NEWS… Is It So Long and Farewell to the Mismatched Couples Blogathon?

#AllPosts

 

It’s the not final day with those film and TV matches made in hell, or mismatched in heaven…

 

Join Barry and me for the final day, and those delightful bloggers.

 

When Harry Met Sally

 

It may still be Day 2 for Cinematic Catharsis and Barry’s time zone, but it’s the final day on Realweegiemidget Reviews for the Mismatched Blogathon. Yesterday and the wee small hours (in Finland) brought four more bloggers to this blogathon… and some more great mismatched pairings.

And firstly a bit of housekeeping which applies to all my joint blogathons…  those who still have to submit I must stress, do remember to send your posts to both Barry and me for maximum promotion. When I sign off, I approve my comments the next day, add you to my next day’s post, and then send Barry your post (in the off chance case you haven’t). Usually, once my post is published at night, I don’t add more to that day – unless it’s the final recap – so that you can be promoted in my posts on publication.

Also please send your links to me and Barry when you publish as I’ve found a few stray posts which haven’t been sent to either of us and would have been counted as no shows had I not seen them.

Speaking of Barry, I’d like to thank my always fabulously fab blogging partner for his excellent topic choice and always sterling participation in the blogathon from inception to its execution. This topic of mismatched couples seems to be a popular one,  and that bloggers have loved writing about, just judging from those enthusiastic posts and feedback. I’ve passed on all the compliments to Barry as he instigated this idea originally. I’d like to also thank Barry for his wonderful recaps and his sterling support and friendship, in those emails we’ve shared in the last few days.

I’d also like to thank all of you who have added posts so far. I hope to catch up with commenting and reading those posts with some from Day 2 and all from today onwards in the next few days. And now to today’s reviews…
