the challenge

During our drive three hours south to visit our families this weekend, Justin and I started playing a new game to pass the time.  We didn't think of it -- it was introduced to him during a long boring shift at Blockbuster -- but I feel brilliant just in passing it along to you.

I give you: That Actors/Actresses Game.

It proceeds a-like so:

Me: Name your actor.

Justin: John Cusack.  Name yours.

Me: Samuel L. Jackson.

Okay.  The fun begins.  You have to link these two actors based on costars they've shared movies with.  From memory (no imdb-ing!).  I have a tendency to not necessarily take the shortest route -- there are some big movies I've missed, but I usually get there.  Also, you can't use any of the Oceans 11 movies.  That's just cheating.

This one's an easy one:

John Cusack, Julia Roberts, America's Sweethearts;

Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt, The Mexican;

Brad Pitt, Geena Davis, Thelma and Louise;

Geena Davis, Samuel L. Jackson, The Long Kiss Goodnight.

It's That Actors/Actresses Game.  Keep it up your sleeve.

Oh, and Team Lawlis will accept challenges.
