Hey, Brad, it's me, I'm bored, call me back...

[trinityvixen]

Mr. Inconsiderate Cell Phone Man is my hero. But I really am bored. So bored, I've been playing the movie game with myself and being really, really bored.

So, you guys play with me. In case I haven't ever subjected you to it, here are the rules.
1. Start with a) a movie or b) an actor/actress.
2. The next person has to name a) an actor from that movie or b) a movie that actor was in (NOTE: Voiceovers DO NOT COUNT. If the person wasn't physically onscreen, you can't use them! So, Warwick Davis works for Marvin in the new Hitchhiker's but not Alan Rickman, sorry)
3. The next person names a) another movie that the actor from #2 was in or b) another actor in the movie named in #2.

Simple, right? Oh yeah, wait, here's the hard part:
4. You can't repeat actors or movies in one round.
5. You can't combo sequels or movies in a row within a franchise, though you can use them as long as they're broken up (If I say Dr. No, and you say Sean Connery, the third person can't then say Thunderball; this applies to all major franchises, not to remakes, but anything with a recurring character(s) like Jay and Silent Bob movies).
6. If you don't have an answer, you're out. (online, you just wait till someone else gets it)
7. If you give a movie/actor that no one's heard of, the next person is allowed to challenge. If you named a movie, you have to name another actor besides the one that led you to say that movie. If you named an actor, you have to give another movie they were in.
8. For especially bad cheaters, you can be double challenged, whereby the challenge continues one round beyond the challenge (so, if you said a movie no one knew, you'd have to name an actor from it and another movie they were in).

Let's play! I'm bored! I pick I pick I pick! Okay, I'm gonna start with a movie: Sin City. Name an actor/actress, and let's go. (note: if two people reply at the same time, keep both threads going! wheeee)

(cheating) "Fantastic Four"

[ivy03.livejournal.com]

You realize the fundamental flaw with this: when you play online, you have imdb.

[ecmyers.livejournal.com]

You're not supposed to use that!

Re: Movie: Sin City

[ecmyers.livejournal.com]

Ooh. Michael Chiklis.

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

I was hoping people wouldn't cheat. I almost did for the Jessica Alba one then I decided to cheat by using a movie not yet released, justifying it that it's finished, which makes it count.

But grrr! No cheating!

Challenge the first!

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Challenge! I can only think of him as the Commish or the asshole from The Shield. So, what else has been in?

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Halle Berry - dunno why I know that, but I do. I know way too much about Halle Berry. Did you know she wants a baby!? CRAZY!

Re: Challenge the first!

[viridian.livejournal.com]

(aahahhaaha The Commish! I remember that.)

[viridian.livejournal.com]

X-Men

[viridian.livejournal.com]

yeah, I couldn't recall anything she did besides Dark Angel, and you didn't say if TV shows were allowed.

[ecmyers.livejournal.com]

Patrick Stewart

Re: Challenge the first!

[ecmyers.livejournal.com]

Grrrr... I'm out :P

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Conspiracy Theory

[teneda.livejournal.com]

Mel Gibson

[saikogrrl.livejournal.com]

I want to play, but don't have the extensive movie knowledge you do! :(

have only vaguely heard of that movie.......

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Ha ha ha, I'm going to be evil: Caspar the Friendly Ghost

[teneda.livejournal.com]

Wanna be evil? Christina Ricci.

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

I'll go there. "Cursed."

[droidguy1119.livejournal.com]

Joshua Jackson

[viridian.livejournal.com]

Cruel Intentions

[arcane-the-sage.livejournal.com]

Well there is Idle Hand, but I think you would lose if that one was ever challenged. Now if you wanted to use TV shows, there was the new Flipper ^_^

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Good one. Sarah Michelle Gellar.

[xannoside.livejournal.com]

Scooby-Doo

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Matthew Lillard

[viridian.livejournal.com]

Scream

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Courtney Cox

[viridian.livejournal.com]

Challenge, because what the crap has she been in other than Friends and the Scream movies?

I accept your challenge

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Without looking, I can give you a couple of films.

1. Commandments
2. The Longest Yard (sorta cheating again because that hasn't been released yet)

There's a few smaller movies, but none other that I can think of off the top of my head.

So, we're going to move on with "Commandments." Go ahead, double challenge me on that one.

Re: I accept your challenge

[viridian.livejournal.com]

I have no idea what the fuck either of those are, so I guess I'll leave this one to someone else.

Re: I accept your challenge

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Let's make it easier. From Commandments, we'll go with Anthony Lapaglia. Another movie with Anthony, anyone?

[xannoside.livejournal.com]

Scream

[xannoside.livejournal.com]

oops...

Re: I accept your challenge

[xannoside.livejournal.com]

Doh! I can use Masters of the Universe for Courtney.

Re: I accept your challenge

[xannoside.livejournal.com]

Otherwise, I can use the Longest yard for Chris Rock.
