the rules are simple. name 2 actors and try to link them through actors/actresses they've starred with in 6 films or less.

ex. Link Drew Barrymore <-> Drew Carey
Drew Barrymore <-> Cameron Diaz, "Charlie's Angels"
Cameron Diaz <-> Ewan McGregor, "A Life Less Ordinary"
Ewan McGregor <-> Drew Carey, "Robots"...WIN!

the cardinal rules are: 1. name the actors and the title of the film, 2. the winner names the next 2 actors to link, and 3. no googling!

begin!

    caviezel was the main guy in the recent monte cristo (1), which had guy pierce who was in momento (2) with that cipher dude from the matrix but im not using that cause he was also in the fugitive(3) with tommy lee jones who was in JFK (4) with kevin bacon who was in apollo 13 (5) with tom hanks who was in private ryan with our boy Vinny. (6) whew!


    do I get points for actually USING kevin bacon in the kevin bacon game? (thats what I grew up knowing this as)

    i thought the whole point of the "Kevin Bacon game" was that you had to link an actor to Kevin Bacon in 6 films. Otherwise, it's just a "link actors together game".

    This is a better game than the Kevin Bacon game. Linking to the same actor over and over would get old. Picking different people to link each time keeps it interesting. Plus it's Snowfly's rules and no where in his first post does he mention Kevin Bacon. It was just incorrectly named later in the thread. At least that's how I saw it, and pretty much everyone who has played so far.

    Well sorry, you weren't here when the thread started. It was originally called "The 6 Degrees movie game". And like I said, "it was just incorrectly named later in the thread." I guess I should have said "re-named".

    I blame the confusion on Joe for mentioning Kevin Bacon in the first place. laugh.gif
