Chain blogging. Isn’t it amazing how the chain letter has evolved? From the chain letter, to the chain email, and now to the next precipice of chain correspondence – The Chain Blog, hitherto known as the Meme.

Fellow blogger and cinematic connoisseur Jim Carter AKA The Movie Whore recently tagged me with the Alphabet Meme that began back at Blog Cabins.
The rules are simple:

1. Pick one film to represent each letter of the alphabet.

2. The letter “A” and the word “The” do not count as the beginning of a film’s title, unless the film is simply titled A or The, and I don’t know of any films with those titles.

3. Return of the Jedi belongs under “R,” not “S” as in Star Wars Episode IV: Return of the Jedi. This rule applies to all films in the original Star Wars trilogy; all that followed start with “S.” Similarly, Raiders of the Lost Ark belongs under “R,” not “I” as in Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark. Conversely, all films in the LOTR series belong under “L” and all films in the Chronicles of Narnia series belong under “C,” as that’s what those filmmakers called their films from the start. In other words, movies are stuck with the titles their owners gave them at the time of their theatrical release. Use your better judgement to apply the above rule to any series/films not mentioned.

4. Films that start with a number are filed under the first letter of their number’s word. 12 Monkeys would be filed under “T.”

5. Link back to Blog Cabins in your post so that I can eventually type “alphabet meme” into Google and come up #1, then make a post where I declare that I am the King of Google.

6. If you’re selected, you have to then select 5 more people.

Now it is time to play Pin the Meme on the Blogger. In addition to some blogs I was already familiar with, I recently discovered some interesting sites via the Facebook Blog Networks Application. I have met some very interesting cats this way and I highly recommend each of their blogs.
