Rules

An individual voter, once they have picked from a particular TV show or movie franchise, may not make another pick from that TV show or movie franchise. It does not take the TV show or movie franchise out of play for other voters.

Please send me a list if you will be gone from the computer all day. This will not be some strict 6 hour or pick draft unless people are going to wait 12 + hours per pick so let's just send a list and be prepared.

PM whoever is after you!

Have fun. Don't bitch about stuff unless it's how stupid Karl is or something.

6. larrymcg421 -

[albionmoonlight]

I have a pretty obvious choice for what I think is #1. I am really curious to see if the drafters also think that it is obvious.

[Sun Tzu]

There's no way in hell my #1 is going to make it to my pick...

...or is there...

[DeToxRox]

I am not even sure what category will have the biggest run. It can go any way.

[DeToxRox]

I might take Sun slaying Neb in NOFL as most heroic moment though, if for nothing else then :) became :(

[AENeuman]

1.1 Best Death in a Horror Movie, Psycho, Shower scene

[DeToxRox]

From steve's list:

1.2 - Action. Scarface gets whacked on the stairs after taking a half million bullets

[Sun Tzu]

I might take Sun slaying Neb in NOFL as most heroic moment though, if for nothing else then :) became :(

:cool: :D

[Karlifornia]

11th pick? Fuck this I quit

[Karlifornia]

PSYCH! I'm still in!

[DeToxRox]

PSYCH! I'm still in!

Fuck. I was so happy.

[albionmoonlight]

Mine has not been picked yet--though I admit that Psycho! was one I had not thought of. Can't really argue with it at #1.

[cartman]

If Schmidty takes my pick, I guarantee you that I will film my revenge, and he will be eligible to be picked later himself.

[lordscarlet]

I thought of Psycho, but my 1.1 isn't gone yet.

[Karlifornia]

This draft is gonna be real hard to predict.

[JAG]

Mine has not been picked yet--though I admit that Psycho! was one I had not thought of. Can't really argue with it at #1.

After I thought about the list for about 5 minutes, I decided this would be what I would take if I was picking at 1.1. I have no clue after that to be honest. I'm sure like just about every FOFC draft I'll see some picks and say, "Oh yeah, why didn't I think of that? That's an obvious good one."

[Karlifornia]

Also, especially here in the first round, you should PM the next person after you make your pick. Some people may not even remember that they're taking part in this.

[spleen1015]

My 1.1 is still on the board. If it makes to it 1.12, you bitches have lost.

[lordscarlet]

My 1.1 is still on the board. If it makes to it 1.12, you bitches have lost.

But I thought we were fighting for last place! :p

[stevew]

Hated picking so early. Someone would have taken scarface pretty early I hope
Also if we could find youtube clips it would be sweet

[lordscarlet]

Hated picking so early. Someone would have taken scarface pretty early I hope

That's a tough call. I think it could have fallen, but to #23? I don't know.

[DeToxRox]

BTW We won't worry about time limits this round since obviously not everyone gets a chance to access the board this early.

[lordscarlet]

BTW We won't worry about time limits this round since obviously not everyone gets a chance to access the board this early.

Screw that, I've had to wait at least 30 seconds! OFF WITH HIS HEAD

[stevew]

someone pm'd schmidty right?

[stevew]

[cartman]

Yeah, I was planning to do this if they are available.

[cartman]

Dola,

D'oh, I see you've already got some clips. :)

[DeToxRox]

I PM'd Schmidty and Cartman.

[Radii]

This draft is gonna be real hard to predict.

I don't watch a lot of movies, I give it 4 rounds before I make a total WTF pick. Not an Imagine level debacle mind you, but I expect to be in that competition for last that LS and spleen are having.

[spleen1015]

I was hoping to be the first to have a youtube link in my first pick. I was hoping the voters would see some genius in that and like me more than you bastards.

Foiled again!

[Schmidty]

1.3 Jaws - Best Death in Action Movie - Opening scene where the swimming lady gets tugged down a few times and then eaten by Jaws.

[Schmidty]

I can't find the entire scene which is awesome, but here's a snippet from the original trailer:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ucMLFO6TsFM&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ucMLFO6TsFM&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

[DeToxRox]

Ugh my picks still on the board. Cartman better not fuck me.

[Buccaneer]

My brother and I were talking about this today, since I hadn't read the rules that closely. He and I agreed that there were 3 picks that would be huge for the voters. But I just saw that he had another one up his sleeve with his Psycho pick (well done!). The 3 that we talked still haven't been picked yet.

