Movie Draft Discussion 3: Season of the Mitch

[Nick Nunziata]

yes

[Poxy Von Sinister]

Finally! I was getting carpal tunnel scrolling down to the bottom of that other thread.

[devilf]

Nice pick on DTRT, Innocent. You seen the Criterion disc? Great stuff - especially the behind the scenes stuff that Spike shot. Utterly fascinating.

[Innocent X]

Thanks, and it's interesting you mention that. I've actually been using my draft as a "DVD Wish List" so I'm not picking anything that I currently own. So I expect to get DTRT soon.

[Dave Davis]

damn, my dark horse Midnight Run got grabbed

[Nick Nunziata]

Midnight Run was my #9 pick.

[Seahawk]

I have the Jack Ryan Series and the Ghostbusters Series!

BOW BEFORE ME!

Now, we'll see how the rest of this pans out!

------------------
"Hold onta' ya' butts!'

[The Duke]

Ah yes, Midnight Run. If you want it, I may be willing to take The Thing off your hands for it as an even swap. I'm currently weighing other offers, so you better act fast.

[The Duke]

And Dave, the same goes for you and Star Wars.

I'm in my generous mood today.

[Django]

Damn you stink HAM!

Damn you cause I like to start every day with a tangy taste of Zane!

Go masturbate in hell...

[Jason Pollock]

I see a vomiting crab.

[TheOutlawTorn]

"You fuckin'...ho' dun, po' dun, well-then there MOTHER FUCKERS!"

[Poxy Von Sinister]

"You talk like that in front of my kid? Fuck you and your family!"

"That's the biggest hyperbole in the whole wide world!"

[A-Pathetic]

Are we going to try to get round 7 rolling this afternoon?

[Blofeld]

What do you care?

[Innocent X]

Not sure A-P. It's going to slow down into the weekend anyway. We'll see how it goes.

[Poxy Von Sinister]

Make Round 7 go!

------------------
Poxy Von Sinister
"That's the biggest hyperbole in the whole wide world!"

[devilf]

Go, ye scurvy bastards! Go!

[Poxy Von Sinister]

Seven rounds and we finally get the first Godzilla movie! GO BIG G!!!

[trippingbillie41]

I have no idea what I'm going to draft this round.

[devilf]

As far as I can tell, I have the most black and white movies in this Draft. Hmmm. I may have the oldest one, too.

[A-Pathetic]

The number of recent films I'm drafting is actually surprising me. I would love to grab some older movies, but I keep thinking up more recent films that I love. Besides that, Casablanca was taken right out from under me.

[trippingbillie41]

This draft has gone lightyears faster than the first one, but today seems to be dragging a little. Is everyone ditching work today? Or are folks actually working at work today?

[Blofeld]

I'm waiting on Davis. If he doesn't go soon, I'll take his film right out from under him.

[Nick Nunziata]

The Mexican was chosen. I can't wait to see the debate.

[Innocent X]

The Mexican. Yeah that was a shock.

[A-Pathetic]

It was DJ Dylan, who has already proven to have taste pretty divergent from the rest of us so it's kind of hard to get in a twist about it. At least it wasn't Blair Witch 2.

[LowShot]

Yeah, that is true. I liked the Beach, but it's not a "watch over and over and over" film.

[Innocent X]

Hey, anyone down with instituting a Double Pick (two movies) for Round 8?

[devilf]

I'm iffy on a double pick...

If Round 7 ends at 4, are we starting 8 right then? I wanna get the fuck home early while i can use the weather as an excuse.

[trippingbillie41]

flyers, American Beauty was the first pick of Round 7 (by the Equivocator). Choose something else.

[Innocent X]

Yeah, I don't know about the double pick idea either, but I wanted to throw the idea out there for discussion.

I was thinking that Round 8 would start at 6pm.

[Django]

Fire up round 8 ASAP cause I'm bored.

1 movie pick per turn. We discussed this at the start of this draft and called no joy. I saw we finish this as it began.

