FOFC TV and Movie Draft Thread - Karl only picks busts - Page 3

spleen1015 · 04-24-2009, 02:00 PM

I just got done PMing you Karl.

Sun Tzu · 04-24-2009, 02:13 PM

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 · 04-24-2009, 02:51 PM

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

ntndeacon · 04-24-2009, 03:52 PM

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 · 04-24-2009, 05:48 PM

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.

2.2 Best Gunshot Death- Tommy gets whacked, Goodfellas

Radii · 04-24-2009, 05:57 PM

good choice

Sun Tzu · 04-24-2009, 05:59 PM

Agreed...

"oh no"

Sun Tzu · 04-24-2009, 06:01 PM

With the 2.3 pick in the draft...

Best Melee Death - Inigo Montoya slays Count Rugen

"Hello! My name is..."

Ronnie Dobbs2 · 04-24-2009, 06:01 PM

Karl looking very good in preseason.

Radii · 04-24-2009, 06:10 PM

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

lordscarlet · 04-24-2009, 06:13 PM

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 · 04-24-2009, 06:14 PM

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 · 04-24-2009, 06:19 PM

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.

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

Danny · 04-24-2009, 06:38 PM

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 · 04-24-2009, 06:43 PM

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.

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:

Front Office Football Central - View Single Post - Thanks For Killing Any Chance Of Decent Sleep, FOFC!

ntndeacon · 04-24-2009, 06:48 PM

I have my pick. ... just trying to find a you tube to go with it.

lordscarlet · 04-24-2009, 06:51 PM

ok, I'll stick around at work until you post it -- don't take too long

lordscarlet · 04-24-2009, 06:55 PM

dola: I should be able to put together the traditional google spreadsheet tomorrow while I wait for the HVAC guy.

ntndeacon · 04-24-2009, 06:56 PM

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

ntndeacon · 04-24-2009, 06:56 PM

I never can find what I am looking for. I will just post it.

lordscarlet · 04-24-2009, 06:57 PM

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...

2.6 Best Heroic Death - William Wallace, Braveheart

Danny · 04-24-2009, 06:58 PM

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

stevew · 04-24-2009, 07:08 PM

Well Karl just killed one of 2nd round possibilities.

Karlifornia · 04-24-2009, 07:11 PM

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.

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.

larrymcg421 · 04-24-2009, 07:19 PM

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

Buccaneer · 04-24-2009, 07:25 PM

Karlifornia · 04-24-2009, 07:27 PM

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 · 04-24-2009, 07:32 PM

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

Buccaneer · 04-24-2009, 07:33 PM

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 · 04-24-2009, 07:49 PM

ToD did suck - huge.

DeToxRox · 04-24-2009, 07:50 PM

Alright, pick upcoming

DeToxRox · 04-24-2009, 07:52 PM

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

ntndeacon · 04-24-2009, 08:02 PM

what is that from DeTox?

DeToxRox · 04-24-2009, 08:02 PM

Seinfeld.

Karlifornia · 04-24-2009, 08:04 PM

Solid pick. Possibly a bit of a reach though?

DeToxRox · 04-24-2009, 08:06 PM

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.

Hearing and seeing are two different things.

DeToxRox · 04-24-2009, 08:13 PM

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 · 04-24-2009, 08:33 PM

I think people are underestimating MASH

Logan · 04-24-2009, 08:35 PM

Not on this board.

Schmidty · 04-24-2009, 08:50 PM

I hate MASH.

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 · 04-24-2009, 09:12 PM

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 · 04-24-2009, 09:48 PM

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