First of all, thanks for all the great feedback on the interview folks. I caught a pretty lucky bounce in landing it, thanks in no small part to some pretty awesome people over at TIFF who don’t forget smaller fries like myself. Took quite a bit of work to prep it and get it ‘just so’…very proud that it worked out.

It’s been a great few weeks for me movie-wise, and within this little community of ours. Beyond hanging out with one half of MaMo last week, I made a long overdue return to the LAMBcast last weekend, have a potential double-feature to look forward to tomorrow, and Toronto Movie Blogger pub night this coming Tuesday.

Sometime in amongst all this geekery, I’m still managing to get Christmas shopping done, wrap the occasional gift (not my favorite part of Christmas), and buy festive touches for Casa del Hatter like that pretty plant pictured above. Indeed, everything’s coming up Hatter lately. But enough about me, let’s get to the Friday tradition of spreading the love, shall we?

For your reading fulfillment, I give you…

TIFF recently hosted a Tim Burton marathon. While I thought about going for a few minutes, I eventually listened to reason. Sasha the Final Girl did try to brave it, and has posted about seven of the Burton screenings so far!

Anomolous Materials was kind enough to plug my Trumbull interview, so it’s only fair that I return the favour. Castor went open mic yesterday, encouraging theatre-goers to cleanse their aura and discuss their worst movie-going experiences.

The movie on tap for me this weekend is THE KING’S SPEECH (with Mr and Mrs Cheshire in tow!). Looks like Aiden has already seen it, and thought it was pretty swell.

Did you know that Rachel Thuro likes the small ones? (Me neither)

Seems like many of you are coming up with games lately (must…resist…the urge…). Sebastian has a fun one going one where he invites readers to come up with clever captions for a still frame. Play along, won’t you?

Fandango has come up with quite a fun way of summing up the cast of a given film – hinge it back to the actors’ past roles.

Enjoy!
