This is Round Thirty Three of the Neverending Movie Chain. Feel free to jump in anywhere you want, post once or post as often as you want just don't reply to yourself. huh

For any new folks joining in <and new folks are definitely encouraged to do so>...

We start by naming a movie, the next player to jump in has to name an actor in that film and the next to follow him/her has to name a different movie that actor was in.

EX:

Player one: Star Wars, Player Two: Mark Hamil, Player Three: Corvette Summer, Player Four: Annie Potts, Player Five: Ghostbusters, etc., etc.

Repeats are allowed but discouraged and there has to be a distance of at least five steps before you use a movie or an an actor a second time. No IMDb please <expect to look up dates of movies with identical titles or spellings of names>. grin

You need to follow the chain as it is drawn, no jumping. If we have Stephen Moyer on the table and someone plays Prince Valiant then the Prince Valiant you have to go out of is the one that had Stephen Moyer in it, no matter how many other movies out there are named Prince Valiant.

A clarification on play. We want to avoid using archival footage. For purposes of our game Dick Clark, Bob Hope, President Kennedy etc. Did not appear in Forrest Gump.

I won't make this a rule but rather a recommendation. Please avoid films that have not been released/aired in the U.S.

And just for the sake of putting it into the written rules mostly for sake of newcomers voice work (animated films) and made-for-TV movies are allowed but not mini-series.

Oh, and the idea is not to stump everyone but to keep the chain going for as long as possible. We play this one on road trips and I don't know why I didn't think to start this up here years ago. It is perfect for the online community because you can jump in whenever and wherever or as often as you want.

While there are so many amazing voice actors in Toy Story 4, the only one worthy of this game is obviously... BETTY WHITE
Posted By: AquaDyne Re: Never Ending Movie Chain 35 - Thu 20/08/20 04:22 UTC
Also known as Bitey White, the teething ring between Melephant Brooks and Carl Reinerocerous. (Chairol Burnett is behind them!) grin

Since we're in animated voice roles, she also joined some A-listers in The Lorax.

Danny DeVito was in that one (as well as in a LOT of other live-action movies)
Posted By: AquaDyne Re: Never Ending Movie Chain 35 - Thu 20/08/20 05:07 UTC

Redford was in that one, no?
Posted By: AquaDyne Re: Never Ending Movie Chain 35 - Tue 25/08/20 19:52 UTC
He was! One of my favorite roles of his. As tempted as I am to go to a dragon-related Disney destination, I remember in high school, having to watch him star in....

The Great Gatsby (1974)

(NOTE: Not the new version with Leo, the older version!)
Posted By: Mina Re: Never Ending Movie Chain 35 - Thu 03/09/20 15:38 UTC
Mia Farrow!
Posted By: AquaDyne Re: Never Ending Movie Chain 35 - Thu 03/09/20 16:32 UTC
Thanks, Mina! I was hoping for that, and am hoping this next movie opens it up a bit:

Crimes and Misdemeanors
Posted By: Dugan Re: Never Ending Movie Chain 35 - Sat 05/09/20 05:33 UTC
Vaguely remembering Alan Alda was in this
Posted By: AquaDyne Re: Never Ending Movie Chain 35 - Sun 06/09/20 03:01 UTC
He was, and he also was in The Aviator.
Posted By: nem Re: Never Ending Movie Chain 35 - Sun 06/09/20 09:30 UTC
Kate Beckingsale looked a million bucks in that!
Posted By: AquaDyne Re: Never Ending Movie Chain 35 - Sun 06/09/20 22:15 UTC
But I remember her more in Serendipity. (I once pondered a Cassiopeia tattoo.)
Posted By: nem Re: Never Ending Movie Chain 35 - Tue 15/09/20 08:21 UTC
Looks like that one stumped us, AquaDyne. You're up to start. New thread. smile
Posted By: AquaDyne Re: Never Ending Movie Chain 35 - Tue 15/09/20 08:23 UTC
Did no one else see that? I thought it was pretty popular!
Posted By: nem Re: Never Ending Movie Chain 35 - Tue 15/09/20 08:41 UTC
No, I'd never even heard of it tbh. Which surprised me. But there are always films that slip under one's personal radar and that's one of the fun things about this game. grin
Posted By: AquaDyne Re: Never Ending Movie Chain 35 - Wed 16/09/20 00:36 UTC
I guess being just over 1 year into marriage when that came out, I probably overdid the romantic comedy genre on date night. smile
