Title: Forum Game Post by: ulthar on September 27, 2004, 07:49:09 PM Watchin tv this evening, a little idea for a game hit me. Ya'll have probably done something like this before, at least on other boards.
It's a Degree of Separation Game, and is best illustrated with an example. Name two movies (or tv shows) and the degree of separation. For example: That 70's Show, Saving Private Ryan. Two degrees of sep. Answer: Debra Jo Rupp played Kitty Foreman in That 70's Show. She also played Alice Knight Buffay in Friends, who was married to Giovanni Ribisi's character Frank JR. Ribisi played Pvt. Irwin Wade in Saving Private Ryan. Okay, so now someone can take Saving Private Ryan as their starting point. Or start their own. The only rule is that the SAME actor/director/whatever cannot be throughout the list; we don't just want a list of George Romero movies or something. With the movie knowledge on this board, I bet there could be some really twisted puzzles! Any takers?

My answer would have been: Vin Diesel to Walking Tall to Johnny Knoxville in Jackass Great job! (Disregard This Message. For some unkown reason I got Vin Diesel and The Rock confused...........) Post Edited (09-30-04 09:22) Title: Re: Forum Game Post by: AndyC on September 28, 2004, 09:24:18 AM Impressive. Now, who can get us from Jackass to Fantastic Voyage in two steps?
Title: Re: Forum Game Post by: Gerry on September 28, 2004, 10:12:23 AM JACKASS (cowritten by Spike Jonze) --> Fatboy Slim's "Weapon of Choice" video (directed by Spike Jonze) -- > Christopher Walken who starred in said music video also appeared in the documentary "Terror in the Aisles" (1984) -- > Donald Pleasance hosted said documentary and starred in FANTASTIC VOYAGE (1966).
I had to stretch for it and there's probably an easier route, but there you go. Title: Re: Forum Game Post by: AndyC on September 28, 2004, 10:56:17 AM There's definitely a much more direct route.
Title: Re: Forum Game Post by: Tilebreaker on September 28, 2004, 11:58:11 AM 1 Johnny Knoxville- Walking tall
2 The Rock- The Run Down 3 Christopher walken- Catch me if you can 4 James Brolin- Fantastic voyage 5 Donald Pleasence Title: Re: Forum Game Post by: AndyC on September 28, 2004, 01:23:24 PM Look past the principal actors.
Butterbean (if we can call Jackass a movie, we can call him an actor) was in Jackass. He was also in Chairman of the Board with Racquel Welch, who was in Fantastic Voyage. Interesting that the most direct route from Jackass to a good movie is by way of a Carrot Top comedy. Now, there must be all kinds of directions we can go from Fantastic Voyage. Title: Re: Forum Game Post by: Mr_Vindictive on September 28, 2004, 02:16:01 PM Alright then.
Fantastic Voyage to Greased Lightning. Title: Re: Forum Game Post by: Vermin Boy on September 28, 2004, 07:21:30 PM Alright, then...
Fantastic Voyage's Raquel Welch was in Mother, Jugs & Speed with Bill Cosby Bill Cosby was in California Suite with Richard Pryor Richard Pryor was in Greased Lightning. Now... Greased Lightning and The Wizard of Oz! Title: Re: Forum Game Post by: Gerry on September 29, 2004, 10:17:52 AM Beau Bridges in GREASED LIGHTNING
Beau Bridges in THE RED PONY which featured Margaret Hamilton Margaret Hamilton as the Wicked Witch of the West in THE WIZARD OF OZ How about THE WIZARD OF OZ to THE MUSIC MAN? Title: Re: Forum Game Post by: Acidburn on September 29, 2004, 01:11:11 PM Candy Candido was the voice of one of the trees in OZ.
Also was in Smart politics along with Freddie Stewart who was in music man. How about music man to The Wolfman Title: Re: Forum Game Post by: Acidburn on September 30, 2004, 08:15:33 AM Anybody???

I was actually thinking: Judy Garland who was in any number of movies with Mickey Rooney, who was Budy Hackett's cohort in IT'S A MAD MAD MAD MAD WORLD, who of course went on to sing the immortal SHa-Poopie (or whatever) in THE MUSIC MAN. It's quite funny to see what other sorts of weird connections we can come up with between movies. Title: Re: Forum Game Post by: Gerry on September 30, 2004, 09:36:12 AM Acidburn wrote:
