Everybody's Talkin' 9 - 3 (Chatter From Other Bloggers)

Funny thing about having an alias; the gifts people give you start to have a theme after a while. Not that I'm not appreciative or anything, I just think if I start collecting anything else, I'll collect myself right into a divorce.

Still, ya gotta admit - that plush Hatter's pretty cute, isn't he? (Thanks Danger!).

There seems to be a lot going on out in the blogosphere these days, and likewise in the lives of my fellow bloggers. People are starting new jobs, going back to school, moving, getting married...there's something about autumn that always seems to bring about changes.

Back inside the world of our common interest, we are finally coming up on the time of year to savour the good stuff. After a truly dreadful summer (God bless art house theatres!), it looks like we've finally passed through the darkness and returned to the light. Depending on who you are, the light could be SKYLINE or the light could be TREE OF LIFE. Well whatever lights up your moviegoin' life, prepare to bask in it. Speaking of basking, let's see what everybody's talkin' about.

For your reading fulfillment, I give you...

Univarn quite rightly points out that we can't call "Scandal!" if we're not in the know.

That movie mem I posted yesterday? Looks like Aiden liked the idea of putting it all into one post as well.

Ruth at Flixchatter is taking stock of the year so far - note that I didn't want to tip my hand just yet.

Speaking of taking stock, Daniel at getafilm just passed three years of blogging (small world!) and has taken a moment to detail what he has learned in all that time of blogging.

Simon has started digging into the films of Kubrick with a post about FULL METAL JACKET.

Peter at The Magic Lantern is thinking about school getting back in, and with that he's taken to listing his Top Five Teacher Movies (Psst...I have an affinity for number three).

Remember back before Mel Gibson was crazy? The Movie Mobsters do.

Find yourself thinking that podcasts are lacking a visual component? Nick at The Doorknob has just the thing.

As visions of MIRAL dance in my head, The Cinema fanatic has created an entire post dedicated to auteur extraordinaire, Julian Schnabel.

Meanwhile, everyones favorite drunken podcaster Kai has rallied the troops to suggest some films you didn't know you needed to see.

Enjoy!
