Goafer Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I'm sure that most people will have heard of this but here is the rules anyway. I'll start with 2 celebrities, then you have to link them using a chain of people that have been associated with. Associations include: Worked together Been in a relationship Related Been in different versions of the same film (Remakes etc) Have covered their song (for musicians) Have played the previous person in a film or vice versa (eg. Joaquin Phoenix playing Johnny Cash) For the sake of keeping it simple, it doesn't have to be done in 6 steps. It can be more or less. So for example: Mark Hamill - Demi Moore Mark Hamill was in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back with Jason Biggs Jason Biggs was in American Pie with Sean William Scott Sean William Scott was in Dude Where's My Car with Ashton Kutcher Ashton Kutcher dated Demi Moore The second celbrity then gets carried over and the first person who gets it right then gets to pick who that person has to be linked with. So if I got the above one right, I would then pick someone to link Demi Moore with. So the first 2 celebrities to link are: Demi Moore and Zach Braff I've run through it in my head and it can be done in 4 steps. Although use more if need be.

Tim Robbins was the president in Austin Powers 2 which starred Mike Myers Mike Myers and Alec Baldwin starred together in The Cat in the Hat Alec Baldwin shared a lead role in The Hunt for Red October with Sean Connery... Sean Connery was none other than Indy aka Harrison Ford's dad in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade! Man, this was actually kind of bloody hard!

jayseven Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Paj; Not_So_Tiny's makes sense - and the (ish) in the title allows for deviation, surely? EDIT: And you could go from angie to brad quicker, via mr & Mrs smith or just that they're fucking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goafer Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 Paj's was better, but Not So Tiny was first. And it can be less than 6. Wikipedia (not gospel I know but it's good enough) states: "Six degrees of Separation (also referred to as the "Human Web") refers to the idea that, if a person is one step away from each person they know and two steps away from each person who is known by one of the people they know, then everyone is at most six steps away from any other person on Earth." Although I did put the ish in the title just to make it a little easier. So it can be more as well if need be. So it stands at: Christopher Walken and Will Smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoogleViper Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Christopher Walken was in Sleepy Hollow with Johnny Depp Depp was in POTC with Orlando Bloom Orlando was in LOTR with Ian McKellen Ian was in Six Degrees of Separation () with Will Smith Ok so Will Smith and Ray Winstone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 (edited) Ah right. I assumed half the challenge was to get it in exactly 6..? Oh well. I had Brad and Ange togeher via marriage for a while, but because I thought it had to be six (it should be imo, harder) I spaced them out. Will Smith was in Shark Tale with Angelina Jolie Angelina Jolie was in Beowulf with Ray Winstone Ok, Ray Winstone with Perez Hilton. Edited April 7, 2009 by Paj!

Nintendohnut Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I could do this one by using simon pegg, starring alongside david schwimmer in Big Nothing and then back to bruce almighty via jennifer anniston...but I've done that already! I think we should move off actors, they're too easy to link together just through "*person* starred in a film with *person*" etc etc Include a musician, politician, or TV personality! Mix it up!

Cube Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Include a musician, politician, or TV personality! Mix it up! We've had a politician and TV personality. Just not as many as actors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintendohnut Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 We've had a politician and TV personality. Just not as many as actors. Well I tried to mix it up with the politician, and who was the TV personality? Everyone on this thread has been in at least 2 films, apart from Tony Blair. Paj has the right idea with Tori Amos, we need to have a bit more variety or there isn't much challenge - imdb can basically do everything for you otherwise. That's all I'm saying. This is a great idea for a thread but we need more of a challenge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
