Levis Posted January 16, 2006 Report Posted January 16, 2006 Just like that Kevin Bacon game. Name any two people... musicians, celebrities, Songfactors... and try to link them together within six degrees of people, places, habits...etc. Fair enough? We all know it? Need an example? Okay... Halle Berry and the Red Hot Chili Peppers Halle Berry - Pierce Brosnan (James Bond) - Michael J. Fox (Mars Attacks) - Flea (appearance in Back to the future II and II) - Red Hot Chili Peppers You get the idea, si? Johnny Depp and Julia Roberts
daslied Posted January 16, 2006 Report Posted January 16, 2006 Holy crap, I love this game. Brilliant idea! Johnny Depp - Geoffrey Rush (Pirates OTC) - George Clooney (Intolerable Cruelty) - Julia Roberts (Ocean's 11/12) Eddie Murphy and Madonna
Levis Posted January 17, 2006 Author Report Posted January 17, 2006 Eddie Murphy - Janet Jackson (Nutty Professor II) - Missy Elliot (You're so Vain cover) - Christina Aguilera (Lady Marmalade) - Madonna (MTV awards kiss) Nicholas Cage and Macaulay Culkin
daslied Posted January 17, 2006 Report Posted January 17, 2006 So...I guess it's just you and me, huh? Macaulay Culkin - Elijah Wood (The Good Son) - Elisabeth Shue (Back To The Future II) - Nicolas Cage (Leaving Las Vegas) Elisabeth Shue and Joe Pesci
blind-fitter Posted January 17, 2006 Report Posted January 17, 2006 In principle I like this game... Might be more fun for me if we focused on bands / musicians rather than films / actors,since I really don't follow the latter at all.
steel magnolia Posted January 17, 2006 Report Posted January 17, 2006 Elisabeth Shue - Robert DeNiro (Hide and Seek) - Joe Pesci (Goodfellas) Michael Caine and Mariah Carey
DiggsUK Posted January 17, 2006 Report Posted January 17, 2006 Michael Caine - Marty Caine - ginger bush - Bushmills - Jim Beam - Jim Carey - Mariah Carey... Noggin the Nog - J. Cousteau Regards
Tenacious_Peaches Posted January 18, 2006 Report Posted January 18, 2006 We seem to be of two camps here. Do you think we should start a film/TV version and a music version of this game?
blind-fitter Posted January 18, 2006 Report Posted January 18, 2006 (edited) Noggin the Nog - J. Cousteau Regards That's more like it... Noggin the Nog -> Nogbad the BAD -> Michael Jackson -> Peter Adamson (aka Len Fairclough off Coronation St: "Kiddy-Fiddler", who famously conducted his exploration underwater) -> Jacques Cousteau Roobarb -> Brett Anderson of Suede Edited January 18, 2006 by Guest
daslied Posted January 18, 2006 Report Posted January 18, 2006 We seem to be of two camps here. Do you think we should start a film/TV version and a music version of this game? I'm fine with it mixed together, but I really don't care either way. It would probably make more sense to put the movie one in the "films and music" part, since that's pretty much just about tv at this point. But I'll stress again that I really don't care either way. I just didn't want your question to go unanswered.
Levis Posted January 18, 2006 Author Report Posted January 18, 2006 I started the game... you people figure out the rules Let's start off easy with more obvious, shorter step connections as opposed to something long and winding and see where it goes from there. Watch out for culture biases. I would've made this music alone, but then I thought that it might become complicated because you'd have to include duets, producers, guest artists, covers etc. Do you find that too limited perhaps? Or we could broaden it to include anything under the sun... Kangaroos and Air Jordans Your call Which way would you prefer?
blind-fitter Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 (edited) Roobarb -> Brett Anderson of Suede That was days ago, so I'm obviously going to have to try it myself, am I not? "Roobarb" , classic TV animation,-> narrated by Richard Briers, who starred in The Good Life" alongside-> Paul Eddington (RIP), who co-starred in Yes Minister with -> Derek Fowlds ->formerly Mr. Derek on "Basil Brush" -> for maintenance of certain clothing /shoes,use a "Suede-Brush" -> Brett Anderson fronted the band Suede Sorry if that was too Anglo-centric... How about Rolf Harris / Slipknot ? Edited January 20, 2006 by Guest
daslied Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 Rolf did a song with The Wiggles, who did a tour with Slipknot.
SoulGirl Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 you have to give a challenge now das!
blind-fitter Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 Rolf did a song with The Wiggles, who did a tour with Slipknot. It's about time you took things more seriously and quit being so facetious. }
daslied Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 Did you know that "facetious" is the only word in the English language in which all five vowels appear in correct order?
blind-fitter Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 Did you know that "facetious" is the only word in the English language in which all five vowels appear in correct order? ...apart from "abstemious"?
daslied Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 You looked that up. Nobody knows that word. Damn my English teacher to hell for lying to me in high school.
SoulGirl Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 *phew* is anyone else feeling the tension?!
blind-fitter Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 You looked that up. Nobody knows that word. Damn my English teacher to hell for lying to me in high school. Sorry, I didn't look it up Das, I just happen to possess a vocabulary that verges on the Brobdingnagian.
Tenacious_Peaches Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 Brobdingnagian. Hey, didn't Laura Brobdingnagian sing that song "Gloria" back in the 80s?
