In addition, two lucky commenters this month will receive a review copy of CassaStorm! One comment per day and each is worth one entry except – the first and one hundredth comments on each day will receive ten entries!
Memento
Nolan’s greatest masterpiece. The story is told backwards, which makes you think as every new scene unfolds. You do not leave your brain at the door for this one! Guy Pearce is exceptional as the man with memory issues searching for his wife’s killer. This film is the ultimate mind bend.
Leonard Shelby is focused on his goal. He might forget things, but never his ultimate target. Since every moment is new to him, Leonard possesses a child-like innocence.
Who is Leonard?
Her goal was published author and she never wavered on that path, achieving it this past February. Charity also possesses that innocence, and it comes through in her smile and her Faith. Her passions shine, no matter what she is doing.
Charity is the author of The Magic Wakes and a devoted mother and wife.
To you I dedicate Meant to Live by Switchfoot. (Song title leads to YouTube.)
“We were meant to live for so much more… And everything inside screams for second life…” I will see that second life, Charity!
Trivia and Facts:
Did you know that Leonard’s medical condition is real? It’s called Anterograde Amnesia – the inability to form new memories – and is a result of damage to the hippocampus.
Switchfoot is a term from what sport/activity?
L’s trivia answer - Nancy’s son attends Arizona State University and Rush formed in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

The Best and Worst Remakes Blogfest – May 17
That’s right – another fun and easy movie blogfest! Something simple after the insanity of the Challenge and my last one until the fall.
Hosted by me, Stephen Tremp, Livia Peterson, and Al Diaz.
When Hollywood runs out of ideas, they remake older films. Sometimes this works, and sometimes it fails miserably.
On May 17, list the best remake you’ve ever seen and the worst.
Added bonus – list the worst and/or best song remake you’ve ever heard!
Sign up below!
Fan of Memento? Following the awesome Charity? Know the trivia answer? Eager to get Shannon and Andrew’s books? And ready for one final blogfest until the fall? I KNOW you can think of a really crappy remake…
Hi Alex, Charity sounds like a great blog buddy to have. Love the song you dedicated to her. Another blogfest. Whew! You guys are unstoppable ;)
ReplyDeleteCan't believe it, I am the first one to comment. This must be my lucky day :)
ReplyDeleteI remember watching Memento- it was a very captivating story.
ReplyDeleteYou are incredible!
ReplyDeleteOne more Blogfest. I'm sure the poeple will love it.
From 12th to 26th of May I will be on holiday with my wife and without internett access.
Dare I admit, I have never seen Memento - but now I want to, and Charity sounds like an amazing person. Loving all these introductions.
ReplyDeleteRhonda @Laugh-Quotes.com
I just don't get movie remakes. Why can't they make new stuff instead of messing up something that's already been done well?
ReplyDeleteI've heard of Charity before, she's great. Congrats Shannon and Andrew. Memento is not for those who don't want movies that makes them think, hard. Wonderful movie. It is truly awful when your mind works against you. Another Blogfest? Aw Alex, you spoil us. And keep our blogfest muscles in shape. Signed up immediately of course. *Grins*
ReplyDeleteI agree, Memento is undoubtedly one of the greatest films of recent years.
ReplyDeleteI've got Charity's book on my tbr list and I'm looking froward to reading it, hopefully soon! And congratulations to Shannon and Andrew!
ReplyDeleteIf I can get the post for your bloghop written/scheduled before I go on vacation, then I'm in.
Memento is like da bomb, dude - and here's some trivia back at you: Name the cheesy Australian soap that helped launch Guy Pearce's career?
ReplyDeleteYou found a great new blogfest theme! Maybe I'll join to it.
ReplyDeleteand you can manage another blogfest within a blog challenge. Best of luck to ye. Rather you than me.
ReplyDeleteAnother great Mix and Match it is such a good theme.
ReplyDeleteAlready signed up for the blogfest.
Have a good day.
Yvonne.
I haven't seen Memento, but now I want to! Loved this post.
