The two twelve-year-old human kids have been thrust into a world of sentient animals (some of which are evil), non-sapient creatures (giant bees for instance), and other scary elements. So does that even make them wet their pants out of fright?

Book I read in the early 1970s about a group of scientists who invent or discover a material that allows dead people to be brought back to life, but is toxic to living beings. They use it to bring back famous dead scientists, including Madame Curie (I think). The restored scientists have to stay...

Fawkes was genuinely loyal to Dumbledore and even protected him once by taking Avada Kedavra on itself (and then reborn from ashes). Why didn't Fawkes protect Dumbledore once again like that?

I don't remember much about this story other than it is quite old. In the plot all I can remember is that there were a group of people who wake up in pods in the middle of the street of a town. I think they were buildings like a grocery store that were similar to what you would find on earth. I d...

I’m trying to find a movie or series, it was an anime or some animation if I remember right. I watched it around 2010-2016.

I read this story a bit then left and forgot its name. There is a guy who discovers that he has water-controlling powers when he is attacked on a rooftop near a water tank, and he suddenly creates a giant water ball to drown them.

Do the hilts just sit there? I'm specifically refering to huge battles like Geonosis or the 7th Battle of Ruusan. Is there someone who scavenges the sabers, or do the Jedi/Sith send people to recover them? Of course we have to mention this guy when talking about the Clone Wars though:

Novel with a women editing 20/21st century movies to add interaction and 3D effects. She lived in a shack in the wilderness and if I remember correctly it was an additional source of income.

I have been trying to find even a reference to this book and haven't been able to do so. I read it in the early '80s, but it might have been published a bit earlier. It was a rather small mass market paperback novella, maybe about 100 pages, with a black cover. I think the title was in green-scre...

Alright, so as a kid I remember seeing the beginning of a film on TV, and it's been bugging me for more than a decade trying to figure out what it was. I remember the first scene - it felt like late 70s - early 80s budget vfx - flat lighting, visible matte lines, maybe even still images of models...

The main protagonists was a genius Game Designer / CEO of a Computer Game Company who knew where the minable resources in the game were (because he was the one who created the very realistic geology of the game world). Since the in-game ores / currency became quite valuable in real money he was u...
