Just Star Wars should do fine.Yankee/Wikkid, how do want me to write this pick up?? Star Wars Score?I have to congratulate wikkid on opening the composition category as he has. It's too stuffy a category without the flexibility given. Good job. With that said, my pick is now a very solid one to me and not taken too early at all.
i should think they'd all be in the top half (EKN would have been in the bottom 1/4 as a comp). they'll each get a comment in the judging. not a Dylan fan but understand his importance (took the 1st Bobby Z song in the acoustic draft, f'rinstance - wasnt Rolling Stone though). wont give definitve answers except on 20s (and, possibly 1s) cuz the co-judge will have a llot to say about it.
60 Minutes has investigated, and declares that M*A*S*H* mashes Trek
I have it down in my notes as Empire Strikes Back soundtrack. It was used in the movies that followed as well, so while I think we can include the entirety of the composition, I don't want to get greedy either. But, for example, the Imperial March played a powerful role in the movie that followed, and was also used in the 3 that pre-followed after that. It's the backbone of the music of the series, but again I don't want to be greedy and say my composition must be the collective movements of 6 movies.Unless the judge wants me to. In that case, Woo-#######-hoo.Yankee/Wikkid, how do want me to write this pick up?? Star Wars Score?I have to congratulate wikkid on opening the composition category as he has.

i think he wanted "Empire" cuz of the Vader theme. cant have em all.Yankee/Wikkid, how do want me to write this pick up??

If Tim is really quitting as comish, I am starting a draft Rodg12 for commissioner movement.
In order to preserve fairness and draft integrity, I would be fine with calling a ceae fire until DougB can catch upBut I am not a selfish
who measures self-worth by getting patted on the butt over these selections
I thought **** Cheney was Darth Vader. I didn't know he played in a Symphony.
Then you have a different view of this draft than every other person involved.Wait...we already knew that.
I know. I couldn't help but link that one.
1/2 seconded. He has been
on keeping this stuff going.ETA: BobbyLayne, too, when he's around.
But, one of the criteria that everyone is using is some form of lasting power and attachment to culture(s). Did the thing last a long time and was it or is it still iconic? Can't you say for something like this that everything that was birthed from it should be taken into account? I understand the problem there. The first in anything will therefore always be the best in the category. No democratic document written after the MAgna Carta compares, for example. But I don't know if this is the same thing. The universe created by the oriignal show is the same universe in all the rest of the works that spawned from it.Then you have a different view of this draft than every other person involved.Wait...we already knew that.
It is not whole body of work theory, so eff that criteria right now.
You are judging that work and that work alone.
Cool. Empire it is.i think he wanted "Empire" cuz of the Vader theme. cant have em all.Yankee/Wikkid, how do want me to write this pick up??

i would very much support this, if he'll do it. he's certainly been the MVP of the day2day. my 1st choice would be to have tim continue - cuz we all know he wants to & is such fun to lather up - but i would prefer rodg to myself. smooth conduct of this thing is the 1st criteria & too many people resent my skills as a visionary & lukewarm sentiments about central heating for me to be the best replacement option.
FWIW, I pretty much resent everybody.

Thanks. I'd do it, but wikkid will be better on the rulings and such. More experience and depth of knowledge in the categories than myself.I will continue to keep track of things and outlining who's up as best I can, though (hattip to BL, Krista, Mister CIA and anyone else who's done this). Seems to help move things along.
If that's what you want, I'm game.
Epoch-changingFor my next pick I will select Genedoc/Bonzai's Great Works draft, wildcard
First, the highlighted is not true.Second, that would be great if you take over Rodg- you can either do it right now, or wait until round 31. Your choice. Krista and Doug will stay on as your co-judges, and I will stay out of it.One favor, though: sometime in the next two weeks, I would like you to copy the first two posts of this thread and start a new thread- it could be called, "Great Works Draft Part Two". That way, you could continue to update the OPs while I am gone.
Splitting the draft in half makes sense to me. I'll definitely take care of the second thread where I can keep track of the track in the next couple weeks.
That's great. I'll stay on as commish until the end of round 30; then this thread will close and the new one will start.
Star Trek = The US Constitution, eh.Excellent grouping for comparison purposes.
I don't know if this hurts or helps your cause, but this is the only classical composition I've ever wanted to mosh to.
Please don't goAre you working on a new novel or something?
Not to diss my partner, but even though Star Trek only ran 3 seasons, it was groundbreaking in many ways. It was one of the first racially integrated shows; they even had the BALLS to cast a RUSSIAN as the pilot (or whatever Chekov did) during the Cold War. It wasn't just a good show, like the very best of sci-fi, it was a vision expressed in dramatic form. Hence its staying power and subsequent cult following.Plus Kirk banged anything that moved. You have to respect that. While people were trying to end segregation, Kirk is on the tube swinging his salami at green chicks.
A lot of good posting in one place.
you guys need to pick a painting. Not a series
'borny can do it when he gets in. He's the art guy.
Jeez - specialized drafting
Please continue to skip me if I'm not online to make my pick within 5 minutes. Day time, Night time, Miller time, it doesn't matter.
