RE: the ‘Famous Directors’ list - John Hughes died years ago.
And, anyway, Themed SDMB Celebrity Death Pool is just down the hall.
You listed ten picks and three alternates. Do you want to use the alternates as picks? Also, one of your picks is already dead.’
Please let me know how you wish to touch up your list.
Sorry.
Delete John Hughes (apologies!) Opt in Mel Brooks on main list. Delete Quentin Tarantino from alternates and replace with John Carpenter. Thank you!
Oh, you can enter your directors here just fine but like I said in that list, it gives you two bites at the apple, one themed and the other miscellaneous.
I will do that, but it still leaves you with ten picks. Do you want the alternates to make your thirteen picks?
Time to get mine in before I forget and it’s Jan 1!
