Directors The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (and Villains) Draft! (1 Viewer)

[Brad Porter]

Villain Pick

Evil: "When I have the map, I will be free, and the world will be different, because I have understanding."
Robert: "Understanding of what, master?"
Evil: "Digital watches. And soon I will have understanding of videocassette recorders and car telephones. And when I have understanding of them, I shall have understanding of computers. And when I have understanding of computers, I shall be the Supreme Being! God isn't interested in technology. He knows nothing of the potential of the microchip or the silicon revolution. Look how he spends his time: forty-three species of parrots! Nipples for men!"
Robert: "Slugs."
Evil: "Slugs! He created slugs! They can't hear, they can't speak, they can't operate machinery. If I were creating the world, I wouldn't mess about with butterflies and daffodils. I would've started with lasers, eight o'clock, day one."

Evil (from Time Bandits if you are so mercifully free of the ravages of intelligence)



Brad

 

[SteveGon]

Scott has about four hours left on his turn.

I'll be at work all day so skip me - Jan can go ahead and make his pick. Then it's Martin X 2 and back to Jan.

 

[Jan H]

HERO: Bugs Bunny

 

[MartinTeller]

Oooh goody, my turn!

snikt!


GENTLEMAN: Wolverine


And this one is the non-human character I was hinting at earlier. If this is an unacceptable choice, just let me know and I'll change it.



VILLAIN: Cthulhu

 

[Jan H]

Bad Guy: Amon Goeth (Schindler's List)

 

[Scott Weinberg]

Villain:

Dracula!

 

[SteveGon]

So I lied.

I'll take:




Boba Fett



Adding some pathos and brute strength to my roster of heroes:



Frankenstein's Monster

 

[SteveGon]

Scott is up.

 

[Brad Porter]

I already took Dracula. Steve just hasn't put it on the front page yet.

So... "Blaaaaah!" - or whatever Dracula says.

Brad

 

[SteveGon]

My bad. Scott needs to make two picks.

On deck:

Brad
Mike
Brian

 

[Scott Weinberg]

You guys stink! Boba Fett was my second choice after Dracula. What are the odds, eh?

Ah well. I got two ladies this time.

Hero: Ellen Ripley

Villain: The Wicked Witch of the West

 

[MartinTeller]

Heh, I was considering both of those.

 

[Brad Porter]

Ladies, eh?

All right, then...

Sydney Bristow



Brad

 

[SteveGon]

Brad & Scott: excellent picks!


Mike is up.

On deck:

Brian
Nick X2
Brian

 

[MartinTeller]

I've been thinking about this, and even though Cthulhu is a total badass and I hate to lose him, he just doesn't fit in with the spirit of the thing. Steve, could you please replace him with:



Dr. Doom

 

[SteveGon]

Martin: no problem. FWIW, I'd considered a Lovecraft character Herbert West from Re-Animator
but ultimately went with someone else.

Mike's turn is over.

Brian is technically up, but I know he's at work so Nick can go ahead and go - I doubt very much if he'll score any of Brian's picks.

 

[Nick Sievers]

Hero:

Jack Burton



I was considering Buzz Lightyear for my last hero but in reality all he has is a blinking light and karate chop action.

Villian:

Agent Smith



No matter what you think of the Matrix, you can't deny that Hugo Weaving makes a damn good villian.

 

[SteveGon]

Nick: good picks. (Though frankly I'm surprised that another Kurt Russell character hasn't been picked.)

Re: Hugo Weaving. Check out his performance in Proof (assuming you haven't seen this undeservedly obscure film which co-stars Russell Crowe).

Captain Ron ?

Sometimes it can be hard to find obscure films at my local DVD library. But i'll be sure to try and find it, I really enjoy Hugo Weaving as an actor.
