OOn this island, we don't have unlimited ice chest, we have fresh water lakes, bountiful fruit trees, and a lifetime supply of boars to kill and eat. There's no hatches though, or smoke monsters, or strange people dressed like hobos that live on the other side of the island. What there is though, is a cave with a sofa, 60" LCD HDTV in the wall and 7.1 surround sound all powered by a nearby watermill. Theres obviously no cable or satellite, so we need some thing to watch on it. And what better than 20 of our favorite films.
The rules will be very similar to the Desert Island Music Draft Thread and are as follows:
Design: Upon deciding the draft order, each poster will select an movie that they want for their island (e.g., I have the number one pick, and I choose Battlefield: Earth. I would then write a brief reason why I chose that movie at 1.01. Something as brief as, "John Travolta and Forrest Whitaker's huge wigs are just too much to pass up on and I couldn't go long on an island without some of that fantastic dialouge" would work just fine. Try not to ramble like me though, maybe keep it 3 paragraphs max if you are just really enthralled by the movie..
[/COLOR]After the completion of all 20 rounds, a series of polls will be set up with the posters and their "collections," and KF.com would vote on the best collection. Winners will be advanced every week, playoff-style, until we get to the Finals.
Since I made the thread, like Slim Citrus, I announce myself as the commissioner. Registration, draft order, rule changes (if there are any), and any disputes/questions will be handled by me. [/COLOR][/FONT]
- 20 Rounds (Serpentine).
- PM the person after you when their pick is up.
- Must post a brief writeup on why you chose the movie you did.
- You cannot choose: Anything by Michael Moore. No, just kidding. But seriously, made-for-TV movies are off the table. However, straight-to-DVD/VHS movies are fine. However, if the made-for-TV movie was made for a cable station (like the upcoming Recount on HBO) it is acceptable. Just no shoddy, low budget, Lifetime pieces of garbage. There shouldn't be any, anyway.
- All else is fair game from the first motion picture in like 1889 (God help us if one of those is picked) to 2008.
-NOTE: You can only pick a movie unless it is legitimately out (in the US or elsewhere) on the day of your post. For example: I could pick Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull because it is out today. Yesterday, I could not have. Also, the Sex and the City movie is off the table until May 30th and so on. Again, God help us if anyone picks that
.
- 24 hour deadline between picks. After 24 hours, the pick advances to the next person. The person whose pick was skipped may still make their pick until (see:rule below), but they will no longer have priority (i.e., If I miss my pick, and then Bricklayer picks after me, and he picks Battlefield: Earth, that movie is off the table; I can't go back and pick it, even though I technically picked "first."
- If 12 or more picks have been made after any drafter's timed out pick, then that timed out pick is no longer usable and is void. For example, if I miss my 24 hour draft window and 14 picks are made between the time the window is over and the time I finally get on to make the selection, then my pick is gone.
- You can also PM your pick to VF21 or any other some other nonparticipant and have them post for you if you know you'll be gone. However, if you PM a movie that is chosen in between your PM and your actual drafting opportunity, your pick will be voided and we will again be 1 movie short.
-If for any reason you pick a movie that has already been picked, your pick will be void and unrepeatable. Just like the album thread I'll keep the list as up to date as I can, so make sure to refer to the list and the posts just before yours if it not completely up to date at the time of your post.
- Winner will be determined by a board wide vote on who has obtained the best collection
