[CDAN] Maybe *rgy is the wrong word to describe what happened on the making of this movie, but there was certainly lots of rampant sex going on. It all started with an A list movie actress at the time who was starring in a franchise and wanted to keep her glory. She hated doing this movie, but she was committed so decided to make the best of it. For her, this meant having as much sex and doing as many dr*gs as possible while making the movie. Every co-star was fair game and when one actor thought he was the one she found special, he would be replaced and a new one brought in. She was the goddess of the movie and acted like it. She was a way larger star than any other actor on the film, primarily because she was charging so much to be in it that there was no budget for anyone else.
Besides having sex with the actors on the set, she also brought in an old co-star who was still hanging on to his A list acting fame at the time. An Academy Award winner he dropped by the set and the next thing you know, the pair were in his hotel room and not her trailer. He was with his now wife at the time, but he had wanted the goddess when they had last made a movie together and she had turned him down. This time he was having her, marriage be damned.
Oh, there was the B list movie actress with the alliteration for a name who stopped by one day and they reunited after a few years apart. This actress has played in some very steamy roles of her own.
There was one actor, now a B- list who claimed he had never had sex with a woman before. Men yes, but not women so our goddess had to have him. She did. Now he is married to a B list actress.
Angelina Jolie
Working the clues-
“It all started with” suggest a movement in time. Post Raiders (’03/’04)she rcvd little to no industry cred as a leading lady that was relenvant. Until ’05 Mr. Mrs. SMith rumored daliance with leading A List Actor.
Biting off a small role in her next BIG film The Good Shepard (’05)that got her critical acclaim and rumored
…rumored flings with a myraid of the co-stars. The Academy Award winning ex-costar could have been many but most wispered about was Brad Pitt and or Tim Hutton (who had a brief role in the film. Possibly Shimuzu for the B movie actress. And James McCovoy virginity could have been taken during
Angelina”Wanted” James Mcovoy was much more than her next.: )
film. He’smarried to some actress today.
LOL You’re trying really hard to make it AJ, but it doesn’t work. She’s A list all the way, not “A list at the time”, and I cannot get on board with either Jenny Shimuzu or James McAvoy being B list now or ever. Also, there’s no alliteration with Shimuzu and I’ve never even heard of McAvoy’s wife so she’s certainly no B-lister. The guess of Sharon Stone with Michael Douglas/Gina Gershon/Hugh Dancey does seem like a much better fit.
Sorry, misread the B-list female – not the wife. Still standing by it not being Angie, though.
*Ann-Marie Duff married to James McAvoy.
*Shoot-Forgot the alliterati clue. dang.
A for effort?
Jesus…I just scored a 720 on the GMAT and I cannot make heads or tails of this! What a bowl of spaghetti.
Love it!
Congrats on the score! (I’m in a “smart” grad program and I can’t figure it out either.)
Amen. CDAN makes me want to drink…a lot.
angelina jolie
Angelina Jolie for the actress and tomb raider for the franchise….
CATE BLANCHET LOTR

“I DON’T KNOW WHAT WE’RE YELLING ABOUT!!!!”
“LOUD NOISES!”
I love lamp.
I love table.
I ate fiberglass insulation. It’s not cotton candy like the guy said… my tummy itches.
LMAO!!!
Best mini thread EVER
I have no clue who this is but:
Sharon Stone for the B-list movie actress with the alliteration for a name….
Sharon Stone
Can only think of Lucy Lui so far in terms of name alliteration and B list. I think we can rule lilo out due to her tender age at the time… Hopefully!
Uh-Angelina Jolie? Happy Friday, Ace! : )
Oh Dame Maggie Smith, you minx you!
Thank you, I needed that
Rawr.
Ugh I wan’t to say Angelina in Alexander. But she was not A-list in 2004. And Colin Farrell was a waaay bigger star than she was back then. AND they began dating during, so the blind doesn’t fit.
Reese Witherspoon?
A list movie actress starring in a franchise, into sex and drugs
Academy Award Winning Former A list Actor, his current wife was with him during the affair
B list movie actress with the alliteration for a name, played in some steamy roles
B- list actor, usually been with men, never had sex with a woman, now married to a B list actress
Carrie Fisher for the “Goddess”
Eek! I have no idea who this is about, but I caught a case of the Gift That Keeps On Givin’ just from reading it! Hopefully the actress has a group plan for meds at the Hollywood STD clinic.
Ha!
Angelina Jolie – Lara Croft?
Angelina Jolie in Alexander.
movie: Basic Instinct 2
Goddess: Shharon Stone
Old Oscar winner who dropped the movie: Michael Douglas
B list actress with stemy roles:Charlotte Rampling
B list never sex with women before but married to B list actress: Hugh Dancy/wife Claire Danes
Bam! I think you have it!!!
I agree, this seems to fit well.
I think this is it, except for Charlotte Rampling is not an alliterative name.
But everything else fits. The Muse=Goddess
This is enticing…but there’s no alliteration in Charlotte Rampling.
^On board with this! Good work!
