Thirty-one Days Until the Distraction Blogathon

One month to go until the Distraction Blogathon, people. One month until we talk about the twists, turns, dead ends, rabbit holes, and all the other things that grip us when we see a good movie. Thanks heaps to everyone who's signed up so far! I'm so glad to see all the enthusiasm for this …

Announcing the Distraction Blogathon!

MacGuffins. Red herrings. Dangling carrots. Bait-and-switch. Whatever. We all know how movies mess with our heads. And these distractions come in all shapes and sizes. We think Dorothy's ticket home is meeting the Wizard in the Emerald City until Professor Marvel accidentally leaves her behind. We might watch the Pink Panther movies thinking that somewhere …

Broadway Bound 2021: Afterparty

We have come to the end of the blogathon, people. Hope everyone's had a great weekend! It seems cheesy to say, but I know I have. I've read some of your entries and I'm looking forward to working my way through the rest. Speaking of which, the party is still going on, so if anyone …

The Fourth Broadway Bound Blogathon Has Arrived

It's here, y'all! We're back on Broadway. Let's raise this roof! Oh, wait, we're also on the red carpet this year. Guess any roof-raising will have to be sedate. Wouldn't want to see all that borrowed bling go flying into the stratosphere, ya know? 😉 All right, without further ado, let's talk about some Tony …

One Week Until the Fourth Broadway Bound Blogathon

(Yes, that's Christopher Plummer, rest his soul.) Seven days, now, friends. Seven days until the curtain rises, those coveted shiny statuettes get one last polish, and we go back to Broadway. Who else is getting excited? I know I am--I think we're going to have another fun event this year. Our Broadway has a mighty …

My Favorite Movies By Decade

Rick's annual National Classic Movie Day 'dos have been part of things on Taking Up Room from the get-go, and every year we film bloggers always wait with bated breath to see what angle we'll be working. Whatever it is, we all know it's going to agitate the brain cells nicely because it often involves …

One Month Until the Fourth Broadway Bound Blogathon

Broadway calls, people. Thirty-one days and counting. We're off book, our shows are blocked, and things are coming together. In one month the curtain will rise and the show will begin. And this year we've got an awards show to get to, so we'll also need to get dressed to the nines. Tie those bow …

Announcing the Fourth Broadway Bound Blogathon

Who's up for a trip to Broadway? It's hard to believe that this is our fourth jaunt to the Great White Way, but here we are. In the past this blogathon has always focused on four main categories: Movies made from Broadway shows, Movies about Broadway, Actors, writers, composers, etc. who have worked in both …

The Third So Bad It’s Good Blogathon Has Arrived

We're here, friends. It is time. Are you ready? Me, I'm just glad Conference Week is almost over. Muh brain feels a wee bit fried. Anyway, you all know the drill, but I'll reiterate it: Please send me your posts throughout the weekend and I'll add them as soon as I can for your reading pleasure. I …

One Week Until the Third So Bad It’s Good Blogathon

We're almost there, folks. Seven days and counting until we flinch at the hilariously hideous, the ludicrously laughable, the cringingly crazy. The Razzies have nada on the So Bad It's Good Blogathon. Well, they have those shiny statuettes, but we have...passion. Yeah, that's it. We have scads of passion. 🙂 In my case, there's also …
