No. What I mean is: if you draft Robert De Niro, you choose: do I want him as a legendary star or modern star? No matter which you choose, you get to use all of his films, both before and after 1980, for the judging. It doesn’t make any of those films off limits to be drafted elsewhere.
Imo it goes against the point of "modern" if we can take Deniro and put him in modern because he made movies since the 80s.
I considered this. But it’s not fair to Bob. While I think it’s important to have a dividing line, the year chosen of 1980 is purely arbitrary. For someone like DeNiro or Scorcese who straddles the line, you’re punishing them by being forced to choose between what they produced before 1980 and after 1980, whereas with other actors and directors you get the whole output simply due to the fact of when they were born. If we are going to have a draft that compares Humphrey Bogart to Robert DeNiro, then let’s compare them. But comparing Bogart’s entire career to only the films DeNiro made before 1980 is weird. So I say that if you chose DeNiro as your legendary actor you still get his entire career.
That's fine, but maybe we do a cut off of 90s or something?
I think what he’s saying is if their “legendary” you should get the whole career but if modern you only get Post-1980
You draft one movie from each category. Once a movie/person is taken, it can’t be drafted again for another category. You can draft from the categories in any order you please.
Draft in any order. I believe tim is fine with switching picks to another category later in the draft too.
I think it’s weird drafting DeNiro as a legendary actor. Guess it depends what age you are lol
Fair enough. Lol.
Don’t forget too: the category is not actor but movie star- that’s an important distinction.
You may be the one that has to judge it then lol. I think everyone else has actor/actress in mind.
I don’t mind.
Might be a good time to lay out the bolded a little more fully -- I think hagmania is right.
The greatest movie stars of all time are by definition going to be leading actors. A supporting actor is someone who has spent most of their career in that role.
Ohhh I see it's a lifetime type deal. That makes sense. I was in "role" mode but when considering body of work it makes more sense.
I was kind of thinking of the Supporting roles as career character actors, even though tim didn't say so explicitly.
Earthbound sci-fi (esp "soft" science fiction) is essentially fantasy in a different guise, anyway.
Cool, thanx. Are there any websites where I can do mock drafts? I don't even know all the current ADP's.
Love it, now we're talking. Anything that gets <<SPOTLIGHTING>> a chance to be drafted.
Having a separate Fantasy category and maintaining Space-based Sci-Fi and Earthbound Sci-Fi? Sounds good.
You could have taken Space Jam in the animation category without mucky the rules up further.
Cmon man, we talked about that as our pocket pickYou could have taken Space Jam in the animation category without mucky the rules up further.
Eligible in several categories:You could have taken Space Jam in the animation category without mucky the rules up further.
If you draft a person you don’t get all the movies right? Just people v people, movie v movie right?
Correct. Someone can draft Vin Diesel and another can draft The Pacifier. Drafting Vin doesn't lock out his movies for others.
