MONDAY MOVIE MEME

Molly looked around for a weekly meme about movies and did not have any luck. So therefore she decided to start her own! Andy will play along as well - hopefully you will too.

This week's movie topic is all about Chatter...

Last week I mentioned that I was reading Film Club - a memoir about a father teaching his teenager about life through movies. It provided a nice reference list of movies in the back and showed how sharing the film experience can make it more lasting, thought provoking and entertaining. It got me to thinking about all the different platforms I use to talk about movies. Here's how I take the movies beyond the screen. Share on your blog the different ways you keep movie memories alive and link back here at The Bumbles. And don't forget to visit your fellow participants!

Movie Fans on NING - NING is a social networking community housing groups of all interests. I found one dedicated to movies called "A Netflix Community" - which is not affiliated officially with Neftlix in any formal way. It is a very active place with groups covering all movie genres and interest levels. I created and manage the largest group on the site called "What's The Name of That Movie?" I learn about so many awesome and not so awesome movies through that group! C'mon over and join.

IMDB - The Internet Movie Database is pure genius. A comprehensive historical and current listing of movies and actors. Plot summaries. Biographies. Reviews. Answers to nagging questions about who that random character actor was. And forums to rave, complain and question most anything in the movie world.

Netflix - This is where I keep track of what we've seen and what we want to see. We can rate things and share recommendations with friends and family through the Friends feature. Send us an invite if you want to connect there - see our e-mail address on our About page here.

Friday Movie Nights - Andy & I try to watch a movie and eat in each Friday night. We ignore the phone, e-mail and any other outside distractions and just hang out with a movie. Sometimes we love it, sometimes we hate it and sometimes we fall asleep in the middle of it. But it gives us food for thought and great things to discuss - together and later on with others.