[DeToxRox]

So far all three picks are very solid. This is going to be such a deep draft that I can't imagine too many "WTF" picks to be honest.

[lordscarlet]

I apologize if my turn comes up, but at this point I'm assuming that it won't tonight. Three people have to take their turn for me to come up. :) I can send a list to someone if people want, though.

[cartman]

1.4 Best Suicide - Brooks, The Shawshank Redemption

1.5 - Pyle's suicide in Full Metal Jacket [Suicide]

[Radii]

FU Detox!

[DeToxRox]

FU Detox!

Mwahahah

[Lathum]

awesome pick Detox!

[cartman]

That was the other suicide scene I was thinking of. But to me, the Brooks was more powerful, as it was a conscious decision, not one borne out of a moment of madness.

[DeToxRox]

That was the other suicide scene I was thinking of. But to me, the Brooks was more powerful, as it was a conscious decision, not one borne out of a moment of madness.

Brooks was my #2. Brooks was more powerful, but I think Pyle was the better looking death.

[Schmidty]

I have both of your suicide picks trumped!! You wait, women!!!

[Karlifornia]

I don't know if it will get to my pick while I'm at work tomorrow, but if it does, too bad, because I'll be god damned if I'm going to send a list to Detox.

I won't be gone for very long though.

[Groundhog]

The Brooks suicide was waaaaaay more emotional to me. That whole part of the movie just tore me up.

[larrymcg421]

1.6 Best Gunshot Death - Bonnie and Clyde's death, Bonnie and Clyde

<object width="425" height="344">


<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/jzeYb_StdBU&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></object>

[stevew]

Is it possible to switch my pick to a gunshot death? If not, no biggie.

[DeToxRox]

Is it possible to switch my pick to a gunshot death? If not, no biggie.

I'll allow it.

[Karlifornia]

I haven't seen a woman take that many shots to the torso since Saturday night at Detox's sister's house.

[Karlifornia]

The more I think about it, the more excited I get about this draft. The possibilities are endless, and I think the voting will more varied than maybe any other draft we've had so far.

I'm gonna really start making a private list for each category tomorrow after work. I've already got like...3 or so picks that I definitely am afraid will be taken before I get to take a stab at it (pun intended).

[stevew]

I'm going to suck at a few categories, but I'm sure I'll get by.

[Karlifornia]

I'm going to suck at a few categories, but I'm sure I'll get by.

I'm sure we all will. I think the participants (and of course, the peanut gallery) should make a pact that we viciously ridicule picks that we think are garbage. It will give this draft a lot more camaraderie if we all know that we're fair game, and don't take anything personally.

[wade moore]

Without the Youtube clip I'd call that Bonnie and Clyde selection terrible. I can't be the only one that had NO idea what it was.

But with the clip - that's pretty impressive.

[lordscarlet]

Son of a bitch.. and just like that, my #1 pick and my backup pick are gone. Let me evaluate my options for a second.

[lordscarlet]

I'm taking a look at my list, and outside of the suicides I just don't have a clear front-runner (my first thought when I saw this draft was Full Metal Jacket). I'm going to take a gamble that some of my better picks will still be around later on and go with what is just one of the sweetest and most unexpected death scenes in a movie.

1.7 Best Gunshot Death - Marvin, Pulp Fiction

[ntndeacon]

ok. I don't know how this happened. But it seems clear what should be the #1 pick. I was shocked it got to me. now there have been some good picks before me but my choice is pretty clear...
1.8 Best TV Death-- Col. Henry Blake__M*A*S*H

[spleen1015]

As someone who has never watched MASH, I'll take your word for it. :D

[wade moore]

As someone who has never watched MASH, I'll take your word for it. :D

Yup.

I know that that is considered to be a major scene/event in TV - but it's so far removed from my generation that it has little impact on me - I think that could hurt with the voters.

[Buccaneer]

ok. I don't know how this happened. But it seems clear what should be the #1 pick. I was shocked it got to me. now there have been some good picks before me but my choice is pretty clear...
1.8 Best TV Death-- Col. Henry Blake__M*A*S*H

That's one (of the 3 obvious choices that will be popular with the older voters).

Edit: added "older" voters. :)

[lordscarlet]

I think Private Pyle was the clear #1.. it was a steal IMO. M*A*S*H? Meh.

[Dr. Sak]

1.8 Best TV Death-- Col. Henry Blake__M*A*S*H

Good pick! The cast didn't even know he was going to die until Radar came in and said it. So their reactions are sincere.

