I'd like to vote for Terminator II.

What, minorities can't make requests? Pleas? Anguished screams?

I don't think ET is cute. Not at all.

I guess Jurassic Park is okay, even though it's been well over ten years since I've seen it.

My whole purpose behind the "please no hardcore" thing is that I don't like hardcore scifi and I wanted to actually play a role in this one. Sue a guy for wanting to contribute.

How about Indiana Jones?

^ Don't even joke about that.

TFE is mine, and hopefully it will see the light of say sometime reasonably soon. If it's published before Tron is however, I may have to track down Zeke and do bad things to him. I'm talking things that would make Barney the Dinosaur cringe, here.

I like the suggestions of Independance Day and Terminator, though I'm somewhat baffled at the description of The Matrix as hard SF.

Nate, I had no objection to your point itself. It's well taken. I just don't see how it applies to The Matrix, which, for better or worse, was the most popular and successful sf movie in years. It made sci-fi hip for a while, the way Star Wars once did. That doesn't make it a good movie, but it made it a good choice for FBC. You were just an unfortunate exception -- there'll be one or two no matter what we pick.

Jaws has been called by me. But really, I've only written one scene and I'm not sure I want to keep it or not.

I second Jurrasic Park or Indiana Jones.

Where did I say Matrix is bad? I don't want to watch it, ever, but that doesn't necessarily imply "bad", just "it's not my style."

What's TFE?

He's on holiday at the moment. Yes, on holiday to the bottom of the loch.

What can we say? He just got on our nerves one too many times.
