Movie Madness Carnival

Welcome to the first ever Movie Madness Carnival!

I hope you will join us as we discuss our love of movies. 

To participate, all you need to do is write a movie-related post.  Here are some ideas (but feel free to be as creative as you would like, just as long as you stick to the theme): a movie review, a list of your favorite movies in a genre, a video clip of your favorite movie scene, etc..  

 The post could be something you wrote today or one you may have done recently that you would like to highlight.  Please mention the Movie Madness Carnival in your post and link back this post here at Daily Mish Mash.  Feel free to grab the banner for your site if you’d like.

A little about spoilers…I think it goes without saying that you don’t want to include spoilers in your post.  If you must include them, please give fair warning that you are doing so by putting a bold MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS at the beginning of the post. 

(After many unsuccessful attempts, I was unable to figure out how to post a Mister Linky on my site.  Clearly, this is something that I should have started working on three months ago because I am completely inept when it comes to these things despite the hours that I spent trying to figure it out today.) 

Instead of the Mr. Linky, just leave a comment on this post telling me that you have your post up on your site.  Please also tell me what the subject of your post is (please be more specific than “movies”).   I will then add everyone’s post to this list the list below.  I will be adding the links every couple of hours so don’t fret if yours takes a little bit to show up.  I promise I will try to add everyone as quickly as possible.

Coming Soon

If you are a movie lover like me you will want to mark your calendars for a fun event.  On June 3rd, I’m going to host a Movie Madness Blogging Carnival right here at Daily Mish Mash.  If it is even remotely successful, I will repeat it every month.  I thought about doing it weekly but reconsidered because that seemed like a bit too much.  Of course, that is always a possibility for the future.

To participate, all you need to do is write a post that has something to do with the theme of movies.  It could be:

  • A review of a movie you just recently watched
  • A list of your favorite movies in a certain genre (comedies, romance, horror, etc…)
  • A video clip of your favorite movie scene
  • A movie trivia game

Really anything as long as it is related to movies.  The post could be something you wrote that day or one you may have done recently that you would like to highlight. 

If I can figure it out, I’ll put up a Mr. Linky and you can add your url to the list.  Then go around and visit with other movie lovers.  If you’ve never participated in a blogging carnival, it is a fun way to discover new blogs and make new friends.

**There may even be a door prize for those who participate, so you’ll definitely want to play along.  It should be a lot of fun!  (Or just another excuse to avoid doing actual work, so either way it’s all good.) 

Stay tuned for more details as it gets closer…
