I’ve watched half of the eight films you fine folks sentenced me with for the King of Pain blog-a-thon…and lemme tell ya crew, so far this has indeed been every bit as painful as I imagined it would.

Just a reminder though, that I’m hoping my fellow bloggers who read this site will join in on the fun.

Two weeks from now, join me in taking one for the team and broadening your horizons. Go to the collections of those you care about…your husbands, your wives, your parents, your boyfriends, your girlfriends, your best friends, your co-workers…find that one title that you can’t believe they own. Sit down, get comfy, and watch it in all its glory.

What you choose to say about it is up to you! You could turn it into a Q&A with your cohort about what they like about the film, you could post a full-on review, you could write a reaction piece on where your mind wanders to as you watch the film, or you could just use it as an excuse to write a “wtf?” brow-beating of a film that has just stolen two hours of your life.

There is one rule to your participation: No pulling the chute! You must endure the entire film in all its terrible glory. You might want to reach for that remote after twenty or thirty minutes, but that isn’t allowed within the framework of this social experiment.

The Blog-a-Thon will begin on Monday June 20th…and the post featuring everyone else’s entries will make for the closing ceremonies on June 28th.

I’m hoping participants can post their entries on the weekend of June 25th & 26th. Once you have your post up, email me the link – madhatter(dot)21(at)hotmail(dot)com – and I’ll be sure to include it in that festival of crap on the 28th.

So get to it folks! Start searching through other people’s dvd collection and bring on the pain.