[Sun Tzu]

Well...I'm excited that my #1 is still on the board...please please please.

[Radii]

sorry, i've been in the thread for awhile but stuck on a call at work, picking shortly.

[DeToxRox]

Updated the picks.

[Radii]

Since the show didn't have huge viewership this may end up a way too early or WTF pick, but whatever, this was the single biggest "HOLY SHIT DID THAT JUST HAPPEN" moment I've ever had watching a television show:

1.9 - Best Explosion Death[TV or Movie] - Shane drops a grenade in Lem's car - The Shield

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-_MlmtnCRXs&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-_MlmtnCRXs&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>


I couldn't find a shorter clip, the actual death is a bit after the 5 minute mark.

Motherfucker. I was hoping that'd fall. Good pick especially with a strong Shield contingent.

Fuck Shane.

[Radii]

Motherfucker. I was hoping that'd fall. Good pick especially with a strong Shield contingent.

Fuck Shane.

Well if someone hadn't taken the Full Metal Jacket suicide things might have worked out differently ;) (though it looks like there was no way that was falling to me anyway, eh).

[Lathum]

I think Private Pyle was the clear #1.. it was a steal IMO. M*A*S*H? Meh.

I put the Psycho shower scene as 1 and Pyle as 2.

I think Radii's picj was way to early, he probably could have let that one drop. He may get credit from Shield viewers but will get zero from non shield viewers.

[Sun Tzu]

With the 10th overall pick in the draft...

Best Gunshot Death - Santino Corleone at the causeway.

"Look how they massacred my boy"

[DeToxRox]

I hate Sun a lot but I gotta give him props for a good pick.

[lordscarlet]

Yeah, I was told I should have taken Corleone over Marvin. Ohwell. :) I told you I would suck at this draft!

[spleen1015]

Good job so far you guys. It is interesting to see what everyone else thinks is worth a #1 pick.

[Radii]

great, great pick Sun

[ntndeacon]

Love that pick Sun.

[lordscarlet]

Good job so far you guys. It is interesting to see what everyone else thinks is worth a #1 pick.

I don't think mine is worth a #1, I just don't have any that I think are worth a #1 :)

Too bad I haven't gotten to watching The Godfather yet...

[Radii]

I think Radii's picj was way to early, he probably could have let that one drop. He may get credit from Shield viewers but will get zero from non shield viewers.


Probably so, my philosophy in this one is different than in any other draft I've been in. Except for a select *very* few picks my feeling is that what goes 1st in a category vs what goes 10th in a category will probably run pretty close together and it's just going to be what shows/movies voters happen to like the best that decides it. Popularity decides things in a lot of drafts but I see that being the case more here than usual. So I'm just taking my favorites and hoping to hit a nerve here or there with a voter or two.

I should note that this strategy always bombs. I'm doomed ;)

[Radii]

Yeah, I was told I should have taken Corleone over Marvin. Ohwell. :) I told you I would suck at this draft!

Meh, Marvin is a great pick. The most memorable death and one of the most memorable scenes from a movie like Pulp Fiction is as worthy of a pretty high pick as anything else IMO.

[Sun Tzu]

Thanks for the reassuring comments. As soon as I signed up for this draft that scene was the first one that came to mind. In fact out of pure excitement of it still being available with only 1 pick to go, I've been whistling the Godfather theme all morning here at work.

[ntndeacon]

Meh, Marvin is a great pick. The most memorable death and one of the most memorable scenes from a movie like Pulp Fiction is as worthy of a pretty high pick as anything else IMO.

Let's not get crazy here. Marvin is not a bad pick. but there were better in the category. Sonny's death is one that is.

[Ronnie Dobbs2]

Yeah, have to think Marvin would have been available much later (and if not, there would be many other for that category). This draft is interesting compared to others as there are SO MANY choices, but there are definitely some that are first round quality that have been picked (Godfather, Pyscho, Pyle) and some that are not. Will be interesting if at the end that comes into it at all or not.

[Swaggs]

Sonny's death was the first one that came to mind for me. I thought it would be #1 overall (although Psycho is an excellent choice, too).

[stevew]

I definitely would have used the Marvin death, I fail to see how that is a bad pick.

[Greyroofoo]

Good pick! The cast didn't even know he was going to die until Radar came in and said it. So their reactions are sincere.

Not entirely true. (http://www.snopes.com/radiotv/tv/mash.asp)

However the pick was my #1 when the draft was announced so ntndeacon is way ahead of everyone else IMO.

