Originally written by Lt. Sullust:

Katharine Hepburn in On Golden Pond

EDIT: For clarification, can we connect actors from different versions of the same film? (i.e. the case for The Glass Menagerie that we have here)

No, unless we cannot find another way. However, there is definitely a way to do this. I would like to see a little work on the Jack Webb end before I allow indirect connections. This photograph may help:

The game is played as follows: two actors are given and must be connected through appearances in television shows or movies. The object is to connect the two actors with the fewest connections possible. Please READ THE RULES BEFORE POSTING, KEY RULES HAVE BEEN PUT IN BOLD!

ROUND V

Jerry Orbach to Jack Webb

Set point value = 6

Some rules:

1) You may only post a connection of an actor to a movie/TV show already established in the list. For instance, you may say "Tom Hanks in Forrest Gump" only if either Tom Hanks or Forrest Gump have been previously mentioned.

2) Posts should be in the form of: "actor" in "movie/television show" format. Do NOT do "actor X to actor Y in movie A". This keeps the game so others can participate.

3) You may only post ONE connection every three hours. After posting your connection, you must wait for three hours unless the connection has been established.


4) Once the actors are connected, you may post a list of all the connections regardless of any previous rules. The next round will begin in ~24 hours (at the discretion of the administrator) after the original connection is established.

5) During the ~24 hour period after the original chain, a shorter connection may try to be established. Should one be established, the one who establishes it (and any others who may help) will receive full points for each link they provided. All those who participated in the original chain will receive half-points.

6) You may only use movie appearances or TV show appearances. The exception are TV shows which regularly have guest appearances as part of the show (Saturday Night Live, Jay Leno, etc.). However, a guest appearance on, say, M*A*S*H* would be acceptable.

7) You may NOT use cartoon voices, directing/production roles. The actor must have actually appeared in the movie to be valid.

8) You may NOT use IMDB or any other refererence/database to assist you. There is no way to enforce this, but let's keep the game honest.

Points are awarded for each person having a piece of the shortest connection. The number of points awarded are given in each round.

The winner and possibly runners up will be granted a custom title. Even if you do not know a lot of movies, feel free to post what you know.

For reference:

Round II
Round III
Round IV

Glad to see people are watching their Bond movies. This is indeed the shortest possible connection.

Lt. Sullust: 14
Belisarius: 6
Terrors Martyr: 6
David: 6
Drakefyre: 3
Salmon: 3
Aranea Hirsuta: 3
Error -13: 3
Kelandon: 2

The next round should be more difficult and will be posted shortly.

Congratulations to all those who participated. Two degrees is indeed the lowest I can find. The original link to Whoopi Goldberg to Kirsten Dunst is as follows:

Whoopi Goldberg -- Girl, Interrupted (Alorael)
Girl, Interrupted -- Angelina Jolie (Kelandon)
Angelina Jolie -- Mr. and Mrs. Smith (Lt. Sullust)
Mr. and Mrs. Smith -- Brad Pitt (Alorael)
Brad Pitt -- Interview with a Vampire (Lt. Sullust)
Interview with a Vampire -- Kirsten Dunst (Lt. Sullust)

After completion, a shorter chain was proposed by Alorael:

Whoopi Goldberg -- Girl, Interrupted
Girl, Interrupted -- Winona Ryder
Winona Ryder -- Little Women
Little Women -- Kirsten Dunst

As it stands, 4 points will be awarded to Alorael for each he got in the shortest "steal" chain. 2 points will be awarded for each part in the original chain (except for Alorael's link to Girl, Interrupted as not to double count).

Current standings:

Alorael: 18
Lt. Sullust: 14
Drakefyre: 3
Salmon: 3
Aranea Hirsuta: 3
Error -13: 3
Kelandon: 2

The next round will be posted shortly.

Um, Spring, please read the rules, you may only mention actor --> movie, NOT actor --> movie --> actor. You get credit for Brad Pitt in Ocean's Twelve, but NOT Catherine Zeta Jones in Ocean's Twelve which much be a separate post.

Likewise, Miel, once Catherine Zeta Jones has been linked to Ocean's Twelve, you may then link Antonio Bandaras to it, but not to another movie directly. So right now, your knowledge, another interesting, has not yet been connected. This is to keep the game a community thing.

Oh yes: Demi Moore in Ghost

As it stands, valid links can be done off of:

Whoopi Goldberg
Angelina Jolie
Brad Pitt
Demi Moore
Girl, Interrupted
Mr. and Mrs. Smith
Ghost
Ocean's Twelve
Interview with the Vampire: Vampire Cronicles

The chain has been established:

Alan Alda -- West Wing (Drakefyre)
West Wing -- Rob Lowe (Salmon)
Rob Lowe -- Wayne's World (Aranea Hirsuta)
Wayne's World -- Mike Myers (Error -13)

For a total of two degrees of separation. 3 points listed for those above to bring the standings:

Toast: 8
Drakefyre: 3
Salmon: 3
Aranea Hirsuta: 3
Error -13: 3

Thank you for playing. We were able to get a similar path except we used Austin Powers instead of Wayne's World. The new round will begin shortly.

You may now build on to and list any actor who appeared in the television show Taxi, in addition to (of course) any other appearances by Danny DeVito or Joe Pesci.

As an exercise in movie/TV trivia, I have decided to make a 10 round challenge. The game is played as follows: two actors are given and must be connected through appearances in television shows or movies. The object is to connect the two actors with the fewest connections possible. Please READ THE RULES BEFORE POSTING!

ROUND I

Danny DeVito to Joe Pesci

Set point value = 6 (see below)


Some rules:

1) You may only post a connection of an actor to a movie/TV show already established in the list. For instance, you may say "Tom Hanks in Forrest Gump" only if either Tom Hanks or Forrest Gump have been previously mentioned.

2) You may NOT double post. You must wait for someone else to make a post before posting again.

3) You may NOT build off your own connection until at least 24 hours after you post it. The exception is if your connection completes the list.

4) Once the actors are connected, you may post a list of all the connections regardless of any previous rules. The next round will begin in approximately 24 hours after the original connection is established. During this time, a shorter connection may try to be established.

5) You may only use movie appearances or TV show appearances. The exception are TV shows which regularly have guest appearances as part of the show (Saturday Night Live, Jay Leno, etc.). However, a guest appearance on, say, M*A*S*H* would be acceptable.

6) You may NOT use cartoon voices, directing/production roles. The actor must have actually appeared in the movie to be valid.

7) You may NOT use IMDB or any other refererence/database to assist you. There is no way to enforce this, but let's keep the game honest.

Points are awarded for each person having a piece of the shortest connection. The number of points awarded are determined by an established value for each round minus the number of connections (not to be less than one).

Pounds per square inch (psi) are probably one of the worst English units:

psi = lbf/in^s
lbf = 32.2 lbm-ft/s^2

therefore: psi = 32.2 lbm-ft/s^2/in^2

We all love the British system.

Not much has been said about Nephil language other than an emphasis on r's and other purring sounds. Akhronath also had some roots to Aizonic human dialects as well.

Just saw it. I was mostly happy except that in parts it seemed quite rushed. The graveyard scene was by far the top part of the movie (albeit too short to do it justice) followed by fighting the dragon. I was disappointed several characters were shortchanged and a lot is left unexplained. All in all, a good movie, but I would have preferred the extra 15-20 minutes to get a little more character development.

Just saw it. I thought it was well written and the characters were creative -- quite impressive for movies these days. Some stretches of internal logic, but what can one expect.

One of my top movies of the year thus far, and that's not saying much.
