NHL Mega-Mock Draft Reboot - Discussion / Draft Thread – TITILLATING PHASE TWENTY-FOUR!

[Striiker]

I don't know how anyone set on 400 can aim without running out of desk.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I don't know what my mouse is set to, but I know that I kicked PoE's ass using my touchpad.

We start the day with @pit on the clock, @DancingPanther on deck, and @Young Sandwich on the lido deck. CanadianFlyer88 can pick when he gets back from the Celsius wilds, and so can Strawberry. Oh, and my brother will eventually pick his children's toy. Probably.

I bet you're wondering "What is that second Kingsman film like?" I can tell you - it's shit. Really stupid and poorly thought out. As in the first one, the villain (Julianne Moore in this case) was awful. I will tell you this, though - it has Halle Berry in it, and looking at Halle Berry always makes my eyes very, very happy. So that is that. I am also only one episode (plus 20 minutes) away from finishing season four of "Yes, I Do." I have really had enough of the Chinese subtitle weirdness for now.

 

[DancingPanther]

Oh no

I don't have a plan

I just read that big Dwayne is playing the villain in the 4th one. f*** me, right?

 

[Beef Invictus]

Oh no

Drink some vinegar to juice the mind

I have said for years - since he popped up in the G.I. Joe sequel - that he is out to ruin every single film franchise there is. What a c***.

 

[DancingPanther]

Wait I have a plan

 

[pit]

Sorry, was away yesterday. It was probably me subconsciously trying to avoid having to make this ASMR pick. Thanks to researching this crap, it is now in my Youtube algorithm, so I got that going for me.

There's nothing redeeming I can find in this ASMR practice, so I'm resorting to ASMR Dr. Phil murderporn? This is what you have all brought me to.



Team ASMR - Dr. Phil murderporn

@DancingPanther , does that seem like a reasonable thing for a person to say?

 

[DancingPanther]

Team slow dance song: through all these wonderful phases I haven't been able to select one of favorite bands, even with the superband supplemental drafts. Therefore, the Plats are proud to take Marianas Trench under their wing by picking their song BESIDE YOU as our team slow dance song



@CanadianFlyer88 you are doing it

Wait just kidding @Young Sandwich is up BUT CF88 can also pick whenever apparently lol

 

[Asnito]

I propose that we never revisit ASMR as a category again.

 

[Young Sandwich]

I was waffling on the movie quote until a lightbulb went on in my head this morning. You see, my wife just got on a plane to fly 3000 miles directly into a hurricane for a work trip. That's LA in case anyone didn't know. A place not nearly equipped to deal with a tropical storm let alone a hurricane. You might say I am quite unpleased by the timing of this whole scenario, especially since she is supposed to meet me in Denver later this week for my 40th birthday vacation. All that anxiousness lead me to this selection you might remember from such films as [RANCH], [RANCH], and the timeless [RANCH], among countless others.

Team Movie Quote - "F*ck" - Various

Now we await the stragglers.

[CanadianFlyer88]

Word of advice to all: best to avoid camping trips when smoke from 1000s of hectares of forest fires is billowing into your area. Feel like I smoked a never ending cigarette for 48 hours. Blech.

I guess it's time for some make up picks. Apologies, it's been a busy summer.

Make-up pick #1: team Apple

We already laid claim to our owner's (Steve Ballmer) favourite tech company, Apple, so it only makes sense to look to their catalogue. We're going to go a little off the board here and select the iPod mini as our team Apple.

It's an irrelevant item now with the advancements in smart phones, but this was my go to exercise companion for years.

Make-up pick #2: team Children's Toy

The Seattle Sockeyes also already own the greatest children's toy, Lego... and apparently the greatest nut since the Quackverse can't seem to get enough of our delicious *macadamia* nuts.

We all know Lego isn't just for kids, so we're happy enough that we get an opportunity to snag another.

A simple cube with six different colours that has frustrated millions, but can be solved by geniuses in seconds, we are happy to add the Rubik's cube.



