Here's how this is played. Similair to the Kevin Bacon game, you come up with two characters and try to find a trail that connects them, using comics, books, movies and video games, in which you can link with characters or actors. Here are a few examples---
Boba Fett (Star Wars) and Batman (Batman) Boba Fett was in Empire Strikes Back, with Luke Skywalker, played by Mark Hamill, who played the Joker in the Batman cartoon, which stared, well, Batman. The Boondock Saints (from the movie) to Michael Weston (Burn Notice) In the Boondock movie, William Dafoe plays a cop, and he plays the Green Goblin in Spider-Man, which had a cameo by Bruce Campbell, who stars alongside the character of Michael Weston as Sam Axe in Burn Notice. Jack Shepard (Lost) and John Shepard (Mass Effect) (this one was tough!) (Gasps for air) Jack Shepard was played by Matthew Fox, who was in Vantage Point with Dennis Quaid, who plays Hawk in the Joe movie, which has Ray Park as Snake Eyes. Park played Darth Maul in Star Wars Ep 1, which also had R2-D2. R2-D2 was in Star Wars Legacy comics, and there was a cross over event called Vector that starred a character called Celeste, who also made an appearance in the Knights of the Old Republic comics, which has many characters that appear in the same-titled video game, such as Revan and Malak, which stars Jennifer Hale as Bastila Shan, the Jedi Love interest, who also plays Jane Shepard, John Shepard's female version in Mass Effect, WHEW!!! So, there you have it. Here are some characters for you folks to link. Captain America to Conan the Barbarian Cortana (Halo) to Cordelia (Buffy/Angel) Temperance "Bones" Brennan (Bones) to Harley Quinzel/ Harley Quin (Batman) The Baroness (GI Joe, duh) to Elika (Prince of Persia) have fun! |

No kidding?!!? Wow,I had a convoluted link---
Captain America knew Wolverine in WWII, who was played by Hugh Jackman, who met Christian Bale in the Prestige, but was also in terminator alvation, part of a series and a movie that included Arnold Schwarzennegar, who played Conan. You win though! |

Baroness, played by Sienna Miller, who was in "Layer Cake" with Daniel Craig. Daniel Craig was in "Quantum of Solace" with Gemma Atherton. Gemma Atherton is in the film version of "Prince of Persia", which has Elika as a character.
Does that count?

you can hypothetically make weird pop culture randomness out of anything ie:
Elvis Presley to Dick Cheney Elvis's daughter married Michael Jackson, who owned the bones of the elephant man, whose life story was told in a movie starring Anthony Hopkins, who played Hannibal Lecter in Silence of the lambs with jodie foster, who posed nude for a magazine which was read by John Hinkley and was thusly inspired to attempt an assasination on reagan....but anyway....was childhood friends with George W Bush whose Vice President was Dick Cheney. OR Nightcrawler To Denise Richards nightcrawler was created by writer Len Wein, who also created swamp thing, the second swamp thing movie starred heather locklear, who married richie sambora of Bon Jovi, a band which Jon Bon Jovi was unfortunately a part of...but who was in the Young Guns sequel with Emilio Estevez, brother of Charlie Sheen who at one time was married to Denise Richards. Its called Bi-lateral association, conspiracy theorists thrive on it.

Shorter, but not nearly as cool. :b |

and they all point towards Elvis. I. E. Elvis to Ol Dirty Bastard of The Wu Tang. Elvis was on a label with Johnny Cash, Johny Cash worked with Kris Kristofferson on songs, kris krisstoferson was in He's Not That Into you with Scarlett Johansen, who was in Lost in Translation with Bill Murray, who was in Coffee and Cigarettes with RZA and GZA of Wu-tang clan, of which Ol Dirty Bastard was a member. or Elvis to Alien Elvis's daughter was married to michael jackson, whose thriller video was directed by John Landis who also directed Trading Places with Dan Akroyd...who was in ghostbusters with Sigourney Weaver, who was in Alien. to take it a step further and even tie Nightcrawler into it: Sigourney weaver was in Alien, with John Hurt, who was in Hellboy, directed by Guillermo Del Toro, who is Directing The Hobbit, with Ian McKellen, who was in X2 as Magneto, and Nightcrawler was in the same movie. there are always further down the rabbit holes on everything, like I said, these games are a conspiracy theorists worst nightmare..or wet dream. This kind of association could lead to the conspiracy that there is some shady business in Denise Richards getting a part in a movie entitled "Elvis has left the building" if you connect all of these posts.

Bill Sienkiewicz rules. I was going to scan and post a picture of that issue's pimp Conan, but a quick Google search reveals that somebody beat me to it (not surprisingly). XD London Loves Comics: What If? #43 |
