Gotta make sure you have at least one film with Lee but without Cushing, and vice versa in your back pocket just in case.

I have stupid little openings based on the movies... I use the Inside movie going first on The Lighthouse, they know that Willem Dafoe won't be blocked for the first play, but I want them there. Here was the sequence after that, starting with opponent. Speed 2, To Live and Die In L.A. (people have to look this up frequently, which typically leads to the next result, I have preferred answers if they get out via William Petersen but nobody has yet), The Exorcist, The Ninth Configuration, The Exorcist 3 (here's where the pay-off is), Cult of Chucky, Alien Resurrection, Curse of Chucky... they pass Curse of Chucky back to me. Bound. They lose. As someone said before, you don't know anything about Bound except Jennifer Tilly? Tough luck, zoomer.

Just typed in Dear God (Gary Marshall) as a compliment after being stranded on an early Bergman film, and the damned thing actually linked. Never give up your dreams, folks. FWIW, they do still seem to be adding titles to the database. He Knows You're Alone is now an excellent way to derail a Tom Hanks chain.

That's amazing. While I was on break at work someone got me on Richard Gere movies. I dunno any fuckin Richard Gere movies. Just had a great outcome. Going 2nd, they went from Nope to Get Out. Had a bunch of Peele stuff yesterday, like to go to M3GAN. They somehow passed it back to me... man, if you don't know that one, good luck with Housebound. They lost. edit: https://imgur.com/a/ffIfptL I dunno if I'll ever get bored of this game when I find doing this to people incredibly funny. Jesus, someone hit me with the Keith David block after putting in Princess Mononoke, I panicked. I lost lmao. Thanks for the Sean Connery tip, someone tried to jump into Bond movies when I put down Highlander so I made an offensive skip, they of course want to name a 2nd Sean Connery movie. That's when I hit 'em with the 3rd Sean Connery movie they never heard of. lmao, cheaters. I had this guy dead to rights on a 3rd William Lustig (Uncle Sam) and he pulls Robert Forster out of his rear end. WarEternal fucked around with this message at 00:21 on Jan 16, 2024 |

Another surprising thing is how few people ever link via directors, let alone writers or anyone else. I just had a 55 response game end because I can't trap anyone,but I flummoxed the guy going his Romeo+Juliet (Leo) to strictly ballroom , he skipped, and then to moulin rouge. Later went from his Thor to Hamlet (1996) and he tapped out One of the people I notice that gets used constantly is jack black and now i just ban him because of how often he comes up. I probably need to get better at pulling people out of the 00s where I'm weakest, since I never seem to be able to get into action movies. It also stinks I can't link from something like the matrix to iron monkey. Yuen woo ping is famous! Edit offensive skip sounds awesome, I should do that since so many times its then : actor I know using a movie I've never heard of, me using same actor, them using actor third time in something I don't know trevorreznik fucked around with this message at 00:24 on Jan 16, 2024 |

I really like the Willem Dafoe start, you trick them into giving you Willem Dafoe 3 and they all have to look up To Live and Die in LA, or it lets you Spider-Man out into the Sam Raimi/William Lustig combo. If they Exorcist out from To Live and Die... I hit 'em with the Blatty. Some guy passed it back to me and I said Manhunter, then suddenly he knew who William Petersen was, but I got him to look at the cast on The Skulls and take the Paul Walker bait. He tried to get out with Vin Diesel but the dummy already used his skip and I put him in Tromaville from Guardians of the Galaxy. here's how it went: Inside, The Fault in Our Stars, To Live and Die in L.A., OPPONENT SKIP, Manhunter, The Contender, The Skulls, OPPONENT LOOKS AT CAST, Fast & Furious, MY SKIP (was hoping to Tammy and the T. Rex him on a Paul Walker pass-back), The Last Witch Hunter, xXx, Guardians of the Galaxy, Toxic Avenger, Tromeo & Juliet, Class of Nuke 'Em High for the win. Alright, sorry to be annoying but I have to share this loving amazing sequence I just pulled on a guy who was 8 and 0. Opponent going first. (OPEN MOVIE) Hereditary, Excalibur, Miller's Crossing, End of Days, Hercules in New York, Red Sonja, Terminator 2, Brainscan, Pecker, Pink Flamingos, Cecil B. Demented, Serial Mom, Body Heat, Altered States, A History of Violence (this is me trying to get to Texas Chainsaw 3), Shivers, Eastern Promises (still trying), Dead Ringers, Dungeons & Dragons, Die Hard: With A Vengeance OKAY, here's where I tell you my Hereditary bans are M. Night Shyamalan, Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson. Unreakable, OPPONENT SKIP, Glass, X-Men: First Class, X-Men: Apocalypse (this is me trying to get to Bryan Singer, which goes to Star Trek: Nemesis and Michael Dorn movies), Inside Llewyn Davis, Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Brick, Witness (This is my trap, I know Lukas Haas is in a bunch of Rian Johnson poo poo and I'm setting up the win state), Regarding Henry, OFFENSIVE SKIP FROM ME, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Firewall. That's right, Firewall! Nobody saw that poo poo but me! omg, I love the See You Yesterday tip so much. They went first on Nope to Get Out, I put See You Yesterday, somehow they don't think what my first thought was, "he probably composes for other Jordan Peele movies". No, their first thought is "CAST LIST, ooh, Michael J. Fox!". Me, PASS. Them? Wtf? Back To the Future. Me: FRIGHTENERS, bye bye! WarEternal fucked around with this message at 01:24 on Jan 16, 2024 |

