With two weeks to go, we want to get the schedule for everybody's posts in place. So if you're participating in the blogathon, please send me an email and let me know what day you'd like to post your contribution. For the folks who haven't chosen a film, do let me know your choice as well!
To keep things spread out, we want to limit it to about six posts a day. So if more than six people ask to post on any one day, we'll take the first requests we get.
The deadline to reserve a day is Friday, June 29th. After that, we'll assume you're able to post any day, and we'll assign days randomly, and post the final schedule that Saturday.
(If you can't get your post up on the day selected, we won't send Leonard after you; just get it up as close as you can!)
When you post your contribution, please send me an email with the address of the post, so I can update the schedule quick like a bunny!
Feel free to link to the main info page on your blog to let everyone know about the event, and share the news with everybody!
For True Classics: I would like to post on SORRY, WRONG NUMBER on the 10th, and Carrie would like to do her HIGH ANXIETY post on the 12th. Thank you, madam!

Hey, everyone, I just wanted to remind you all that THE BEST HITCHCOCK MOVIES THAT HITCHCOCK NEVER MADE Blogathon has been extended to a full week, July 7th through July 13th!
ReplyDeleteAnd of course, on Saturday, July 7th, don't forget to wish a Happy 84th Birthday to Sir Alfred Hitchcock's talented, winsome daughter Patricia Hitchcock of STAGE FRIGHT, STRANGERS ON A TRAIN, and PSYCHO, among others (even though our Blogathon is a Hitchcockian Blogathon, rather than a Hitchcock Blogathon! :-)!
Is 7/11 still open? If so, I'd like to be penciled-in then for "Hitchcock's Jaws."
ReplyDeleteBTW, my site Ivanlandia is now more visually-oriented, so the review/article will appear at my new blog, LERNER INTERNATIONAL.
Thanks,
Ivan

I'd like to do Wait Until Dark. Preferably towards the end of the run, around the 11th.
ReplyDeleteVertigofalls.blogspot.com
Dan, with your Hitchcockian credentials for our Hitchcockian Blogathon, I'm looking forward to your WAIT UNTIL DARK post! You'd be the second writer blogging about this particular film, but several of us (including me) will be writing our own particular takes on some of these films, so everyone has their own fresh viewpoint on each of the films in question. Here you are:

Alexandra, if you have any questions, please let us know. Welcome to the Blogathon!
Dorian, just found out that ABOVE SUSPICION with Fred MacMurray and Joan Crawford is available for 'rent' from Amazon. So I'll be writing about it after all. I think you've got someone already writing about MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE on your list. Hope this doesn't interfere with your blogathon plans too much. :)
ReplyDeleteYvette, I'm delighted that you were able to gat ahold of ABOVE SUSPICION after all! That puts us back to having just one MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE blog post. Looking forward to it!
DeleteJuly 11th works fine for me, thanks Dorian! Looking forward to checking out all the different posts...that's quite a turnout!
