MOVIE-BLOGGER - HAVE YOUR SAY ON MOVIES

Now being a part of a community is always a good thing in my book. You can swap stories. You can make eachother laugh. Plus most importantly of them all, you can get drunk and have a bloody good time. Honestly. Just ask my great pal, Graham, if you don't believe me. We spoke about this matter only the other day, whilst getting pissed and moaning about the Joel Schumacher film, 'Batman and Robin'.





1) What are your own origins, Graham? Plus what path did you take in life to get to where you are today?   I'm a 28 year old movie-nerd from the city of Sunderland, which is situated in the North-Easterly part of England. I got where I am today by having way too much free time on my hands, which I normally spend drinking Brahma and watching movies.

You could even maybe say I am slightly obsessed.

2) What inspired you to create the ‘Movie-Blogger’ community website?   It was a number of things that inspired me really. I have always been a big movie fan, so I have spent a lot of my time over the years reading movie review blogs and sites. There's always been a huge movie review community, but I wanted a place where everyone could meet and share their work with each other to help promote what they do. Also, by doing this, we would be able to expose the hard work movie reviewers do to a much wider audience, and help our fellow movie reviewers get to know one another and help each other out.

Plus, the most important thing -- talk about movies!

3) Has your site had any recognition in the media or the press?   We have recently finished speaking with a local entertainment magazine called 'Street Northeast', where we have been talking about the site and how we got started out. We have also been mentioned in a 1980's inspired movie podcast called Hockey Masks, High Schools, and Popcorn, and are working with them with some really exciting stuff coming up in the future, so hopefully we have some great times ahead.

4) What smell would you say best represent your site, and why would this be the case?   It would definitely by the smell of an ice-clod bottle of Brahma. Mainly because I spent most of my time drinking the stuff while I was developing and building the site.

5) If ‘MB’ was a a piece of music, what would it be and why?   Hey dude, this is too hard! It would have to be something by John Williams. Perhaps he would be kind enough to make us our own soundtrack? Hey John, are you out there? What do you say? How about a great theme for Movie-Blogger.com?

6) If you could get any celebrity – either living or dead – to promote your site, who would you get, and why would you want to choose this particular person?   Arnold Schwarzenegger. I would definitely want him to do a political campaign 'Come to California' style TV advert about the site. I think it would look awesome. Come to think of it, he could be clicking the “Log Out” button while saying “I'll be back”. Hmmm? I could be onto something here. I might give him a tweet and see what he thinks?

7) Off the top of your head, can you name your top five favorite movies of all time?   Ouch! This is a tough one! As like most people, they change on a daily basis. But I will give it a go. Enter The Dragon - Mad Max 2 - The Matrix - Back to the Future - Terminator 2.

8) Same question as above, but your top five worst movies of all time.   This is much harder, lets have a go. Batman and Robin - Red Sonja - Epic Movie - Nacho Libre - Highlnder 2.

9) If your site had a motto, what would it be?    We do have a motto - “Have YOUR say on MOVIES!”.

Oh, bugger. I must have missed reading that when I joined. Well, just make sure you don't make the same mistake I did when you join, dear reader! So what are you waiting for? Check out Movie Blogger today. Plus don't forget the tweet-tweet or the face-face thing too. Go on. A little click will do you good.