[Sun Tzu]

I have to say, though I've never seen Psycho I know that scene alone is one of the most memorable scenes cinema history. The best pick of the draft so far is the one from Full Metal Jacket. That completely slipped my mind, but I would have a very hard time coming up with a better suicide. Hell of a job DeTox...racist bastard.

[AENeuman]

i'm not sure if i have seen more than 3 horror movies in my life. I picked Psycho more out of ignorance than anything else. but thanks for the good words.

great picks so far. sonny and mash were the 2 of the 3 other great picks out there. i know the other one will be picked soon.

i was thinking the marvin pick would have been a great comedy pick. the whole scene is classic dark comedy.

if one has not seen godfather and bonnie and clyde i wonder how they will judge the 2 scenes? very alike

just a clarification. is the new hero death category a scene where the hero dies or where the hero kills the bad guy? or does it matter?

NOOOO! NICKY!

[Sun Tzu]

Karl,

The Deer Hunter = my all time favorite movie. I think we have talked about this briefly, but...just wow. GREAT pick.

[spleen1015]

My picks coming in a second

[spleen1015]

1.12 - Best Serial Killer - Hannibal Lector

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/DejxKWP2ckE&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/DejxKWP2ckE&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

I didn't think he would make it this far. Good stuff.

[wade moore]

i was thinking the marvin pick would have been a great comedy pick. the whole scene is classic dark comedy.

LS talked to me about this briefly actually. The category specifically says "death IN a comedy" so we decided it wouldn't really apply since it was a comedic death in a drama.

[spleen1015]

2.1 - Best Melee Death - Obi Wan Kenobi death by LIGHTSABER!

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/eDCNk8Hdw7o&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/eDCNk8Hdw7o&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

I was geeked up when I saw the melee category. This was the first thing to pop into my head. I don't know how this will rank with everyone else, but I love it. :D

[sabotai]

I thought Lecter would go #1. There are a lot of choices for most categories, but "Serial Killer" seems to scream out Hannibal Lecter, and I can't think of another serial killer that comes close to Lecter as the clear #1 for the category.

But I am probably forgetting a few and will most likely go "Oh, of course!" after someone else's pick. :)

[DeToxRox]

Spleen with two damn solid picks.

[Ronnie Dobbs2]

Three great picks in a row.

[spleen1015]

Let's see if my #3 can survive 23 picks. I doubt it. It is another really good one.

[DeToxRox]

We should make a nice dent today. Lot of posters on already.

[Sun Tzu]

Hannibal was a great pick...well done. I thought of Obi-Wan actually but kept telling myself there must be better melee deaths out there somewhere. Being a Star Wars nut though, I have to enjoy at least seeing it on here :)

[Karlifornia]

Crap

[spleen1015]

I just got done PMing you Karl. :D

[Sun Tzu]

I'm so...so...so excited at the possibility of my next pick.

*edit* I also just now realized that this is a snake draft. Scoreballs

[Karlifornia]

I'll try to make my pick at work from my ipod no guarantees tho

[ntndeacon]

I have 2 picks lined up.I am hopeful that i get one of them. One would have been my pick if MASH had been off the board.

[Karlifornia]

I thought about this long and hard at work, and had two that I couldn't decide between. In the interest of moving things along, I have chosen one.

[Ronnie Dobbs2]

Karl looking very good in preseason.

[Radii]

Possibly going further off the reservation, but again sticking with TV, sticking with more recent over classics, HBO's The Wire is clearly revered by many here, and I want to make sure I get the first Wire pick in, and get the most noteworthy death in the series.

2.4 - Best Television Death - Omar and Brother Mouzone kill Stringer Bell - The Wire

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/TqbxZG6FMeI&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/TqbxZG6FMeI&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

[lordscarlet]

I considered Stringer Bell. I was a little worried about how recognized it would be, particularly in conjuction with other choices I may make later on. The question is, will my tv death be even less recognizable by the time I get to it? :)

Good pick.

[Ronnie Dobbs2]

Geez, that's a monster spoiler - I know people have been warned, though.

[Radii]

Geez, that's a monster spoiler - I know people have been warned, though.

Yeah I really hope anyone who is in the process of watching the show realizes that its going to come up at some point in a draft of tv/movie character deaths. I'd spoiler tag it but its got to show up in the draft lists for voting so people can fully mock me anyway :)

[Karlifornia]

Thanks, Ronnie...long way to go, obviously.


Yeah, tv is gonna be much tougher, obviously, as TV shows generally don't have main characters die, seeing as how, uh, they want the show to keep going. Should be interesting, though.

