Okay folks, here is where you will actually draft. When you make a selection, please bold it for ease of reading. Thanks!

Remember, here are the basic rules:

2. At least 4 of those have to be Golden Age of Hollywood (1927-60)
3. You must draft TWO intellectual properties that have never been made into a movie.
4. You are drafting movies, not TV
5. There are 6 hours between picks maximum, then you are skipped or I use the pm of picks you sent me. If you tell me to in the pm, I will just pick as soon as the person before you picks, so we can keep moving.
6. Please pm the person after you so they know their time is up.

Have fun and good luck all!

I hereby name my studio: 21st Century Jedi Artists LLC

I'll be DreamTrout Pictures

Asswhites Limited Studios

Prestige Worldwide Entertainment works for me

Nick & Melody Films

Animated GIF Studios

I'll go with Junkhead Productions

What Better? Pictures

I have a question. With the intellectual property category, that makes 13 rounds and makes the snake format unbalanced. Can we add another category or maybe make it one selection for producer?

Ruddy Rhenish Productions

Winter Wolf Studios

Larry can pick now, correct?

Yup, any time, bu tht eclock doesn;t start until tom morning.

If you guys care that much, I can add a second IP. Or I can rerandomize the 13th round if you want. Just let me know. I'm Abeflexible.

Well, I actually have the advantage. I'll pick 1st 7 times and last 6 times. So I was just trying to be fair. It's not a big deal for me if no one else minds.

I'd say either add a second IP or randomize the 13th round.

Probably easiest just to add a second IP.

Yeah, I'm working on it now.

Its cool with me. I dont see a huge advantage in picking 1st or 10th in the 13th round.

The 13th round is important. It is where Kirk Cameron has value.

Wait, never mind, that is the 777th pick where he has value.

Great opening pick.

Never thought that would be the first pick. He's a ringer but I thought number one was clear cut. Still, nice guy to have in your stable.

Pick forthcoming...

Yup, good pick larry.

1.2 Walt Disney, Producer, Golden Age

The man made an empire with a mouse and ushered in a golden era of animated films.

Fantastic pick in a tough category.

Walt is a good one, would have never thought of him.

If we go with the 'add another category' route I think Music Composer would be a good one.

I really like this idea.

Totally disagree. It would be a one horse race and several people no one has ever heard of.

As long as no one takes Danny Elfman or John Williams...oh I see what Lathum is getting at. ;)

Strong picks so far.

Mine is in, so if Im not around Lathum you wont have to wait.

I second that.

If you want a specific IP, you could make one of them Adapted Screenplay and make it a book that hasn't been made into a movie.

Okay, you now how to draft two separate IPs, never made into a movie before.

I will be on to make my pick assuming NTN goes and Abe puts Jbergeys in

Sent my picks in to Abe since I am on the west coast I dont wanna hold up things in the morning.

Impressive when there is a pick in the top 3 that I have no idea who they are ;).

(I looked him up on IMDB and I still don't understand why he's top 3 worthy - but that's why I didn't enter this one, the Golden Age thing is not in my wheelhouse at ALL)

who don't you know? I mean the greatest thriller director ever, the head of the greatest franchise, and the greatest western director.

From jbergey's list:

1.5 Stephen Spielberg, Director

From Lathum's list, he said go ahead and pick:

1.6 George Lucas, Producer

CrimsonFox is on the clock.

Those were the next 2 on my list!

I'm after Crimson, guess I have some thinkin' to do.

Ah - Western Director - that would explain it ;).

I had no clue who he was either.

Nice pick! Slim pickins in the Golden age for great actresses IMO.

Given the demographics of this board I am thriled Lucas was still around at 6

I think Hepburn is a great value pick.

I think, because of the demographics of this board, that Lucas could bite you in the end - but I'm not sure. Some people (I'm not one of them) have a real hatred for what he did with episodes 1-3.

I hate all of you for not including me.

I'm approaching my squad from a different standpoint. And the guy produced Star Wars and Raiders. what more could you want. Plus Howard the Duck, c'mon!

Oooooh Lea Thompson and Chip Zien! (whose only other credit I know of is the Baker in the Broadway version of Into the Woods)

"Talk about a rotten day!"

Yeah, cause having the most Best Director academy awards of all time is bad.

I think if you have a guy people have to go look up you are hurting yourself. PEople aren't going to take the time to do that when voting.

That's really the reason why I didn't take him with my pick.

My pick will be up shortly

If I'm starting a movie studio, I want to make cash so...

1.8 : James Cameron, Director

I almost took Cameron, thought he may slip. FWIW Mustang has a similar philosophy that I do. That's why I took Lucas. He made billions from the star wars technology and everything that spun off from it.

I had played with picking both Spielberg and Stewart. It saddens me that they boh are gone. but does not surprise me.

okay I'm here. Just woke up. Give me a second.

1.9 Humphrey Bogart - Lead Actor (Golden Age)

One of the greatest and most famous actors in history, many of his lines have entered in the American cultural lexicon, particularly from Casablanca. Others of his hits include The Maltese Falcon, The Big Sleep, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre and The African Queen, the last the only one he won an Academy Award for Best Lead Actor. He appeared in 75 films throughout his career.

Izulde's first pick is Sleeping Beauty...

1.10- Bette Davis, Lead Actress (Golden Age)

Eleven Oscar Nominations for Best Actress with two wins. Almost wrote Bette Midler, which would've been disastrous. Aside from the producer category, the actress category seems to be the thinnest, which leads to my next pick.

2.1- Merryl Streep, Lead Actress

Sixteen Oscar Nominations with two wins. As I said, the actress category is quite thin comparatively speaking, so I decided to load up while I still can. As far as Oscar nominations go, Streep and Davis are #1 and #3 all time.

2.2 Audrey Hepburn - Lead Actress (Golden Age)

Breakfast at Tiffany's and Roman Holiday are her two most well-known films. Even today, she represents a quietly elegant, high-class beauty that presents a startling contrast to certain, more aggressive actresses. Won an Academy Award and a Golden Globe for Roman Holiday and received several other award nominations.

Has to be my pick I assume? :D

My movie studio isn't gonna make no damn girly movies.

Pick 2.3: John Wayne, Lead Actor (Golden Age)

Uh, Abe?

Audrey Hepburn's a Golden Age pick. :)

I should be around in an hour or so to make my pick if crimson gets gis in.

MOTHER F#$%#%!!!! ;)

Fixed!

I'll take that as a compliment. :)

Indeed it is sir!

James Cameron and John Wayne... Can you say epic fucking Westerns?

All the indians would be CG. ;)

Looks like we've stagnated a bit. Dud mustang pm crimson?

I received a pick from CF< but it was already taken.

Yep

Who was it?

I am picturing John Wayne as the lead in Avatar....

Timestamp on this is 1:33, so CrimsonFox has until 7:33, still a couple of hours to go.

Do we always do 6 hour clocks? 2 hours was sticking in my mind for some reason

when does the clock stop for the night?

6 does seem a little long.

When I head to bed :)

My pick is in.

After CF picks. It shouldnt be a long wait for your pick ntn as Im guessing Lathum wont take long to get his in.

CF has not made his pick as of 7:43, he is skipped. Lathum is on the clock.

CrimsonFox may make a selection whenever, but for now the draft continues.

darn eastern time

2.5- Martin Scorsese-Director- Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Color of Money, Casino, etc... The guy knows how to make hits.

Nice one

Hi, CrimsonFox!

CF is back.
