Build Your Own Hollywood Studio DRAFT!! (Game Thread)

[Abe Sargent]

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

Oh, and make sure you choose a name for your studio, or else I will assume you just want Yourhandle Studios.



Here is the draft order, randomized for your fun.



1. larrymcg421
2. Greyroofoo
3. Jedikooter
4. ntndeacon
5. jbergey22
6. Lathum
7. CrimsonFox
8. Mustang
9. Izulde
10. DrAFTjunkie

And then the next round is...

1. DrAFTjunkie
2. Izulde
3. Mustang
4. CrimsonFox
5. Lathum
6. jbergey22
7. ntndeacon
8. Jedikooter
9. Greyroofoo
10. larrymcg421

In reversed order. Then repeat each other round.



Remember, here are the basic rules:

1. 2 each of Director, Producer, Lead and Supporting Actor and Actress.
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!

[larrymcg421]

What Better? Pictures

[larrymcg421]

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?

[ntndeacon]

Ruddy Rhenish Productions

[CrimsonFox]

Winter Wolf Studios

[Lathum]

Larry can pick now, correct?

[Abe Sargent]

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.

[larrymcg421]

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.

[Izulde]

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

Probably easiest just to add a second IP.

[larrymcg421]

Yeah, I'm working on it now.

[jbergey22]

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

[Mustang]

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

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

[larrymcg421]

1.1 Alfred Hitchcock, Director, Golden Age

[Izulde]

Great opening pick.

[Lathum]

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.

[Greyroofoo]

Pick forthcoming...

[JediKooter]

Yup, good pick larry.

[Greyroofoo]

1.2 Walt Disney, Producer, Golden Age

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

[Izulde]

Fantastic pick in a tough category.

[Lathum]

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

[JediKooter]

1.3 John Ford, Producer, Golden Age

[Greyroofoo]

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

[Izulde]

I really like this idea.

[Lathum]

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

[JediKooter]

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

[jbergey22]

Strong picks so far.

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

[DrAFTjunkie]

I second that.

[Mustang]

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.

[Abe Sargent]

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

[Lathum]

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

[Lathum]

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

[wade moore]

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)

[ntndeacon]

1.4 Katharine Hepburn, Leading Actress, Golden Age

[ntndeacon]

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

[Abe Sargent]

From jbergey's list:

1.5 Stephen Spielberg, Director

[Abe Sargent]

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

1.6 George Lucas, Producer

[Abe Sargent]

CrimsonFox is on the clock.

[Greyroofoo]

Those were the next 2 on my list!

[Mustang]

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