Six Degrees of Separation

[AceOfKnaves]

I'm sure this has been tried out before, but I hope that it will catch on here. :)

Okay, here's the game,

I will start by listing the name of two actors. The object of the game is to connect these actors through MOVIES ONLY (Animated Movies count as well).

Example:

Michael Keaton and Tom Arnold.

Micheal was in "Batman Returns" with Danny Devito
Danny was in "Twins" with Arnold Schwarzenegger
Arnold was in "True Lies" with Tom Arnold.

There you go.

Now, there doesn't have to be six people in between in the actors, it can be more or less. You just have to find some way to link them to each other in the movie world.
The person who connects them, get's to list the next two, but the TZ members who post the next set, make sure YOU know the connection. That way if you stump us, the game can continue with hints or releasing of that round.

Got it? If not, go ahead and ask.

The first two names are....

Jim Carrey and Tom Hanks

Good Luck!!!

[TimTwoFace]

Jim Carrey to Ed Harris (the Truman Show)
Ed Harris to Tom Hanks (Apollo 13)

OK, let's do this:

Michael Gough and Penelope Cruz

-Tim

[BeyondGotham]

Penelope was in Vanillia Sky with Cameron Diaz
Cameron Diaz was in Charlie's Angels with Drew Barrymore
Drew Barrymore was in Batman Forever with Micheal Gough



I'll wait to see if that is right...will post later...

[TimTwoFace]

Wow BeyondGotham, I didn't even think of that one. I was going to say:

Michael Gouch to Nicole Kidman (Batman Forever)
Nicole Kidman to Tom Cruise (a LOT of movies...say, Eyes Wide Shut)
Tom Cruise to Penelope Cruz (Vanilla Sky)

OK, well then, you're up!

PS - If you are sure that your answers are correct, go ahead and post a new question. The first person to make ANY connection at all wins - not the person who makes the quickest connection.

-Tim

[BeyondGotham]

okay..I think I have one...


Rebecca Gayheart to Carrie Fisher

There are a few that I know of...

[AceOfKnaves]

Carrie Fisher to Tom Hanks in The Burbs,
Tom to Steve Zahn in That Thing You Do,
Steve to Paul Walker in Joyride,

Wow, I really had to think on that one. :D

Kelly Preston to John Travolta in Battlefield Earth (not to mention they're married)
John Travolta to Christian Slater in Broken Arrow
Christian Slater to Mary Stuart Masterson in Bed of Roses
Mary Stuart Masterson to Johnny Depp in Benny & Joon

Went the long way around Selena so I didn't cheat! ;)


This should be pretty easy - Madonna to George Clooney

[BeyondGotham]

*question.. What if the way we have it figured is less than someone else? like when I asked the question..I have it down to 3...

[AceOfKnaves]

It doesn't matter how many actors they put in between the two, as long as it's a valid train of people.

The answer doesn't have to match your connection, and the only reason you need to know how they can be linked is just in case others can't think of it.

[BeyondGotham]

ok...just wondering... I have always done it the other way..who ever gets less..wins..but I've done it this way too... it's fun

[JMo]

Madonna was in Evita with Antonio Banderas
Antonio was in Spy Kids with George Clooney


Connect Kevin Spacy and Burce Willis

Wow, great! I love this game so much; it's one of my favorites. I almost thought I couldn't do it in 2, but then it hit me:

El Mark Hamillo was in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back with
Chris Rock who was in New Jack CITY with
Wesley.

Cool beans. Nice one, though. I'll pick two random people without thinking at all

[Trent Lane]

William Hurt and Sissy Spacek in Tuck Everlasting

[DaNang1970]

I love this thread so much! Allow me a moment to digress. I sat at my computer last night for hours while watching horror flicks on AMC, trying to connect Buster Keaton to the Olsen Twins in the shortest way possible. Long story short, I covered a used envelope with scribbles of names, and since I have yet to "cheat" at this by using sources, I didn't do it this time either. I dozed off and when I woke up a few minutes ago, it hit me! Anyhoo, if anyone else can make a shorter connection using only theatrical releases, I really, really, really, want you to post it.

Buster Keaton in It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World with
Sid Caesar in History of the World: Part 1 with
Mel Brooks in Litle Rascals with
Those darn little Olsen Twins. *sigh of relief*

Hell, neither did I! I looked it up on IMDB.com to look at the movies he did, and I went from there. Man, I was lucky to find that Alec Guiness connection, or I would've been screwed - he's only done UK productions, it looks like.

