Nemser to John Rhys Davies in Princess Diaries 2
Davies to Harvey Keitel in Shadow Dancer

[ChibiChance]

Brenner was in The Patriot with Heath Ledger
Heath was in Brokeback Mountain with Linda Cardenelli
Linda was in Dead Man on Campus with Hannigan
Then you sort of backtrack by saying Hannigan was in Dead Man with Linda
Linda was in Scooby Doo with Isla.

May the luck o' the Irish be with ye. Catharine O'Hara to Rosie O'Donnell to Chris O'Donnell.

[Waycos]

I know that a lot of you have been PMing me to alert me of spam in here and I appreciate it. We (me and my fellow mods) have been taking care of it as we get to it but just don't have enough time to PM everyone one of you back. Thanks.

Another one right after you posted that Waycos! Jeez. What's gotten into the spammers?
-Prodigal

::waycos:: And there was another after that. What I find curious is why the 6 degrees thread.

[Evac156]

May the luck o' the Irish be with ye. Catharine O'Hara to Rosie O'Donnell to Chris O'Donnell.

Okay, I can do that in 7 steps on my own, 5 with the help of IMDb. Averages out to 6. (I figure since it's been unanswered for 10 days, it's a wide open field.)

Catherine O'Hara and Eugene Levy were in Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show, A Mighty Wind, and For Your Consideration
Eugene Levy and Steve Martin were in Bringing Down the House
Steve Martin and Rick Moranis were in Parenthood and My Blue Heaven
Rick Moranis and Rosie O'Donnell were in The Flintstones
Rosie O'Donnell and Dan Aykroyd were in Exit to Eden
Dan Aykroyd and Drew Barrymore were in 50 First Dates
Drew Barrymore and Chris O'Donnell were in Mad Love

Or we can get rid of Eugene Levy and Steve Martin entirely, if you count voice work in straight-to-video movies:

Catherine O'Hara and Rick Moranis were in Brother Bear 2
Rick Moranis and Rosie O'Donnell were in The Flintstones
Rosie O'Donnell and Dan Aykroyd were in Exit to Eden
Dan Aykroyd and Drew Barrymore were in 50 First Dates
Drew Barrymore and Chris O'Donnell were in Mad Love

Then again, there might be some creative way to get Moranis/Aykroyd for Ghostbusters (or Little Shop of Horrors), Aykroyd/Barrymore for 50 First Dates, and Aykroyd/O'Donnell for Exit to Eden. Dan Aykroyd's something of a nexus point there.

Here's one that I haven't checked out myself, but it should be interesting -- any plausibly short list will be considered a winner. But first, why are they on this list together?

Michael Landon, Michael J. Fox, and Jack Nicholson. In any order.

[Windsetter]

Michael Landon was in Fight for the Title with Bill Erwin
Bill Erwin was in Somewhere In Time with Jane Seymour
Jane Seymour was in Quest For Camelot with Pierce Brosnan
Pierce Brosnan was in Mars attacks with both Michael J. Fox and Jack Nicholson

Damn, you're good. I bow down before you. Had no idea I'd unwittingly given up a double-bagger with Fox and Nicholson. Mars Attacks cracked me up, but I had no recollection of either of them being in it.

Oh, and the reason I picked those three... They were all werewolves.

Michael Landon: I Was a Teenage Werewolf, 1957
Michael J. Fox: Teen Wolf, 1985
Jack Nicholson: Wolf, 1994

I knew I should've gone with David Naughton. Although it turns out that he also co-starred with Michael J. Fox in Midnight Madness (1980). That's it! Michael J. Fox is spreading werewolf-ism!!

[Useless Trivia Man]

Ellen Muth was in Dolores Claiborn with Kathy Bates
Bates was in Rat Race with John Cleese
Cleese was in Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle with Lucy Liu
Liu was in Payback with Kris Kristofferson
and Kris was in Blade: Trinity with Erica Cerra

Cerra to Snipes in Blade: Trinity
Snipes was in Money Train with Woody Harrelson
Harrelson was in She Hate Me with the luscious Monica Belluci
and Belluci was in Matrix: Reloaded with Gina Torres


I know there's gotta be a faster way, but nine degrees was the best I could come up with. Now go with Kate Mulgrew to William Shatner to Scott Bakula without using Star Trek.

[Windsetter]

Kate Mulgrew was in Throw Mama From the Train with Billy Crystal
Bolly Crystal was in City Slickers 2:The Legend of Curly's Gold with Jon Lovitz
John Lovitz was in National Lampoon's: Loaded Weapon 1 with William Shatner
William Sharner was in National Lampoon's: Loaded Weapon 1 with Kathy Ireland
Kathy Ireland was in Necessary Roughness with Scott Bakula

and Merman was in It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World with Buster Keaton

And now for something... completely different. John Cleese to Weird Al Yankovic to Ryan Stiles.

I think we need more stringent registration process. These messages are getting very annoying.

We're doing what we can folks, it appears to be some new type of bot that looks for famous peoples' names and then posts in that topic. Just keep sending us reports and we'll try to get them as fast as possible.
