It looks like we have a theme change in the works. Hard Sci-fi is the next theme. We could start on that this week or we could do one more from the 'Exceptionally Original' theme.

Regardless we need to nominate some films to go into the new poll. I found this unsouced blurb describing what makes Hard Sci-fi hard.

Hard science fiction is a subgenre of science fiction that prioritizes scientific accuracy, technical plausibility, and rigorous adherence to established principles of physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy, and other natural sciences, often featuring detailed explanations of speculative technologies and phenomena.

And I suppose the realism ultimately falls on a spectrum, and so everyone needs to make their own determinations. If you list it, I will add it. But there will be two one hard rules to keep find media easy.

• No non-English films.
• No television.
  No exceptions.

If you aren't sure what movies are hard scifi, wing it. Just get as close as you can. Or you can look up some lists online, which do exist, and nominate the ones you think look interesting. Or maybe we'll have JC judge what is hard scifi or not. /s

The poll is always open for themes:

In case we do another 'Exceptionally Original' night here is the poll:

If we ever go back to a prior theme, we already have the polls ready to go.
