DreamLyrics™ Play-by-Post Forums Fun & Games NMC: Neverending Movie Chain Neverending Movie Chain 41

This is Round Forty 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 Hamill, 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.

Here's a movie I watched this week, and boy are those extra 13 minutes painful! It was already far too long. Anyway...

King Kong (2005) Extended Edition

Jack Black

Just because of his epic speech, while tied up, in... TROPIC THUNDER

Tom Cruise. Hilarious in that movie. Wish he'd do more comedy.

Tom Cruise? Comedy? Does his cameo in Austin Powers - Goldmember count?

I think Michael Caine was in that one? And if you like Cruise in a comedy, try out Knight and Day, with Cameron Diaz. Fun movie!

Yes, Michael Caine was in that, although if we're going spy movies, he was so much better in

Kingsman: The Secret Service

(Cue Nem for his favorite actor next...)

Samuel L. Jackson! In one of his least recognised but actually most daring roles.

The Hitman's Bodyguard

Gary Oldman, who probably did comedy but is a very serious actor

He was funny in The Fifth Element.

But was Bruce Willis?

He was in that one and in Red

Staying away from this one as I recall killing a game with two Reds.

The Queen

James Cromwell played Prince Philip in that

James Cromwell is a solid actor. LA Confidential.

Lots of directions to go with that. I'll let someone else pick!

No takers? Fine. Russell Crowe.

Joaquin Phoenix

Oh, oh OHHHHH Joaquin was in... TO DIE FOR with...

Nicole Kidman

The Golden Compass
