How the Mockingbored Sings.: Day 18: Tag! George Clooney's it!

Significant moment of the day: Completed a TAG actor movie marathon!

#1 Start us off, David Spade

It was spectacular. Technically it started last night, but i hadn't decided to include it in the game until this morning. But when the snow first hit and then the ice, it only seemed natural to do. Here's how it went.
Started with Tommy Boy, continued with Emperor's New Groove, moved on to O Brother, Where Art thou, then One Fine Day, then Friends Season 3 Episode 10, continued with Friends Season 2 episode 3, and last but not least we finished the marathon with Billy Madison. Mission accomplished.

Now, you may be asking how in the world do these movies/tv shows add up to a movie marathon?! True, they look like they have nothing in common; no common genre, plot or actor. But that's where you're wrong...

Opinion of the day: Explaining the significance of the day

#2 You're IT, John Goodman

For those of you who don't know, a TAG actor movie viewing is when you watch one movie and then watch another movie with an actor who overlaps from the former film. Hence, you *tag one person who is then "it". The key to urning this activity into a marathon? That's the tricky part. You have to start with one movie, and end with that movie. Aka, you have to play tag until you get back to the original player.

#3 Third times a charmer...George Clooney is IT

If you're still confused, here's how its done:
Tommy Boy. first tagged actor: David Spade
Emperor's New Groove: David Spade tags John Goodman
O Brother: John Goodman tags in George Clooney
One Fine Day: George Clooney tags in Mae Whitman
Friends S3 E10: Mae Whitman tags in Matthew Perry
Friends S2 E3: Matthew Perry tags in Larry Hankin
Billy Madison: Larry Hankin tags in Chris Farley
Tommy Boy: Chris Farley tags in David Spade

Genius, no? To be fair, if you haven't heard of this concept, I'm pretty sure i made it up. Its wicked fun but also incredibly hard. You kind of need a whole day to do this. Hence, why is was perfect to day with this weather. Although I did go the British Beer Company with my parents for dinner. If you haven't been its GREAT. Anyways, if you have free time and you know your movie collection pretty well, here are the rules:

1. No actor can appear in more than 2 movies (because then its just an actor movie marathon).
2. Sequels are only allowed if separated by at least one movie
3. You must be able to tag an actor in every movie and make it back to the start to consider the movie marathon completed.

4. You can use tv shows, but for every episode, you have to have at least two movies

#4 Mae Whitman's up... although I'd rather tag George Clooney again.

Also, if you want to be fancy, The TAG actor movie marathon has a point system. Obviously, the more points you get the better you do. Here's the point system:
1. You get one point for EVERY movie included in the marathon (if you watch 7 movies, 7 points)
2. TV Episodes are 1/2 point.
3. You receive one point (1/2 point for tv episode) for any actor (besides tagged) that appears in more than one film in the marathon. However, remember if ANY actor appears in more than two films, that movie is VOID.
4. BONUS: if you watch a movie on VHS, you get a point.
