Six Degrees Summer Tourney Week #4

Sam Kinison

by Dave Umbricht

Now that’s more like it.  After getting beat down by y’all, the quizmaster came back and decided to be mean.  Sure it was Ingmar Bergman’s birthday last week, but it still wasn’t nice to make you link Ice Cube and Vin Diesel to him.  But one intrepid soul actually did, giving . . . → Read More: Six Degrees Summer Tourney Week #4

Six Degrees Summer Tourney Week 3

Ice Cube

by Dave Umbricht

So a funny thing happened on the way to the promised land, the quizmaster got smacked down.  Many great entries this week, but there was one that won it quite easily.  Actually it was two.  So yes, a tie.

So as Daniel said:

Alan Alda was in Everyone Says I Love You with . . . → Read More: Six Degrees Summer Tourney Week 3

Drew Barrymore

by Dave Umbricht

We live in a world where everyone is given a gold star, a trophy, or just a “good job little buddy, thanks for playing.”  Participation is good, and this week we had four brave souls enter the game.  However, in this little world of Forgotten Flix, there are winners and there . . . → Read More: Six Degrees Summer Tourney – Week 2

by Dave Umbricht

Gauntlets are being thrown down out there.

And by gauntlets I mean Mags finishing her link with Frank Oz as Animal’s keeper.  Keep warming up everyone.  This is still the preseason.  In a few weeks we will begin the first Six Degrees Tournament.

More details to come, but first . . . . . → Read More: Make the Movie Connection in Six Degrees (or less): “It’s Faaaaaaaantastic”

by Dave Umbricht

You know who’s awesome? Dave B., that’s who.

Who is Dave B.?  The guy who made some fantastic links in some of the previous comment sections – I urge you to check them out.  But do not be intimidated.  Just keep playing and posting.

So for this week, let’s talk about PSYCHOs!

Six Degrees Movie Game #8: The Remake Always Rings Twice

Jessica Lange

by Dave Umbricht

I’ve been thinking about Jessica Lange.

She may be the remake queen.  She played Fay Wray’s part in the 70′s version of King Kong, was in Cape Fear and did TV movies of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Streetcar Named Desire, Sybil, and Grey Gardens.

So in honor of this, let’s . . . → Read More: Six Degrees Movie Game #8: The Remake Always Rings Twice

Six Degrees Movie Game #7: The Royals

Prince

My daughter was pretty excited to know that there is a new princess in the world.  She was slightly disappointed to find out that she does not burst into song or have little animal friends.

Evil rival is still TBD, we’ll have to see who Harry marries.

In honor of the wedding, let’s link . . . → Read More: Six Degrees Movie Game #7: The Royals

Six Degrees Movie Game #6

Alfred Hitchcock

by Dave Umbricht

No reference to last week’s game.  Why?  Have your answers disappointed the Quizmaster to the point that he has gone insane and is plotting some ridiculous horror movie revenge plot?

Perhaps.

But, I’m not really sure who this Quizmaster is and why he thinks his name should be written as one . . . → Read More: Six Degrees Movie Game #6

Six Degrees Movie Game #5

David Alan Grier

by Dave Umbricht

Victory!

Yes, as far as I know Victory is the movie to link Pele through.  The beautiful thing?  It can be done very quickly.  Pele is in Victory with Michael Caine who was in A Bridge Too Far with Robert Redford.  Those 70’s epics are perfect for this game, because . . . → Read More: Six Degrees Movie Game #5

Ah, nothing better in life than being a xenophobic moron.  Thanks to Mags for pointing out that this is not America’s favorite game, but one that is loved globally.  So apologies, to my more enlightened readers.  Now that I the I know the game is truly international, I declare this week:

Six Degrees Movie Game #3

Mark Hamill

by Dave Umbricht

Welcome back to America’s favorite new game.  Good work last week.  I liked that Red K. Queen used Falling in Love, mainly because I confuse it with Stanley & Iris.  Ian continues to play speed demon, linking as quick as can be.  This week triple bonus points to Mags who not . . . → Read More: Six Degrees Movie Game #3

Jason Gedrick in Iron Eagle

by Dave Umbricht

Ok hot shots, great work in last week’s exercise.  I particularly loved Ian’s chain which used Sibling Rivalry and Runaway.  Not only did he get there quick, but he used two movies that are definitely forgotten flix.  I also want to thank Nathan for pointing out the little known fact that . . . → Read More: Six Degrees Movie Game #2
