foleyfanforever88 0 Report post Posted September 7, 2008 Since there aren't any actors left on my list that I HAVE to get, I think it's time to pick an actress. I'll start with one of my favorite women in the world. Rachel McAdams Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted September 7, 2008 It seems like this draft is very modern era-focused. Almost like no one except the few same people watches a movie older than 15 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Exslade ZX 0 Report post Posted September 7, 2008 It seems like this draft is very modern era-focused. I personally have never, and probably will never watch a majority of classic, black/white movies. They might be great, but just not something I'm interested in. And I know a lot of people who are like that. Although, with some of the movie discussions I've seen on TSM, I'm sort of surprised to more modern era people go too. But I mean hey, the first guy drafted was Peter O'Toole. That sort of cancels any of that out. Plus some of the directors. Hard to picture many of these older guys/ladies in a modern movie.

Ravenbomb 0 Report post Posted September 7, 2008 I picked mostly directors from older eras and have at least one more older director in mind, but will probably pick modern actors for the most part. I like to think about how newer actors would work with older directors. Like Herzog and Bale worked together in Rescue Dawn and it was fantastic. Those kinds of things interest me.

USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted September 7, 2008 I don't know if I classify Bale as a new actor. He's been trained as an actor since being a young kid. I think he maintains some of the discipline that the old school guys taught him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ravenbomb 0 Report post Posted September 7, 2008 Yeah, but he wasn't even born when Herzog was doing stuff like Aguirre and Fitzcarraldo. But ok, set Bale aside for a moment, the movie also had Steve Zahn giving his best performance ever (I'm usually pretty neutral on Zahn). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! 0 Report post Posted September 7, 2008 I drafted Joel & Ethan because I believe that they could work with any performer, regardless of which era they are from. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kahran Ramsus 0 Report post Posted September 8, 2008 My next pick is my favourite living actress, and one of the most versatile actors out there, male or female. She can play almost literally anything. Cate Blanchett I also need a real evil bastard. I'm fortunate that I can get one that is also more than capable of being a lead actor. Ralph Fiennes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Obi Chris Kenobi 0 Report post Posted September 8, 2008 Excellent choice on Ralph, I had him lined up to be one of my next draft picks. I'm surprised he hasn't done more then he has in terms of movies to give him exposure. He's still pretty 'untapped' as far as I'm concerned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lt. Al Giardello 0 Report post Posted September 9, 2008 John Singleton, Director Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RonL21 0 Report post Posted September 9, 2008 John Singleton, Director Sad to say his best work was in his 20s. Like Boyz N Da Hood, Poetic Justice, Baby Boy(Which are actually kind of a trilogy). He's good at writing and producing also, but movies that he just directs are very mediocre. Like 2 Fast 2 Furious was ok and Four Brothers was alright.

Lt. Al Giardello 0 Report post Posted September 10, 2008 Dude, Rosewood(which makes me wanna kill white people after watching it), and Higher Learning were better then the three you mentioned. Rosewood he just directed it, and it was an amazing film. Plus Shaft was a very fun film as well IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted September 10, 2008 And, once again, EHME, you have spelled one of my picks wrong on the first post. It's Dennis Hopper, not Hooper. I wouldn't care, except when this gets too big for me to keep track of, I plan to use the search function on the first page to see if my latest consideration has been chosen.
