Did I say "Lazy Friday" - I should have said "Friday the 13th" - last 
minute stuff delayed this a bit, sorry about that.

Anyway, here's our first public Data Flash Mob. If you missed my earlier 
message, see the blog post:

And in the spirit of Friday the 13th, we're going to fill out the Friday 
the 13th Films!

Start here:

If we all just take a few minutes to fill out the original film and the 
outgoing links, we can probably connect all of its sequels together 
pretty easily - not just by film series but also by actors/etc that 
appeared in the various films.

I read recently that New Line Cinema recently acquired rights to this 
series, so it would be interesting to see if we can do a 
kevin-bacon-game style link between the original movie and New Line.. 
see what their connection is/was before they produce the next film.

So the goal here is to fill out the Friday the 13th series of films to 
get the shortest link between New Line - i.e. maybe the directors of one 
of the sequels directed other movies by New Line? Who knows!

New Line seems to be incorrectly typed as Film, so we should fix that too

Good luck! Please report back to the list with any feedback, questions, 
comments, etc...
