The 5 Obstructions blogathon: Thank you!

The 5 Obstructions blogathon

With November now underway, it means that my the 5 Obstructions blogathon, which took 5 months has come to a close. I have to say that I am very happy with the amount of people who have joined. As expected with such a gruelling and challenging blogathon not all participants have me it through all 5 obstructions, but a nice amount did. I want to thank everyone who participated in this blogathon in making this a success. I appreciated you taking on the challenge and sticking with it, it has resulted in a lot of interesting articles and I hope you have picked up some new ideas to make your own blog even better.

I am happy to announce that I am already working on my next blogathon (which will probably kick off either in december or january) together with KaramelKinema.

If you are looking for another blogathon to jump into, you can as Mettel Ray has just announced her blogathon on Friday and it will start tomorrow. You can find details about it here.

If you participated I would like to know what your experiences was like with this blogathon and things which you think might be improved during a next blogathon (so I can make the experience even better)?

For those wanting to check out all the articles which have been written, you can find those after the jump. Continue reading →

Whatever the case, there were a lot of bloggers who did manage to do the obstruction and a lot even earned a golden checkmark. I know you are interested to know what the challenge is for this month, so I won’t keep you waiting any further. Continue reading →

The 5 Obstructions blogathon: Obstruction 3

The 5 Obstructions blogathon

Month two of the 5 Obstructions blogathon is now behind us and it’s good to see many bloggers managed to arrange interviews with people involved with a specific movie. I hope this will motivate you to do more of them in the future after finding out it is possible. Unfortunately there were also a big number of blogs who didn’t put up a post (if I missed it please let me know) so I hope everyone will pick up on the third obstruction. You can find an overview of all current entries here. But you are here to see what you have to do this month. Time to reveal the Obstruction 3. Continue reading →

Small Roles… Big Performances blogathon

Ruth from Flixchatter has started a new blogathon and I felt compelled to join her in this one. The idea of this blogathon in her words is:

to shine a spotlight on the ‘unsung heroes’ if you will, the overlooked performers who add so much richness/entertainment value to the film no matter how brief their appearance is, but yet they don’t get the credit they so deserve

Now I have to admit that I had a hard time coming up with someone and it took me a while before I remembered two performances, one from Olivia Thirlby in 2009’s New York, I Love You and the other one by Billy Crystal in The Princess Bride Continue reading →
