Omg, I am feeling tempted to open a thread just with quotes from discobot
Off-topic, but I’ve been writing a book with 60 entries on different concepts and gathering quotes for them. Quotes, it turns out, are great. I think my favourite was getting a quote each by Aristotle, Asimov and Jimi Hendrix on the same page.

It is a bit far fetched at times, and I have jumped through one director, DC comics and one role, but let’s see…
Peter Sellers was famous for playing Inspector Clouseau in the Pink Panther original movies,
A role reprised by Steve Martin in the 2000s
He was a love interest of Meryl Streep in It’s Complicated.
She played the wife of Jack Nicholson in the heart breaking movie Heartburn (also about complicated marriages)
Who played The Joker in the original Batman movie, which Zack Snyder has also directed movies for the DC superheroes world, with the Caped Crusader in them,
And Zack Snyder directed Billy Cudrup in Watchmen
Darn, I cannot get away from superhero movies…
Can we connect Sean Connery to Tim Roth (and the more baddies connecting, the better)

Not quite sure that one works, as Sellers and Martin were not in a film together, same with Nicholson and Snyder, which is how the connections are supposed to work. But hey, whatever is fun!

Sean Connery was the baddie in the Avengers starring Uma Thurman
Uma Thurman played the Baddie in Batman and Robin as Did Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Arnold played the baddie in terminator genisys as did Matt Smith
Matt Smith played the baddie in Nightmare in silver in which a planet was blown up by Warwick Davis
Warwick Davis played a baddie in Labyrinth as did David Bowie.
David Bowie was a baddie in Arthur and the invisibles with Harvey Keitel.
Harvey Keitel has been in at least three films with Tim Roth, and they were pretty much always baddies.

Spent a evening talking about Bill Paxton when I saw that a older Vampire movie was added to Shudder, Near Dark, that he was in.
There are some hilarious behind the scenes info about it here

Love that. Why on Earth would Jackson push for three movies…? 
It’s literally quicker to read the book that watch all three movies (I may have timed this in a fit of rage).

I’ve still yet to fully watch any of them, but I got my partner the combined LOTR/Hobbit blu-ray set (as she’s a big Tolkien nerd) and I’ve seen some of the behind-the-scenes stuff on there.
It’s really baffling hearing them talk about how difficult it was to basically pad out the films with crap Peter Jackson was just making up. And how it was hard to make a satisfying second film that’s basically the end of film 1 and the start of film 2.

As far as I can see, a combination of:
- the LotR trilogy was a huge success, therefore fantasy trilogy again!
- nobody’s ever going to pay to have The Silmarillion filmed so this is PJ’s only chance at doing his favourite bits of that
I did a thing
Earha Kitt was in Boomerang with Eddie Murphy,
who was launching a video for Grace Jones (still in Boomerang),
mingling with his friend played by Martin Lawrence (also in Boomerang),
seducing and being played by Robin Givens, (also in Boomerang),
and eventually settling down with the beautiful Halle Berry (guess what movie? yes, Boomerang)
