Ladies
and gentlemen, the time is here. A time
to love, a time to die, a time…to blog.
Yes,
the third annual Film Preservation Blogathon is nigh: official kick-off time is
Sunday, May 13, 10:00 a.m. (US East Coast Time) and ends on Friday, May 18,
10:00 p.m. (USECT) (give or take a few hours), so if you haven’t composed your
sterling masterpieces of scholarly, critical, and appreciative exegesis, get
motivated. This year, the three participating blogs are all sharing host duties
on a rotating roster: Marilyn at Ferdy on Films will be your fearless
leader Today and Monday; Farran at Self-Styled Siren
will be your goddess of choice on Tuesday
and Wednesday, and I will be the stern and ruthless
taskmaster for all the slackers on Thursday
and Friday. So let the thought of my
whip cracking against your buttocks as you labor in the dazzling, life-sucking
sun to complete this cruel potentate’s monument to cinematic restoration spur
you to finish and post your pieces more quickly!
And for donors, remember that pharaoh's might is great and his generosity even greater: 10 of you, to make up for your lighter pockets, will walk away the richer with a NFPF Treasures 5: The West box set, featuring the two short films, The Sergeant and The Better Man, the restoration of which the first For The Love of Film blogathon helped fund. Those two shorts came from the same amazing New Zealand trove of short films in which this blogathon's annointed project, Graham Cutts' The White Shadow, was also found.

I positively LOVE that taskmaster intro Rod! I'll be back tonight at midnight, the time I plan to post my own entry at Wonders in the Dark!
Best of luck to you on the final days of this incomparable venture!
Be here or be...err, what rhymes with here? Be here or be...blear? Steer? Jeer?
Ha Rod!
I'm back as promised with my own contribution:

Technically, this posted on Wednesday, but it looks like Farran has closed up shop. Anyway, my latest contribution: http://krelllabs.blogspot.com/2012/05/hitchcock-on-rocks.html
Greetings, noble host.
For Thursday, the ads for Suspicion, Rope and Psycho are up at the Morgue, and you can see them all en masse here:

And I've got another piece on the trailer for Psycho and the horrors of Bosco's Milk Amplifier at the Brewery.

Hello! So I decided to post my Sinamatic Salve-ation contribution on the page for the Student Chapter of archivists that I head up. So this entry is a co-entry from the AMIA Student Chapter at UCLA and Sinamatic Salve-ation (I posted a link on both pgs)... http://amiastudentchapteratucla.blogspot.com/2012/05/pleasethink-of-children-role-of.html
