Think I just saw the T.U.S.K. saying "Does not compute" while walking into a wall...

So might as well get the chain started since I tried to mend the last one

Still going to the expert and creator of the chain for his write up on the rules and such.

This will be round 59 of Never Ending Movie Chain.

From Don:

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

No repeats within 5 steps and avoid getting caught in a loop with MCU or Fast & Furious movies, for example. Long-running franchises with ensemble casts can allow you go round and round indefinitely.

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.

Also feel free to add comments about the movies or actors mentioned if you like. Part of the fun is saying “Wow, I haven't thought about that movie for years.” or “I love Errol Flynn!”

Finally this is what burned us in 51. Generally no posting of names, trailers, or posters that show who might have been involved in the movie.


And special rule for me... Try to use movies that were not colossal failures in the box office. Goes for Aqua too... no Movie 43 razz

Here's where I really wish this game could include Television, or at least "Series that air on streaming services that would have been a single film but are too long to fit into 3 hours." I loved him in Mr. Robot. And if you haven't seen Mr. Robot, you should. At least the first season.

But I digress. According to the rules... I have to pick something else. Let's try True Romance

We should have a special rule where we can go into an endless loop on Bill Murray and Groundhog Day.

But I'll go with the only other cast member whose name I remember, Andie MacDowell.

Bill Murray was not in this one. So I'll try Mark O'Brien

Hilarious movie with Will Ferrell (as Ricky Bobby) shouting "Shake and Bake!"

Best quotes from Talladega Nights

Talladega Nights is to NASCAR what Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga is to... well, Eurovision.

Conveniently Will Ferrell was in both and yes, that's the next movie in the chain.

(EDIT: after posting this, I googled "the song" and then realized the movie was on Netflix and am now currently watching it.

"We know they're awful. But they're our awful.")

Dude. It was nominated for an Academy Award.

It was mentioned by nem in game 33 and he responded to my play of it in game 49. Worst case scenario, we summon him to continue the chain.

But seriously, go to Netflix and watch it.
