Joko's posts with tag: games
I invented a game for movie buffs in 2001 and naturally, I named it "Joko's Movie Game". I can play the game with my friends forever and it helps to stay happy when you're trapped in Jakarta's ridiculous traffic.
Here's how to play it and it's very simple:
This is initially a two-players game although I guess you play with as many players as you want. One of the players will mention a movie title, then the other should mention another movie title which has one actor who is also in the first movie.
Example: You say "Pretty Woman", and your opponent may say "My Best Friend's Wedding" by using Julia Roberts. Then you should come up with another movie which has one actor from "My Best Friend's Wedding" but it can't be Julia Roberts. You may want to use Dermot Mulroney and say "About Schmidt" but it will be too easy because your opponent would immediately use Jack Nicholson to come up with another title. The point is to find the most unknown, obscure title so your opponent won't be able to come up with another title, and you'll win one point. You may mention Mulroney's 1991 unknown "Survival Quest".
Rules:
-The player who just wins should start with a new title.
-The new title should be a popular movie. For instance, if you start the game, you can't say "Killer Condom" because then you opponent will unlikely able to come up with another title.
Try it. It's fun. Guaranteed. And when you're having fun, remember who invented it, Baby.
Here's the transcript for a game I played last night with my friend Toni last night:
Me : Die Hard
Toni : Hudson Hawk (using Bruce Willis)
Me : Getting Wasted (using David Caruso)
Toni : What the fuck is that? 
And of course, I won again.