ReplyDeleteMemento was a great film, but I always wondered what it would be like to watch it forwards instead of backwards. Probably an option on the bluray to do that.

Memento was a captivating movie, and you really couldn't blink for a minute. Charity sounds like someone I would definitely like to meet.
ReplyDeleteJulie
I've never seen Momento, but I want to now! I'll be sure to follow Charity, that's great she met her goal!
ReplyDeleteLove love love love love Memento!! Love!!!
ReplyDeleteA switchfoot sounds ever so naughty! LOL!! Off I go now!!!
p.s. Yay - found Mr Tremp!! Take care

I don't think I've ever been so confused the first time I watched Memento! What a great film!!
ReplyDeleteSoccer and skateboard trick
ReplyDeleteI like stories that go backwards. Just one long flashback. I'll keep my eyes out for Memento. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteDon't be a Hippie
Take 25 to Hollister
I did some research on anterograde amnesia for a book I wrote. I've wanted to see Memento for a long time. Charity is a nice pick, I've got The Magic Wakes on my TBR list.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to have a think about all the remakes out there, but hopefully I'll be able to sign up for the blogfest!
Rachna, you are first!
ReplyDeleteEdi, on holiday sounds a lot more fun.
Rhonda, bring your big brain.
Sheena-Kay, thanks!
Leovi, that's right.
Elise, fair enough.
Mark, can't remember the name, but he was in two series I believe.
Zoltan, please join!
Moody, believe it or not, it is!!
Kitty, wait until you see the answer.
JL, VERY close!!
I don't think I have ever seen Memento!
ReplyDeleteSigned up or the Blogfest! Sounds like fun!
I can think of a few crappy remakes. Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with.
ReplyDeleteI loved Momento. And I love your tribute to Charity Bradford. ;)
ReplyDeleteNever saw Momento. Guess I need to.
ReplyDeleteAlex how did you get to be so awesome? Thank you so much for the song! I think it's perfect!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen Momento, but now I'll have to see if it's on Netflix.
May will be dedicated to moving into a new house. Hopefully this will be the last move for 10-20 years! :) I'll be ready for fall blogfests though.
I remember having to watch Memento twice to fully grasp what happened. What a wonderful film...truly original in every way. I am looking forward to The Best and Worst Remakes Blogfest!
ReplyDeleteNice to meet Charity!
ReplyDeleteI think I posted about that form of amnesia a while ago. There's one that's similar where the person cannot recognize any one's voice. They have to see your face, otherwise, even their significant other's voice is meaningless.
Then there's the "Foreign Language Syndrome" where a person has a head injury, and when they wake up speaking with the ability to speak fluently in another language. So weird.
Memento was such a good movie! Now I want to see it again. :)
ReplyDeleteSince I love movies, I decided to play. Haven't seen Momento.
ReplyDeleteWay to go Charity! I think Switchfoot is a perfect choice for her.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Charity!
ReplyDeleteYay! An easy blogfest, whew!
I need to run Memento when I'm not at work. I think I had trouble following it when my attention was divided, at least if I'm thinking of the right one. Movie remakes, huh? I'm not sure I've seen many. If the first was good, I rebel, if it was bad, I'm afraid to try again...
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen the movie Memento, but enjoyed reading your posting today!
ReplyDeleteMemento certainly sounds interesting but I try to stay away from movies that threaten to hurt my brain or set it on fire...
ReplyDeleteSoccer?
Of course I can think of a few remakes! I want you to know how determined I was to get signed up - having dyslexified my first name no less than THREE times to accomplish it! :) Sheesh!
Cool blogfest! I think I'll sign up. Also, cool that Rush is a Canadian group.
ReplyDeleteI saw Memento for the first time last year, and then asked myself "Why did I take so long to see this?" Definitely a brilliant movie.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm excited to hear Shannon's anthology is finally out!
Nick, hope you can join us.
ReplyDeleteCharity, you're welcome! Selecting your song was the easiest. Hope you don't move again for a very long time.