I've used Candyman plenty of times, should link it to Firewall next time lol. Here's a fun one: me going first To Live and Die in LA, The Northman, Spider-Man 2, Pleasantville, Across the Spider-Verse, Tropic Thunder, Vanilla Sky, Knight and Day, Cocktail...

I need to stop trying to play this on mobile, it's frustrating to see someone rapid fire a half dozen guesses of large cast movies (tenenbauns, platoon, etc) and then I get blocked once and can't type fast enough to do another entry Heck, just being able to see the bans in place would be helpful. I don't hit them all that often The name of the game really is finding the worst bombs on earth for actor 3 plays. Someone gave me honey I shrunk the kids 3, whatever the actual title is, as the third Rick moranis movie and I got mad I walked into the trap. I do wish you could volley more especially with guys like Michael Rooker - none of these people know Henry portrait of a serial killer or that he's in cliffhanger, but they can just do guardians of the galaxy a few times and that's enough Edit gently caress had a great match where we both went old, going all the way back to cabinet of Dr caligari. The guy went with mabuse, I got lucky guessing one , and then watched him hammer a bunch of big cast movies (mad mad mad world, oceans eleven) before skipping back to me and I was out of options. The keyboard vs phone typing is a humongous advantage considering how there's no penalty for guessing a bunch of ensemble movies trevorreznik fucked around with this message at 04:08 on Jan 16, 2024 |

I think the meta is shifting from "strand them in a one-man show" to "lure them into an insular filmography and strand them with the one movie not in that group" Like, if you can get them to burn as many of the Adam Sandler usual suspects then hit them with a Grandma's Boy or Bucky Larson that has exactly one (but not the whole crew) of the Sandlerverse people in it, and have it be the third. I will say that I try and play Avengers: Endgame and Movie 43 as linking 1st shots ASAP if I can, just to keep other people from Hail Marying later with them.

I type fast but I still can't throw out 10 movies in 10 seconds like they do. Also, on Richard Matheson you can use What Dreams May Come, Legend of Hell House. I tried Real Steel and The Box but neither one worked for me. It's too late to matter now, and I don't even remember what the connection was, but someone showed me that somehow the Nic Cage color out of space gets you out of Inside and some Dutch movie called The Loft, the dummy who showed me that used it BEFORE Vanishing '88.

I've been wondering if Whedon is credited on Speed on there. I haven't tried it yet I learned is that Tilda Swinton is credited on Avengers: Endgame because someone wriggled out of my Star Trek loop by hitting X-Men: First Class off of Star Trek: Generations, even though the only shared credit there is some guy named Glenn Morshower. They were trying to hit another Patrick Stewart movie. I went with the new Fincher movie that has Fassbender in it because they'd already used their cast list/skip when I hit them with the Michael Dorn movie. After that, I just went with Only Lovers Left Alive and they see Tom Hiddleston and put one of the Thor movies, then I got 'em with Crimson Peak. The plan after that was, if they realized it was a Guillermo movie hit them with the Spanish-language films.
