I don’t know which one, I’m just the guy taking the nominees and spinning the wheel, I used whatever terminology Lime used for the categories. Maybe we need to re-evaluate and spin the wheel again?

Spinnaker1981 974 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I left 2 links above about the genre, but I was thinking along the 2001, Alien or Event Horizon sort of movie... There are loads of movies like it and some even not being set in space actually fit the genre (I am thinking of Crichton´s Sphere, or even Contact). It is not Space Horror, its Space thriller. Though I do fancy some gore, other may wish something a bit less dark. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinnaker1981 974 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 But, as I said, If you think its too narrow, we can broaden it, but if you wish to broaden it, then lets drop the thriller instead of the space, because we are going in complete opposite ways from what was intended in the genre and we will, then, have 2 nominations fitting the bill.

If it works for you then I'm going with it, this discussion has gone on long enough With that in mind, could everyone re-submit their films, which will be thrillers set in space/on a different planet. If they are set on Earth, they have to be predominately about space (like The Sphere) Nominations Gravity Sunshine Pitch Black (2 noms) Alien (2 noms) Aliens 2001: A Space Odyssey Life Europa Report Moon Forbidden Planet Event Horizon Interstellar @djw180 @Fido_le_muet can you guys pick something different?

Its a tricky genre to define! Yes it is, but full of gems to be discovered and that was my point in choosing the genre! Also, if nobody changes anything I will change Aliens for 2001 cos having that genre and nobody choosing that movie is bound to give bad karma.... after all it is (probably) the best sci-fi movie of all times... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chances are someone else will vote the same genre increasing the odds. If I can spin the wheel before everyone arrives at the office I will do that, I also might be going home early so the wheel won’t have to wait until the end of the day. I will do my best to get that thang spun !! 1 1 Quote RSC FILM CLUB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Con 5,703 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 So...I had a chance to spin this thang!! Please excuse the morning cobwebs as my brain had not awoken fully yet and was trying to hurry before co-workers arrived and got all up in the biz. 1 Quote RSC FILM CLUB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