Make-up pick #3: team ASMR artist

We know nothing about ASMR.

The Made in France ASMR channel seems to be popular, so we'll take that. I didn't even watch/listen to a snip from the channel, so I have no idea what the channel actually does.

Think that catches me up.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I also loved those iPod Minis, as everyone did. Thing is, I got a minidisc player soon after. That lasted for about six months, but it was lovely.

We have reached the end of the order and now await the make-up picks. My brother @Hollywood Cannon has one, and @Strawberry Fields has two, I think, and that will finish off this phase. Then I will get the next one ready.

I have reached the end (as of now) of the "Kingsman" series. The third one was not as bad as the second one, but it was far more pointless. Also, I am pretty sure that in the earlier films they suggested that the agency was created in the 1860s, but this one suggested that it was created after the Great War. I could be wrong, but I am fairly confident they are wrong.

I also reached the end of season four of "Yes, I Do." That was one of my favorites through the first two iterations, but the subtitles are just too f***ed to enjoy anymore. That makes me a little sad, but on the other hand I can now finally watch the fourth season of the Korean "Heart Signal," which I have been waiting donkey's yonks for. Buckle up, buckaroos.

 

[Lord Defect]

@BiggE could I perhaps have one wrestler from your stable please?

Minidisk was greatest and best. Second only to Zune.

 

[BiggE]

Yeah, lemme see if Doink is available

 

[Lord Defect]

Yeah, lemme see if Doink is available

I was thinking more along the lines of this guy

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I can't believe we have to look at that disgusting picture above. F***'s sake.

@Hollywood Cannon and @Strawberry Fields have a little to do, but otherwise we are chilling.

Yosh.

 

[ajgoal]

Ban that man.

We should all be doing our best to move to the next page.

 

[BiggE]

Here you go, @Lord Defect , he’s all yours

 

[ajgoal]

You all are slacking. Work harder.

Except @Lord Defect. Please don't work harder at anything. It's painful enough to watch as it is.

This is a good idea.

Here is a paste.

The K2 (Korean: 더 케이투; RR: Deo Keitu) is a 2016 South Korean television series starring Ji Chang-wook, Song Yoon-ah and Im Yoon-ah. It premiered on tvN every Friday and Saturday at 20:00 (KST) from September 23 to November 12, 2016 for 16 episodes.[1]

Synopsis
Kim Je-ha (an alias) is a former mercenary soldier for the PMC Blackstone. While in Iraq, he gets framed for the murder of his lover Raniya, a civilian. As a result, he runs away and becomes a fugitive. He returns to South Korea and by chance is offered work as a bodyguard by Choi Yoo-jin, the owner of JSS Security Company and wife of presidential candidate Jang Se-joon. He accepts the job in exchange for resources that he needs to get his revenge on another presidential candidate, Park Kwan-soo, who previously ordered Raniya's killing. Je-ha is assigned to guard Go An-na, the hidden daughter of Jang Se-joon whose life is always threatened because of Yoo-jin, her stepmother. An-na, who has been a recluse and lonely all her life, starts relying on Je-ha, who shows concern for her and protects her at all costs. They slowly fall in love, causing Je-ha to be torn between having to work with his boss, Yoo-jin, to enable him to take revenge on Park Kwan-soo and protecting his newfound love, An-na, against the wishes of Yoo-jin.

Another key figure is Choi Yoo-Jin's half brother, Choi Sung-won, the son of her father's mistress and eventual second wife, who is his half-sister's fierce rival. Plotting with Park Kwan-soo, he eventually causes the deaths of Jang Se-joon and Choi Yoo-jin but later pays for this with his life at the hands of Choi Yoo-Jin's devoted (and ruthless) assistant Kim Dong-mi. Je-ha achieves his goal of revenge, with Park hanging himself for his atrocious acts and Je-ha clearing his name. The series ends with Je-ha and An-na embracing in a foreign country, with An-na asking Je-ha what his real name is and Je-ha about to reveal it.

