BIG ANNOUNCEMENT REVEALED!
It's the "MY BEST POST" BLOG-A-THON!
Here's the lowdown on this event of the season. I want your best posts. The ones that make you the most proud. It's time to show off your skills, people. Everyone should participate because here's the best part: you've already written your entry!
You've got three weeks to make your choice. If you think you can write a post better than your fans have ever seen before then get to work! On May 21st, it's time to show the goods! E-mail your links to: heshotcyrus@hotmail.com or leave a comment here.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I'll be e-mailing certain bloggers whose work I really admire and asking them to participate. If, for some reason, I forget to ask you...don't worry, I love your blog too and you should feel almost obligated to show off your analytical and literary skills.
Also, a million thanks to my good friend Laura for making this kick-ass graphic!
PLEASE PASS THE GRAPHIC AROUND.
LET EVERYONE KNOW ABOUT THE EVENT.

Thank you for telling me :) I'm in
Yeah dude! Time to dust off the classics...
I really love this idea! I'll be sure to pore over my archives to find the very best post I've done. Thanks for inviting me!
You're welcome! Sorry it took me so long to get it to you. Since my laptop doesn't get internet, I barely turn it on anymore. I love the updated fonts!
I think this fits the criteria:

and I feel quite strongly about this matter.
I emailed you my post! Sounds like it's going to be great.
I have to admit: I was always really happy with this one:

Hi there! You've probably never heard of my itty-bitty blog, but may I participate? This is really a great idea for a blog event. Thanks!
This is a GREAT idea and I certainly want in!
A wonderful idea.
Here is my choice:

Mike,
The link doesn't seem to lead anywhere.
I just emailed mine...it's post about the importance of lettuce and the cleaning effects it has on your colon. Should make for a great read.
Thanks for the invite. Here are two personal favorites re the work of Orson Welles, the first re TOUCH OF EVIL:

Thanks for having me on board with this, very cool idea and the easiest meme I've been a part of yet. HUZZAH!
hey boss,
here is my selection

Hey boss!
http://24hourstomidnight.wordpress.com/2010/02/15/the-wolfman-2010/
Here's ours, and for those who love Japanese manga series and films.
'20th Century Boys'.
Ohhh, I've been admittedly pretty lax with the posting lately, but...
Ehh, I'll nominate this one :)

Thanks, for the invite!
I'm not sure which to pick, but here's a fairly recent one you can use :)
http://8th-circuit.com/?q=content/matts-rantbox-marmaduke
I feel like this is my most underrated:
http://marshallandthemovies.com/2010/04/22/morereflectionsonavatar/
I spent a ridiculous amount of time on it and got very little feedback - hopefully this can get it some!
Love this idea!
I dunno if I'm on time, but I'll nominate this entry:
http://personal.amy-wong.com/2010/05/18/afterellen-top-east-asian-suggestions-2010/
I'll blog you once I get some sleep. That post seems to get a word count of 1800 O.O no wonder I'm beat.
Thanks for the invitation. I'll be "offline" for the actual blogathon but I feel proud of a post I just finished that had been wallowing in draft mode for months:
http://getafilm.blogspot.com/2010/05/concerning-next-decade-open-letter-to.html.
Thanks!
Hi EG, hope I'm not too late, I was away all last week and just realize the event is tomorrow!
Here are a couple of picks from my archive:

Thanks!
This is among the best I've ever written:

http://rantocracy.blogspot.com/2006/05/big-lebowski-man-for-his-time-and.html
Sneaking in under the wire...Here's two reviews that I wrote recently for films featured at the Hot Docs Documentary Festival:
Grace, Milly, Lucy...Child Soldiers
A Small Act
A frame-by-frame breakdown of the pivotal mahjong scene in Ang Lee's Lust, Caution:
http://www.againstthehype.com/2010/03/lust-caution-and-mahjong/
Does it have to be a post about movie?
This is the post I chose for you :)
http://bokunosekai.wordpress.com/2008/11/20/beatles-vs-abba/
Hey. Here's my link to the post I think is the best:
http://www.shebloggedbynight.com/2009/04/counting-down-zeroes-house-of-mirth.html
And here's the link to today's post I wrote about the blogathon:
http://www.shebloggedbynight.com/2010/05/my-best-post-blogathon.html
I didn't know which you wanted, so I thought I'd give ya both.
Durn it, I'm probably much too late for this, but I gotta roll the dice and submit anyway:
http://projectorhasbeendrinking.blogspot.com/2010/02/for-love-of-filmfor-rocker.html
Ironically, this was written for another blogathon earlier in the year-what are the chances?
Somehow I missed the 2010 on this post. So, one year later, I submit:
