Hey folks. I meant to post this before the new year, then again on NYD. Still, 'tis still early, so here goes...
I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling that January can be the longest month. It's also (for me) usually a time when I'd rather look back at the good times just passed than forward to the year ahead. The blank slate of a new year is almost as awe-inspiring/terrifying as a blank page replete with blinking 'Write something!' cursor.
So with that in mind, I thought it might be fun to do something along the lines of the October Horror Movie Marathon (because boy does October seem to fly doing that), and I chose sci-fi because...well, as I say, this time of year is supposed to be about looking forward, and SF is just about the most forward-looking genre you can get.
No rules, just fun, and anything goes. If you like your SF with a dash of comedy, great. If near-future dystopias are your thing, go for it. Space opera? Classic hard SF? Sure, it's all there. Whatever floats your boat (or powers your starship, or squashes your bugs).
My list so far:
1) Blade Runner (Final Cut) (early hours of Jan 1st )
2) Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
3) Demolition Man
