Groucho you might as well get ready to make your selections, I don't think Bobby is going to make his selection in time.

:up: :up: to both choices.

Re: DVDTalk draft game
 

My picks seem to always come on the weekends, right when I am actually trying to socialize and get away from the internet... stupid me! I apologize once again!

Here's my two picks.

Harold Chasen (Bud Cort, Harold and Maude, 1971)

I would have gone with "Now you listen to me, I'm an advertising man, not a red herring. I've got a job, a secretary, a mother, two ex-wives and several bartenders that depend upon me, and I don't intend to disappoint them all by getting myself slightly killed." But that's great too.

Re: DVDTalk draft game
 

MinLShaw has 5 hours to his selection.

Re: DVDTalk draft game
 

Now that we're halfway through (and presumably people have picked the most popular characters), maybe we can speed things up.

I'd suggest we make each day a round (Tuesday could finish round 6, Wednesday could be round 7, etc.), and let people pick on a "first come, first serve" basis. If someone misses a day, they can make two picks to make up.

That way we could finish up the selection by the end of the weekend. Just a suggestion.

Who's the black private dick that's a sex machine to all the chicks?
Shaft!

John Shaft (Richard Roundtree & Samuel L. Jackson, Shaft franchise, 1971-2000)

Re: DVDTalk draft game
 

These are two different characters. Jackson plays Roundtree's nephew in the 2000 film.

Yes, I understand that but I don't think they named Sam Jackson's character "John Shaft" in the 2000 film for lack of an original first name.

Willy Wonka (Gene Wilder/Johnny Depp, Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory/Charlie & The Chocolate Factory, 1971/2005)

Re: DVDTalk draft game
 

Shaft (2000) is a sequel to the original films. It's a different character, and this is made explicitly clear in the film itself when they bring back Richard Roundtree.

Re: DVDTalk draft game
 

Groucho, can we at least agree that John Shaft is not a species or a game show?

Re: DVDTalk draft game
 

John Shaft is both!

Re: DVDTalk draft game
 

Why do some of us have 5 picks and some 6? Did I miss a rule change?

Re: DVDTalk draft game
 

Fist of Doom is currently up for selection, MinLShaw's turn was skipped bc he missed the 24 hr deadline

Re: DVDTalk draft game
 

Player #16 (me) makes two picks and we go backwards back through the list.

Re: DVDTalk draft game
 

Maybe the OP hasn't been updated then, because MinLShaw doesn't have a #6 and I'm not sure why Bobby Shalom picked 2 if he isn't at the beginning or end of the list. ?

Re: DVDTalk draft game
 

I missed my turn, missed the 24 hour deadline, so they went forward without me. When I finally logged in, I had two picks to go.