No one heard of Sid James?

No one seen any of those dreadful Carry On movies - full of dreadful British smut and innuendo - like Benny Hill? I thought they were popular state side... Hmm, oh well. My bad. Thought it may tax you lot, it won't be long before suggestions start to fall into predefined pathways (Jay And Silent Bob, Apollo 13 and Star Wars will become frequent visitors... you can do it through the Python crew but nevermind..! Anyway back to the game! :D

[Ed Liu]

Sorry Frozen honey, I think you were a bit too late in posting your comment. The current one is

Godzilla and Lucy Lawless...(You aren't using a TV movie connection are you?) *TIRED MIND WANDERS AROUND XENA TELEVISION MOVIES*

Holy cow! I started this thread hoping that it would get a few replies and it's taken off! YAY!!!

As I've read a few times, yes, it is ONLY movies that you can make the connection in, and really try not to use TV movies as your links, theater films are much easier to think of.

As for the current one, it requires a form of mental thought, that of which I can not do at the moment. :D

I'll make it tomorrow if no one has yet. *YAWN* Now that it's 6 in the morning, I should sleep. ;)

Triple Bonus for the person who can think of BOTH of the pairs listed by Ace the Bathound and Frozen. :) (Honestly, the bonus gets you no where. But it makes you feel smart. :cool: )

Postlethwaite was in Brassed Off with Ewan McGregor

Mcgregor was in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace with Samuel L Jackson

Bravo, SJJ - I might have known a fellow Black Hole fam such as yourself would get this... :D


Originally posted by SJJ

Bear with me, this is convoluted to say the least:

Peter Sellers was in The Pink Panther with David Niven
David Niven was in Casino Royale with Woody Allen
Woody Allen was in Small time Crooks with Hugh Grant
Hugh Grant was in Divine Bro... sorry Micky Blue Eyes with James Fox
James Fox was in Lost in Space with William Hurt
William Hurt was in Dark City with Rufus Sewell...

Blimey... really had to work at that. :D

OK, try connecting Pele with Ed Harris!

[DaNang1970]

Wow, I stayed away for a few days cuz I thought this thread had died; apparently it just went overseas for awhile. Let's see if I haven't forgotten how to do this...

Pele was in Hotshot with
Penelope Ann Miller who was in Kindergarten Cop with

Well, this is just off the top o' my head, but

George Takei was in Wrath of Kahn with
Ricky Montleban who was in A Life in the Balance with
Lee Marvin who was in The Killers with
Ronald Reagan

I really want to see these guys get some play, so try
Telly Savalas and Scatman Crothers

[James]

Scatman is the guy who did Transformers, right? You can link them by one person then.

Telly Savalas was in the Gobots movie, War Of The Rocklords (which was appalling - even by GoBots standards) along with Frank Welker. Well, we can then use the mulittalented and vital ingredient to 6 Degrees old Frank to get to Scatman in Transformers The Movie.

This is getting tough. If anyone can pull this one off I'll be very impressed. Can't say I can at the moment! :D

Sam J Jones to Bjork

[Frozen]

Originally posted by SJJ

Sam J Jones to Bjork

Is Sam J Jones the blonde guy who did Flash Gordon? And aren't you supposed to know the answer before you set the question..? :D

[James]

Yeah that's right. I'm bending the rules like the naughty boy I am! :) I'm not sure. It CAN be done - I know that. Yes, I normally make sure I have a route - but this time I thought it would be interesting to see if anyone better than myself (which is no mean feat) can do it...! If not - I'll do it myself later today! :D

[Bobby Boy 101]

god, I love this game. Its like the 6 Degres of Kevin Bacon game!

i have a good one but I cant post now....:(

[James]

Okay, a rather star studded movie enticing list!!

Bjork was in the acclaimed Dancer In The Dark with David Morse

Morse was in the shocking Green Mile with Tom Hanks

Tomas Hanks was in the historical and popular Apollo 13 with... KEVIN BACON

Bacon goes straight to Kiether Sutherland without passing go in the cult 80's film Flatliners.

Kiether Sutherland plays in the under rated and original film, Dark City with Richard O'Brien

Richard O'Brien to Sam J Jones in the rather glitzy Spectacular FLASH GORDON.

Well since I had to answer my own for risk of killing the thread - I relinquish my right to the next question! :D

[Little John]

You can shorten the links to this one because David Morse was in Max Dugan Returns with Kiefer Sutherland. Removes Kevin Bacon completely from the picture. :)
