    [off topic]

    This is a great game if you’re with some really creative folks.

    One person picks two actors who never worked together and the other player/team has to come up with the plot of the movie. Actors can be any age they appeared on film, so someone like Helen Mirren can be anywhere from 18 to 81 years old.

    Here are a few of the better combinations we came up with.

    Bruce Lee and Marlene Deitrich

    Leslie Howard and Gary Coleman

    Christina Applegate and Christina Ricci

    James Earl Jones and Marlon Brando

      Christina Applegate and Christina Ricci

      I’d put them both fresh out of high school age in a film like Adventureland, mashed up with a Breakfast Club theme. Just a bunch of young adults figuring out where to go next in life.

        The one we came up with was Ricci as the daughter of James Garner. He’s a Texas oilman and she’s a Yale/Harvard MBA who is super focused on being the next CEO. Applegate is Daddy’s hot new wife. We were playing teams and there was a lot of back and forth as to whether Applegate should be a total airhead, a scheming psychopath, an eco-freak who hates oil, or some combination…
