For my third pick, I'm taking Harrison Ford because, dammit, someone has to. Bruce Lee Tom Hardy Harrison Ford I'm jealous of the Kurt Russell choice. He was going to be my third. I already took him. Isn't it enough you stole Bruce Lee from me? I was hoping he would somehow slip to day 2 and you took him right out of the gate! Shit! Then I’ll go with Liam Neeson. Every team needs that guy who can just walk around Paris murdering everyone with nary a single consequence.

I'm fairly certain Besson meant Taken as a spoof of American action movies, and it became a huge hit. It's a nonsensical 80s actioner that somehow came out in 2009. I love it and I still can't believe it exists. Also, Lima Neeson should make a threatening phone call in every movie he's in from here on out. I saw Honest Thief (also starring Jeffery Donovan!) a few months back and he makes a classic Neeson call to the bad guy toward the end, it's great.

He was my next pick - which is why I wanted to keep picking
Millar you b@stard!
Christian Bale (Patrick Bateman) was also going to be my only actual actor I picked as well - should have just taken him first

Well... I guess my first pick will be Tom Cruise.
The Mission: Impossible series, Minority Report, Top Gun, Edge of Tomorrow, Jack Reacher... War of the Worlds (you get rid of the shit with the son and it’s a pretty fuckin good movie that dabbles with greatness).

War of the Worlds (you get rid of the shit with the oldest son and it’s a pretty fuckin good movie that dabbles with greatness). That crazy little midget has made a ton of good to great action movies.

Is there going to be a 'Big Board' at the end of the night with everybody's picks - i.e. like a list of posters with their picks so we don't mistakenly pick somebody elses?
Also - down the line - are trades allowed? Like if I wanted to trade two of my Heros for 1 - (i.e. Patrick Bateman or Hulk Hogan)
My team thus far -
Mike Tyson The Rock Andre the Giant

War of the Worlds (you get rid of the shit with the son and it’s a pretty fuckin good movie that dabbles with greatness). War of the Worlds has some great moments, but also has some terrible ones. He's not bad in it, and that first act attack sequence is pretty awesome, but the Tim Robbins sequence is stupid and the ending where everyone is just miraculously fine and then Morgan Freeman's voice suddenly pops up to tell us that germs killed the aliens. I know that's more or less accurately adapted from the book in some ways, but it's a shitty way to end the movie.

I was actually going to throw out some rules changes tomorrow and see what you guys thought. - Increasing the picks from 3 to 5 per day - Trades (It's up to the posters, as far as I'm concerned. If you really want someone, you can trade your whole roster for 1 actor for all I care. No trading up in the draft order though, those limits must remain intact if everyone is to get an equal chance.) - Maybe some kind of distinction as to who is a starter/bench player or major leaguer/minor leaguer. Not an issue at the moment, but a fun wrinkle to fiddle with as our rosters grow. If I'm around, I'm going to try to list everyone's picks thus far near the top of the page whenever I see a new one has started. Really anyone can do this and it would be much appreciated if you notice a new page before I do. The first list will be a bit labor intensive, after that it'll just be copy and paste with whatever new players/picks were made that day added to it. And of course I'm open to suggestions. This has been a fun beta test of a meaningless exercise thus far, anything you guys think we can do to make it better is open for discussion.

With my 2nd pick, I choose Jesse "The Body" Ventura.
Another true American tough guy who took his badass talents all the way to being elected Governor of the state of Minnesota, a state obviously populated by morons.
So I've got The Hulkster and Jesse The Body so far....
