spines, and the black ones' spines were poisonous. Unfortunately, can't remember anything else about the book, or if I can I've forgotten...

There was this cartoon where the main kid character loved cats. I don't remember much but I do remember that later on there was this one special cat he took care of but then something risky had happend and the cat gave him its powers, probably since the cat cared for his owner and its power was d...

I remember reading a book where an antagonist was on a cargo ship or large yacht with some macguffin that the protagonist needed to retrieve without the antagonist having any time to trigger something in reaction. After considering various other methods of subduing the crew the protagonist and hi...

There's a pivotal scene in Larry Niven's short story, "A Hole in Space" in which Beowulf Shaeffer uses a length of Sinclair monofilament -- a monomolecular wire as strong as molecular bonds and only a few atoms thick -- to defeat the villain. His novel, Ringworld, had "shadow square wire" that k...

Is Gibson being completely serious when he is described as speaking 'solemnly' or was he being ironic i.e. saying it with sham solemnity in the following bit of the dialogue? Is there any indication anywhere in the book that spitting really is the approved solution? "Couldn't you spit your way to...

Rowling writes of the Harry, Ron, and Hermione in Chapter 16 of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, They were standing on the edge of a huge chessboard, behind the black chessmen, which were all taller than they were and carved from what looked like black stone. How tall were the chess pi...
