PLUG: True Classics

Caitlin
October 16th, 2011 / Movies Blogs, Plugs, True Classics: The ABCs of Classic Film

Greetings!

To celebrate our two-year “bloggiversary,” the crew at True Classics is hosting “The Great Citizen Kane Debate.” The question at hand … does venerable critical darling Kane deserve its vaunted reputation as “THE” best American film ever made? Or is its value overstated/inflated by modern critics? And if Kane is not “THE” best film, which one is?

We’re offering some amazing prizes for the three best entries into the debate, so we hope you’ll join in what promises to be a spirited (and respectful!) discussion!

You can find the rules and sign up to participate here: http://trueclassics.wordpress.com/2011/10/14/were-in-anniversary-mode/.

Thanks!

Brandie, Carrie, and Nikki

Got a Press Release, something to Plug, or a Screener available for review (or some combination of the three)? Ok, don’t get all crazy about it. Just click here and give me the details (what, when, where, and a link, for starters) - I’ll handle the rest.

PLUG: True Classics - The ABCs of Film

Hello:

August 6, 2011 marks legendary comedienne Lucille Ball’s 100th birthday, and the bloggin’ crew at True Classics: The ABCs of Classic Film is celebrating by hosting a “Loving Lucy” Blogathon!

Some wonderful bloggers have already signed up to participate, and we welcome you to join us that day as we commemorate Lucy’s memorable life and career. The rules are simple: sometime prior to or on August 6th, post an entry on your blog discussing something Lucy-related. That’s it! As a classic movie blog, we’re obviously looking for a lot of entries discussing Lucy’s many wide-ranging movie roles (she wasn’t called “the queen of the Bs” for nothing!), but you can write about anything that piques your interest—her television shows, her radio career, fashion, aspects of her personal life, her behind-the-scenes role as the first woman to head a major production studio … anything about Lucy that you find particularly fascinating. You can do a photo post, a podcast, an interview—let your imagination (and your ambition!) run wild.

You can find more information and promotional banners here: http://trueclassics.wordpress.com/2011/06/02/blogging-for-lucy/. And if you’re interested in participating, leave a comment or shoot us an email and we’ll add your blog to our growing list of contributors!

Thank you!

Rating: PG

What is the main focus of your site?
This blog is a place for us to delve into all facets of classic movie culture … our opinions, our raves, and our complaints. Every week, we take our readers through the ABC’s of classic film, providing our recommendations and reviews of classic movie fare. We also provide reviews of some of the most recent DVD treatments and special editions that are released as we come across them. We will also occasionally offer reviews of newly-released biographies and documentaries on all things classic film.

What are your blogging goals, personally and/or professionally? In other words, what, if anything, are you trying to get out your blog?
We love classic films and find ourselves constantly talking about, watching, and dissecting the movies we’ve seen each week. We also enjoy “meeting up” (virtually speaking) with other classic film fans. In short, the blog allows us to indulge our mutual obsession, hopefully to the education and the enjoyment (or, at the very least, the mild bemusement) of our readers.

Do you prefer an interactive community for your blog or are you the teacher and your readers the students?
It’s a combination of both. We love comments and discussions that may be generated from our posts, but we recognize that many of the people who stumble upon our blog may not be as … enthusiastic about the topic of classic film as we are.

How long have you been movie blogging for, and how frequent do you post updates to your site?
We started the blog in December 2009 while we were both in graduate school, so posting has been limited to no more than twice/three times a week. Now that we have both finished grad school, posting will become much more regular.

Name up to three of your favorite movies (and no more).
Casablanca, Singin’ in the Rain, Rear Window..

How did you hear about the LAMB?
It has been linked on several of the classic film blogs that we read on a regular basis.

Any additional comments, or give yourself an interview question that’s not listed above.
None.
