A reminder of the VERY confusing 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.
*A person can only post to a particular set once every 12 hours; that is, you may post again 12 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 makes 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).
*One last note, these are all film connections ... not television.
*Corrections can be made but they must be made before the next person posts.

Here are some helpful suggestions:
- There is more than one way up a mountain.
- I don't work out all the scenarios, just the one that I start with. This one didn't start out the way that I did, but that doesn't mean it can't work.
- Sometimes it's easier to figure out a way from the current thread and go from there. If it doesn't work out, then go back.

Some hints....
- Google Lyrics New Frontier Donald Fagen.
- The guy on the bike is in the greatest movie motorcycle stunt ever and he did his own stunts.
- The guy in the football picture was married to a beautiful buxom blonde who died suddenly.

*snerk* I like your football hint. and the movie with the motorcycle is one of the best ever. (But thanks, now I'm going to be whistling that all day... )

I kill me.

I watched the clip on youtube where he jumps the fence. It's awesome. I love that movie. One of my favorites, too.

One more helpful suggestion - it's not the folks who have a lot of links that's the key. The key is the actors who don't have a lot of links. So, how the guy on the bike and the blondes and the football player and Vincent d'onofrio link to each other is more important than linking Matt Damon who is linked to almost everyone on the list.

Hmmm, we agree on something...this is strange

I know...normally we're locked in a vicious battle to see who can get it up and who can go down on each other...wait, that wasn't nearly as dirty as it sounds...

 

[BradBigBrain]

The only thing is about lowering the 12 hour rule is that there are people across the pond who play. It could turn out that some folks one way or the other could get totally shut out. Especially on the shorter ones.

I like the lowering the 12 hour rule when it suits me when I'm unable to be on in both the morning and afternoon I like 12 hour rule...so I am willing to be an exception to the rule
