Thanks for an excellent first day. I’ve only read a portion and am in terrific company. I’ll read the rest throughout the day.
Thanks, Aaron! There are so many great movies being discussed, some of which I’d never even heard of before! My must-see list is growing by leaps and bounds!

Got it — thanks, Michaela!
I believe you have earned the crown as Queen of Blogathon Public Relations! What a wonderful way to highlight the entries, the bloggers, and also get potential readers to be really interested. I’ve never seen anyone do it this way before, and it’s great — you should get a copyright (or a patent — I never know which should be which – LOL)!
Oh, Becky, don’t I WISH I could take the credit! That goes to my partner-in-crime, Kristina, of Speakeasy, and Ruth, of Silver Screenings. I’ve participated with them in the two annual Villain Blogathons, and the wrap-up posts were a standard that they started. So I will humbly pass the crown to these two awesome bloggers! 🙂
OK, gotcha! Well … well … you’re awesome anyway!
Becky, that just made my whole day. 🙂

Got it — thanks, Jenni!
Thanks for having this page! We are a boutique production team passionate about Film Noir, Comedy and Neo Noir. We have created our first, which will be an episodic series of short film featuring our character/heroine, Vivian Lang. I hope you enjoy.
Thank you for sharing your film — I enjoyed it!
I will second that Kristina, Ruth, and yes, you too Karen, deserve to be Queen of Blogathon Public Relations! This was a fun, small one, and the Villain and Beach Parties were a blast. I look forward to ‘partying’ with you all for a long time to come.
Thanks so much, Aaron — and we look forward to having you at the parties for a long time to come! 🙂
Thanks for getting the link to my post for me. Turn out I was able to access some internet today after all!
It was a pleasure! Thanks so much for participating, Phyl! 🙂
