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.

Demi Moore was in A Few Good Men with Keifer Sutherland

Keifer Sutherland was in Truth or Consequences with John C. McGinley

John C. McGinley is in [scrubs] with Zach Braff

 

So; Zach Braff and Macauley Culkin, however it's spelt.

Man, this was actually kind of bloody hard! I tried making it interesting and ended up at 8, so I changed it :heh: Still went one over though :(

 

 

Aaanyway....the next challenge is Harrison Ford and......Will Ferrell!

Harrison Ford was in 6 days 7 nights with David Schwimmer

David Schwimmer was in Friends with Jennifer Anniston

Jennifer Anniston was in Bruce Almighty with Steve Carrell

Steve Carrell was part of the channel 9 news team in Anchorman, starring Will Ferrell

 

I could have done that in less with Paul Rudd in friends, but this one was slightly more interesting... although not much

 

Anyway, Will Ferrell and Tony Blair

*hopes that's allowed*

Will Ferrell was in Taladega Nights with John C Reilly

John C Reilly was in Tenacious D with Jack Black

Jack Black played Hal in shallow Hal, a name shared with the computer from 2001: A Space Odyssey

I did have a shorter one, but it wasn't as interesting.

hehehe. i was gunna do the whole

will ferrell played george w. bush in "a final night with george w. bush"

george bush was in a relationship with tony blair

thing.. but i thought that was too easy O_o

 

great game!! i'm FAR too stupid to play it though ~ but i'm having fun lurking : peace:

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.

Posted

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

Posted

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

Posted (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.

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!

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!

Nick Frost appeared in Grindhouse alongside Nicky Katt

Nicky Katt was in Friends as was Ron Glass

Ron Glass was in Firefly with Alan Tudyk

Alan Tudyk starred A Knight's Tale with Heath Ledger