Jay, that is weird.
Laura, that made me laugh! And sorry, not soccer.
Have there been any good remakes? I'm drawing a complete blank.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the plug!
Memento is an amazing film. Will get my thinking cap on about the worst and best remakes, worst ones should be easy enough. Maybe the best is actually the worst, if you know what I mean.
ReplyDeleteHello Alex -- Thanks for a great post. I need to get out and see Momento. Sounds like a great flick!
ReplyDeleteThe brain is an awesome organ but when it short circuits, it affects its host incredibly.
ReplyDeleteI'll probably pass on your next blogfest. Sorry.
Loved Memento - Guy Pierce was excellent in it. And Charity is a wonderful person :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Charity!
ReplyDeleteSigned up for the blogfest!
Charity definitely deserves the spotlight. She has worked really hard to achieve her goals. Memento is such a trip! I need to watch it again.
ReplyDeleteAll signed up for the blog fest! Can't wait. Already have a pretty good idea of what I'm going to use. Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteMomento is such a crazy movie. I have the DVD version where you can watch it in chronological order. It's interesting.
ReplyDeleteYay for a new blogfest!
Memento definitely holds up! I re-watched it with a friend this year and was struck by how tight and earnest the story is. It also treats cognition more robustly than most amnesia stories.
ReplyDeleteJohn at The Bathroom Monologues
We discussed Memento for hours after seeing.
ReplyDeleteBlogfest sounds fun.
I haven't seen Momento but do appreciate an great Mend Bend. I'll watch it this week.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the Best and Worst Movies Blogfest too!
MOMENTO was one movie you couldn't leave for a bathroom break! I hope THE LONE RANGER this summer doesn't qualify for the worst remake! I want it to be good! (The little boy in me at least!)
ReplyDeleteSwitchfoot is a term from skateboarding, I believe. Yeah, Memento blew my mind. Great movie.
ReplyDeleteI know and follow Charity. Also, read her book. Very well done.
ReplyDeleteSigned up for the remake blogfest. I so enjoyed the last movie one you did, I just couldn't help myself.
Remakes almost always disappoint. Except, maybe, the super hero ones. It's like they need to redo it for the next generation with the new technology. It's ok. And, Hollywood hasn't run out of ideas. They just reject new ones because they're playing it safe. New screen writers may not ever get "in".
ReplyDeletePlay off the Page
Will have to go and visit Charity. Thanks for the recommendation! Thanks also for all the info. Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteMemento is an amazing film. I love films that make you have to work to get the most out of it. I've not met Charity yet.
ReplyDeleteAny blogfest involving movies and I'm most likely in.
ReplyDeleteAs for the bonus, would a soundtrack remake be acceptable?
Congrats to Shannon n' Andrew :D
ReplyDeleteMemento is amazing! Gosh, now I want to watch movies...damn! lol
Off to visit Charity-her book does sound amazing~
Happy Monday-I'm tempted about your blogfest! Maybe it should be National Popcorn Day-then count me in! tee,hee
I liked Memento, but I always figured he could keep better notes. Still, wasn't Carrie-Anne fabulous.
ReplyDeleteBravo, Charity. I like your audacity!
Memento is definitely a movie to watch more than once.
ReplyDeleteI have to think about remakes. That one will be tough but I have a few ideas. :)
ReplyDeleteAndrew, you're welcome. And I can think of a few.
ReplyDeleteTeresa, that's all right.
SL, we do as well, although we haven't watched it backwards yet.
Roland, I hope it's good as well.
Man O Clay - very close!
Mary, you're right about them playing it safe.
Isis, excellent idea!!
Ella, join us.
I've never heard of Anterograde Amnesia before. That has to be one "interesting" affliction. I can't imagine.
ReplyDeleteI'm awash in trivia these days and I don't seem to know the answers to any of it. I'm beginning to wonder what that means. Like, am I 100% out of touch?
