[classycarra]

I suppose Samie's time is up since a while ago? Lastrador now, then John?

yeah think its john's time - lastrador (if still on holiday) said this

Btw. Just skip me during the day. I’ll get back on track in the night.

[John_P]

OK I'll take my next selection now then

[Sheer Magnetism]

Forgot that hip hop beats gif was from Whisper in the Heart! Nice selection.

Cheers mate. Balsam for the heart that one.

So, I needed to shoehorn in my choice #7 based on decade and genre, so I started scrolling, and found a great film and it wasn't on the list! I have serious doubts that this was not chosen before. Checked different spellings and everything. But if it's not in the list I suppose it's a green light. Waiting for Nicholls or mongoose to pick it now. 

[Lastrador]

Hi lads. Sorry for the delay. Just got back from a 13 hours flight, so still kind of wobbly. But now I can be full on draft mode. How many picks do I have to make?

[Titi Camara]

Has anyone been sniped on a selection? Surprised none of my picks were taken before me (famous last words obvs)

[red mongoose]

I think you need to make up two, mate, but I'd check with Hazell or one of the others to be sure.

[Samie]

I didn't get a PM dickheads. 

[Lastrador]

I think you need to make up two, mate, but I'd check with Hazell or one of the others to be sure.

Thanks mongie mate, I think you’re right. I will pick shortly.

[red mongoose]

Nicholls made his pick around two hours ago. Anyone have a problem if I drop my two now? I have to go out for a while.

obviously cant answer for hazell but think we are on a 2hr time so should be all good?

[Draex]

Sorry actually had real work to do! Gone now.

[Samie]

No one picked Slaughterhouse Five all this time? Seriously there's some great films that's still left.

[Betty Blue]

Love Kurt Vonnegut, but didn't even realise there was a film!

[Samie]

Hand in your Cinephile card Betts.

[Hazell]

Sorry actually had real work to do! Gone now.

Me too, all fucking day! Annoying isn't it?

Finished now and updated the selection thread with the picks. Think everyone's up to date now and telekon's up next.

[Hazell]

Yeah 2 hours, think it's going ok but if it starts to lag, might need to rethink it.

[telekon]

Will pick in a minute 

[telekon]

Shoot the Piano Player
(Cat 2. Thriller/Crime/Mystery, Pre-1970s)

Oh mate, so good.

[red mongoose]

Oh mate, so good.

Our Venn diagram for film would just be a circle 

[Samie]

Yer freaks.

[John_P]

Melancholia is a great film!

[Lastrador]

Melancholia is a great film!

Yeah mate, loved it. The opening is a thing of beauty.

[Samie]

The live action Wacky Racers. 

[classycarra]

Melancholia is a great film!

its been getting a lot of showings around the UK lately - gutted i missed a window the othet day, a I haven't seen it snice it came out and would be interested to revisit

[Lastrador]

Definitely a movie that’s worth revisiting mate, for better or for worse. Even though I loved it since the first watch, subsequent watches enhanced my appreciation for it. I’ve heard people for whom it had the opposite effect though. It’s always good to revisit some films I find, to see how they hold up after a while.

You tit! I wanted Twin Peaks Fire Walk With Me!

[Sheer Magnetism]

So, does the first wild card have to be a foreign film, or can the foreign film be represented in the other picks. Because if it's the first one, I want to change the categories of my existing picks.

[Titi Camara]

Love, Into the Wild, and, Melancholia. Both great films, was trying to fit in Melancholia but couldn't make it work with my other picks.

This quote pops into my head quite a bit..

[Hazell]

Having read the rules, yes, the first wildcard has to be a foreign film, I think everyone's picked according to that. No issue with changing the categories of your picks.

[Betty Blue]

Carra and Titi bringing out the trashy fun I expected 

[Titi Camara]

Adaptation was another one I had considered but just couldn't manage to fit it in.

[Draex]

Me too, all fucking day! Annoying isn't it?

Finished now and updated the selection thread with the picks. Think everyone's up to date now and telekon's up next.

Teams meetings from 1pm till 5pm on a fucking friday should be banned.

[Hazell]

I wanted to pick in one of the earlier drafts but couldn't fit it in either.

[Hazell]

Teams meetings from 1pm till 5pm on a fucking friday should be banned.

Ha I wish I had teams meetings. I got asked to do a piece of pain the arse work that needed to be done by Monday.

[Betty Blue]

How did Wings of Desire go unpicked! Nice one, Max

[Max_powers]

How did Wings of Desire go unpicked! Nice one, Max

I was surprised as well, found out last minute it was unpicked. I was ready to pick Back to the Future 2.

Bruno Ganz is amazing in it(as always). There is a scene where he is walking around the streets and smiling, his smile seems so genuine that without saying a word you know exactly how he feels.

[telekon]

Tokyo Story (1953)  -   Cat 6. Wildcard - Foreign Film

Nice one. Would've thought this had been picked. Remember talking about it at least.

[Samie]

Samie's at the familly BBQ lads, skip me. I have nice peace of meat looking at me right now instead of a phone. 

[Lastrador]

I go on then, as Samie gobbles on some juicy meat.
