Many of you have probably already played this game. It’s simple: first person names an actor/actress or a movie. If they name an actor, the next person must name a movie that actor is in. If the first person names a movie, the next player must name an actor from that movie. No movie or actor can be named more than once in the course of a game, and for simplicity’s sake, for movies that have an excessive number of sequels, one movie can count as the entire series (i.e. if **Halloween** is named, its sequels are eliminated from the game). See how long we can keep it going. Try to keep responses to one line to hopefully cut down on simultaneous posts. Example: I say **Tom Hanks.** The next poster says **Apollo 11.** Next, **Kevin Bacon,** and so on. First one: **Natalie Portman.** ---