[Ronnie Dobbs2]

Yeah I really hope anyone who is in the process of watching the show realizes that its going to come up at some point in a draft of tv/movie character deaths. I'd spoiler tag it but its got to show up in the draft lists for voting so people can fully mock me anyway :)

Yeah, that's the way it's going to have to be, but just seeing it typed out like that made me cringe.

[Danny]

While some will probably like the picks, I've never watched The Wire or The Shield so you won't be making my list unless your other picks blow me away.

[lordscarlet]

I'[m getting together a pick to send to DeTox because I'm about to leave and I'm up after this pick. I think I have a backup pick to go with it, but if it goes 10 or 11 picks to roll around to me again I will try to get a list to DeTox before the night is over.

[Radii]

While some will probably like the picks, I've never watched The Wire or The Shield so you won't be making my list unless your other picks blow me away.

The shield is excusable and I reached pretty bad there, but I think its acceptable to link my favorite Quiksand post ever in response here:

I fought between two options in this category, but I think this one is the better of the two. It may be a little earlier, and there may be a better choice here, I don't know at this point. :) I am not a movie guy and I have a horrible memory about the details of movies and tv shows that I do see. Having said that, without further ado...

I'll have to see the DVD's one day. I don't have HBO, so never started watching.

[stevew]

Well Karl just killed one of 2nd round possibilities.

[Karlifornia]

Nice pick, deacon.

I was also thinking about William Wallace, but I don't appreciate Braveheart as much as some do, so I wasn't sure about pulling the trigger on it.

[Lorena]

Yeah, that's the way it's going to have to be, but just seeing it typed out like that made me cringe.

Yeah, I hear ya. Ant and I did the same thing. I swear we must have been silent for like 3 minutes after the show was over. But trust me, it does get better.

Some pretty solid picks fellas.

2.7 Best Death Scene in an Action Movie - Heart Ripped Out of Chest, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom

With the 10th overall pick in the draft...

Best Gunshot Death - Santino Corleone at the causeway.

"Look how they massacred my boy"



And that was the 2nd of three obvious picks that we talked about.

[Karlifornia]

I see Bucc lurking in this thread. I get the feeling we're going to be treated to a soliloquy on how much ToD sucked. ;)

[Karlifornia]

Here's the Exorcism clip. Go to about the 6 1/2 minute mark

[Buccaneer]

ToD is not worth the effort anymore. ;)

So far, I see the picks falling into two categories: safe and risky. I think there are movies and show, therefore deaths, that would be recognizable to most of the voters. Then there are those picks that either you get it or you don't. Shield, as mentioned, is one; so is The Wire.

[hoopsguy]

ToD did suck - huge.

2.8 - Susan dies from licking the Envelopes [Seinfeld] - Television Death

[ntndeacon]

what is that from DeTox?

[DeToxRox]

what is that from DeTox?

Woops.

Seinfeld.

[Karlifornia]

Solid pick. Possibly a bit of a reach though?

[DeToxRox]

Solid pick. Possibly a bit of a reach though?

I'd say 90% of this board watch Seinfeld. Maybe 20% the Shield and The Wire, and less then that watch MASH.

[Buccaneer]

I'd say 90% of this board watch Seinfeld. Maybe 20% the Shield and The Wire, and less then that watch MASH.

Too high % on the Seinfeld, imo. You might be right about MASH but there's a big difference - a lot more have heard about the MASH death, so it's more famous.

[DeToxRox]

Too high % on the Seinfeld, imo. You might be right about MASH but there's a big difference - a lot more have heard about the MASH death, so it's more famous.

Hearing and seeing are two different things.

[DeToxRox]

Dola, let's put it this way more people on FOFC have seen Susan dying then they have any of the other TV deaths so far. In my opinion anyways.

[Greyroofoo]

I think people are underestimating MASH

[Logan]

Not on this board.

[Schmidty]

I hate MASH.

[Danny]

Dola, let's put it this way more people on FOFC have seen Susan dying then they have any of the other TV deaths so far. In my opinion anyways.

That's true, but it wasn't really all that important to the show or that big of a deal. We all knew she would be gotten rid of somehow.

[lordscarlet]

I agree that the Seinfeld pick was very possibly better than the M*A*S*H pick. There is definitely a generational gap in play.

[cartman]

Ok, I'm back from dinner. Searching for a YouTube vid to post with my next, awesome pick.

