Opps! You're right! How did I make that mistake?

And yes, I saw it in the theater and then again when it was released on DVD. Watch it some time and you'll know why everyone dislikes it.

Can I pick The Decalogue, or is that considered a boxed set and thus not eligible under the one boxed set rule?

Groucho 08-26-05 04:46 PM

I would consider that a boxset.

They were originally broadcast on TV right? I'd say that falls under the TV set rule.

So does that mean that we can only have one boxed set (BTW a box set is a set of boxes...) INCLUDING a TV series?

Groucho 08-26-05 04:49 PM

Okay, then. I'll allow it. :lol:

(Next game, no boxsets will be allowed, period. They've turned this whole thing into a huge hassle)

Drexl 08-26-05 05:56 PM

I think that boxed sets should be allowed if they contain DVD material not available separately. The Toy Box would count because you can't get the bonus disc on its own (if I'm not mistaken, the movie discs are different too, but they wouldn't have to be to make the set eligible). However, something like the Scorsese box or any of those boxes with an actor like Tom Cruise or Adam Sandler would not count because you can get everything in the set by buying all of the discs separately.

Also, if someone picks a boxed set, that should not make the individually available titles unavailable, IMO. For example, if someone takes the Alien Quadrilogy, someone else could still take Alien.

I Totally Agree!!!

I have seen it, and while I think the first two are better it's pretty good in my book. But hey, it's your opinion.

I think it would be more fun if everything was allowed. I feel like Wrong Men/Notorious Women and the Alfred Hitchcock Collection are like Mike Williams and Maurice Clarett.

The Thorn Birds

jfrost 08-26-05 07:24 PM

Since the 1 hr rule was invoked, 8 round 2 picks should have taken place by now... so the following players are all on the clock:

Bobbin
jigga6286
Case01
illennium
Franchot

Nick Danger 08-26-05 08:47 PM

Who's voting for the best collection? The players, or the forum at large?
Are the eligible disks restricted to R1?

Franchot 08-26-05 09:13 PM

Sounds like my original pick of the the boxset "Warner Legends" can NOW be included, correct? (By the way the boxset includes the bonus disc "Here's Loonking At You" which is exclusive to the boxset and is not available separately.) So...

Warner Legends Collection

Fincher Fan 08-26-05 09:44 PM

This thread sucks...



...Because I missed out.

Cameron 08-26-05 10:59 PM

dang...you guys need to hurry so i can pick something

jigga6286 08-26-05 11:04 PM

I'm waiting for the people in front of me

The 1hr rule is no longer in effect, right?

It's Groucho's call. I was just saying how I think it should work in future drafts, but Groucho makes the rules in this one.

dollfins1 08-27-05 04:15 AM

i made up a list of picks for the next round(s) and have it ready to go whenever its my turn. alot of work on your part groucho, and i thank you for that. great idea but hard to pull off.

Fincher Fan 08-27-05 05:36 AM

Cool idea though, Groucho. Once all the peeps involved have made their choices, will there be a public poll to vote on who picked the best collection?

jigga6286 08-27-05 07:11 AM

I'll pick Clerks X

IDrinkMolson 08-27-05 07:25 AM

Sooo, we can pick re-releases as long as they're not in a box set?

I'm pretty sure since he allowed LOTR EE and Leon DE

jfrost 08-28-05 09:28 AM

Come on people... I am anxious to make my next pick :)

Also, I am running a similar DVD draft over at my site. So if anyone wants in on that one (which will be a max of 16 teams), head on over to: http://www.upcomingdiscs.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=3683

This could be a good opportunity for those who wanted in to this one but missed out.