Can't take on your great May Hop. I'm on official leave starting May 1. It will be fun, I know.
Charity rocks! And I love that song!!! Great picks as always!
ReplyDeleteI have a story in the Sunday Snaps Collection too! Congrats to Shannon and Andrew!
Trivia: Switchfoot - from snowboarding and maybe skateboarding.
Yay for another blogfest!!!
Memento blew my mind. I need to watch it again.
ReplyDeleteHalfway through the A to Z, Alex!
I'm so IN!!!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen Memento. I remember hearing about it.
I might just have to pick that up.
Charity is very cool.
Happy Monday!
Heather
Ooh not see Memento - sounds good, will check it out.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever watched Memento in order? I've seen a list of scenes in chronological order, and you can go through the DVD and play them in "true time." I haven't done it, but it would be cool.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen Mememto. Must add it to the list!
ReplyDeleteAnother fun blogfest, yea! Great recognition for, Charity. . I loved Memento and what a mind bender. I had no clue that was a real illness, how frightening.
ReplyDeleteWorst song remake: Tell it like it is, by Heart, originally by Aaron Neville.
I haven't seen Memento, but I love that Switchfoot song. And Charity too ;)
ReplyDeleteAnother blogfest? You madman, lol. This one sounds like fun. If I hit my deadline this month, I'll be open to hopping. :D
Momento was a great movie and one that had me guessing up until the end.
ReplyDeleteI'm in for the blog hop, sounds like fun :)
Love that movie. I had to watch it a few times before I really "got it," though. :)
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of this movie, but it sounds like one I'd like. (Kind of like Inception. I like movies that makes one think.) I will have to try and find it.
ReplyDeleteAlso, close on guessing who used the quote from Star Trek. It was actually McCoy to Spock during the episode where they have to fight in the gladiator type battle.
Memento is the ultimate mind-bend Alex. I hear you can actually watch it again and question whether his memories are even real. I can't go there though. Sounds like a great blogfest!
ReplyDeleteThat Switchfoot song is super uplifting.
ReplyDeleteI wanna do a movie blogfest because I plan to blog a lot more on movies in the coming month but I can't think of a single remake I'd wanna profile ... Hmm.
Memento sounds like a movie I should watch. :)
ReplyDeleteA great flick, a wonderful choice for tribute (of course I know & follow Charity,) & an inspiring song! As for my son's college, yes, ASU, but only for 2 more weeks. He's coming home, yay! For today's trivia, hmm, soccer maybe? Congrats Shannon & Andrew! I'm all signed up for the blogfest, but I'll have to give it some thought.
ReplyDeleteOh that's a really good blog fest you got coming up. I'm either going to blog about Total Recall or Conan. Both of those remakes were absolutely terrible.
ReplyDeleteHuzzah for Charity and Andrew!
I thought it was funny when I discovered I had the special collector's edition of Memento. I had no idea I'd bought it, but one of my friends pointed it out to me.
Lee, you just have a good time!
ReplyDeleteTyrean, congratulations! I'm sorry, I didn't know. And you are so close on the trivia...
Rick, it's on my DVD, we just haven't watched it yet.
Meilssa, that one was awful!
Jack, I tried! And you would dig Memento.
Suze, I can suggest a few...
nancy, I know you'll be glad to have him home. And not soccer.
Michael, those two were all right. I've seen much worse.
Okay count me in for May 17th. This seems simple enough.

Memento sounds like a great film. I'm a fan of Charity already for her dedication to be published. She's my hero today!
ReplyDeleteI just signed up for the blogfest. You do know you have created a monster with your blogfests, right? haha I look forward to it.
Thought I'd mosey on over and say hi.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Charity for not giving up! Gotta feel good.
I have to think on the worst/best blogfest a bit. I like easy and fun.
I haven't watched Memento but it sounds great. A new blogfest? How do you have time to even think these things up? It's a good one too ;)
ReplyDeleteBest and Worst remakes blog hop - that will be interesting! I don't know Charity. I'll have to stop by and visit her. She sounds nice.
