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

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.

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

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.

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

But you will, and I'll get bored with you and feel trapped, because that's what happens with me!

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.

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.

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

Re: DVDTalk draft game

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

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

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. ?

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.
