Anyone ever play the movie game? (Name a film, then an actor in that film, then another film that actor was in, etc. without ever repeating any.) I used to play with friends, but now don't have any that will. :/ I remember one thread that went for WEEKS. We had a spreadsheet by the end to keep track of what had already been said. We = dorks.
Yeah, LogEx, exactly like that, except without the need to get to any specific point in a limited time. Six Degrees stresses me out (though we used to do that too, but not with Kevin Bacon - just pick two people and see how many close we could get them). How do you do it with music?

Rick Moranis, Ghostbusters. (gonna put the previous one in, so we don't get confused if there are overlapping comments.)

Jandy, either find a path from one song to another (via artist, title/cover, bandmates, etc., valid parameters to be agreed upon), or string together a playlist by changing only one element each step.

What's the penalty for getting one wrong?
- Tinfoil 2.0
Uh....we never had one. We just went back to the last correct one when someone called us on the wrong one.
- Jandy
Can we do tv shows, too? Because then I can play!
- Lis
By the strict rules, no - only movies, and only actors/actresses. We used to play house rules, though, that let us do TV shows if necessary and other crew if necessary. Not, like, going on IMDb and using the third grip, but you know, directors/screenwriters, that sort of thing. Well-known people. I have no problem with using TV shows, but I'd like not to get stuck in TV world - i.e., use TV actors who also have decent movie credits.

Zoe Saldana - Crossroads (Please let me be remembering this right, I can't lose on my first turn!)
- Joe "Looptid" Pierce
IMDb vindicates you, Joe. But I don't know the film, and I'm not clicking through and cheating, so let's see if someone else knows what to follow that with.
- Jandy
I've never seen it, but I looked up Zoe after Star Trek...for research
- Joe "Looptid" Pierce
Uh-huh. Is that what they're calling it these days?
- Jandy
Oh man, if we were doing TV shows I would have an awesome one...someone else can field the next Troyer flick though...2 easy ones come to mind immediately.
- Joe "Looptid" Pierce
Way to go, you picked potentially the only person in the film that I couldn't immediately think of a follow-up for. Especially if we're allowing TV shows. See if someone else can, though.
- Jandy
I can think of at least 3 right off hand! But the one I would use probably Would kill it dead.
- Joe "Looptid" Pierce
Joe, yeah he takes on a bet, with his friends for Lent, it goes up on the internet and he falls in love with a girl who is a net nanny, so she eventually finds out.

Sam Rockwell - Confessions of a Dangerous Mind
- Jandy
Drew Barrymore - Donnie Darko. [And with that I'm out for the night; see y'all tomorrow! Feel free to keep going, I'm curious to see how long this can go.]
- Jandy
Vincent Price- The House on Haunted Hill (b/w)
- Jenthemum
LOL - you guys did a lot while I was sleeping and gallivanting around town today. Not to be strict, but I think we need to go back to Mary McDonnell, because we already used Independence Day. (Also, Goldblum's The Fly and Price's The Fly are two different films.) Unfortunately, I can only go to a TV show from Mary McDonnell unless I cheat. Anyone else?
- Jandy
What was that one she did with Robert Redford?
- Bonnie Foster
I know.......Mary McDonnell - Sneakers!
- Bonnie Foster
Haha, does that mean I can safely go Sneakers - Robert Redford?
- Jandy
Sure! Robert Redford - Butch Cassidy and the Sundown Kid.....oops.....Sundance
- Bonnie Foster
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid - Paul Newman
- Jandy
[doesn't want to do Witherspoon because she wants someone else to pick a certain movie so she can go do the next one; but the likelihood of this all working as planned is miniscule, so....carry on]
- Jandy
>.< I can name 3 tv shows he has been on, but no movies that aren't named Pulse.
- Joe "Looptid" Pierce
DAMNIT, we were counting you to get us out of this! I did look him up to make sure he wasn't a dead end, and he's been in two or three well-known films.
- Jandy
Shall we allow a TV show? I know of at least one that will get us back into movies quickly.
- Jandy
Yeah, that's about the only way to do it at this point. Unfortunately, I don't know anything about The Hole, so I can't continue this from here anyway. :)
- Jandy
I brought it back up. I think I found it by looking for either Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt. Noticed Scarlett hadn't come up with a quick find.