We have till Friday after all at least...

[Nick Nunziata]

I put the kibosh on double pick in a thread before this draft started.

On with round 8!

[Django]

And I have three requests for future drafts.

1. Weapons and Technology
2. Vehicles and Ships
3. Rock Bands A Go-Go

[Django]

HAM YOU BASTARD!!!

You can't go to the Team Django Backyard Hoedown with special musical guest Rick Springfield for this.

And we're gonna serve food on little white sticks and everything...

[trippingbillie41]

Fuck you, HAM!!!!!!!!

Shit, I knew I shouldn't have held off on that one for so long.

[Neil Bung]

That's what I love about this draft! Mean Streets followed by Masters of the Universe! The scope is practically unimaginable.

And I've gotta say, all notions of "art," "greatness," and all that pompous "serious filmgoer" stuff aside, I think Django's got the collection that I would least get bored with, besides my own.

Are we gonna be voting on who has the best list in this draft or will it just sort of trail off like the last one?

[Neil Bung]

Okay, I admit it. I was gushing just so that I'd get to see Rick Springfield.

[Jason Pollock]

Yeah, well-I'd be willing to trade for JUST ABOUT EVERY GOD DAMN THING YOU TOOK THAT DOESN'T HAVE MELANIE GRIFFITH IN IT.

You decimated my list, Hondo.

Seriously-from Phantom Menace on, nearly everything you chose was slated to go my way.

Way I figure it, though, it's fine-we'll be hanging out enough on the island that we can do film fests and what not-and you're more than welcome to share in the bounty of my harem-anyone not named Claire, Cate, or Mo is fine.
We can even go liberate Lady Django from whatever chowderhead snagged her. I know Outlaw piced Rollins, and Hank is loyal to me-so we've got a swank little triad to take on that Delta Force operation...

See-everything's gonna' be fine. http://www.chud.com/board/ubbhtml/wink.gif

[Django]

OK, fine, shit. You can see Springfield.

Besides, as much as I wanted Heigl at the time, Jennifer Morrison is the new Lady Django. And Billie's a good kid and a member of the team to boot.

But I'm all for liberating JLH from whichever jarhead has her...

[Jason Pollock]

Well, I think the scope of things is very cool, but I can tell you that while love a film Like Lawrence of Arabia, it's not something it could watch six times a day. Nor is it anything that makes me feel anything beyond the emotional involvement in its rousing spectacle.

I'm choosing films that have stayed with me because of my life at the time, or who I was with when I saw them-sometimes, and I don't really think I NEED to tell anyone here this-it's what the movie means to you personally that makes it what it is. There are films that most people would look at as servicable that become classic to others because of their mindset or a series of events surrounding the film. A lot of what I've chosen hinges on that aspect.

[trippingbillie41]

I think Innocent X snatched Jennifer Love Funbags.

Did anyone else stay all the way through the Masters of the Universe credits to see Skeletor rise up from the liquid to claim he'd be back?

[This message has been edited by trippingbillie41 (edited 03-05-2001).]

[Innocent X]

I take offense at the word "jarhead."

[Django]

OK how 'bout...

Limpdicked Jenny Snatchin' Shithead?

And HAM, I follow you completely. That's why I got two Timmy Thomerson movies within seven...

[Jason Pollock]

Yep. In the theater.

I'm still waiting.

[trippingbillie41]

Me too.

[Poxy Von Sinister]

Wow, I thought Round 8 would have started by now.... Hey Innocent, if you got an email from DailyRich, ignore it, I'm here now....

[LowShot]

Django, I'll hook you up with a night of firey passion with Kirsten Dunst, if I can bring my lovely ladies over for a screening of Episode 1, and The Last Starfighter.

God, I love message board where you can barter sex with actresses for watching films. Ain't CHUD grand?

[Django]

Sweet.

And you guys thought I was nuts for pickin' Ep 1...

[Carl Cunningham]

Who says we don't? http://www.chud.com/board/ubbhtml/wink.gif

[Jason Pollock]

Do what now?

