100th Post Celebration!
I’m not sure it ever occurred to me that this might happen, but after 16 months of more than 220 movies, including 18 great theatrical and DVD releases, 32 good ones, 9 bad ones, over 30 feature articles, 2 essays, 2 movie marathons, and 1 accidentally deleted post, you are now reading the 100th post of The Gibson Review.
Yet, I know this weekly blog, which averages eight posts a month, is not exactly prolific and but a blip on the movie-related blogosphere. Still, I want to thank you readers – new and returning - from across the United States and throughout the rest of the world in such countries as Brazil, Slovakia, Canada, Germany, and England, who have somehow found this site on Google and continued to read what this opinionated windbag has to say each week.
This site went from nothing but bland text to actually resembling something like a real website with posters and trailers. I’d like to thank Michelle Leippe for her invaluable technical assistance. Without her support, I’d still feel the way I felt when I first started this site, like a monkey trying to read Latin. You may have already noticed a few tweaks here and there recently. Keep a look out for more changes to come down the line.
To celebrate this major milestone of a tiny movie site, I want to announce the launch of a Facebook fan page. Now, instead of adding my personal site to your friends list and getting random remarks about how what I ate isn’t agreeing with me, you can just ‘like’ The Gibson Review on Facebook and visit a separate page for the site. There you’ll find site updates, poll announcements and results, daily movie trivia, movie news, and all the movie chatter you can stand from me and other like-minded individuals.
But that’s not all!
I have something special as a way of giving back to you, devoted readers, on this special occasion: a contest for the chance to not only be a part of a John Cusack movie marathon but also to win a $100 gift card to any Regal Cinemas near you!
Here’s the deal:
- Below you will find a John Cusack trivia question.
- Be one of the first ten (10) readers to email the correct answer to thegibsonreview@gmail.com and you will win a spot to the John Cusack Movie Marathon to be held on Saturday, June 18th, 2011.
Wait, there's more!
- Not only will the very first email with the correct answer be included in the John Cusack Movie Marathon, but that person will also win a $100 gift card to any Regal Cinemas!
- Emails must be sent by Tuesday, June 7th, 2011 at 11:59pm.
- Only answers emailed to thegibsonreview@gmail.com will be accepted. Any answers posted on Facebook will be deleted and ignored.
- Those who enter will be notified via email the following Wednesday evening of their winnings.
Ready? Here’s the trivia question:
John Cusack has starred in films of every genre. For which two animated films did he provide his voice?
Remember: email your answer to thegibsonreview@gmail.com by 11:59pm on Tuesday, June 7th, 2011. The first ten (10) correct answers will win. Thanks again for your continued readership.
