timdraft #4: Movie Category Draft (10 Viewers)

Think this is round 11...just to avoid confusion.

12.15 Opening Scene, Who Framed Roger Rabbit -- Shooting a Movie Scene

Scene here

I might move this around, actually. I was originally considering it for scene that scared me as a child because the ending left me damn near traumatized, but I really don't think it was a 'children's' movie despite being rated PG and having a Disneyland attraction. I'll have to see how things play out.

Sorry I timed out, by the way. I didn't think my pick would be up so soon.

Yep, my bad. Edited for correction.

 
11.17 The Rocketeer - superhero movie

Category is just way too thin for me at this point, so taking this to be safe. :)

Good morning. I will take Kelly Leak's ALMOST a home run from The Bad News Bears/ sports scene.

I've watched this scene dozens of times, and I still feel the disappointment, even though I know what's coming...

Any chance of a YouTube clip? I have one for all the other picks, and it would just make things easier. TIA.

Is this the one?

No it isn't. And unfortunately I can't find it on Youtube.

Following the Lupus catch, the Bears are up again in the final inning, down 7-3. After two quick outs, the Bears somehow get the bases loaded. Kelly Leak is up, and the Yankees decide to walk him, even though it will walk in a run. Coach Buttermaker orders Kelly to hit the ball anyhow. Kelly steps into the pitch and hits it into deep center field. The Bears go crazy. The music from Bizet's Carmen plays dramatically as the Yankees fumble around trying to get the ball. All of the Bears on base score, and Kelly is headed for home just as the ball is thrown...there is a cloud of dust...and he is out. The Bears lose. It is epic tragedy.

 
You have the judge listed in the criteria post as being Val Rannous.

Speaking of judging, I'm throw the WTF category up for grabs. I was "nominated" to do it but really have no interest. In fact, I hate the category with the same fury of a thousand suns as I do the shooting a movie scene category.

I'll meander around the dregs of categories when we're done to see if there's another I could do instead. :)

Am I reading this right that we actually have no posted criteria for outer space movie, by the way?

Yes, because there is no judge. As of yet. I am accepting applications. Do you speak N'aavi?

Outer Space Criteria:

Val Rannous said:
Outer Space Judge ruling: I would say a prequel in the same universe with events that directly bear on the later pictures is part and parcel of the same franchise, in the same way that Star Wars episodes I-III are disallowed. So off the list it goes.

Hey, I never gave my criteria - has everyone already taken their space pictures?

40% - Quality of picture

30% - Relevance to category

30% - Popularity (both critical and box office)

Relevance in this category means outer space has to be involved somehow - the movie doesn't necessarily have to take place entirely in space - characters or things being there qualify it, but I will say being there will give it a boost over talking about it or meeting somebody from it. Still, if it's a crappy movie set entirely in space it's still a crappy movie. If it requires MST3K to make it watchable, it's not gonna score high - I'm looking at you, Trumpy.

Since outer space is a location that says nothing about the style of movie, I can say that anything goes here - drama, space opera, horror, comedy, thriller - whatever goes, goes.

You're right about Val.

Please don't abandon the "no idea" category. You're the only person qualified here who have seen at least SOME of these movies. If someone volunteers to replace you, great. But if nobody does, please promise you'll stay on as judge.

Make-up pick:

10.21: Pink hallucinates the "Crossed Hammers" dictatorship in Pink Floyd - The Wall (Dream Sequence)

...

I need to post the parameters of this series of scenes, and post links. Will do so shortly.
Click to expand...
Okay, this dream sequence

when Pink (Bob Geldof) is hallucinating in the back seat of the limo on his way to the concert. This is the scene directly after the "Comfortably Numb" scene, after Pink's manager (Bob Hoskins) finds an OD's Pink unconscious in his hotel room with little time to spare to make it to the show. Some standby paramedic shoots Pink up with something (amphetamines?) that "gets him going for the show".Under the influence of the drug, Pink experiences a series of hallucinations. As they're dragging him through the hotel and out back down the fire escape, he hallucinates the "worms eating into his brain" and himself being encased in some kind of organic goo. Once thrown into the back of the limo, he further hallucinates breaking out of the goo to turn into the fascist leader of the Crossed Hammers nation.

