I have already read the first book (The Three Body Problem), and I'm thinking of buying the whole series for someone I know and respect. The problem is that relations might be genuinely strained if I gave a book with a sex scene to that person (please just trust me on this and don't quiz me about...

After having chased off the other Nazgûl on the weathertop, Aragorn threw the torch at the last remaining Nazgûl there, setting him on fire. In flames, he ran away but obviously survived.

I am looking for a movie from the '50s, maybe '60s (not sure). It's about rock-like monsters that attack people and lays eggs inside them, maybe even eat them. That is all I remember about the movie. Can anyone help? Thanks.

In The Children of Húrin, there is the following interesting passage: They led the old Dwarf away to their dismal camp, and as he went he muttered in a strange tongue that seemed harsh with ancient hatred; but when they put bonds on his legs he went suddenly quiet. And those who were on the wa...

When I was a kid I used to have a VHS of an anime movie that revolves around the scenario in the title. I have looked at Orbots, but the orbs were the bad guys. You had the regular mismatched group: the tall heroic character, the girl, the goofy fat one. The heroes were more like space truckers t...

Can someone rank the most powerful symbiotes of MCU?

I am trying to think how they know that or even could know that David (and other androids) are immortal. The fact that they have sort of messy and complex insides suggests to me that they could easily wear out. Is the idea explored? Is it suggested because they can continually repair David that h...

For the past few weeks, I have been looking for a list of all the known the questions (or statements) to have been asked as part of a Voigt-Kampff test (or Voight-Kampff as they say in the first movie).

I'm looking for a book I read some time in the late 90s-early 00s, translated into Hungarian, but I'm all right with the English title. A sci-fi title set in the mid-future with space flight.

When Wall-E shows EVE the plant, it sounds like some sort of motor revs up, then EVE opens her chest, takes the plant, shuts down, then turns off Wall-E's electronics. What is the "motor" that revs up in this scene?

I read this story long back. It was a small town and two people were expecting alien visitors for business contract. The alien ship crashes and the little kids of these two people brought the aliens home, hide them from their parents and feed them. In the end, it was revealed that aliens were act...

Plot Details/Summary I only remember a bit about the film. It was a color film from either the 60s or 70s. A boy, perhaps a teen, but probably younger, stows away on a U.S. space launch somehow. He's discovered by the astronaut on board. I do not remember any of the actors. The one scene I can...

I remember the ending scene of a movie that I watched. In it, a girl, her father, and some other man are discussing how to exorcise an evil spirit out of the girl. The man places a cage with a rat or some other rodent near the girl and lays out his plan. The girl is to be injected with a poison t...
