HTF Movie Draft! Join in quick! (1 Viewer)

[Andrew_Sch]

I'm up and I'm taking Pulp Fiction !!!!

 

[Brian Kissinger]

You'll get yours, Kissinger

Wow, so many ways to take that statement.

1. Rain is gonna get even with me by taking one of my favorites. I doubt that's very likely considering he hates everything I like.

2. Rain is making a pass at me. Considering he's turned me down four straight times, again not likely.

3. Rain plans on making a long drive to Ohio, and inducing harm to my person or property. Considering he's a pacifist (or so I think I remember him posting) again not likely.

4. Rain plans on posting those snapshots I sent him. Considering the pictures in question would get him banned, not likely.

5. Rain plans on making the aforementioned long drive, and forcing me to watch Children of Paradise over and over again. I pray, not likely.

6. Rain plans on putting The Princess Bride up against movies I haven't seen in all his tourneys. Oh wait, he's already done that. Nevermind.

7. Rain plans on secretly PMing all forum members telling them that I kick puppy dogs and make babies cry for fun. Thus beginning the anti-Kissinger movement. Possible.

8. Rain actually planned on doing nothing, but was given great ideas by my ignorant ramblings, and now plans on completing them all. oops


Sorry about grabbing one of your faves pal, it's one of the few we agree on.

No worries. That post was frickin' hilarious.

So let me make sure I understand something. I am the last person on this draft round, but once I make my pic is it my turn again since the order reverses?

In other words, do I pick 2 movies when it's my turn or just 1?

 

[Scott Weinberg]

You pick two movies, Rain: one to end Round 2 and one to start Round 3.

I'll jump in somewhere to update the Main Post and offer my inane comments.

Stoner, you're up!!!

 

[Rain]

Stoner, you're up!!!

What are you talking about? It's not my turn yet....oh, you're talking about Matt...never mind then.

 

[Matt Stone]

Sorry, wasn't paying attention...
I'll go with Taxi Driver.

 

[Matt Pelham]

Man, my picks are getting snagged right and left now! I hate it but at the same time it's very exciting and tension filled. I'm going on record to say "I love this tourney idea!"

 

[Justin_S]

I'll take the masterpiece that is MULHOLLAND DR.

 

[Matt Stone]

I'm going on record to say "I love this tourney idea!"

Same here...I know it's early, but bravo, Scott...great concept.

 

[Rain]

I'll take Schindler's List and Children of Paradise.
Back to you, Justin...

 

[Justin_S]

I'll take ROSEMARY'S BABY.

 

[Rob Tomlin]

I'll take Schindler's List and Children of Paradise.

Why does Rain get to pick TWO movies? Is he special?
Edit: nevermind!

:b

 

[Scott Weinberg]

Stoner, Bergeron, and Case!

 

[Rain]

Is he special?

Although that isn't why I picked two movies, as you seem to have realized.

Scott Weinberg, congratulations, you have my two favorite films of all-time. I shall now kill you.

 

[Scott Weinberg]

So why'd you take Citizen Kane?

 

[Andrew_Sch]

I thought that LOTR:FOTR might last till my next pick. Still I'm happy with my current stable and am looking to be a lot happier if a certain movie that shall remain nameless isn't taken in the next three picks.
