I think that 4 hours is enough time for people to get here and play and it not just be two people getting them all before anyone else can get in...


AND it's been 8 hours since my last one!!

Thanks! I don't think I can go to 10 minutes or 4 hours for now. I'm going to 6.

We'll see how that goes, eh?

A reminder of the rules:

*I will post an initial picture, a string of pictures in the middle, and then a concluding picture. The first person has to use the initial picture, and one of the pictures in the middle string, and "connect" them when they appear in the same movie. The next person will take the second performer listed in the previous response, and select one of the remaining pictures in the middle string, and find a film those have in common. This continues until there is only one picture in the middle string, which then has to be "connected" to the end picture.
*There may be more than one correct way of navigating through the set of pictures. However, not every choice will let you get all the way through the list. If you think that is the case, and you find yourself stuck, you may back up as far back in the response list as you like and restart the list at that point.
*Once a movie has been used, it cannot be used again in the string.
*A person can only post to a particular set once every 6 hours; that is, you may post again 8 hours after your last post on the same set. The clock also restarts with every new set of pictures.
*Only posts in the string that finally make it to the end will count for points for those that posted on that set.
*The strings will get longer with each correct set of answers (up to a point).
*These are all film connections ... not television. And they are live action films, not animated.
*Corrections can be made but they must be made before the next person posts.
*I'm the judge, jury, and executioner. In other words in case of controversy, I make the decision.

*First person to get 10 points will be declared the winner of that round and I'll reset the points to zero.

Thanks! I don't think I can go to 10 minutes or 4 hours for now. I'm going to 6.

And that was my worry for you having to put them together. Six hours is better.

And I'm on my phone and can't adequately play yet...I willnouzzle this one out when I get home.

 

[merryohmd]

I don't mind the 8 hour rule since I'm at work 12 hours most days.

 

[merryohmd]

WOW I actually recognize some of the pictures in this new group.

This is making my head hurt. You really have to know your stars & their movies.

Here's another link to a helpful tool - IMDB.com -- on the right side of an actor's profile there is a box called Quick Links. If you hit the more button, you get another link to Credited With. There you can put the name of someone in the puzzle and see if they were in a film together. If they weren't then move to the next person.

Also...if you get stuck...figure out the puzzle starting in reverse order. Sometimes that can clear things up.

And...sometimes the eventual right answers are not what I had when I put the puzzle together. Sometimes the path is different and sometimes just the movies are different. The first two answers, I had Micke and Noomi in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo as that is the first movie in the Swedish Trilogy, the movie that was answered by CW was the third movie. And the link from Noomi to Rachel is the movie Passion. The movie I had in mind was Sherlock Holmes.

I'm giving away some answers to this puzzle but we do have new folks playing...

One more thing...if y'all are stalled and You can't come up with one particular actor, ask me for a hint. I'll post that hint for everyone. Be careful...because I'm liable to give you something obscure....cuz that's how I roll.

Robert Davi has a couple of potential links also. But I'm stuck on the 2 pictures I don't know. Besides I can't answer until tomorrow anyway.

That's what makes the path stuff interesting. I'm sure a lot of those other actors (especially the older ones) have more than one link. I know that there are at least two ways to get to the last guy ... whoever he may be.
