Announcing the Five Senses blogathon

The Five Senses blogathon

it has been a while since I hosted my last blogathon (the 6 Degrees of Separation blogathon), so time to get a new one going and I’m already looking forward to reading what everyone will come up with for this one.

In association with Dutch moviepodcasters MovieInsiders (who inspired this blogathon) and Karamel Kinema, who did the stunning logo, I want to present The Five Senses blogathon.

The idea

As you know the body has five senses (although some movies might suggest there is a sixth one): Sight, Sound, Taste, Smell and Touch.
So what’s the idea behind this blogathon? For each of these senses you will have to describe the movie related association you have with it. This can be a particular movie or even a scene, but also something having to do with the movie going experience (so for example the smell of popcorn in the theater).

What do you have to do?

– Write your entry to The Five Senses blogathon, where you describe the association you have for each of the senses
– Include the above blogathon logo in your post
– Add a link to this blogathon announcement so others can participate as well
– Leave a link to your entry in the comments so people can easily find your entry

The Ten: Most iconic movie characters

The Ten Most Iconic Movie Characters Relay Race

It has been a while since the last relay race (which was movie jail one), so time to kick off a new one. Through the movies we see a lot of stories, which come to life through its characters. A lot of these have become iconic. Some because we can really identify with, others because they are menacing and they represent fears within us.

For those unaware of the relay races I have done in the past, the rules are simple: A list of 10 iconic movie characters has been made. That list will be assigned to another blogger who can then change it by removing one character (describing why they think it should not be on the list) and replace it with another one (also with motivation) and hand over the baton to another blogger. Once assigned that blogger will have to put his/her post up within a week. If this is not the case the blogger who assigned it has to reassign it to another blogger. After you have posted your update leave the link in the comments here and I will make sure it gets added to the overview post. Now let’s get to the list! Continue reading

Breaking Emotions blogathon: Fear

Mettel Ray has started her Breaking Emotions blogathon and I am happy to join in on the fun. The idea behind this blogathon is that you get two emotions and give examples of them. This time those emotions are fear and awkward. Awkward did not give me any ideas, so I decided to do five about fear. Since I do not watch a lot of horror movies I really had to dig deep in order to complete the list. Please note that the examples contain possible spoilers for the movies. Continue reading