[cartman]

2.9 - Best melee death - General Maximus Decimus Meridius, Gladiator

He is poisoned, but still manages to kill the emperor before dying himself.

If I find a more complete vid, I'll update.

[ntndeacon]

I realize I am in a very small minority when I dont know something from Seinfeld. But in terms of deaths. not only was it a bigger character. (was with the show three seasons) but there is NO way that any death that happened on Seinfeld was bigger than Col. Blake's. That was an iconic moment in the show. I am sure we will come up with other deaths that are Iconic to the show they represent.

I also realize that iwill not ever win one of these because I am older than alot of folks...well not Buccaneer.

[wade moore]

cartman - not heroic death?

[Schmidty]

I am so happy no one picked this one:

2.10 - Best Suicide Scene - Dr. Strangelove - Major "King" Kong gloriously bronco rides the nuke to it's destination.

[Logan]

I will snag a video when I get home if there is one. I know casino was not the most opular movie and was mediocre but it was awesome and melee was hard for me to think of

I definitely didn't think Casino was mediocre and love the pick. It was a fuckin brutal death scene. They made him watch his brother die before really going to work on him.

[stevew]

I meant mediocre for Martin S movies but its taxing to type on this phone.

[ntndeacon]

I'm saving explosion for another one I'm hoping someone doesn't take first.

I can see that strategy. but it wasn't a suicide. to me that makes it a bad selection in that category. in another category it would have been inspired.

I couldn't get into strangelove.

[Schmidty]

I couldn't get into strangelove.

I couldn't either the first few times, but it clicked for me the last two times. I love it now.

I'm not making the "cool" picks that most FOFCers will like, such as shows like The Wire (never watched it), or "The Shield (that either). I'm just going with the ones I liked. I guess I know I won't win, but I'll have fun with my picks.

I'm pretty sure I'm getting quite a bit of ridicule for my picks and my strategery is backfiring horribly!

Strangelove is a great pick.

[cartman]

cartman - not heroic death?

It definitely could have fit that category as well, but I think there are fewer melee deaths to choose from that are memorable than there are heroic deaths.

[Karlifornia]

It's funny how I'm thinking about this at different times. Like, just now, I was walking to my car after leaving the liquor store, and a death just popped into my head that made me go "Holy fuck I hope that's still there when my pick comes around".

[Chief Rum]

Man, I admit when I saw this thread go up, I was sorta "WTH?!?" and didn't come in. Now that I have and see what's going on and realize this draft's potential, I am thinking this is going to be pretty flippin' awesome. Half the movies made involve some sort of death, for cryin' out loud. And while TV is less "death friendly", there are choices there to be had.

I have noticed one trend already, and I am interested to see if it continues, or if people will begin to pickup on options outside of that trend at some point.

BTW, this is probably obvious, so I'll feel stupid later, but whatever--what the heck is "ToD"?

2.5 Best death in a horror movie-Father Damien Karras falls to death- Exorcist

By "falls" you mean "jumps" right? ;)
Good pick though, i had it on my list, could go for hero death, and suicide too.

[Ronnie Dobbs2]

stevew - Maybe I'm in the minority but I think Casino is a masterpiece and that scene is an awesome pick.

[stevew]

I know there's like a million deaths in the Sopranos, so it was hard to come up with the one to use. In my opinion, this one stood out more than any other.

larrymcg just earned my official LAST PLACE VOTE, for posting a scene from a non-existent movie. This never happened, larry. It never happened.

3.3 - Best Shooting Death - Bambi's mom gets shot - Bambi

This one was and is very disturbing for me and a lot of others that saw it as a kid.

2.12 Death in a TV show, Mr. Hooper, Sesame Street

(sorry i have not figured out the embed thing)
YouTube - Classic Sesame Street: I'm Sure Gonna Miss You, Mr. Hooper! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZTvDZHRFrU)

To this day it is used in helping kids deal with loss.

3.1 Best Death in an Action movie, Nazi face melt, Raiders of the Lost Ark

YouTube - face melter (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiSp0MGRi0M&NR=1)

I really wanted dr. strangelove or deer hunter, good picks

Great picks, I'm glad you got 2 high on your list despite missing out on Strangeglove.

[cartman]

3.4 Best death in a TV show - Scott Tenorman's parents, South Park

Was there any doubt that I would make this pick? Consistently rated one of the top moments in the 13 (and counting) seasons of South Park, Cartman gets his revenge on Scott Tenorman by orchestrating the deaths of Scott's parents, and serving them to him in a bowl of chili.

