Re: DVDTalk Draft Final Four (MountainBiker vs cleaver)

Mountain Biker snagged two selections I had planned on drafting (Sam Quint and Hans Gruber) vs. one selection taken by cleaver (Robin Hood). I love me some Joker and Kermit the Frog, but I'm going with Jack Burton. Terminator, Khan, Han Solo and even Vito Corleone I find uninteresting choices. Maybe they're just too obvious, maybe I just never went gaga over them the way others have. All I know is they'll be liabilities to their respective rosters in the next round for my vote.

Re: DVDTalk Draft Final Four (MountainBiker vs cleaver)

Cleaver in a landslide. Why is this even close? The only character on Mountain Biker's list that could even crack Cleaver's top 5 is Peter Venkman. The Terminator - are you serious? He is a robot that is 99% soulless. And if you just named me Neal Page, Jack Burton, or Neil McCauley, I wouldn't even be able to name the movie unless you gave me the actor that played them.

This is NOT a close call.

Re: DVDTalk Draft Final Four (MountainBiker vs cleaver)

Not a single person I voted for in the last round made it into this round. If you see me endorsing your list, you know it's gonna fail.

For this round, Cleaver, but only because he's got Norma Desmond in there.
