^ 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.

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?

You didn't actually say the Matrix was bad, just heavily implied it.
TFE: The Fifth Element ijdgaf why don't we think about doing Jaws then, with your one scene set in stone? Or better yet, with your one scene highlighted with blinking text and a border and your name in neon lights, just to annoy everyone else.

Not to be a cynic, but isn't the plot of Jaws rather simplistic?
Jaws: Argh! Everyone: Gak! The End

No, not person. People? Thing? Things? Miscellanea?
I think that fits. You are a strange miscellanea.

The MPD is less pronounced than it used to be. We mostly work together now, you see.
(Now I just have to wait for my cue to say, "You will be.") EDIT: When I say mostly, I should mention that PJH is off doing his own thing. No-one has any idea what, so when we find out it will be an interesting day for us all.

The truck's just a decoy. The real PHJ is in that freaky little purple midget car in the background, right?
