Scottish actually. He was in some pretty big movies -- Moulin Rouge, three of the Star Wars movies, Black Hawk Down, and he's apparently going to be in the next Nanny McPhee movie, which must mean the global economic issues have hit even the well to do in the general Perth area.

well... it's come up several times in Nor's first tv trivia thread. just a little dig I was hoping that someone/anyone would get a laugh out of. looks like mission accomplished. lol.

I wasn't talking about him. I was talking about the british dude.

Obviously I gave that one away, otherwise the thread would have just been hanging for weeks.

Well you know me-nothing if not predictable-always go for the Brits first-although I count at least 3 more

I had to go look, and you are right. One of them is English and I didn't know it.

Nighty night all, though I guess Janey has seen the sunrise already. (p.s., I wouldn't go changing that AV anytime soon.)

ye of little faith. I had him pegged before your post, although I did have quite a bit of trouble. I had a much harder time with 2 of the other people in the top row. it turned out that my initial suspicions were correct, but I had a hell of a time finding the pictures to confirm it.

and g'night. thanks again for your efforts to provide us with entertainment.

 

[mrtnmoon]

to save everyone some trouble...

Nor's post with the results, scores and current set of pics:

RU, I also went through One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest as well ... I wouldn't typically take two links through the same movie or trilogy, but certainly I am not going to complain about multiple movies in the same trilogy, so long as they don't use the SAME movie. It's up to me to make sure they can't get to the end using both films -- and apparently I did NOT do so here.

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 24 hours; that is, you may post again 24 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.

Nor,

I'm competitive, but I also enjoy the brilliance of all the people who play this game. So many knowledgable movie people out there. I really don't care if I ever win this game, I just enjoy playing. So thank you for creating it. I am a little frustrated not to get a point on the last set, but sometimes that's the way the ball bounces.

No guarantees, but I suspect you'll get a point this time. And thanks.

Doesn't seem like there's anything little about the TWO to me.

Just one man's opinion, take it for what it's worth.
