October-December Drafting Thread (Division A)

Okay, guys, the prices for the upcoming season are set, and so it is time to begin the draft. Chien, by virtue of his Div. B victory, will pick first, and the other four players who remain in Div. A will pick in reverse order.

1. Chien, 7/$98 - The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Flight, Rust and Bone, Monsters Inc., Sinister, Alex Cross, The Paperboy, A Royal Affair
2. Buscemi, 8/$98 - Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2, Frankenweenie, Life of Pi, Parental Guidance, The Sessions, Seven Psychopaths, Zero Dark Thirty, Cirque du Soleil: Worlds Away
3. surfer, 8/$94 - Wreck-It Ralph, Jack Reacher, Argo, Django Unchained, Hyde Park on Hudson, Here Comes The Boom, Amour, A Late Quartet
4. W, 8/$100 - Skyfall, Lincoln, Paranormal Activity 4, Cloud Atlas, Anna Karenina, This Must Be The Place, Butter, Brooklyn Castle
5. Banks, 8/$92 - Taken 2, Rise of the Guardians, This is 40, Silver Linings Playbook, Les Miserables, Killing Them Softly, Middle of Nowhere, The Loneliest Planet

Forty movies will be chosen, but there are 56 movies to choose from (so far), so any movie can be dropped in favor of another, but not until after the draft is complete.

Let the draft begin!

[Chienfantome]

Although it only has 3 weekends in play, and despite the disgusting Twilight temptation, I will grab The Hobbit as my #1 pick.

[Buscemi]

Decisions, decisions. Skyfall is a tempting pick but no Bond entry has ever hit $200 million (also, I think the Fincher-esque look and the 145 minute run time will turn off new viewers).

So I will take Breaking Dawn Part 2 though it will be the second lowest grossing of the series.

[BanksIsDaFuture]

This season is stacked. As the two time champ, I need to keep my streak alive.

[Chienfantome]

Suuuurfer, where are you ?

[Shrykespeare]

I've e-mailed him. Twice.

[W]

Let me know how long you want to wait. I'm fine with giving him until he responds (for the first round) considering it was pretty much a spur of the moment thing.

[Shrykespeare]

My thoughts exactly. Plus, it's the weekend... for all I know, he and the wife may have taken off for the Outback.

[silversurfer19]

Sorry guys, Wreck It Ralph. Cheaper and with an equal chance at both BO and Top 5s, I think it's a better pick than Skyfall.

[W]

Wish I had the next two picks instead of this one...

Skyfall.

[BanksIsDaFuture]

Taken 2 & Rise of The Guardians

[W]

I guess I'll take Lincoln.

[silversurfer19]

All much of a muchness at the moment. Jack Reacher.

[Buscemi]

Frankenweenie. Animation, 3-D and a cute little dog. How can you go wrong?

[Chienfantome]

Good pick Boosch, I wanted it.
Okay two films to choose. I'll grab Flight and Rust & Bone.
