Topic: Draft Towers

[Samie]

Let's do something...anything. 

[Hazell]

Movie draft on the previous page?

I'm happy to set it up/run it.

[Samie]

Yeah, do it.

[Hazell]

I might be able to run it next week. The idea is pretty simple if someone else wants to take it on though.

Same categories as we've done throughout with tweaks if needed. But this time we celebrate EVERY decade. So we each pick -

1x 40s, 1x 50s, 1x 60s, 1x 70s, 1x 80s, 1x 90s, 1x 00s, 1x 10-20s and maybe the wildcard can be an extra one in any decade.

One small twist I was thinking of, though I have a feeling it may ruffle a few feathers! Is to have no repeat picks. So if you took part in the 90s draft and you picked Blade Runner, then you are now barred from picking Blade Runner in this draft. I know this gives new drafters a bit of an advantage, but it's just all a bit of fun at the end of the day. Still, if everyone is against then no worries. Just an idea to mix things up 

This ok? Can't think of any changes.

[Betty Blue]

This ok? Can't think of any changes.

Looks good, mate. Just need to decide on the categories we're using. Sorry I'm snowed in and have no time to run it right now.

I was planning to call it the Super Ultimate Last Ever* Film draft, but maybe it needs a more serious title 

*Not really

[Hazell]

I've listed a few below and removed the indie film/blockbuster picks.

* 1 Foreign language film.
* 1 black and white film
* Only 1 movie per director.
* No repeated lead actors.
* No repeat picks by the losers who participated in the other movie drafts.

Was also thinking 1 x 1940's pick should be 1 x pre-1950's pick.

Edit: Forgot to add categories:

Cat 1. Action/War/Western
Cat 2. Thriller/Crime
Cat 3. Adventure/Fantasy
Cat 4. Drama/Romance
Cat 5. Comedy
Cat 6. Sci-Fi
Cat 7. Horror
Cat 8. Animation/Family
Cat 9. Wildcard (pick whatever you like)

Sequels Draft next? 

[Prof]

Sequels Draft next? 

Wayne's World 2 > Wayne's World

[Samie]

 

Hiya me old mucker. 

[telekon]

Sequels Draft next? 

This would favour action and superhero movies. Not everyone's cup of tea.

I still like the idea of a draft where previous picks are not allowed. It would favour deep cuts, fun obscure choices, niche picks, and most importantly remove the Godfather et. al. boredom.

Feel like we're a bit movie'd out now, we're just gonna end up doing movie drafts this time next year where it literally is just shit ones getting picked because we've done fifteen 1990s ones already

Maybe.....a football draft. Maybe thats why we're doing so crap, we've broken the cosmos.

Surely time for the Super Ultimate Football Movie Character draft. Pick a selection of fictional characters to play a game of football together. Iron Man in goal, Darth Vader up front, Jaws at DM.

[Draex]

To finish off movies.. Greatest Film and TV Characters..

Honestly, I would love this too. There are still so so many great films not yet picked, but not sure whether people have the desire for more film drafts....?

Once we move on we're probably not doing another film draft in a long long time though, so we may as well burn it out anyway

Not sure everyone is, but I'm well up for the last movie draft... before we do the next last movie draft.

Me too

[Musketeer Gripweed]

Is Confessions of a Window Cleaner still available?

[Sheer Magnetism]

Yeah, I'd be up for that one at some point, as long as it skipped every movie in the decades drafts too. Really freshen things up. Might have to skip the kids picks though, we've probably exhausted those.

[Samie]

How about a Director's Draft? 

We pick say 6 films of theirs from diffrent genres films from a pool of pre selected Directors chosen at random?

[AndyMuller]

Do a draft that doesn't involve Samie posting in the Film thread every 2 seconds please folks.

[classycarra]

Late catching these messages but count me in on the deep cuts film draft idea too!

[Hazell]

Are we doing this?

[Draex]

Are we doing this?

[Hazell]

I wouldn't really mind but I don't have time to run it right now.

Also, was thinking, to make it easier, we could do away with the genres but keep the 1 director/lead actor rule and maybe say something like at least 3 different decades must be represented.

[Hazell]

Anyone still up for this?

[Max_powers]

Yeah sure I will be down for whatever draft comes next

[Hazell]

I'll get a thread set up then. We can start as soon as, anything to get away from football

[Crosby Nick]

No more movie drafts, I beggeth thee.

[Hazell]

No more movie drafts, I beggeth thee.

TV show draft? I know you're a huge Breaking Bad fan.

[Betty Blue]

No more movie drafts, I beggeth thee.

This is the last one. Promise*

Spoiler

*Narrator: It was not the last one.

[close]

[Hazell]

Yep, last one. No movies that have already been picked.

[Samie]

2 weeks till season ends, should we think about restarting these? I think a new superhero draft is up next.

[red1977]

With the season about to end. Is there anyone up for a footy draft?.

[Samie]

Let's get something going.  Time for all sorts of drafts during this period. 

[Hazell]

Football is shit. Another movie draft!

[Samie]

Let's get something gonig for fucks sakes.

[NICHOLLS]

Who’s in for an NBA Draft?

4 year peak (1979-80 to 2023-23 seasons)

10 player roster.

[Sheer Magnetism]

I'd definitely be up for that, not sure how many we'd be able to get in total though.
