Poor excuse for not keeping up with a draft that we haven't officially started yet. :angry:

 
BTW, how anal are we going to be about spoilers while we are doing this? When starting my list I was noticing a few performances or scenes that are quite key and could spoil a movie for people who haven't seen them.

If you're uptight about spoilers you should quit now.

Bizzy and actually just thought about dropping out as a drafter altogether, but I'll sack up instead. I'll make a weak first round pick in just a few minutes after glancing at the cats, then I'll post judging criteria for "Superheroes" and "Dream Sequences" later tonight.

1.07 "Aliens" (1986) - Outer Space

Tough call between the sequel and the original, but since I can c-block anyone from taking the original thanks to THE RULE, I'm going to go with the sequel for its awesome, nonstop intensity, its world-building and, frankly, its ability to follow up a cinematic classic by being . . . another cinematic classic. And with some simply unbelievable action-adventure sequences to boot. The performances by Weaver and just about every single one of the Colonial Marines are fantastic.

"Get away from her, you #####."

:lol: Bite me. ;)

Just for that crack, I'm going to shut down this whole board in a couple of hours. Just watch me do it.

Yeah, you're probably right, and maybe the Outer Space Judge will kill me for this pick whereas "Alien" would have won. But I am NOT going to contend for winning a movie draft by any stretch of the imag, so I thought I'd go with the one of the two that I like better.

krista, shut it :no: :boxing: :unsure:

Clarifications:1. Once an actor/actress has been taken, can he/she be taken for a different role in a different category? Different role in the same category? (Please say yes.)2. Is "alcohol" a drug for purposes of drug movies?

Sorry about the delay here. I just got home from taking my 12 year old daughter and her friends to see "The Host". What a terrible, terrible film. Written by Stephanie Meyer, the same stellar woman who brought us the Twilight Saga. If anything, this was even worse, if that's possible. Naturally, my daughter adored it (or rather, she adored Team Jared and Team Ian.) Anyhow:1. I think each drafter can only take one actor once, but someone else can take the same actor. 2. Good question. I think so, yes.
 
I changed the title due to the lack of subtitles. Just to remind everyone: the clock starts tomorrow, one hour per drafter, from 10 am est to 7 pm est, off weekends.

 
I may need extra time just to find anything. Does anyone know if I can customize the font so I don't have to see Ariel or whatever this is.

 
Anybody take a PM for my 1st rounder? Preferably somebody who has already taken their first. Not sure how much I will have access in the morning tomorrow. Usually I don't care about getting skipped, but there are a couple picks I would love to make before I go on autoskip mode.

I guess I'm making our first round pick - was hoping my partner would, but during working hours his availability will be limited.

General rule for Team Norwood-Layne is put us on autoskip for the duration. But I would appreciate a PM today for the first round only.

 
For realz Classroom Criteria:

30% Does it take place in a classroom. I dont think ball field or teachers rooms count for this category. Lets keep it to strictly classroom

20% Is it a relaistic classroom scene. As much as I love stripper scenes in classrooms, lets face it, best classroom scene needs to be a little on the realistic side. I will judge this based on my 14 year teaching experience

50% How good of a scene is it. This may be a bit subjective but that is what will set my list aside from the other hundred jabronies who made their own lists

This is open for discussion until the first classroom scene comes off the board. Once it does, lock it up

1.10: Robert Shaw's telling of the USS Indianapolis incident in Jaws (monologue)

Japanese submarine slammed two torpedoes into our side, chief. It was comin' back, from the island of Tinian to Laytee, just delivered the bomb. The Hiroshima bomb. Eleven hundred men went into the water. Vessel went down in twelve minutes. Didn't see the first shark for about a half an hour. Tiger. Thirteen footer. You know how you know that when you're in the water, chief? You tell by lookin' from the dorsal to the tail. What we didn't know... was our bomb mission had been so secret, no distress signal had been sent. Huh huh. They didn't even list us overdue for a week. Very first light, chief. The sharks come cruisin'. So we formed ourselves into tight groups. You know it's... kinda like ol' squares in battle like a, you see on a calendar, like the battle of Waterloo. And the idea was, the shark comes to the nearest man and that man, he'd start poundin' and hollerin' and screamin' and sometimes the shark would go away. Sometimes he wouldn't go away. Sometimes that shark, he looks right into you. Right into your eyes. You know the thing about a shark, he's got...lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eye. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be livin'. Until he bites ya and those black eyes roll over white. And then, ah then you hear that terrible high pitch screamin' and the ocean turns red and spite of all the poundin' and the hollerin' they all come in and rip you to pieces.
Y'know by the end of that first dawn, lost a hundred men! I don't know how many sharks, maybe a thousand! I don't know how many men, they averaged six an hour. On Thursday mornin' chief, I bumped into a friend of mine, Herbie Robinson from Cleveland. Baseball player, boson's mate. I thought he was asleep, reached over to wake him up. Bobbed up and down in the water, just like a kinda top. Up ended. Well... he'd been bitten in half below the waist. Noon the fifth day, Mr. Hooper, a Lockheed Ventura saw us, he swung in low and he saw us. He's a young pilot, a lot younger than Mr. Hooper, anyway he saw us and come in low. And three hours later a big fat PBY comes down and start to pick us up. You know that was the time I was most frightened? Waitin' for my turn. I'll never put on a lifejacket again. So, eleven hundred men went in the water, three hundred and sixteen men come out, the sharks took the rest, June the 29, 1945. Anyway, we delivered the bomb.

Still one of my favorite scenes ever...

1.11 The Child Catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang- scene that scared me as a kid

It's been over 40 years since I first saw this film. But even watching the clip now, there is something still very creepy about this guy- his little dance, the smirk on his face as the kids come out from their hiding place, the horror on the faces of the grownups as they warn the kids to stay away (but, mysteriously, the grownups do nothing more than warn the kids- they never actually try to stop the guy.)

Sure the whole thing is somewhat corny (as is the entire movie) but it works. And it scared the crap out of me.
