90's Draft: Pre-Draft Commentary - Page 2

post #51 of 103
I'm kind of curious who the oldest and youngest people are who signed up, and their ages.
post #52 of 103
I'm 24. I'm imagining I'm the near the bottom of the age ladder.
post #53 of 103
I'm 42, so I'm probably in the upper echelon of fogies.
post #54 of 103
I'm 20. Gotta be right at the bottom.
post #55 of 103
40 here. I'm not quite in GET OFF MY LAWN mode.
post #56 of 103
I'm kind of nestled in the middle at 32.
post #57 of 103
20 as well.
post #58 of 103
41. Nice to see I've got some company.
post #59 of 103
I'll be 23 on the 24th!
post #60 of 103
41, hitting the Answer in December.
post #61 of 103
I am 33.

22 year old mack daddy right here, but I only really became a film fan in the mid-2000's, so if I were to pick 90's films that I liked growing up my list would mostly consist of Adam Sandler-ers and Jim Carrey-ers.
post #63 of 103
Solid 30.
post #64 of 103
40. I ran screaming from most of your 90s action darlings because I was discovering indies and older films. Your 90s were my 80s, for the most part.

I'm 35 and I'm a recovering Jim Carrey addict. That said, I had a good all around repertoire in the 90's so I think I can create a diverse but solid list.

36 in Oct.

29. I still stand by Barbarella (the only Vadim film worth a fuck) and I will destroy you all.

See that on the ground? That's the gauntlet, bitches.

All that hate is gonna burn you up. [/not a 90's movie!]
post #69 of 103
26, so I'm kind of in the middle of the people who grew up in the 90's but I was also in the age group where movies for adults were becoming apart of my life.
post #70 of 103
I'll be 48 on Halloween and I've drunk more beer and banged more quiff and pissed more blood and stomped more ass that all of you numbnuts put together. (also not a 90's movie)
post #71 of 103
If I were to go with my favorites at the time, I'd be doing as Ripoll states and snagging up all of the Jim Carrey vehicles I could get my hands on. Thankfully I won't be playing favorites as such. I am running my choices by favorites, however. The end of the 90s is when I started waking up to films (even though I count 2001 and 2004 as the benchmarks for my own cinephilia) and many of these films mean a great deal to me.

I'm starting to anticipate this more than anything I have on the horizon right now. Bring it on.
post #72 of 103
I'm 39 1/2. The death rattles of my youth keep me up at night. Nevertheless, I am eager to participate so that I may see how Poxy fills his dance card when the decade at issue contains no eligible Indy Jones or Lord 'O Rings movies.

<--- That's old-school '90s edge removal right there.
post #73 of 103
Bahahahaha! It'd be mean if it weren't true.
post #74 of 103
Thirty six years old.
And three weeks.
And 1 day.
post #75 of 103
I'm 42. Which put the 90s right in my filmwatching wheelhouse.

BTW, because of my work schedule, I'm going to request to be put at the end of the day. I don't want to delay any picks. Yeah, I'd rather draft early, but it's still satisfying to snag something that people forgot about.
post #76 of 103
I'd like to make the same request. If I could be one of the last groups of the day, I would appreciate it.
post #77 of 103
How great would this draft be if obvious choices were excluded? Like SHAWSHANK.... yeah, I said it. It'll probably go first round.

Hush yo mouth!
post #79 of 103
First round? Dang it, I was counting on it for my round 5 pick. I thought it would last until then.
post #80 of 103
I'm kinda hoping drafters go for the less than obvious here... but judging the tally of some who signed up, looks like we're gonna be in American territory here.
post #81 of 103
Please don't mention eligible films. It always happens.
post #82 of 103
The list is made.

I'm bottom of the list, Day 2.

And I intend to own this shit.

See you next Tuesday.
post #83 of 103
My list is set and I'm pretty excited about it.
post #84 of 103
I've crafted a selection of 50 films. I only expect 6 of them to get drafted before I have the chance to select them. As usual, I will follow a pattern.
post #85 of 103
I have a list of 80 something films. I expect my top 10 to be obliterated first day. I don't have a pattern.
post #86 of 103
125. Most of it will get obliterated, but it's good to have them all in one place, lest someone let a big one slip.

But the real jewelry in there, I expect to have free reign on. And I can't wait.
post #87 of 103
I'm looking forward to the surprises. The first round is always expected, but I like to see when people can pull a film or two out of their ass.
post #88 of 103
I've got a list that's in no order whatsoever, but I know which ones I really want and which ones I'll settle for having.
post #89 of 103
I usually take the approach that there are a million good films from the period I've seen, so why worry too much. However, this time I've got 5 films. I know I'll get my first one, and reasonably certain nobody's going to draft the last one... it's the middle three I worry about. I just wish I knew which of them was most likely to get sniped, so I could prioritize.
post #90 of 103
Yeah, that's the conundrum. In the 70s draft, I let my first choice, Man Who Would Be King, slide until the third round I think, just as a gambit. It paid off. But in the 60s, I picked Lord of the Flies round one, and it probably could have lasted a couple rounds.
post #91 of 103
Is there normally this many drafters, though?
post #92 of 103
I'm winging it this time. I have perhaps a couple dozen films listed, but generally I let the draft dictate what direction I go in. Find the niche that others aren't taking advantage of. In the Action draft, it was the classics.

I have a couple of themes that I can follow through on, but the first order of business is to get a first rounder I genuinely love.

This does seem like a pretty big crowd this time around.
post #94 of 103
I think we had about 40 people for the 80's draft. Of course, you always lose a few after the first couple of rounds, it seems.

I have a broad theme that I really want to stick with, and I have about 50 or so titles that work. I'm not too proud to abandon that fucker, though, if things get rough.
post #95 of 103
I'm 41. Get off my lawn.
post #96 of 103
My first two picks are locked in. If I can get both of them I might try going for a theme of sorts, but I have no concrete list besides those two movies. There are a few I want but don't expect to get.
post #97 of 103
It's going to be hard to watch my top 10 get destroyed till I get to pick. If my substitute pick goes, I'll hate you all.
post #98 of 103
I streamlined my 50 down to a confident 20.
post #99 of 103
I have 5 that I want and I'm going to get them all! Yup, I said it!
post #100 of 103
I'm pretty sure no one would want my five, so I have at least a chance to land a couple.