ReplyDeleteI still have not seen memento.
ReplyDeleteI am just returning from Charity's blog. She is everything you said and more. I am now following. Thank you for highlighting her:)
ReplyDeleteAlso, thank you for the reminder that I really need to watch the movie MEMENTO (again). Gah...
Just told Father Dragon I won't be joining this new blogfest, don't see enough movies I'm afraid, original or remakes. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteJO ON FOOD, MY TRAVELS AND A SCENT OF CHOCOLATE
Oh wow, I didn't know about Shannon's story! How awesome for her. And I've got Charity's book on my list, looks like a great one.
ReplyDeleteMemento. Now I havvvee to watch that movie!
ReplyDeleteMemento was a really neat movie, and that's cool you linked it to Charity. Congrats to Shannon and Andrew too! That's an awesome blogfest. Hmm, now I'm thinking about it already.
ReplyDeleteI never saw Memento but it sounds like I should. And I signed up for the remake blog hop.
ReplyDeleteI'd guess switchfoot refers to soccer.
ReplyDeleteYay, Shannon and Andrew! Sounds like a great bloghop. See if my fingers are still working by then ;)
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be awful not to make new memories?
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog and for being an A to Z sponsor.
Mary Montague Sikes
I may just have to participate in the movie blogfest. My birthday and a list of awesome/bad/awesomely bad movies are a wonderful combination .
ReplyDeleteAnd Memento is on my list but I feel as though I really need the right mood to watch.
Cath from Dramatics and Words
Memento was one of the better postmodern stories, a form so many try to execute but fail miserably.
ReplyDeleteI saw memento but didn't get much. :D
ReplyDeleteSecond try.
Ooo, I totally want a copy! Here's my comment:)
ReplyDeleteI had never even heard of Momento until your movie blogfest. I still haven't seen it, but I will!
ReplyDeleteAnterograde amnesia? Never heard of it before.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure that I qualify for this blogfest! You know me and my movie-challenged brain... LOL
Congrats to Shannon and Andrew!
I'm off to Charity's blog now...
Writer In Transit
Memento has been on my to-watch list for a while because I LOVE mind-bending memory stories (I may have even written one :) but I haven't seen it yet.
ReplyDeleteWill have to think about the bloghop, I feel intimidated by all you movie-buffs. I don't know if can come up with something clever. :)
I love Meant to Live by Switchfoot. I so wish I can belt out those lyrics without croaking--even more, i wish i could rock that guitar!

ReplyDeleteI'm putting Memento on my list to watch! Learning about a lot of movies here.
ReplyDeleteBig fan of Memento. I think I had to watch it in high school. don't remember why or for what class. Maybe Psych?
ReplyDeleteCharity is awesome and her story of success is inspiring. I have been meaning to check out Memento for years, but I've never seen it. maybe tonight! It sounds really cool. Not sure how I've missed it all this time...
ReplyDeleteLee, knew you couldn't resist!
ReplyDeleteJulia, if there are as many participants as the last one, it will feel like a monster!
SK, I planned this one months ago...
Jo, that's all right.
Carrie-Anne, sorry!
Cath, perfect timing then!
Ilima, I bet you can!
Nutschell, I can do both, just not well.
Megan, seems a likely fit.
I love that movie.
ReplyDelete"Meant to Live" is actually the first song I ever played on stage. The other guitarist and myself were alternating those intro guitars.. He nailed his part. I crashed and burned. It's ok though, the audience was forgiving. We were playing at a church. :)
Haven't seen Memento but it sounds riveting. I can't imagine anything worse as a writer--forgetting things and losing our memories!
ReplyDeleteAh Memento is an AWESOME movie now I want to watch it again!
ReplyDeleteFun bloghop! And I'd totally want a copy of Cassa Storm :)
ReplyDeleteGuy Pearce is an actor I enjoy, so "Momento" goes on the T.B.W. list. thanks.