[Innocent X]

Return of the Joker was eligible? I thought it was only theatrical releases?

[Nick Nunziata]

Then it ain't eligible.

[Carl Cunningham]

And the Uncut version TECHNICALLY doesn't even exist http://www.chud.com/board/ubbhtml/wink.gif

[Jason Pollock]

Actually, the rules were that as long as it's at IMDB, is a feature, and played somewhere before TV-it's valid.

Direct-to-Video is fine.

Of course, to specify "uncut", is not, and If it is-then I'm gonna' be a tad on the pissed side, because that means that theatrically-released films that have been offered in the home market as a director's cut, special edition, or uncut version, are now acceptable.

And that means I can select The Medieval Dead, Captain Supermarket (the flick, not the guy) The Exorcist Director's Cut, or The Exorcist: THE VERSION YOU'VE NEVER SEEN (how dumb WAS that subtitle?).

So direct-to-vid? Yep.

Unrated? Nope.

There you go.

[Innocent X]

Set up a schedule for tonite to get things moving a bit.

[Innocent X]

So much for my plan of taking Weird Science in the 10th round. Never thought it would go. Trip, you bastard.

[Django]

Sing along, bitches...

Ee he o he-o cowboy
Ee he o he-o oooo
Ee he o he-o cowboy, cowboy, cowboy
Under the moon.

I was riding my horse
Down by the Rio Grand-ee
And all of the coyotes singin' singin'
In a prairie symphony.

I was riding my horse
Down by the Rio Grand-ee
When I see me a cowboy, cowboy, cowboy
Ridin' towards me.

Ee he o he-o cowboy
Ee he o he-o oooo
Ee he o he-o cowboy, cowboy, cowboy
Under the moon.

Giddyup...

[trippingbillie41]

Wow, the draft didn't move as much as I thought it would through the evening.

And I thought Superman may have slipped under the radar. Damn...

[Innocent X]

Superheroes weren't doing so well in Chud Movie Draft 2001.

[devilf]

Bung, nice Wilder picks! I was hoping to get the Apartment (I figured everyone else was busy picking Treasures of the Four Crowns).

Well played, clerks.

[trippingbillie41]

I have not seen "Dude, Where's My Car?", Dylan, so you will get no shit from me.

[Neil Bung]

Thanks, dev! Unfortunately, my choices have resulted in me not getting "Dude, Where's My Car?"

Okay, not really.

(Hey, is Treasure of the Four Crowns still available? The first 3D movie I ever saw in a theater...)

[Poxy Von Sinister]

Hey Imperator, I assume by the quote you mean the Michael Mann LOTM, but Flint took that in Round 6 already.

[Django]

And to think no one's picked Bring It On.

Yet...

[A-Pathetic]

Exactly how many times is Patrick allowed to select The Legend of Boggy Creek? Is he worried he'll watch it so much on his island that he'll wear a copy out?

[The Duke]

Thanks, X.

Yes, Walter Hill's The Warriors (1979?) is the version that I selected. I better keep an eye on that Adam guy -- he's a sneaky bastard. http://www.chud.com/board/ubbhtml/smile.gif

[The Duke]

And I would like to thank Flint for taking my intended Round 9 pick (** sarcasm **).

[flyers130]

One of my pals is a UHF addict, as well as being an overall Weird Al junkie...

Luckily, he doesn't frequent CHUD. Unless I mention this to him, that is...

Ob La Di, Ob La Da

[trippingbillie41]

UHF...an excellent choice... I was torn between that one and THE ROCK. Sean Connery won out this time.

[A-Pathetic]

Nick-
Eight Men Out was Scarab X's 7th rounder.

[Django]

I don't know 'bout anyone else, but I'm heading over to Smilin' Jack's to see me some geek dancing...

"Hey Ted, where's the damn corkscrew?"

[Innocent X]

FARGO was already taken RAOUL. Scarab X, Rnd 9.
