80's Draft: Discussion - Page 3

post #101 of 2597
That could work.
post #102 of 2597
Never before for these things has the head vs heart argument among the three flicks I've got in mind for first been so rowdy.
post #103 of 2597
Is that the good non-Miyazaki anime?
post #104 of 2597
Damn you Diva. I cancelled that out due to IMDb.

But nice to see that it goes so early. If it is valid - Congrats.
post #105 of 2597
Diva's pick annoys me because it makes my #1 pick that much harder. Still have three to choose from.
post #106 of 2597
Wikipedia says release date of December 1989.
post #107 of 2597
The cut off's August '89, though.
post #108 of 2597
The cutoff is August '89.
post #109 of 2597
Not to be an ass, but according to IMDb Sex, Lies and Videotape came out in the states 4th of August 1989. So technically it would be invalid nonetheless.

But it should count for sheer fond memories.

August? That's weird. My boss hasn't arrived for our meeting yet, so I gotta quickly switch shit up.
post #111 of 2597
Between the head and the heart, I split the difference.

I'll be sad but accepting if my heart pick goes. I'll be disappointed in the fucking lot of you if my head pick isn't gone by Monday.
post #112 of 2597
Damn you Glosoli! By proxy of sackley!
post #113 of 2597
Sex Lies and Video hit Sundance in January of '89, NY and LA on August 4th, and went wide on August 18th.

From the rules-thread:
Quote:
Parameters: From Heaven's Gate (11/19/1980) to sex, lies, and videotape (8/18/89).

And Die Hard is a great and perfectly justifiable first round pick. As finely tuned a piece of entertainment as you're likely to find.
post #116 of 2597
Even the last draft was a period in film roughly encompassing a decade but more defined by bookends that marked a change in the prevailing winds of film, so to speak. Not weird at all.
post #117 of 2597
Diva, if it's any sort of consolation, Do the Right Thing is a considerably better movie than Akira.

You should not be allowed to transition from Akira to one of the best films of the decade. Even though I've never seen Akira, so I am totally talking out of my ass. I imagine that's the pick Andre thought Diva would snatch first?

You don´t really need a preparation though since any lists you are laying out beforehand will be shattered merciless anyway from the picks before you.

Dre's getting killed.

DTRT is marvelous. And yes, it's better than Akira.
post #122 of 2597
Videodrome already?
Oh fuck it is ON.

Feel free to stick around for the discussion though, that's always been open to everyone.

There's like a 1000 movies better than Akira... it's really not a 1st Round pick...
post #125 of 2597
Color me shocked to see Videodrome today. Shocked in a good way.
post #126 of 2597
Do the Right Thing, great pick.

I do love some Videodrome, but I did not see that going first round. Not at all.

I was tempted to take Die Hard. Real tempted.

You're right, of course.
Fuck it, if it's cool Kirby, can I be a late entry? I just need to know the time(day as well? It is half goes today then half tomorrow? Can't remember).
post #128 of 2597
I figured it had a shot. Certainly at least one of that guy's films was going this round.
post #129 of 2597
I thought for sure that Do the Right Thing was a mid-summer '89 release.

Videodrome going early is a shock.
post #130 of 2597
Diva just stole my round 2, and invalidated one of my 5th round foreign picks.

Diva...is now the enemy.
post #131 of 2597
What I love so far is that people don´t go for the big elefants in the room but rather for quality and cornerstones of genres.

Do The Right Thing lasting until round 2? You must be an optimist.
post #133 of 2597
With three people missing their turn, I'm picking earlier than I thought. I'm gonna fumble the good fortune, I know it.

I may take this all the way to 3:00.

With all due respect do you really thought that either of them would last as long as you speculated?

People would have had to draft a pile of crap to make that dream come true.

Ah, quit being a puss and commit. Certainly you can boil it down to three choices, throw a dart.
post #136 of 2597
Do the Right Thing was the one I figured, and it is either the first or second best pick so far.

Nexus, I'd like to add you to the Day 2 group...but I need to move someone from that day to today to balance things out. Or I'll just add you to today's 5pm-7pm group.

So...what I'll do is give the first Day 2 person who wants to move to Day 1 and that 5pm-7pm slot and move you to whatever spot is vacated. If no one wants to move --- which I doubt --- I'll give you the Day 1 5pm-7pm slot.
post #138 of 2597
Awesome, thanks. I just don't want to steal anyone's thunder or step on any toes.
post #139 of 2597
Leper, get on it.

No, you're fine. I want to push you more toward the back of the line than the front which is why I'm offering someone who was already in the draft to move up to Day One. Hopefully someone will "volunteer."
post #141 of 2597
I can move!
It actually works better for me since Monday is kinda fucked for me anyways.
post #142 of 2597
Everybody Stop Pressuring Me God Damn It!!
post #143 of 2597
I don't mind picking today, obviously. But picking Monday might be better for me than Tuesday, which is why I haven't offered. I figure somebody is gonna jump at the chance, but if not, just use me.

edit- there we go, Tati.
post #144 of 2597
Yeah, Monday i won't be at the office. I have to travel on business. So picking Tuesday instead works much better.
post #145 of 2597
I just realised that fans of Hong Kong pictures = fucked for this draft. No chance, if imdb's the bench mark.
post #146 of 2597
Not only do I want to move, I was begging to yesterday. Pick me!

Thank you for reminding me again why I had to scratch off my list so many great titles...
post #148 of 2597
Arjen did ask yesterday, and we gave him plenty of shit about it, so that seems the fairest course.
post #149 of 2597
Why thank you, Dickson. I'm sorry you guys didn't get Favre.
post #150 of 2597
I don't get you, Leper.
