timdraft #4: Movie Category Draft (5 Viewers)

[higgins]

16.07 - Highlander -

Great pick -- I'm a fan and this never occurred to me.

 

[krista4]

Great stuff. **** van Dyke in this movie was another consideration for me for multiple roles.

16.06 Bert Dances with the Penguin Waitstaff (Mary Poppins) - Dance Scene

 

[krista4]

I'm having a lot of trouble with some of the romantic gesture picks. This category was within the "scene" group, yet at least a couple of picks have not been scenes but have really been the entire movie, or at least a significant part. For instance, "Up" was a pick I loved (though I wasn't a big fan of the movie), but I don't know how I'm going to end up comparing apples to oranges.

I bet now you're wishing you hadn't dumped "No idea what this movie is about."

No, not at all.

16.8 - Duckie lets Andie go to her dreamboat - Pretty in Pink (romantic gesture)

First, Duckie surprises Andie by appearing at the prom for her. Then, despite being in love with her, he tells her that Jack came alone and she should go be with him. The truest of true loves.

(There don't seem to be clips of this movie.)

 

[krista4]

Aw crap. Just realized my next pick isn't eligible. Gonna need a minute.

 

[krista4]

16.9 The Hustler - gambling scene

For now I'll just take the first scene so that tim has something to put on the list, but I'm likely to change that.

[rikishiboy]

To whom may I send a pm?

 

[krista4]

Whew. Once I realized my child actor was 14 at the time of filming, I panicked for a pick. Glad it was well received.

Any hockey fans here?

Sat in some nice club level seats last night - 6th row, about 20 feet from the glass. Great game, blue shirts won a shootout.

What do we owe? One or two?

(these Qs never get answered)

15.13 Scenes gambling scene - Hatchet Harry's Rigged Game - Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels

Long-time friends Bacon (Jason Statham), Soap (Dexter Fletcher), Tom (Jason Flemyng), and Eddy (Nick Moran) put together £100,000 so that Eddy, a genius at cards, can buy in to one of Harry "The Hatchet" Lonsdale's (P. H. Moriarty) weekly high-stakes three card brag game. Harry learns that Eddy is a card savant from his bodyguard Barry "the Baptist" (Lenny McLean). Knowing that he cannot win he decides to fix the game. He does so by having Barry watch a feed from a camera hidden behind Eddy, and reveal Eddy's card values to Harry by a system involving a device hidden on Harry's leg. Eddy loses not only his £100,000 buy-in, but an additional £400,000 that Harry bullied him into borrowing to play out the biggest pot of the night. Harry demands repayment within a week. Knowing that Eddy and the others have slim chances of raising half a million pounds within a week, he pulls Eddy's father's bar into the deal as an alternative, in an attempt to get his own revenge on Eddy's father. Barry the Baptist tells Eddy that he will remove a finger from each of the four friends for every day the debt is overdue.

That was my first Rangers game - awesome experience. That's 8 of the 9 teams in the region I've seen now - only one I haven't seen is the Islanders. Maybe after they move to Brooklyn.

First hockey match I ever went to was Game Seven of the Rangers-Canucks Stanley Cup finals in 1994. Good way to start; I was pretty hooked after that.

So does hockey, in some instances. Here's one. Sorry but every pro hockey player I know, including the one I dated for over a year, calls them matches. They were pretty much all Canucks, so YMMV.

Where is everyone today

Gotta bolt, will pick tonight

 

[Tiananmen Tank]

16.11 The ending of The Mist -- Shocking Scene

Scene here

With the Mist encroaching, the remaining survivors (led by David) within the car decide that suicide is preferable to whatever it is that is coming for them. Four bullets, five people. David kills them all, including his son. He exits the car to wait for his death...and the Mist recedes. Tanks drive past. The ####### National Guard showed up seconds after he shoots his son and three others.

I don't even know what to say about this, guys. It's just...ugh. I felt like my soul was sucked and and walked around like an empty husk for at least a week after I saw this. It dominated every discussion my friends had. Brutal. I still don't really know how I feel about this.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Great ending because it didn't chicken out.

 

[Tiananmen Tank]

Where is everyone today

My life is meetings, work, and meetings until next Wednesday. I'm going to be at Coachella weekend 2 and need to get ahead the curve before I take off. Sorry guys.

Nice! I've never made it out of the 200s for a Kings game. Been a fan since the second Robitaille go-around, which is when I became old enough to start knowing what was going on. Missed out on Stanley Cup tickets and still regret not splurging for them and dealing with the consequences later.

 

[AcerFC]

Nick Vermiel is still not in thread so I am going to pick for Tish a few minutes early. If Nick wants the pick then he can have it if he shows up before he times out

i shudder to think what we're going to be taking in the last round

 

[Andy Dufresne]

17.03 -


Checked with the judge and he said it should be kosher even though the scene isn't officially in the courtroom as the jury room is actually an extension of the courtroom just with different rules.

This is a really good movie.

 

[AcerFC]

Had I thought to ask that, this would have been gone in round 1

**No argument, should have asked. Nice pick
