Cross-Cutting: A movie based forum game!

1. The Shawshank Redemption
2. The Godfather
3. The Godfather Part 2
4. Inception
5. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
6. Pulp Fiction.
7. Schindler's List.
8. 12 Angry Men
9. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
10. Star Wars Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back

These are the ten films that make up the top ten on IMDB via ratings. No doubt, this does not represent any of your lists.

What it does represent, is a starting point for a Metanet forum game. This is Cross-Cutting. (Inspired by Kotaku's Cannon Fodder)

How to play: Whenever you want to, make a post. Within this post, you can use three powers:

Jump Cut: Replace any movie on the list with a movie of your choosing. (e.g. Jump Cut: Schindler's List for Close Encounters of the Third Kind.)

Crossfade: Switch the place of two movies on the list. (Crossfade: 12 Angry Men and Schindler's List. They switch places.)

Cutting Room Floor: Undo the move of a previous poster. (CRF: gloomp. Gloomp's addition of Oldboy is reversed and Star Wars is put back again.)


Some other rules:

You only have one of each power for season one, which will last a week. In addition to that, you have to use CFR in congress with another power. Powers do not accumulate, ie if you wait a week, you've lost your chance. Finally, you can use all three whenever you want; use Jump Cut now, use Crossfade and CFR in four days. All good.

Do it.

CURRENT LIST:
1. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
2. Schindler's List.
3. Adaptation
4. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
5. Pulp Fiction
6. Inception
7. The Dark Knight
8. 12 Angry Men
9. Star Wars V: The Empire Strikes Back.
10. The Shawshank Redemption

Gah poop dang. What if we've already used our other two powers? Is the CRF made invalid?

Yes.
But I did not count your last use as a power, now that you know what you do.

Would I be able to just CRF one of the powers you just used, and not the CRF? You would have to specify which power you used with the CRF, I guess.

Yes. As long as you used your remaining power simultaneously.

Oh fuck you Yahoozy. 12 Angry Men is garbage. I love Fonda and his acting, but I didn't enjoy that shit at all.


Anyways,

CRF: Curse of the Colonel, and Crossfade Inception and The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly

An aside: I think it would be good if people included the latest version of the list w/ their changes in every post. Otherwise it's hard to know where things are at and when the first post was last updated.