Cast
Main
Ji Chang-wook as Kim Je-ha[2][3]
Choi Seung-hoon as young Kim Je-ha
The main protagonist of the series. He is a former Blackstone military operative who had been stationed in Iraq until he flees South Korea after being framed for murder. His skills come to the attention of Choi Yoo-Jin, who hires him to work for her security agency JSS Security under the codename K2, and is assigned as bodyguard to Go An-na's, the secret illegitimate daughter of Choi's husband, Jang Se-joon. The name "Kim Je-ha" is not Je-ha's real name but an alias he uses to conceal his identity while working as An-na's bodyguard; the name actually belongs to a victim of an unsolved missing person case. The real name of the protagonist is unknown throughout the show, except that his real surname is said to be Kim.
Song Yoon-ah as Choi Yoo-jin[4]
She is the wife of Jang Se-joon. The eldest daughter of a chaebol family, she was disinherited from the JB Group conglomerate as her father disapproved of a politician as a son-in-law, although she received control of JSS Security. Ambitious and merciless, her corrupt nature is due to the result of her upbringing. She sets her sights on becoming the First Lady and is willing to manipulate An-na and her husband to further her aims. As the series progresses, she begins to develop feelings for Je-ha after he rescues her from an exploding car.
Im Yoon-ah as Go An-na or Anna
Lee Yoo-joo as young Go An-na
She is the illegitimate daughter of Jang Se-joon who is kept hidden from the public to protect his political career. After her father's affair was discovered, An-na was exiled from Korea and grew up in Spain at a convent, under the constant surveillance of her cruel stepmother Choi Yoo-jin. An-na has developed a social phobia and experiences panic attacks from flashing lights, a result of PTSD stemming from her past connection to the death of her biological mother. She returns to South Korea from Barcelona and becomes a pawn in her stepmother's plan to control her husband's political career from behind-the-scenes. She later falls in love with Je-ha.
Jo Sung-ha as Jang Se-joon
He is a philandering presidential candidate partially responsible for corrupting his wife. He is also An-na's biological father. Because of An-na, whose existence is unknown to the public, he is unwillingly under the control of his corrupt wife, who blackmails him into doing her bidding. Throughout the series, he doesn't seem to show that he cares for his daughter, but later he reveals to Je-ha that he truly loves her and is willing to submit to his wife just to keep An-na safe.

He is Se-joon's political rival and leader of the current ruling party. He is the main antagonist of the series.
Supporting

Production
The drama is written by scriptwriter Jang Hyuk-rin, who wrote Yong-pal (2015) and directed by Kwak Jung-hwan of Neighborhood Hero (2016).[12][13]

Being depicted with a bodyguard action theme, the drama utilized various fighting techniques including systema, taekwondo, aikido, and jujutsu for its action scenes. It became the first Korean television drama to introduce the Bullet Time effect.[14][15]

The first script reading was held in August 2016 at the CJ E&M Center in Seoul, South Korea.[16] Filming began in September.

Some scenes of the drama, primarily in episodes 1 and 2, were filmed in Catalonia (along the mountain of Montserrat, the Gothic and Baroque Cistercian Monastery of Santes Creus in Aiguamúrcia), followed by various places in Barcelona (center, Old City, etc., as well as various metro / commuter rail stations such as Plaça d'Espanya and Magòria / La Campana), Gaudí's Modernista Colònia Güell Crypt (fashion show party) among other locations in Spain (probably near Almería for the Iraq War desert locations). The closing scene of episode 16 was filmed at Barcelona's Turó de la Rovira hill.[17][18][19][20][21] The rest of the series was apparently filmed in Korea.

The male lead Ji Chang-wook, due to his casting, became the highest-paid actor for a tvN drama.[20] He had special training and performed the action stunts in the drama by himself, without a body double.[21] At the press conference, director Kwak expressed "On top of Ji's splendid action, the drama will tell the story of insatiable desire and political fights between people holding secrets of their own."
