Parameters: From Easy Rider (07/14/1969) to Heaven's Gate (11/19/1980). All in between. US release dates. US and foreign films.

Easy Rider and Heaven's Gate can also be chosen. Foreign films released in the US within that time period. So there's films that were released overseas before 69' that were released in the US later and yes, they would be eligible.

Also: I need a plucky volunteer to keep up the Chosen list and keep it up well.

Starts Monday, 9am.

More:

Once a group comes up, for example, the first group on Monday:

Day 1:

9am-11am
Nunz
Angel
Eileen
sackley

Everyone in the group is on the clock at the same time. Anyone in the group can pick first.

Once everyone in the group has chosen a film/the slot time has run out, the next group can draft.

Dig?

I can handle the Chosen, but restoration of the editing feature would be nice.

Just to be clear, I understand how Group 1 starts on Rounds 1, 3 and 5, etc., so each round starts every other day excluding weekends, yes? So Round 1 will be Wednesday and Thursday, Round 2 will be Friday and Monday, and so on?

Si. Each round lasts two days. One half one day, one half the other.

Tomorrow? Nice day to let all hope fade while roughly twenty gorgeous picks happen before it is my turn sometime the day after. Canīt wait for later turns when hillarity ensues.

No, go for it. Research for this isn't that difficult.

If a foreign film was released in our time parameters but was not released in its original language --- it was a dub or some crap like that --- it is not eligible. We frown upon such things.

Technicality: As I read it, a group can start as soon as all four of the previous group has posted. This means that if that second group ALL post early the third group can go, even if they're four hours ahead of the clock. Do I read right?

Next group is good to go.

I'll bet a week's pay that someone picks a porn title.

So if we all agree to nopt pick one, you'll give us a week's pay to split? Is this a big check? What do you do?