ReplyDeleteI'm embarrassed that I haven't seen Memento. I guess I don't want the brain-pain. The bloghop sounds fun. I'll enjoy visiting; I doubt I've seen enough remakes to participate.
ReplyDeletexoRobyn
memento is brilliant-no doubt about that and Guy Pierce is an excellent actor. I wish he had more roles. I knew about that brain problem. i watched something on PBS about it-it was very interesting....hmmmm now what i was i talking about....:)
ReplyDeleteGo Charity!
ReplyDeleteAnd Memento? Haven't even heard of it... *hides*
But from reading above, if Guy Pearce is involved, ummm... yeah!!!
Momento is one of my all time favs. And we're supposed to be at M? Oh damn.
ReplyDeleteDid not care for Memento, but love Charity and her new book! AWESOME
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday!
Great choice Charity. She comes across as such a genuine, awesome person online. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat pick- again! :) And so good to meet Charity Bradford- will head over and check out her site...I just saw her and her book over at Michael's blog. Cheers :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice song tribute. I'm heading over to meet Charity.
ReplyDeleteDavid, that made me laugh! I'd hope they would be forgiving at a church.
ReplyDeleteRobyn, just need to name two.
Rusty, yeah, we're on M...
Rebecca, yes you did!
I love the big surprise - a movie blogfest! Can't wait to participate and co-host! It's gonna be so awesome with you Alex because you make everything awesome!
ReplyDeleteI've read Charity's blog before, but now I should follow her. Nice highlight!
You're still keeping me in suspense who will be featured. There's some pretty cool bloggers in this community!
Memento blew me away first time I saw it in the theatre. I wish i could see it again for the first time.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to sit your next blogfest out since I"m taking May off.
Yay! Another Switchfoot song. :) And hooray for Charity!
ReplyDeleteGoing to follow Charity. I betcha Memento doesn't come here :-( Switchfoot? It's me dancing LOL. btw - did you tell your wife "vou fazer marmelada?" ROFL
ReplyDeleteMemento is a real mind twister.
ReplyDeleteHmm... looks like I will be adding Memento to my MWL (Must Watch List).
ReplyDeleteWoot for Charity. She has such a beautiful smile. Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteLivia, still thirteen more to go!
ReplyDeletePK, develop his disease and you will! Not recommended though.
Susan, I will later tonight!
I can't believe I've never seen Memento. It is going on my to watch list.
ReplyDeletehated Momento- sorry. Just saw ARGO and actually loved it. I was ready to dislike it...so there ya go.
ReplyDeleteCheers and have a great week!
Congrats to Charity!
ReplyDeleteMy wee brain is so fried I can't even think of a remake. If and when I do, I'll come back and sign up.
Congrats to Charity for being your featured blogger. You're the coolest of the cool for doing this, Alex.
ReplyDeleteMemento sounds super good. Now I want to see it!

Charity is awesome and so is her book!
ReplyDeleteI'll look into Charity's books -- a big congrats to her. And I'm ashamed to say I've never seen the famous Memento, so on of these days I've got to catch it.
ReplyDeleteI've not seen Memento yet. It's one I've been meaning to get to.
ReplyDeleteThe blogfest sounds like lots of fun.
Go Charity! Persistence pays off.
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to see Memento but never got around to it.
I'm such a shallow movie watcher that just thinking about Momento made my head hurt! LOL
ReplyDeleteCarol, I bet you can before May 17.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lynn!
Now I'm going to have to watch Memento.
ReplyDeleteAm I crazy for signing up for another blogfest? Probably.
ReplyDeleteI have Momento on my list.
Another fun blogfest! I've got to say, I was really angry with our local classic rock station when I found out that Blinded by the Light is an awesome Springsteen song - and they've been playing the cheesy Manfred Mann version for decades how, and never once mentioned the Boss! Grr!
ReplyDeleteOh no, I've not seen Memento. A nice dedication to Charity.
ReplyDeleteAnd oh no, another blogfest. Help, help! :)
Time for me to have a blogfest about not having a blogfest.
