The Jury Room

by **Zanarkand** » Fri Jun 26, 2009 12:56 pm

This is a game I have played many times before, I hope you guys will like it.
It goes like this. One must connect 2 movies using no less and no more six degrees. Using actors or directors only.
It is much easier than it sounds. In a few turns you will not even need to use Directors.
An example: Connect Batman: The Dark Knight to A Streetcar Named Desire

1. Take Michael Caine from TDK was in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels with Steve Martin
2. Steve Martin was in Roxanne with Daryl Hannah
3. Hannah was in Wall Street with Michael Douglas
4. Douglas was in Falling Down with Robert Duvall
5. Duvall was in The Godfather with Marlon Brando
6. Brando was in A Streetcar Named Desire.

Usually there is not just one way, but several. Once you connect the two, leave another two for the rest of us to connect.
Give it a chance, you may enjoy it.

The first:
Connect Munich to Pearl Harbor

by **Zanarkand** » Fri Jun 26, 2009 7:31 pm

Not a 6 Degrees crowd? Some are, some aint.

by **chris_mcclinch** » Sat Jun 27, 2009 6:14 am

I've always played it as six degrees or fewer:

Munich featured Geoffrey Rush
Geoffrey Rush was in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End with Bill Nighy
Bill Nighy was in Underworld with Kate Beckinsale
Kate Beckinsale was in Pearl Harbor

For exactly 6:

Munich featured Eric Bana
1. Eric Bana was in Hulk with Jennifer Connelly
2. Jennifer Connelly was in Once Upon a Time in America with Robert DeNiro
3. Robert DeNiro was in Meet the Parents with Ben Stiller
4. Ben Stiller was in Tropic Thunder with Tom Cruise
5. Tom Cruise was in Jerry Maguire with Cuba Gooding, Jr.
6. Cuba Gooding Jr. was in Pearl Harbor

Did I get it right?

by **Zanarkand** » Thu Jul 02, 2009 10:21 pm

Of course you did. But you did not leave anything for the rest of us to connect.
The players at this board are sharp. Moderate skilled players (like myself) are going to have to try hard to keep up.

See if you can work it out now!

by **Zanarkand** » Mon Jul 06, 2009 8:38 pm
