Well, what can I say?
It’s been a crazy week.
With The Cinementals
being vaporized like Alderaan (little joke for the movie nerds out there) and
the fallout from The Great Twitter Skirmish of 2012, the positive effect for Thrilling Days of Yesteryear is that I’ll
have a little free time to take care of bidness not only here but at my gig at
the Radio Spirits blog as well. (I’ve
been good at keeping up with Mayberry Mondays and Serial
Saturdays…but Overlooked Films on Tuesday has
definitely taken on some damage.) In
fact, this Thursday TDOY will be
contributing an essay to The Movie
Projector’s William Wyler Blogathon, which started today and will be the
focus at that fine blog until June 29.
Angela at The
Hollywood Revue has also got a blogathon going in the old classic movie
crockpot: come September 27th, she will be inviting all interested bloggers to
participate in The Paramount Centennial Blogathon, in honor of the 100th
anniversary of the studio. I’ll let her
explain what it’s all about (Alfie).
I’ll be looking for reviews of
movies made at Paramount , articles about the studio’s history, articles about stars
famous for working at Paramount , anything you can think of as long as it relates to
Paramount Studios. Even though this is a
classic film blog, articles about movies from any decade of the studio’s
history are very welcome.
If you don’t know what you want to
write about yet, don’t worry about it, you don’t have to sign up for a
topic. If you’re interested in
participating, just either leave a comment or send me an e-mail at HollywoodRevue
AT gmail DOT com. If you have any
questions, please let me know.
I told Angela on Twitter (and made it official in the
comments section of her announcement post) that I was definitely in for this
one…still trying to narrow down my topic but with so many classic film comedies
produced there it shouldn’t be too hard to tie one down.
Well, it’s a shortened checklist because I’m working on both
an outside-the-blog project and the latest edition of Mayberry Mondays. But I did want to close by revealing that I
have finally learned how to spell Cliff Aliperti’s name correctly. Have a great week, and the Milk Duds are on
me.

Man! Thanks for keeping us that reside in a cave informed Ivan!
Hope you're having a fantastic weekend.
For the record I have always been able to spell Cliff's last name correctly. Now if only I could get proper grammar and punctuation down on my blog.

Until I saw that Twitter convo after the fact, I didn't realize I also had been spelling it incorrectly. Not sure how you spelled Cliff's name, but I spelled it "Alpierti." Sorry, Cliff.
I'm proud to say that I have always spelled Cliff's name correctly. However, it has taken me days to realize that The Cinementals is gone. What the heck happened? That is really sad.
