Good drafting guys. The last 3 picks were all on the verge of being picked by me especially Escape from NY. I was Snake Pliskin for a couple years. 
However this was always going to be my next pick.

The music draft had lots of arm and leg room, this draft I always get the sense of "Gah! I can't get things off the board fast enough."

Picking on the corner and now 2nd in, I'm also always thinking in terms of twos with long waits.

I did like that back to back picks in the music draft for what it was but here I found this spot coming up quicker and quicker.

They join the Army in the first few scenes and there is a war scene in the end, a fictional war, granted. It's kinda borderline but if he's comfortable with putting it there, I don't mind.

I would let it stay there IMDB gives credit to war. Like my Weird Science- totally had it as comedy but IMDB had it as Sci Fi - you go girl.

If you're like shotsup and hadn't checked out page one lately, I'd recommend it. I keep four different metrics updated there.

It is definitely scarier, and just a better all around movie. Friday the 13th is iconic though, and 1980 is the worst year, it would have been a good yr fill in.

Yes, you're right on both accounts. Friday the 13th sparked a whole slew of spinoffs through the decade, which really promoted the popularity of brand and it would have also served as a great 1980 movie as well, which I need. I'll find another, I like plenty of movies that year, I'm not terribly worried about that right now.
