QuietThinker,

I don't think you've quite got the hang of the game (or you linked from an out of date post).

The next step is to name a movie Albert Brooks has been in, another star of that movie, and another movie that star has been in.

Like so:

Broadcast News

Holly Hunter

Copycat

Now, Copycat is the last link. Find another star of Copycat, another movie that star was in, and another star from that movie.

[QuietThinker]

yes, I did misunderstand...so...is this right?

Sigourney Weaver

Working Girl

Harrison Ford

[WordWolf]

yes, I did misunderstand...so...is this right?

Sigourney Weaver

Working Girl

Harrison Ford

*checks the cast of Copycat*

Yes, that was correct.

Connected from the last one, into another movie, then another actor.

Which means the next person has to connect into another movie

to actor to movie.

Let's see...

Star Wars

Carrie Fisher

Blues Brothers

[Raf]

Perfect. The only rule to the game is, don't go linking back to the same movie, series, or person. For example, the last one has Carrie Fisher and The Blues Brothers. If I were to say "Frank Oz - Empire Strikes Back - Carrie Fisher," that would be bad, because we just used Carrie Fisher as a link. However:

Frank Oz

The Empire Strikes Back

Mark Hamill

is okay because Empire and Star Wars are two different movies, Frank Oz was not in both, and Mark Hamill is a different star. Don't use a sequel unless you get there from an actor who wasn't in the first referenced movie (Frank Oz was in the Blues Brothers, but he wasn't in Star Wars, so it's okay to use him for The Empire Strikes Back to get to someone other than Harrison Ford or Carrie Fisher).

Now, I used the above as an example. My actual next link is as follows:

Frank Oz

The Great Muppet Caper

Charles Grodin

(naming someone whose voice alone was used is also okay, so long as the actor is playing a role in the movie. Frank Oz in the Muppet movies is okay, but Phil Collins in Tarzan is not).

Use your best judgment on when it's been long enough to not worry about repeating actors or movies.

ok, last tentative foray, I promise.

In this case then, since we're ending with Charles Grodin...

King Kong

Jessica Lange

Big Fish

would work.

I do believe I've got it!

~QT

[Tom Strange]

and then I'd probably say:

Billy Crudup

Almost Famous

Jason Lee

[Ca_dreaming]

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back

George Carlin

Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey

[Raf]

Alex Winter

The Lost Boys

Corey Haim

[WordWolf]

Figures, you'd hit the most obvious movie with Corey Haim.

So, I'll get a little creative.....
