Jeffrey Whonter?

Look at the new movie out today (2-24) and think back to 1961.
King of Kings, Jesus movie
:wink:

-I'm assuming that Jeffrey Hunter played Jesus, or one of his buddies
-some folks believe that Jesus is the son of/is god
-some folks also believe that god created cephalopods

or

-Jesus = son of god
-Friedrich Neitzsche proclaimed that "God is dead" and suggested the 'Übermensch' (Superman) to fill that void (or something like that, I'm not drunk now so I might be way off)
-Christopher Reeve played Superman in Superman with Gene Hackman
-Hackman in Runaway Jury with Dustin Hoffman
-Hoffman in Sphere

Shirley Temple (better with vodka!)

- shirley temple was in heidi
- a different version of heidi interrupted a football game involving the raiders
- john madden once coached the raiders
- madden with keanu in The Replacements
- Matrix



How about Dwight Yoakam?

Jeffrey Hunter played Capt. Christopher Pike in the pilot episode of Star Trek 'The Cage' in 1964(ish).
Someone in a wheelchair playing Pike met Bill Shatner in the episode 'The Menagerie'.
Bill Shatner arranged to transport two humpback whales from 1986 to the 23rd century in ST:IV.
Humpback Whales share a common ancestor with Sperm Whales.
Sperm Whales, of course, eat squid.

Does that count? Or do I win a Geek Oscar with that one?

How about Donald Rumsfeld?

Sorry but this is just to easy

Dwight Yokam - Harrision Ford (Hollywood Homicide)
Harrison Ford - Star Wars

Did i suggest Victor Wong already?

how about James Gandolfini?

How about Max von Sydow?

Max von Sydow's niece Amy was in some of my German courses in college. Does that count? No? OK...

Max von Sydow > Strange Brew > Rick Moranis
Rick Moranis > Ghostbusters > Sigourney Weaver
Sigourney Weaver > Galaxy Quest > the squidlike Thermians played by Missi Pyle etc.

:heee:

Very 8).

You can actually stop at Strange Brew, y'know. There's mention of an octopus being thrown on the ice when the McKenzies are clowning around in Brewmeister Smith's control room.

Gandolfini in True Romance with Brad Pitt


actually both james and brad were also in the one julia roberts movie i can stomach... The Mexican

One note to promote the health of the game though... if you solve one, toss one out....

Let's see if i can kick start things.....

In honor of Tani's return from the the Ethers, i picked someone i think she might approve of....

Feeling a bit like Chairman Kaga,
("if memory serves me right..." :smile: )

WK

John Malkovich was in Death of a Salesman with Dustin Hoffman
Dustin Hoffman was in Sphere

I saw the Bernie Casey reference further back on this thread; terrific actor.

Bernie Casey was in Cleopatra Jones with Shelly Winters
Shelly Winters was in Tentacles

Andy Dick

Andy Dick to Ben Stiller on The Ben Stiller Show
Ben Stiller to Dustin Hoffman in Meet the Fockers
Dustin Hoffman in Sphere

or a larger seperation:

Andy Dick to Ben Stiller
Ben Stiller to Robert De Niro in Meet the Parents/Meet the Fockers
Robert De Niro to Sharon Stone in Casino
Sharon Stone in Sphere

How about Lucille Ball?

C'mon, this one is super easy.

Erich

:wink: Very interesting....I don't have a single clue what you poeple are talking about. :confused:

I've given a few days for this one, so I'll answer it myself and try to come up with another.

Lucille Ball starred opposite Bob Hope in the film Sorrowful Jones
Bob Hope was attacked by an Architeuthis in The Road to Bali (hilarious sequence).

:archi:

How is this for a toughy:

Dr. Steve O'Shea

Uhhhhhh.... :confused:

I own it on DVD. But just went back and watched it. Yeah, the eye-placement is a little weird, but other than that, the tentacles that attack Bob Hope are great. Still, the use of ink is a little premature, but makes for good comedy between Hope/Crosby later. Arichiteuthis shoud have their eyes facing sideways, not more-cuttlefishlike. The certain fact that Bob Hope got attacked by an Architeuthis should be a cause for celebration.

i was hoping someone else wouldve jumped in... my knowledge of older movies is spotty.... and i never really cared for lucille....

how about a oscar edition? ill pick what immeadiately comes to mind as the hardest (there are some easy ones and some previously attempted ones out there)