3.5 - Jason Voorhees - Serial Killer

He may not be a classic serial killer, but Jason has 154 kills to his name over the span of his career. 154! He is the premier murderer, and as the highlight package above shows, he doesn't fuck around.

[lordscarlet]

Maybe I'm just too far behind on southpark, but I didn't even know that happened.

[Crim]

BTW, this is probably obvious, so I'll feel stupid later, but whatever--what the heck is "ToD"?

Nothing.

[Crim]

Temple of Doom, the Indiana Jones movie.

That's bullshit, take that back!

[hoopsguy]

Cartman's pick makes me giggle. Funny, funny stuff.

3.1 Best Death in an Action movie, Nazi face melt, Raiders of the Lost Ark[/B]

YouTube - face melter (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiSp0MGRi0M&NR=1)

There ya go, nice pick, I was wondering when any Indiana Jones picks would come up.

[cartman]

Maybe I'm just too far behind on southpark, but I didn't even know that happened.

It was the first episode of Season 5.

[Buccaneer]

There ya go, nice pick, I was wondering when any Indiana Jones picks would come up.

It is amazing that the first one went in the third round. That would have been a good first round pick.

[Lathum]

It is amazing that the first one went in the third round. That would have been a good first round pick.

I thought of that one early as well. I love the Adriano getting shot pick, that was such a WTF momoent.

[Danny]

Good pick with Bambi, definitely a huge death for us in our childhoods.

3.09 Best Melee Death - Private Mellish knife death - Saving Private Ryan

Of all the death experienced in this movie, the hand to hand combat and the slow, painful scene where the knife is driven into the Private's chest is probably the toughest for me to watch.

[Karlifornia]

I thought about that, Radii. If there's one death to take in Saving Private Ryan, it's that one.

[Sun Tzu]

Sorry for the delay...I've been out all day with the Wife.

With the their 3rd pick in the draft...

3.10 Most Heroic Death - Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker dies after saving Luke.

3.11 Best Death In A Horror Movie-Kane gives "birth", Alien

Embedding was disabled, so you can watch a low-quality clip here: YouTube - ALIEN 1979 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5iBXO-uPfc)


But, yeah. A baby alien bursts through the chest of poor John Hurt, leaving him a spasming pile of flesh. I was hoping this would fall to me here. I think could even be on a Mount Rushmore of movie deaths.

[Radii]

I almost took Darth Vader with my pick at 3.9, nice one.

[Danny]

Vader was a strong pick.

[ntndeacon]

Nice pick with Kane.

[spleen1015]

Damn it Karl!

I was going to use that one this time around!

[spleen1015]

3.12 - Best Death in a Comedic Movie - Vizzini's death to Iocaine powder in The Princess Bride

I was going to use this one and Kane's death this go round. Anyway....

4.1 - Best Gunshot Death - Alex Forrest (Glen Close) in Fatal Attraction

Couldn't find a youtube video for this.

[Schmidty]

Great one.

[Crim]

The Alien death is a really, really great pick. I'm amazed it fell so far.

And spleen, when I saw that Princess Bride clip earlier of Inigo Montoya vs. the Six Fingered Man, I was amazed that it made it onto the board before yours. This was my favorite scene, in one of my favorite movies ever.

[Karlifornia]

Oh, boy. This is really tough. I am making this pick based on which death I think has the higher probability of being chosen between now and my next pick. Using that as the basis, I will go with this:

4.2 Best Melee Death-King Mufasa dies-The Lion King

YouTube - Mufasa's Death-Lion King-ENGLISH (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdjn_85h1Ow)

I am the antithesis of an animated movie fan. In fact, the only one I've watched in the better part of a decade is "Finding Nemo", which I hated. Saying that, this death was fantastic, and unexpected.

Now, please, fellow drafters: Draft the way I would expect you, and let my next prized pick fall to me. It should happen. I don't foresee any of you smart people being smart enough to choose my mid-round white whale.

[Sun Tzu]

Well...for some reason I was stuck on the idea of picking the best death in a Comedy, and suddenly this one hit me like a ton of bricks.

With their 4th pick in the draft...

4.3 Best Death in an Action Film - Wade dies

"I'm a school teacher"

<object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8jQSXlm6YPQ&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8jQSXlm6YPQ&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object>

I chose this one not only because of the emotion and humanity that you could see coming out of Wade during the scene, but also becasue of the emotion and humanity that it brought out in the men around him during, and after his death. I will always hold it against the Captain that he decided to not move past the the Radar Tower.

