Are the votes only revealed once it's over?

[Hazell]

Are the votes only revealed once it's over?

Yep.

[Chakan]

Yep.

oooooh suspense!

[Betty Blue]

Thanks Nicholls. I take back everything I said previously.

[Sheer Magnetism]

Like I said in the other thread, Nicholls' selection is my pick from the two. Airplane and Princess Bride are really the only ones from Chakan's selection I'm really into, and I don't think PB really works in the family movie category anyway.

Each to their own, but disagree that Princess Bride doesn't work as a family movie, it's literally the perfect family movie. Could it work as adventure/romance as well, of course, but it fits just as well.

[Samie]

My good friend Chakan, thought's on the 90's film Showgirls?

[Chakan]

masterpiece cinema?

[Samie]

Good answer, you want the vote?

[Chakan]

Lol, pick your favorite Samie, it's all good

[Lastrador]

Have to agree with that. Much like The Simpson, kids will certainly enjoy it but some of the humour will fly over their heads, which makes it enjoyable for grown-ups too. So in that sense, it's the perfect family movie. Unlike something like The Neverending Story, that's more of a kid's flick. Still delightful though, and people should vote for whoever picked that.

[Chakan]

Did the voting time change? Says it closes tomorrow?

I think the minimum time you can set up a poll is one day, so Haz will have to manually close the vote at 7:30. Nervous much?

Got my finger on the button

Oh right, fair enough!

Nah whatever the outcome, no shame in losing in this group. I'd like to win, but it was so close.

[Chakan]

Maybe carry on with the other groups and we circle back to this?!

[Betty Blue]

PENALTIES!

Chakan and Nicholls choose 5 takers and one keeper from each of their fiims, and we decide who wins.

[Musketeer Gripweed]

Shit. Missed the vote.

[Crosby Nick]

It’s tight but I had Nicholls as my top choice when there was 4 of them so have to go with him again.

[Hazell]

I can unlock it for another hour?

[Chakan]

I can unlock it for another hour?

Sure go for it

[Hazell]

Unlocked until 9.00pm.

[Musketeer Gripweed]

I went with Chakan, only because I had thought about using more of his movies than Nicholls. Overall though, there is nothing in it.

Good luck guys.

[Hazell]

Bump, around 25 minutes left.

Both really strong but I went with Chakan, even though The Thing is one of my favourite horrors of all time. The Princess Bride might have swung it.

Are people tortured or killed in The Simpsons? Is Princess Bride listed as a family film on Letterboxd? It was just an observation in passing, but there is a reason it got a PG rating.

Well, the Itchy and Scratchy cartoons got pretty messed up at times. And yes it's listed as that on letterboxd.

[Lastrador]

Well done Musketeer, now Nicholls will always remember you as the guy who made him miss out on a final. For the newbies, That's how bad blood and old grudges are created.

Wow that was so close. Really nothing between anyone in the group.

[Musketeer Gripweed]

I meant no harm, honest. Never want to be seen as the bad guy. I'll keep my mouth shut from now on though. Lesson learned.

[Betty Blue]

Haha please don't, mate. You're a welcome addition to the draft family.

Just kidding mate, no one takes voting that seriously. Nicholls won the last one so don't think he will be that bothered.

Anyway, that was a really hard group. Well done Chaks!

[Musketeer Gripweed]

We doing the 70's next?

(He says, trying to change the subject...)

[Hazell]

Well done Chakan, unlucky Nicholls, close one that.

Next set of matches up:

(He says, trying to change the subject...)

Or the 00's and leave the 70's for last?

[Betty Blue]

Or the 00's and leave the 70's for last?

I'd happily do a combined 60s and everything before draft too, though I don't know how interested other people would be.

10s to present day might also be worth a go.

Yeah, I would love to do a pre-70s draft, but don't know how many would be interested. A 10s to present day would be great too, and probably be more accessible.
