    One of my favorite joints with Gary Oldman (great actor), is The Professional also known as Leon, the Professional. He plays the corrupt, psychotic DEA Agent (good performance by the way). He shoots up this family but didn't get the 12 year old girl. Anyway, Leon who is a professional hitman, rescues the girl and she tries to get Leon to teach her how to 'clean'  so she could get her revenge.

       sidenote 1: This game is based on the game Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. The creators came up with the game after Kevin Bacon said in 1993 that he had worked with everyone in Hollywood.
       
       So its said that everyone in Hollywood can be connected to Kevin Bacon at six degrees of separation ie. everyone can be linked to Kevin Bacon through at least 6 people.
       
       Kevin worked with so&so who worked with so&so who is so&so's mother who is married to so&so who was in jail with SomeGuy.
       
       So even though SomeGuy isn't exactly connected to Kevin Bacon, he is connected through 6 degrees of separation.
       
       sidenote 2: Know how they say, " I know somebody who knows somebody who knows somebody..."? Well, thats kinda like this game.
       
       Now if we connect people through saying well, she's hot just like so&so then thats not really a connection is it? Doesn't fit with the game.
       
       If we say um lets see...."Also released in 1993 - Amityville: A New Generation, directed by John Murlowski. "....then we're breaking connections right there aint we? I mean come on...its just stating facts or something. Not really a connection. Same year?
       
       notetoself : Relax its just a game.
