GOD, but that was a great movie. Austin Pendleton I have a rules question: someone posts an actor (say, Frank Sinatra.) The next poster posts a movie from some time ago (Ocean’s 11). Is it then ok to use an actor from an updated version of the film? Or does it need to be the same movie the original actor posted was in? And…just to make it more complicated… are remakes allowed? If Ocean’s 11 (the original) is used on page two, is it alright to use Ocean’s 11 (the updated version) on page four? Or is that movie now off limits? Cuz, there’s been a LOT of remakes lately. Just, y’know, sayin’… ---
