Welcome to the Quarter Finals (round here) of the DVDTalk Draft Tournament (2nd Edition)! In this
thread, the players drafted a roster of ten DVDs each. Now, it is up to you, the DVDTalk community, to vote on who has the best collection.

The winner of the game will win a copy of The Fly (Collector's Edition) courtesy of UpcomingDiscs.com.


For round 3, each of the round two winners have been randomly paired up. In order to vote, you need to reply to this post telling me who you think has the best roster. Your vote will not count unless you vote on every pair!

Players in the game are also allowed to vote. Optionally, they are also allowed to post to this thread telling everybody why they think you should vote for their collection.

So, let the voting begin! The polls close exactly 24 hours after the timestamp of this post (not counting weekends). Match-ups will be listed in the first reply to this post.

Good luck to all the participants!

4. The Ferret (can't let jfrost win twice in a row!!!)

Toben

Quick, Groucho, wish me good luck!

Franchot

I demand a recount. (I should have put this in bold letters and caps, but I'm a nice guy.)

In my last match-up against Cathespin, I tallied the total score as:

Franchot: 25
Cathespin: 9

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't I be in this quarter final round?

jfrost

Hmmm... I will re-count.

My votes:

1. Scott27 - Tough choice, I liked many of Toben's selections, but also disliked several. Toben probably had more highs/lows in my mind, but Scott27 has a very nice all-around collection. Thus, edge to Scott27.

2. Franchot - Wow, amazing collection. My pick to win it all.

3. Cleaver - Close call, but edge to Cleaver. The LotR EE box set, LoA superbit, Citizen Kane and Simpsons seal the deal.

4. The Ferret - Another close call. Very hard voting against jfrost. Both of these are excellent collections and in my top-3 of the remaining. So... coin flip... The Ferret is tails, tails it is.

Groucho

Franchot is correct. I just went back through the last thread and he's the clear winner of the last round.

Sorry Franchot... I don't know how I made that mistake. I have fixed the post. Everyone who voted... please edit your posts.

Nesbit

So would all Cathespin's votes be given to me as my collection was the second best in the matchup that people originally voted for?

jfrost

I am hoping the few people who voted for Cathespin will edit their posts. We will see how things pan out and make a decision accordingly.

Sweet Baby James

1. Toben
2. Franchot-bad break Mrs. Nesbit, I was going to vote for you until the correction was made.
3. Cleaver
4. The Ferret-toughest match-up.

jfrost

My votes...

1. Toben
2. Franchot (I owe you this pick)
3. Cleaver
4. jfrost

Franchot

Ha, ha. You are sneaky, aren't you? (You might want to consider a future in politics since you obviously know how to play the game.)

NatrlBornThrllr

1. Scott27
2. Franchot (relatively tough choice)
3. Cleaver
4. The Ferret

-JP

cleaver

1. Toben - Nothing matches up with Alien Quad and Beastie Boys is the only pick I missed in the round I wanted it all draft (damn you upset stomach!)
2. Franchot - looks better every round. Might have best adventure, thriller, romance (maybe best 2), comedy, drama, and TV show of all time. I only think that about the adventure, though (Truck? what truck?)
3. cleaver
4. The Ferret - my toughest matchup of the draft so far. I broke it down by round and gave it to Ferret 5-4-1. (Couldn't pick Jaws v Ikiru) I broke it down by individual comparables and gave it to Ferret 6-4. When I ranked the movies jfrost had my 1, 2, 7, 8 and Ferret had 3-6. This is the first time I've ever voted against a jfrost DVD draft. Forgive me.