[larrymcg421]

That's a great pick, but I support the Captain's reasoning. If they left the maching gun nest, then they'd just be leaving it for someone else to get killed. If it was a larger unit, they could've been decimated if they didn't see the nest before it saw them.

[Radii]

4.4 - Best Death in a Comedy - Sir Bors killed by killer Rabbit of Caerbannog - Monty Python and the Holy Grail

4.5 Best Death in an Action Movie--King Kong--King King

I am certainly getting my share of non humans. but this scene still being here this late had to be taken care of.

[Karlifornia]

4.5 Best Death in an Action Movie--King Kong--King King

I am certainly getting my share of non humans. but this scene still being here this late had to be taken care of.

Had thought about this, but forgot. Nice pick.

[spleen1015]

King Kong was on my list. Good pick.

[larrymcg421]

I'm certain we all know, but you may want to specify which King Kong you're talking about.

[Schmidty]

King Kong was my next pick.

[lordscarlet]

My advisor (read: Wade) isn't around, so I'm going to make this pick by the seat of my pants! Oh no!

I am not big on action movies, but over the past 20 or so years, I think it's hard to beat this one.

4.6 Best Death in an Action Movie - Hans Gruber, Die Hard

Running it in super-slo-mo, with lame techno music dubbed in doesn't make it a great pick, I'm afraid.

[Crim]

I hadn't considered that scene at all larry, but a pretty good pick I think.

[Chief Rum]

Yeah, that's an excellent pick. Very powerful scene. I remember the first time I saw that, I so hated Tom Berenger's character I wanted to reach through the screen and kill him myself.

[lordscarlet]

Running it in super-slo-mo, with lame techno music dubbed in doesn't make it a great pick, I'm afraid.

It's the only one I could find. I would love to swap it with a better one if you can find it.

4.11 Best Death in a Action Movie-Russell Franklin(Samuel L Jackson) gets eaten by a shark-Deep Blue Sea

[lordscarlet]

pm'd. What category for the Sam Jackson death?

[DeToxRox]

LOL. I love the Sam Jackson DPS death. It's why he took the movie.

[stevew]

I will clean up the pick and slot it when I get home

[bhlloy]

I hope I'm not crashing the party with my comments, but that Samuel L Jackson death was by far the best WTF moment I have ever seen in a movie (and it was an abysmal movie for the other hour and a half) Great, great pick that hopefully won't get marked down because the movie was so bad.

[stevew]

I'm going action I think.

[Crim]

Definitely agree. This is one scene I had in mind when I first started reading along in this thread. Great, great, pick.

[Crim]

Hope it's okay to do this:

[DeToxRox]

LOL. I can't stop laughing watching that.

[Buccaneer]

I disagree. I remember seeing that movie several years ago and thought that part was very cheesy (seeing it again confirms it). Jaws did it much more suspenseful 20 years earlier. Pales in comparison to many of the death picks, imo.

[bhlloy]

Well, yeah I would definitely pick it for comedy rather than action. In that category though, it pretty much stands alone IMO.

[AENeuman]

4.12 Best Gunshot Death, Police Commissioner, Godfather

YouTube - Godfather Restaurant - I'm gonna speak Italian to Mike (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymoGJsaSS6c&feature=related)

5.2 Best suicide, TV-Facing 55 years in prison for various crimes, PA State Treasurer W Budd Dwyer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budd_Dwyer) calls a press conference and shoots himself in the mouth on live TV.

[stevew]

Dola. Posting this would be a banable offense.

[Karlifornia]

Interesting picks, Steve

[lordscarlet]

stevew's suicide pick seems pretty good, but am I the only one that hasn't seen DBS or heard of Bill Dwyer?

And now for more of why people don't like me when it comes to drafts. :)

Is it just me, or do the "double" picks from movies take away from those picks? I think there should have been a rule taking a movie away if someone else picked it. In lieu of that, however, it seems to diminish the individual picks when you realize that movie was used for something else. I suppose some movies have very specific deaths that go in specific categories, but....

I have not seen either.. Also you have a point on the "double picks" but we decided that they be allowed. I think that there are several movies where the double dipping into them makes sense.

[Sun Tzu]

I considered Drago but...Rocky IV just felt like this big long music video and I couldn't get emotionally involved at any point. I mean don't get me wrong, I own all 6 Rocky films, but I'd probably rank IV down there with V in emotional impact.

[Sun Tzu]

Dola

Schmidty wins the serial killer one. Finely done good sir.

5.4 - Best death in a comedic movie - Brian's crucifixion, Life of Brian
