Here are the rules- get ready to test your knowledge of actors/movies and directors with the six degrees of separation blogathon. You will get two names of either actors/actresses/directors or movies and what you will have to do is make a link between them in a maximum of six steps.
1. First of all, Jason Statham is so freaking hot. But in addition to that, he also starred in my third favorite movie of all time - Snatch, alongside hilarious Brad Pitt.
2. Brad Pitt also starred in awesome Burn After Reading which also featured George Clooney and these two shared a scene in a quite mindblowing manner.
3. George Clooney was in Up in the Air, where his love interest was played by Vera Farmiga
4. Vera was also in The Departed which featured Leonardo DiCaprio
5. Leonardo Dicaprio was in J.Edgar where Naomi Watts was, much like him, also wasting her time.
6. Naomi Watts starred in Michael Haneke Funny Games
So many of you already took part in this blogathon, but there's the most knowledgeable movie blogger out there - Alex - who didn't, so I'm passing this to him.
And the goal is to get from Michael Haneke to, surprise, surprise, Stephen Dillane!
Very cool set of connections Sati! It's been a lot of fun trailing this blogathon. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you,glad you liked it!
DeleteLove this blogathon. I participated in it back in 2012.
ReplyDeleteGreat connection choice Sati. :)
Thanks! It was such a cool brain exercise :)
DeleteThis is THE coolest blogathon I've ever seen. I love the gifs here! Can't wait to see how Dillane is connected to Haneke...
ReplyDeleteMe too! :P I swear to God I'm just gonna spread love for this man as often as I can :)
DeleteOK, Michael Haneke did La Pianiste w/ Isabelle Huppert who worked with Francois Ozon in 8 Femmes who worked with Charlotte Rampling in Under the Sand (and 3 other films) who did Spy Games w/ Stephen Dillane.
ReplyDeleteVery good! She is only in 2 scenes in Spy Game too so that's a nice catch
DeleteThis has been a fun blogathon to do wasn't it? Very nice Sati, how fun that you used animated gifs here and I'm very surprised about your choice as the end goal, ha!
ReplyDeleteYes, I think everyone is shocked about my choice :)
DeleteGreat connection there, Sati! :D That burn after reading scene frightened me >_<
ReplyDeleteRealy?:D Did you see the movie? It's really funny! ^^
DeleteThis one was awesome and I love your use of gifs! Really interested to see how Haneke can be connected to the lovely Stephen Dillane.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm interested in that too, normally I'd check if it's possible but Stephen was in such huge ensemble casts I'm sure Alex will find a way :)
DeleteI love this... I guess everybody can be connected like this ! and for some reason, this understanding makes me happy. But oh well, I'm sad also because nobody has ever passed me a blogathon before.. so.. I can't see how I can participate. :(
ReplyDeleteSeriously, no one ever? How is that possible?! This seems to be going on several blogs at once so I'm sure someone passes the baton to you!
DeleteI knew you'd rock this! So glad you took it and ran. Can't wait to see where Alex takes this.
ReplyDeleteThanks for passing it to me! It was nice...starting with Jason...and getting to include Stephen somehow too :D:D:D
DeleteAwesome entry! Thanks for joining.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting this, so much fun!
Delete"Most knowledgeable"?! Whoa, thanks! I'll have mine posted later today.
ReplyDeleteI don't think anyone would be offended if I wrote you know more than all of us combined....because it's true :) Can't wait to see it!
DeleteThat was cool. Wow, I've watched none of these movies. I guess I should watch them since you used scenes from them, shouldn't I? Especially Snatch.
ReplyDeleteI like all 4 movies except the last 2 :) Snatch is so freaking hilarious, it's the funniest comedy, other than In the Loop and the show 'The Thick of It' that I've seen
DeleteLOL. Pitt's face in Burn After Reading. I laugh every time! Awesome post, I look forward to seeing Alex connect Dillane! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I just couldn't help myself and had to add that particular gif :)
DeleteNicely done! Major props for including Snatch and Up In the Air, two great movies right there.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Glad you like Snatch!
DeleteAwesome job! I love every film you mentioned, except for J. Edgar, obviously. ;)
ReplyDeleteJ. Edgar was so awful :/
