Do you want to get involved in a multi-blog movie event? All you need is a blog (or access to post on somebody else’s blog).
The idea is a variation on the radio program Desert Island Discs. For those who don’t know, the show has been running on the BBC for nearly 70 years. Guests are invited to imagine themselves cast away on a desert island with only eight pieces of music to listen to. Simply pick the eight DVD’s that if you were stranded on a desert island (don’t ask how you would play them) you could happily watch over and over again. For some people this will be their favourite movies for others it will be subtly different.
The blog doesn’t have to follow any particular format; it can just be a list with no explanation, a review of the movies, an explanation of why you chose them, or anything else you want to do. If you are part of a blog with more than one contributor, you can all select your own list or you can work together on a collective one, the choice is yours. I have sent out a handful of invites, a few people have expressed an interest and the following have confirmed they are onboard:
101 Goals in 1001 Days
Cut the Crap Movie Reviews
The Dark of the Matinee
Fandango Groovers Movie Blog
Film Forager
Flixchatter
Lets Go To The Movies
The List
M. Carter at The Movies
the mOvie blog
Movie Mobsters
Ross v Ross
Anyone else who is interested in taking part or if you have already responded and I have missed you off the list above (sorry) let me know by leaving a message below. Non-bloggers are also welcome.
All blogs will be posted on the same day next month (April 11th).
For more information, see this post or email Fandango Groovers at hart.andy@gmail.com.
Got a Press Release, something to Plug, or a Screener available for review (or some combination of the three)? Ok, well don't get all crazy about it. Just click here and give me the details - I'll handle the rest.
