No, this isn't a link to some stupid online game where you shoot kittens or molest teenagers or play tetris. This is a game I made up out of boredom and inspiration.
Here's the only link you need: www.imdb.com
The idea: Take two completely random actors/actresses and try to get from one to the other's site. For instance, I could pick two people who have never been in a movie together, such as Ashton Kutcher and Judy Dench, and attempt to get from one's site to the other only by clicking names and movies. No back button, no search, no outside help. You can use directors, writers, producers, actors, extras, movie titles, video games, whatever appears on the site itself (none of the 250 best movies or whatever, thats cheating). Here's some fun pairings to start you up:
Taye Diggs ---> Tim Allen (hint: Lightyear)
Joan Cusack ---> Cedric Yarborough
Carlos Alazraqui ---> Paul Newman
Jake Gyllenhaal ---> Charlie Chaplin (my friend came up with this one, its actually incredibly easy if you know where to look...hint: biopics are a good way to go from a contemporary era to a historic actor)
Dakota Fanning ---> Janet Lee
Alfred Hitchcock ---> Perry Reeves
I haven't done all of the above, but if you want to try one I know to be very very difficult: Randy Quaid ---> Sammy Davis, Jr.
Example:
Yesterday I went from Ashley Judd to Gary Busey. Here's how it ended up going: Ashley Judd --> High Crimes (2002) --> Morgan Freeman --> Glory (1989) --> Denzel Washington --> John Q (2002) --> Kevin Connolly --> Entourage --> Gary Busey
This is seriously a really fun game, and it is fucking great to help your mental movie trivia database.
