Six Degrees of Middlearth--For Movies! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Okay, I already searched the forums, and the last time someone did a Kevin Bacon game wasn't even in the movies forum and it was like, two years ago to the last post. So let's start another one. Technically I don't know if it's a game or not, even though 'game' is in the title, so I stuck it here first.

Rules: You have to link an actor or actress from LOTR: FOTR,TTT,or ROTK to one of THEIR movies, to Kevin Bacon, and back to themself on a DIFFERENT path. Example given: Orlando Bloom.
ORLANDO BLOOM->Pirates of the Caribbean/Johnny Depp->Benny and Joon/Oliver Platt->Flatliners/KEVIN BACON->Tom Guiry->A Few Good Men/Josh Hartnett->Black Hawk Down/ORLANDO BLOOM

It's difficult, I know, but since it's a round trip, finding a good cheat website will be hard. (PS don't use the Oracle of Bacon at Virginia! I'll know!)

Let's start with Miranda Otto.

This seems to me to be very similar to Connect the Movies.

At the very least, it belongs in the same forum. Moving to Middle-earth Mirth ...

not that I have anything against kevin bacon, but why must we use him and not another actor? and must we really use a connecting actor? I mean, the trip back is hard enough as it is...

Evisse, I think Beanamir picked Kevin Bacon because he's the tradition! (Check out the Oracle of Bacon, it's very good fun)

I was pondering this puzzle myself last night, actually, I didn't get very far, it's a tough one!

Beanamir

I don't get the connection between Tom Guiry and A Few Good Men. But you could have missed that out anyway, as Tom Guiry was in Black Hawk Down.

As for Miranda, how about:

Sorry about Tom Guiry

-- I was thinking of someone else. But to make amends, Cuba Gooding Jr was in A Few Good Men, and was also in Pearl Harbor with Josh Hartnett who was ... anyway.

Yes this is similar to Connect the Movies but it involves the Bacon.

So who's next, Saucepan? Or whoever wants to suggest someone?