This is where my selected dream sequence begins (see link above). Pink experiences the entire concert, in his drugged state, as a neo-fascist rally. He also imagines scenes of terrorizing a countryside village in his fascist-leader guise, leading a squad of midless like-dressed jackboots. The iconic animated goose-stepping hammers sequence follows.

This dream sequence ends at 1:21:23, when the real-life Pink escapes the stage and retreats to private bathroom stall in the concert hall. As he confronts reality once again, he slowly yells "STOOOOP!" at the camera.

 
11.18 - Inherit the Wind - Courtroom scene

I can't believe this is still available.

(I reserve the right to pick any number of courtroom scenes from this movie.)

Man, you can't edit posts with links here - it just ruins them.

11.19 - Vin Diesel - Knockaround Guys - ("500 fights?") - Best Fight Scene

Just a brutal fight scene. It's a bar fight (the best kind), the town tough gets his ### kicked, and it's ridiculously one-sided. I love the way the dude's friends are all "ok then" as they fight.

oh I've seen it, a couple of times and own the DVD. I just wasn't sure which scene Tim was referring to, with no clip and/or time.Eta: I also don't feel like digging out the DVD from my closet, so if someone can find the clip it would be much appreciated.

500 fights, that's the number I figured when I was a kid. 500 street fights and you could consider yourself a legitimate tough guy. You need them for experience. To develop leather skin. So I got started. Of course along the way you stop thinking about being tough and all that. It stops being the point. You get past the silliness of it all. But then, after, you realize that's what you are.

Screw it, I'm willing to bet no one had this on their radar and I could have taken it last. But, I need something for this category and if I don't get it, I have to go back to the drawing board. It happens to be a favorite of mine. Someone make me feel better and tell me you at least thought about it

Didn't occur to me, but I love the movie. :thumbup:

 
Round 10

Paul Giamatti as Harvey Pekar in American Splendor - Best Portrayal of a real/historical person

I love this movie. Has to be top ten in best comedies over the past ten years.

Harvey Pekar is file clerk at the local VA hospital. His interactions with his co-workers offer some relief from the monotony, and their discussions encompass everything from music to the decline of American culture to new flavors of jellybeans and life itself. At home, Harvey fills his days with reading, writing and listening to jazz. His apartment is filled with thousands of books and LPs, and he regularly scours Cleveland's thrift stores and garage sales for more, savoring the rare joy of a 25-cent find. It is at one of these junk sales that Harvey meets Robert Crumb, a greeting card artist and music enthusiast. When, years later, Crumb finds international success for his underground comics, the idea that comic books can be a valid art form for adults inspires Harvey to write his own brand of comic book. An admirer of naturalist writers like Theodore Dreiser, Harvey makes his American Splendor a truthful, unsentimental record of his working-class life, a warts-and-all self portrait. First published in 1976, the comic earns Harvey cult fame throughout the 1980s and eventually leads him to the sardonic Joyce Barber, a partner in a Delaware comic book store who end ups being Harvey's true soul mate as they experience the bizarre byproducts of Harvey's cult celebrity stature.

Awards

 
11.25 - Christian Bale, Empire of the Sun - Child Actor

This role blew me away when I first saw it and still is one the most underrated Spielberg flicks. Bale nails it.

12.01 - Mad Dog vs Brothers in The Raid, Best Fight

Brutal is an understatement. This movie had SO many fights I could've chosen, but this fight is the best fight I have seen in movies in the last 10 years. HANDS DOWN. If you have not seen this movie, PLEASE do so. Non stop action from beginning to end.

 
I'm pleased so far as a judge, because I own all the selected movies so far, including Lagaan, which is one of only 4 (I think) cricket movies I have. It's going to be fun to see if anyone picks one I don't have in my collection.
