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 AND CHANGES HAVE BEEN PUT IN BOLD! ROUND III Whoopi Goldberg to Kirsten Dunst Set point value = 4 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. 3) 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. 4) 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. 5) You may NOT use cartoon voices, directing/production roles. The actor must have actually appeared in the movie to be valid. 6) 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.

Whoopi Goldberg in Girl, Interrupted. —Alorael, who actually has a chain for this and who has to give credit to certain beloved family members to whom he thought he would never give anything up to and including the time of day over a certain related matter.

Oops, meant to type your name, but for some reason I typed another member. Will be fixed in the standings at the end of this round.

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 [ Tuesday, November 29, 2005 04:12: Message edited by: *i ] -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power!

Now that a chain has been established, a shorter one is Winona Ryder in Girl, Interrupted to Winona Ryder in Little Women to Kirsten Dunst in Little Women. —Alorael, who has never seen the full name of Interview with the Vampire written out anywhere before. It's rather cumbersome, isn't it? Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

Congrats Alorael. I can't help but wonder if there isn't a shorter connection. I guess I have 24 hours to watch all the movies I can with Whoopi or Kirsten...

My bad, I was in a hurry (I know it's not an excuse, but that's what happened) so I just went by Spring's post. Btw, isn't it amazing how different Kirsten Dunst looks now? I can't believe she's the same girl that did both, Little Women and "Interview with the Vampire" Posts: 1035 | Registered: Friday, April 1 2005 08:00 |

I'm sure there are other ways to find two degrees of separation. I'm pretty sure there has to be a one-step connection between Whoopi Goldberg and Brad Pitt somewhere. Unless Whoopi Goldberg and Kirsten Dunst were in the same film or show, though, there's nothing shorter. —Alorael, who would be interested in seeing the (impossible to determine) degrees of separation between actors using only non-actors as intermediaries.

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. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power!
