How would you rank a movie that's better than the book? (if you think that exists)
What kind of great bad guy can be handled with something like sunlight and garlic?
I think the movie being better is fine. I just think finding a great movie and being like, "did you know this was based on a book from 1930? They bought the rights for $4 and changed it from a spy thriller to a sex comedy" isn't the idea here. These should be situations where the movie and book are popular.
Ok, that's awesome. Mostly I just get an eye roll when I say I am doing another one of these drafts from the household.
Vader is on a breathing tankWhat kind of great bad guy can be handled with something like sunlight and garlic?
My gut tells me one more than the other, but I also don't know if I think he is great at either. I need to think about this one.
It was in contention for first name too. We knew it was going to be part of his name somehow.
It's hard for me to think of movies that were better than the book, but there is one that I think is at least as good. And this was a book that was a Booker prize winner and an author who won a Nobel prize, so both the book and movie are top-rate. I wouldn't recommend anyone to draft it, as it probably wouldn't do well enough in judging since people are stupid. But at some point after picks have been made I'd love to hear other people's ideas of movies that are as good as the books.
One of my favorites. I probably would quibble about the category, but grew up watching a ton of horror and I have seen it listed a lot with the horror category so.
Have you seen the movies? LOL. He just sounds like James Earl Jones, likely a Jedi trick. He looks like if someone dumped blue cheese dressing all over an old head of cauliflower and stuck it under the salamander for 10 seconds.
Very surprised this lasted 20 picks. Like Krista said, this could take #1 in at least 3 categories.
Back to this, and I am probably arguing to argue, but I would need to be persuaded that they are the same thing. IMO a true sequel comes after the fact and wasn't mapped out from the start, at least if we are talking about all time sequels or giving scores and ####. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is a sequel just because it's the 2nd movie of a series?
This the best Deniro and the best Pacino performances IMO. That alone makes it historic. Then there is the music, the director, the novel, supporting cast, the cinematography, the production design. This is a perfect movie.
That's just digging too deep for this draft IMO. A sequel is any follow-up to a movie.
It's from Boogie Nights, right? Your boys were involved in a slapstick scene with Jessie's Girl playing in the background. I'll concede that Boogie Nights isn't a slapstick movie per se, it did have some slapstick in it.I am starting to think you don't know what my avatar is.
I agree with all that. They are also in different categories too, so for this we don't have to argue Bird and Jordan.
I think I know the book / movie you are talking about and just assumed it would / should be picked
Uh, I had a book in mind without looking it up, but I am not sure it's the same one. I might have to shoot you a PM.
Sequel - a work of literature, film, theatre, television, music or video game that continues the story of, or expands upon, some earlier work.
A literary work, movie, that is complete in itself, but continues the narrative of a preceding work.
I could see something like James Bond films not being considered sequels - is that what you mean?
For the purposes here, I think we know what a sequel is. We can draft and be judged and see what happens.
They occurred to me too. I guess a lot of what I was thinking about were a series of books that came out first and then movies were made of them - but like 80s is saying, I am probably just nitpicking and being a doosh.
You are free to take any Ernest movie after Ernest Goes to Camp and consider it a sequel.Evidently I don't!!
This is why I'll be designating all our future picks as Greatest Movie of All Time.
This doesn’t apply to me. All of my negative posts are made with full ill-intent in mind. Star Wars was a terrible pick. The Shawshank Redemption is overrated. Goonies is the worst pick yet. I hope I hurt some feelings.
Hey tim, if you’re updating the OP, you should update to say 16 in. Makes you look more popular, which I’m sure is important.