Makes good sense except for Charlotte Rampling. No alliteration there. Alliteration means the woman’s first name and last name start with the same letter. Like January Jones (example, I don’t think it’s her).
Gina Gershon instead of Charlotte Rampling
Uma Therman from Percy Jackson & the Lightning Thief.
Why’d you pick that film? Quite random.
Uma played a goddess in the film, granted not a pretty goddess, and she had starred in the kill bill franchise.
To me, goddess is clearly the clue and I think it needs to be taken literally.
BUT….I just looked up Sharon stone and see that she just wrapped up a movie where she’s playing Aphrodite, so, I’m on board with ms stone.
Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct 2
Michael Douglas as the A list at the time actor
Gina Gershon as actress with steamy roles of her own
Hugh Dancy as the gay actor now married to Claire Danes
sounds good to me
There it is! Good work.
Looks good, ‘cuz this one is definitely a noggin-scratcher.
BTW just watched Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome; nice name, Uncle Entity lol!
OH OH! Yes… ^^THIS
yes yes yes YES!!!!!!!!!!
Yes! It definitely works. She made $13.6m for the film (it had a $70m budget), which is pretty high considering what a terrible film it was. I’m sure she didn’t want to make it, because it was so bad.
Michael Douglas was her Basic Instinct co-star.
Hugh Dancy was in Basic Instinct 2, was rumoured to be gay, and is married to Claire Danes, who is B-list.
Gina Gershon was never in anything with Sharon Stone, but certainly had steamy roles (Showgirls) and her name is an alliteration. They’re also distant cousins: “The BASIC INSTINCT star has known she’s related to the SHOWGIRLS beauty for some time, but chose to keep it quiet from everybody because Gershon’s sister TRACY served as one of the judges on country talent search show NASHVILLE STAR – and Stone’s brother’s girlfriend was a contestant.”
Good work, UncleEntity!
I’m with you on this, but wondering about Gina Gershwin. Except for the name alliteration, was she in a movie with Sharon Stone and that’s why she dropped by? My head was spinning when I read this blind, so kudos to you for coming up with this guess!
Great job. This was a toughie
I don’t see Gina Gershon on the IMDB listing…
“Gina Gershon” is not alliterative, which is a sound, not a sight, poetic device.
Agreed. They’re different sounds for “G.”
I find it amusing that people expect CDAN, who has trouble with basic sentence structure, to know or care about the proper use of alliteration.
I don’t know if all the clues fit…but it sounds like something Angelina Jolie would do, since she’s “done” all of her co-stars, whether they are male or female.
She didn’t become A-list until after Mr and Mrs Smith, and we all know what happened there
I don’t know what your smokin’ but she got her Oscar in 99 for Girl Interupted long before starring in Mr & Mrs. Smith in 2005…..So she was A-list long before that.
That’s when they ALL became A++ list, isn’t it? Ange, Brad AND Jen.
Sigourney Weaver and one of the bajillion Alien movies?
hmm…kate beckinsale and underworld? i have no idea.
Actress: Michelle Phieffer (sp?) Goddess= Catwoman
Movie: Batman
Just a guess, I have no clue though…
Franchise: X-Men (The horrible 3rd one, i think)
A-List Actress: Halle Berry
Old co-star: Warren Beatty (Both were in Bulworth)
B-list alliteration actress: Sharon Stone (Both were in Catwoman)
That’s as far as i got i don’t know who could fit for the last part.
can’t be because the X Men casts are all full of stars.
Is Megan Fox A list?
Angelina Jolie
I think this is Sharon Stone.
I like the Sharon Stone guess…My first thought was Angelina Jolivette..
Sharon Stone, Michael Douglas, Gina Gershon (alliteration) Hugh Dancy and Clare Danes.
Gershon isn’t in the movie according to IMDB.
If they’re counting Gina Gershon for alliteration, it’s weak. Alliteration is more about the *sound* and not the *letter.* So even though Gina Gershon is GG, sound-wise, her name isn’t really an alliteration.
While the actress may or may not be Gershon, the blind never clarifies if it is a consonantal or vocalic alliteration
Those are both sound alliterations of which GG has neither.
“It all started with an A list movie actress at the time”
Unfortunately for those who hate Angie, she was and still is A-list.
By the way, “In the land of blood and honey” is exceptional.
In the Land of Blood and Honey was riveting. Not hating but AJ fits alot of the clues in this blind which also happened to be, rather morally comprimised clues…No hating here. : )
So was there girl on girl action here – did the A list and B list girls get together, or is it the B list actress with the male oscar winner?
Goddess – Angelina Jolie
Hated franchise – Kung Fu Panda
Academy Award winner: Johnny Depp
B-list alliteration actress: Lucy Liu
B-list deflowered actor: Jack Black
I’m pretty sure Jack Black had kids at that point.
Do they have trailers where your voicing a character?
Ah good point!
Lucy Liu has been vocal about being bisexual. So, this fits to me!
