Could someone please explain the rules of this game to me? Is it just matching actors/actresses with movies they’ve been in, or is there more to it? (Every time I try searching for the original thread, the board crashes…grr.) ---

**J.E.T.** , ``` Right now the thing to match is the movie, *Into the Night*, which starred Michelle Pfeiffer and Jeff Goldblum, IIRC. So the next post could be: ``` _Into the Night_ Jeff Goldblum after that, the next person would have to come up with a movie which Jeff Goldblum was in: Jeff Goldblum _The Fly_ Then the next person might put: _The Fly_ Geena Davis [sub]ad infinitum[/sub] and since this was an example please don’t use those as solutions, everyone. ---

> [@](#): > > _Originally posted by Jabba \* > **Who the f** _ is Irene Pappas? \*\* Sure, I come in here thinking “thank stars for **Jabba** , he knows who this Pappas person is and will restart this thing going…” I tried finding a picture of her to see if that would spark some recollection, unfortunately that also gave me a recent film with her so I can’t answer on this one. I still don’t know who she is but I know what she’s been in, and it’s a lot of movies you might now and quite a few you probably don’t.
