Nicholls, Telekon, and Max. I've PMed them all.

[Hazell]

Max PM'd me yesterday, he's sitting this one out.

Happy to start this officially on Tuesday morning but will try and get the thread set up tonight.

I've told all the guys I PMed they have 'til Monday to get in on it, so maybe leave drawing the order til tomorrow morning. Possible we get some late arrivals.

Also, where's Nick the draft whore?

Joking aside, I could easily actually pick that as my opening gambit

Incredible movie.

[Draex]

Surely we need a new catagory which is must include the number 7 in the title?

[Betty Blue]

Doesn't look like we're getting any more joining, bar Nicholls. I had a few replies of interest, but no solid bites. Telekon still not been online for a week either. Hopefully he's all good.

[Sheer Magnetism]

I said I'd be up for this - can't see my name on the draft order list?

[Hazell]

I said I'd be up for this - can't see my name on the draft order list?

Sorry, now updated.

I'll get the draft order sorted shortly and we can start officially at 9.00am tomorrow but obviously picks can be made in the meantime.

I won't be online much during the day but we normally give a bit of leeway in terms of times for first picks anyway

[Draex]

First pick?

I laughed 

[classycarra]

Oh god, the burden of choice. Now I see I'm third, suddenly the mind goes blank for my pick!

[Chakan]

Ooof long wait for me

[killer-heels]

Whats the situation behind using some of the previous picks from other posters in the pre 80’s draft? Frowned upon or inevitable?

It’s only your own previously made picks you can’t use. Everybody else’s are fair game.

[red mongoose]

Ooof long wait for me

Me too, but it might not be bad to get a look at what everyone is doing early.

[classycarra]

Can someone remind me, as the draft develops are we allowed to tweak where our selection fits in our lineups?

Like if we have a film that fits across three categories, can we swap where it was initially labelled Thriller category to be a Drama choice sometime the next day?

[Samie]

Think that's fine mate.

We aren't normally. At least we haven't in any of the previous incarnations. So in theory you need to decide in the round you pick them. Could consider making this one more flexible? But could get a bit messy for Hazell if we're swapping genres around.

[Musketeer Gripweed]

I honestly don't know where I am going to start with this one.

Yeah, that's fine for me, unless other people have a problem with it.

It's ok, if I spot an invalid pick, I'll let the person know. It might be that I spot it right at the end, in which case, they may need to change their pick then

[classycarra]

Yeah, that's fine for me, unless other people have a problem with it.

Cheers for clarifying! I'll do my bit by keeping on top of mine and making sure to share updated overview lists if any edits do happen.

[telekon]

I can join if it's not too late. 

[Samie]

Not too late mate, we've not even officially begun. 

[Hazell]

I can join if it's not too late. 

Added you to the list after Pete mate

[Betty Blue]

I was going to be more tactical, but then I was like fuck that it's my favourite film ever.

[telekon]

Noooooooo!  :'(

This was one of two films I really wanted to pick. But who am I kidding believing this would be up for grabs.

Director's Cut right? Not the original or The Final Cut with the camp as fuck voice-overs?

My go-to is the Director's Cut, but I know some prefer the Final Cut. And actually my first watch through of Blade Runner was the original with the voice-overs, so I don't mind it for the nostalgia.

Glad you're on board with us, mate. Looking forward to seeing what picks you pull out in the various decades.

[Chakan]

Didn't even know we had started.

Already my movies are gone. Shameful.

[classycarra]

Nice. I was also getting bogged down thinking then just thought nah, pick one of your favourites.

I hadn't twigged that Blade Runner and The Thing were out the same year, along with E.T. That's two great Sci-Fi films, plus E.T.

Likewise my dude.

I appreciate that everyone will have their favourite, but for me the voice-overs changes it so much. The original/Final Cut is a campy bastardized neo-noir while the Director's cut is a vision, the best sci-fi made (with tough competition from Stalker).

There's so much to say about the film, but as an aside, check out the ambient/vaporwave album HKE. It's like being in the film.

Ha yes, I noticed that too. Wonder what the greatest single year in cinema is. Something to argue about after this draft...

The Thing is a masterpiece too. Good option for the horror genre as well.

Same. I could write a whole essay on it, and I probably did in film class 

Listening now. Not totally my music genre, but definitely getting a heavy Blade Runner vibe from it.