Actress Jamie Lee Curtis Franchise -Hallowe’en
Holding on to A-List in Hallowe’en H20 20 Years Later 1998
Former Costar, Kevin Kline – Oscar winner A Fish Called Wanda -1988
Married to Phoebe Cates (they married in 1989)
Alliterative Actress Gina Gershon/Sharon Stone
B-list movie actor -Josh Hartnett or Joseph Gordon-Levitt …if either were married. Dang!
goddess:Halle Berry (from X-men movies) on CATWOMAN set
A list married guy: Warren Beatty
B list actress with steamy roles :Sharon Stone
B list actor married with B list actress: Benjamin Bratt
just to be different
Catwoman isn’t a franchise is it??
i thought the movie is not necessarily her famous franchise but another movie that she wanted to do
Sorry my little donkeys! Angelina Jolie became an A-list actress since she won an Academy Award for her role in Girl Interrupted way before Mr. & Mrs. Smith. But after having said that, it’s not her
I looove Angelina, and I don’t think it’s about her either, but an Oscar doesn’t mean you’re A-list.
Wow, then what does?
Angelina became A-list once Tomb Raider was a hit (franchise + Oscar). She became A + after the triangle.
Take away the triangle she’s still A list based on her Oscar, and her box office. Same for Brad 3 Oscar noms plus a long string of critically acclaimed movies dating back to A River Runs through it and Thelma and Louise. Not so for Jennifer…She’s A-list TV and SHOULD be B list film.
If all it took to become A-list was an Oscar, imagine how many A-list actors there would be. Considering all winners for Supporting Actor/ress & Leading Actor/ress, there would literally be hundreds. Including actors from YEARS ago who won an Oscar and who we don’t hear of anymore (Mira Sorvino being an example).
Just by that reasoning alone, there is no way that all it takes to become A-list is an Oscar win.
Alternative guess:
Franchise – Ocean’s Twelve
Overpaid Goddess – Julia Roberts
Visiting Co-star – Denzel Washington
“Steamy” Alliterative Amie – Susan Sarandon (Bull Durham; Thelma & Louise)
Gay 2 Straight Guy – ????
Can’t be Oceans 12..starrt studded cast.
I think there’s some confusion as to what alliteration means. Alliteration is about SOUND, not just the LETTER. So Lucy Liu, Susan Surandon and January Jones have alliterative names, but Sharon Stone and Gina Gershon do not.
I think the best guess so far is probably Sharon Stone, Michael Douglas and Hugh Dancy, with the B-list alliterative actress still TBA.
I like the Sharon Stone guesses…how about Catherine Keener for the alliteration/meeting up a few years later? She was in Simpatico with Sharon Stone in 1999 between Basic Instinct and Basic Instinct 2, and the “very steamy role” being her role as a dominatrix in “Being John Malkovich”??
“Alien” franchise.
Goddess = Sigourney Weaver.
“…She was a way larger star than any other actor on the film, primarily because she was charging so much…”
The blind doesn’t indicate that there were no other stars in this cast just that she stole everyone’s luster by out-charging them.
Sorry, this was a reply to “bananas”.
Que?
Say what?
Larger than Clooney, Pitt, Gould… Nope.
I read this blind to mean that the franchise movies and the orgy movie are not the same. The orgy movie was done either after the franchise or in between the franchise to keep her name in the public eye, even though she hated the film. Halle Berry can fit for this, she was in the X-men franchise, she was the star of Catwoman and was paid a ton of money for it. Warren Beatty fits for the A List Oscar Winner, but I’m stumped on the alliterative actress ‘who stopped by the set’ and the male who is now married to a b-list actress.
i had the same idea about the franchise and the orgy movie was the same movie
May go with Uma, when married to Gary Oldman, big d…g abuse going on
Very few of the clues fit so don’t throw me under the bus but doncha think the gal in the picture has a look of a young Elizabeth Taylor?
January Jones as the B-list movie actress with alliteration name! Haven’t a clue for the others..
Ace, I have to take this time to thank you for giving us such well written blinds. You know how difficult it can be to keep facts straight when all we have to go on is Actress A, Actor B, etc. You keep all the details as easy to follow as possible. Thanks again!
You’re very welcome, Think! Love, Ace
I’m thinking it was Liz Taylor back in the day when they made Cleopatra..
But she remained A list after that film until her death so she doesn’t fit either.
Elizabeth Taylor was never in a “franchise.”
Laura Linney as another possibility for the steamy alliterative B-lister. I believe she was “steamy” in Kinsey, although I have not seen it.
Also, Holly Hunter and Rene Russo. Still thinking about the “goddess”.
Only thing I can find is Michelle Pfeiffer in Grease 2, however, that movie is ancient!
Another guess for the alliterative B Lister is Rebecca Romijn.
Megan Fox
Lindsay Lohan
Brian Austen Green
Definitely Jolie and the franchise was Tomb Raider
All of the names mentioned are alliterative. You’re right about sound repetition being the core of alliteration, but the definition is not so restrictive to preclude any of those names.
That said, try the steamy Rene Russo for Sharon Stone’s salacious female fling.
