timdraft #4: Movie Category Draft (1 Viewer)

[John Maddens Lunchbox]

JML, if you don't want to submit another car chase movie, I will accept Duel and let the judge deal with it. If I were the judge I would give it a 1, but I'll leave it up to the judge. Its your call.

Damn. Wished I'd seen this before I caved in, although technically you caved in first so VICTORY!!!!

I'll stick with Short Time. Thanks though

 

[Mister CIA]

Mister CIA, I am sending you a list of suggestions.

Thanks. I received suggestions for Andy Du* for courtroom scene, shootout and parent - I asked him to post'em on my behalf. I assuming he will, but if he does not I will repost them, unless you overwhelm me with suggestions worthy of an override.

 

[John Maddens Lunchbox]

In this draft, we have seen him hold a boombox over his head to woo a girl and teach us of the fine art of making a mixed tape, now we get to see him kick some ### and kill a guy with a pen:

26.16:

Tim, this is missing from the Fight Scene on the OP, although it is in KP's list of movies.

 

[John Maddens Lunchbox]

FWIW I will be ranking my categories in the following order ie a Big Tease

1) England

2) Fight Scene

3) Cum Shots Sex/Adultery

hooter311 needs to show up here in the next couple of days- otherwise, I will call for volunteers to finish off his picks.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

For Mr. CIA

courtroom scene - Breaker Morant (one of the best movies nobody's seen)
shootout -


best movie parent - George Bailey - It's A Wonderful Life (because of the example he sets for his kids)

 

[Mister CIA]

For Mr. CIA

courtroom scene - Breaker Morant (one of the best movies nobody's seen)

shootout -

Excellent!

I started a new job a two months ago. Where not so long ago I could make two hours of work look like eight, now eight hours of work takes twelve.

:cheesemoved:

 

[timschochet]

Breaker Morant is a great movie. And it's available on Netflix.

 

[timschochet]

All judges- even if your category is done, please do not post any rankings until ALL the categories are filled. Thank you.

 

[Tiananmen Tank]

Two picks before I pass out, will finish up tomorrow.

27.15 Cell block tango, Chicago -- Dance Scene

 

[Aerial Assault]

Darling daughter just sang Happy Birthday to Earth (they just observed Earth Day @ school). Then she shouted ""Are you one billion? NO! Are you. Two billion?..."Happy 4-1/2 billionith birthday, E.

[Tremendous Upside]

Crazy couple of days...Final picks coming later this afternoon

I don't really know where you stand on anything. If you have categories you're looking for, send me a list and I'll see if I have any suggestions (probably would!). Right now my timing is weird as I'm in Bali (poor me), so sorry if delayed.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

I can finish up Mister CIA except for "shooting a movie scene"

SCENES

 

[Dr. Octopus]

I can finish up Mister CIA except for "shooting a movie scene"

SCENES

Some really great picks here for this point in the draft - I especially like the Papillon, Temple and Depp picks.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

I also love the Caddyshack scene - but view it more as comedic, than sports.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Yeah, I should probably pick a different sports scene.

Let's take this one from "Invincible" instead.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Hey what happened to the no mulligans rule?

I kid, I kid. Anything to finish this thing.

 

[timschochet]

updating now...

 

[timschochet]

So Mister CIA still owes 3 picks, Tremendous Upside owes 3 picks, and Tiannamen Tank owes 2 picks.

As for Hooter 311, I am now looking for a volunteer to finish off his draft. If no one volunteers by tomorrow morning, I will do it.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Here's two more for Mister CIA

Outer Space – Pitch Black

Drugs – Brick

Edit: And the last for "Movie within a movie" - Chubby Rain in Bowfinger

 

[KarmaPolice]

As for Hooter 311, I am now looking for a volunteer to finish off his draft. If no one volunteers by tomorrow morning, I will do it.

I will throw some out there from my lists. If other people have better options they can overrule me or give out something better. I realize some of these are stooping pretty low:

Sex - Body of Evidence

went through a few tissue boxes in HS because of this one

England - Green Street Hooligans

i guess I had soccer on my mind

Classroom scene -


the ending is bad enough to make me not attracted to asian women

Dramatic actor in comedic role - John C. Reilly in Step Brothers

might be a little bit of a stretch, but was mostly in dramatic parts until he started teaming up with will ferrell

Scene that scared you: Meeting Sloth in The Goonies

funny to think about it now but a lot of stuff creeped me out from the goonies - sloth, the old lady, the stiff...

I count that he owes 12, and I can't think of anything for Car Chase, Gambling, Parent, or monologue.

 

[timschochet]

I will add those:

Car Chase- Cannonball Run-

 

[timschochet]

And here is Mister CIA's shooting a movie scene:

Peter O' Toole in Stunt Man:

 

[KarmaPolice]

There is a romantic gesture I cant believe didn't get picked. Can we post our extras yet?

 

[AcerFC]

In a movie full of excellent classroom scenes, I can't decide which one I like best, so I'll take the movie and make a final scene decision before End Of Draft.

How did 16 candles not get picked for romantic gesture? Jake shows up after the wedding with sam's panties and a birthday cake! What else does a guy have to do to make our list?

Because K4 hates girly things

Simey was trying to champion an officer and a gentleman

Even krista's cold heart would melt if jake showed up with her lost panties.

I'd like to go with The Puppy Who Lost His Way, please.

 

[Doug B]

This seem accurate

classroom scene

15. Freedom Writers

Acer, for the Freedom Writers classroom scene, you really need to also watch at least the first 90 seconds or so of the Italian-dubbed clip that I linked. Miep Gies' entrance, and the students' reaction, is a essential part of the scene. That part loses no impact whatsoever from the dubbing.

You avoided taking An Officer and a Gentleman because you thought Krista hate the scene? She well might, just trying to follow the thought process.

No, I wanted to take Arwen giving up her mortality. Simey was just surprised Officer had not been selected.

Agreed. But it's not all that "wtf", though (imho anyway, but I'm not the judge).

Yes, why they are there and what they are trapped in is always left to question, but once you establish they are trapped somewhere and need to get out, it's an easy movie to follow.

 

[timschochet]

Just realized that hooter, who hasn't been here in quite a while, is also our wtf judge. Not good.

I think there were parts in the movie that made no sense, and so it does cover the wtf category, and is a good pick for it. A lot of the movies selected are that way, and it's a bad category to begin with, IMO.

A really good pick for this category would have been Sucker Punch. If it wasn't for hot chicks in skimpy outfits shooting huge guns, I never would've paid $14 to see this movie. On opening night. With my wife.

She still hasn't let me off the hook for this one.

I took The Gambler last night for Hooters gambling pick, sorry.

 

[timschochet]

So we need one last pick for Tremendous Upside (gambling) and two picks from Tianammen Tank. And then I think we're good.
