Watch-A-Thon: for those of you playing along at home...

First of all, *THANKS* to my newest enablers sponsors, Rachel and Keri, for their support!

And now, while I've got your attention, I'd like to use this space to do some half-@ssed paying-it-forward for some friends and supporters.

Miss Keri has begun training for this year's Breast Cancer 3-Day walk in Boston, a 60 mile walk and fundraiser for the Susan G. Koven Breast Cancer Foundation. Please support her fundraising journey—for more info, visit her donation page, and from there, her blog, for more details.

And a few states away, over in America's Heartland, Miss Camstar is doing some wonderful work with Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Lawrence, Kansas. If you can pledge your support to her labor of love, they are currently in their annual fundraising mode. Check out her donation page to see how you can help!

Okay, here's what you've been waiting for. One week into the Watch-A-Thon and I've screened the following films so far...

1. January 13. CHILDREN OF MEN. Kendall Square.
   
   
2. January 13. RED DOORS. Brattle Theater.
   
   
3. January 14. PAN'S LABYRINTH. AMC Harvard Square.
   
   
4. January 15. LINDA LINDA LINDA. Brattle Theater.
   
   
5. January 17. THE ANIMATION SHOW 3. Somerville Theater.
   
   
6. January 18. THE ANIMATION SHOW 3. Somerville Theater.
   
   
7. January 18. LINDA LINDA LINDA. Brattle Theater.
   
   
8. January 19. THE CASE OF THE GRINNING CAT. Brattle Theater.
   
   
9. January 19. ROBOTECH: THE SHADOW CHRONICLES. Brattle Theater.

Thanks again to everyone who's supporting my movie madness. Please spread the word of my Watch-A-Thon illness to anyone you think might be up for contributing to it and the movie goodness that is the Brattle!

Also, if you think you might like to join the effort, check out the Watch-A-Thon info and consider becoming a fellow Watcher. Even if you don't raise a single dollar, you'll get to see as many Brattle films as you like thru February 18 for just one $50 donation (aka the registration fee)! Not a bad deal. Especially when you realize that in that time the Brattle will be running "Robert Altman's 70s," "Great Romances," the Schlock-Around-The-Clock movie marathon, and the 12th Annual Bugs Bunny Film Festival! Not a bad deal at all.

Keep on keepin on~

* A supercool LINDA LINDA LINDA tidbit I neglected to mention in my earlier posts—the soundtrack/non-band performance music to the film is composed by James Iha of Smashing Pumpkins! It's frickin lovely, too. =)
