I agree. I'm amazed that we're already almost half way through the draft rounds in less than two weeks.

yeah.. this thing is moving along very quickly...

sarcasm noted.

someone give MountainBiker an earful about it

I dunno, I'm not exactly in a rush to get this done. I think the current system is just fine, assuming, of course, that this whole thing gets wrapped up before Osiris goes on vacation.

well MountainBiker was last active this morning, hopefully he will sign on again this morning. He has until 11:40am to make his selection

Back off man, I'm a scientist...



Dr. Peter Venkman (Bill Murray, Ghostbusters, 1984)

Well, there goes one of my picks. Oh well.

...Not idly do the leaves of Lorien fall.



Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, 2001 - 2003)

Don't forget John Hurt!

Selection #5: Annie Wilkes (Kathy Bates, Misery, 1990)

Great film, they should have made a sequel -- oh...

I'm surprised it took this long for a LOTR character to go

Because, unlike some other Robin Hoods, I can speak with an English accent.
Robin Hood (Various actors, various adaptations, 1912-2010)

"Awesome! Totally awesome!"

Jeff Spicoli (Sean Penn, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, 1982)

5. Lt. Colonel Nicholson - Alec Guinness (The Bridge on the River Kwai, 1957)

"We can teach these barbarians a lesson in Western methods and efficiency that will put them to shame. We'll show them what the British soldier is capable of doing."



Oh, and good call going with Robin Hood, Cleaver!

One of my favorite quotes. God, I love Robin Hood: Men In Tights. Mel Brooks' last truly great project.

Right back at you for taking the next guy on my board, the first time anyone's done that since the 1st round.

Nicholson fascinates me as a character. That literal, face-value interpretation of his orders to surrender vs. the spirit of defiance in captivity; the determination to enforce the letter of the law and discipline in an environment in which only those of his overseer effectively mattered at all...there's a lot going on with him. The scene where the troops all sing "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow" never fails to give me goosebumps, and it really represents the moment in the film where I, as a member of the audience, realized how invested I was in Nicholson.

damn you wishbone!! I was hoping to grab him with my next pick

We probably will have stepped on everyone's toes when we finish our draft selections later this year.

I admire your optimism.

Hey, I know everyone is getting impatient and all, but there's really no reason for me to be getting a "keep up man" message in my inbox...2 hours after I make my selection!

Well after Bill Murray was picked for Ghostbusters I figured it was time to take perhaps his most memorable character..
Carl Spackler (Caddyshack, Caddyshack 2 1980-88)

"Regrettably, yes. But it is, you know, a sacrifice required for the future of the human race. I hasten to add that since each man will be required to do prodigious... service along these lines, the women will have to be selected for their sexual characteristics which will have to be of a highly stimulating nature." - Dr. Strangelove

"Your move, creep."

Officer Alexander James Murphy / RoboCop (Peter Weller, Robert John Burke, RoboCop series, 1987 - ?)
