Anyone interested in guest blogging a movie?

Asked by poofandmook (17320points) June 12th, 2010

Some of you know I embarked upon a movie “project” recently, and I started a blog so I could keep track of all the stuff I was watching. Nothing fancy, but I really enjoy doing it.

After a few posts about movies here on Fluther, I can see a lot of you share the same tastes as I do and love movies just as much as me.

So I was wondering if any of you would be interested in guest blogging. Augustlan mentioned she might like to already ;) Basically, you just write something about a movie you liked or hated or anything in between, and I’ll throw it up on the blog with a link back to your blog or email for Fluther profile or whatever you’d like me put up. I try not to post spoilers or too much plot… I try not to do summaries (unless I hate it, and then I don’t care much lol), and I think it would be great to have a new voice sprinkled in here or there!

I make no money off of this blog, and it’s not like it gets a lot of traffic (I have yet to get more than 20 hits on any given day), but it’s something that’s really helped pull me through a hard time and it’s just a lot of fun for me. If you haven’t seen it yet, it’s at http://silvershamrock.wordpress.com.

On a related note, MacBean and I have decided to be Netflix friends… if any of you have Netflix and are interested in being friends, my email is poofandmook@gmail.com :)

I too have Netflix, but have no idea what it means to be Netflix friends (in case this is more obvious to others, don’t beat me up—I just can’t imagine what that is).

@Kayak8: at the bottom of any Netflix page, there are 4 columns of little links, and the last link in the last column is “friends”. You can see what your friends have been watching, how they rated, what’s in their queue, and you can write notes to each other too.

Oooh. There’s a scene going on in my head right now, wherein a tiny me is jumping up and down excitedly, going “Yes! Yes, I will guest blog!” However, a second tiny me is clutching the first tiny me’s sleeve and saying, “Shh! No, stop that, don’t be ridiculous. Your movie reviews stink, and you’re a nervous writer.” First tiny me will probably win out, but second tiny me always puts up a really good fight.

Until they’re done bickering, though, I’m totally going through your blog and commenting with what I thought of the movies I’ve seen.

a lot of the early ones, it had been too long and I forgot a lot of details I may have usually commented about. My reviews suck too… I don’t really do it for anyone else’s benefit though lol

@MacBean: I heart you. You review better than I do, ya freak! lol

@poofandmook I friended you on Netflix (with over 12K in Fluther lurve, I am hoping you are not some raving stalker who lives next door to me) . . .

Hmm…sounds interesting. It would all depend on what movie. PM me and give me some more info.

poofandmook's avatar

@Kayak8: No raving stalkers here. I’m too busy working and watching movies.

I can write about Star Wars?

poofandmook's avatar

you can write about anything you want. Not porn :P

augustlan's avatar

So, it’s not limited to horror movies (that’s usually what we’re discussing!)? And we can pick any movie (as long as it’s not porn)? I’m in. I’ll also friend you on Netflix. :D

poofandmook's avatar

I got word from Netflix tech support that they’re phasing out the Friends feature… so we won’t be Netflix friends for very long :(

No, it doesn’t have to be horror… that’s just my favorite genre. And actually, you can usually tell how bad I’m feeling emotionally by how many horror movies I watch… if I post a nice long string of horror, I’m probably flailing a bit heh

poofandmook's avatar

If you’re still interested, let me know what you want to do and we’ll figure something out!

Is Moon available? I just saw it…

poofandmook's avatar

If I haven’t put it on my blog, you can review it :)

Old movies from Netflix ok or do you need current movies?

poofandmook's avatar

any movies. Nearly all of mine are Netflix, and just today I posted about the 1929 original silent Nosferatu.

Anything not porn.

I have my first post. I’ve decided to make the guest posts my weekend posts, since my weekends are my prime watching time and I try to squeeze in as many films as I can. I don’t write on the weekends usually.

Moar! :D

poofandmook's avatar

@augustlan, @Kayak8, & @MacBean: I have your reviews… I had a really busy weekend and a very intense beginning of the week. I don’t want your posts to get lost with mine and I had a ton of movies to put up, so I didn’t put yours up this past weekend. I didn’t forget about you though :)

So I have three, anybody else? :)

MacBean's avatar

Take your time! I like reading your reviews. I was actually starting to get a little worried by the inactivity. If you hadn’t posted anything by tomorrow, I was going to email you to see if you were okay. ♥

poofandmook's avatar

aw :) lol yeah I hate it when I get so far behind!

poofandmook's avatar
