Daily Mish Mash

It’s almost that time again.  Are you ready for some Movie Madness fun?  This month’s carnival will be held this Tuesday, July 1st.  So, get working on your movie related posts. You may do a review of a movie you saw recently, but if you really haven’t seen anything lately worth writing about you may do a review of one of your all-time favorite movies.  Or you may simply make a list of movies that you love in a certain genre.   There are no rules, as long as your post is related to the theme of movies. If you are still unsure of how to play along, head on over to last month’s Movie Madness page.

Now on to the important news–the snacks!  How can we have Movie Madness without the snacks.  Here is this month’s giveaway:

It was generously donated by The Obsession Box Company.  They have over 500 quality gifts to choose from for any age and occasion.

This Movie Madness gift basket includes:

One $5.00 Blockbuster Gift card, 5 bags of microwavable popcorn, and  4 large 8-9oz boxes of Theater candy. Everything you need for a fun Movie Night! All the items are packed in a large popcorn bucket and wrapped with ribbon! A gift the whole family can enjoy!

I’m going to give you the opportunity to enter this contest four times.  Each time you leave one of the following comments your name will be entered to win:

1.  Leave me a comment letting me know your favorite type of movie candy.

2.  Take a look at The Obsession Box Company’s website and leave me another comment letting me know your favorite gift item.  (Leave the comment on this post, but make it separate from any others so it will be counted again.)

3.  Write a little blurb about the Movie Madness Carnival and giveaway on your blog and leave me another comment (on this post) letting me know that you did this. 

4.  Participate in Movie Madness on July 1st.  All comments from participants in the MMC will be entered. 

So, the more times you comment, the more times you win.  Can you tell how much I love comments?  The maximum amount of entries you may receive is four.  I tried to give opportunities for those of you who don’t have blogs to be able to play along.  The contest will be open until Thursday, July 3rd at 12pm (noon) EST and is you must be a resident of the US and Canadian to enter.

Good luck and I’ll see you back here on Tuesday for Movie Madness!

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.