Happy alphabeting, dude.
Gary
No, no, not another blogfest. I can't take it.
ReplyDeleteOh, Memento is one REALLY intriguing movie. I've seen it twice so far. I'll bet it doesn't matter how many times you watch it there will be something new to notice or understand in it.
ReplyDeleteI have got to see Memento...maybe I will download to my wife's iPad for the vacay.
ReplyDeleteI think switchfoot come from soccer?? Or maybe idea at all!!
Chuck at Apocalypse Now
Good idea for a blogfest!
ReplyDeleteAllison (Geek Banter)
I love your blog fests, but don't do movies really so would be lost with remakes.
ReplyDeleteMemento is an incredible film! I can't even follow it, but it blows my mind. Great choice! ;)
ReplyDeleteMemento is one of the best films ever made. Awesome choice!
ReplyDelete#atozchallenge, Kristen's blog: kristenhead.blogspot.com
Susan, join the insanity!
ReplyDeleteDeniz, Bruce did it first.
Gary, that would be funny.
Chuck, not soccer.
HI, Alex,
ReplyDeleteBetter late than never... right... I meant to stop by earlier, but I got sidetracked.
YAY. Charity! Love the premise of her book and can't wait to dive into it.... if I ever get a FREE SECOND! LOL.
I"m stil in awe on how you do it! I sincerely and honestly wish I could. But Time never seems to be on my side. But I am happy about keeping up with the challenge. Just THREE MORE.... YAY! I can't believe I wrote 23 already and it's only the fifteenth!
I absolutely love Memento and anything Christopher Nolan does. No one will be able to remake that.
ReplyDeleteMovie blogfest you say? I'm in!
Oh boy do I have a long list of crappy remakes...in fact, if you think you can RE-make something that's already been done, you're already done...hurting my brain trying to think of a SUCCESSFUL remake...

I loved Memento. I'd watch it again.
ReplyDeleteI"ve never heard of Anterograde Amnesia, but this medical condition sounds horrible - so sad :-(
ReplyDeleteI"m looking forward to the Remake Blogfest, and although I will not participate, I will be reading the post. Oh, yeah - there will be tons of fun!
I love that Switchfoot song. Actually, I'm a fan of most of their music :)
ReplyDeleteIf it's a movie blogfest, I'm all up in it! You've found my weakness...it's my kryptonite.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea! Hmm, I'll have to get thinking.
ReplyDeleteBest remake .... hmmm. I dunno. I'd really have to think about it.
ReplyDeleteAll signed up for the blogfest. It's going to be terrific!
ReplyDeleteI did not know Leonard's condition was real. How interesting and sad.
I will definitely have to look out for Charity.
Charity has a great smile! Yay for Charity!
ReplyDeleteWhen I read the title, the song popped right into my head. :)
ReplyDeleteYay, an easy fest. lol But I joined and then had to re-read because I had adaptation lodged into one side of my brain, and the other said, "No, it's remakes." I'll definitely have to think harder! lol (Wait, just thought of the worst. lol)
Thank you for the mention, Alex!
ReplyDeleteAlex, thank you again for the extra exposure. You have the best ninja army following you and I'm honored to be a part of it all. Reading comments makes me feel good about trying to be myself no matter where I'm at. It's worth it isn't it? And so much easier than trying to "fit".
ReplyDeleteThanks again!
Another excellent Nolan movie :) It took me a good few years to see this, but it's a good addition to a movie collection :)
ReplyDeleteJamie @ Mithril Wisdom
I love Memento! One of the best movies EVER.
ReplyDeleteWish I knew more about remakes, but alas, I have no clue. So I'll be passing this time around. It's all good though. My daughter will be graduating from college, and we'll be super busy with family and celebrations during that time anyway. Wishing everyone a great time and a very successful hop!
ReplyDeleteThat blog challenge looks like fun! Then again, they all do. I wish I had more time for these challenges..I can barely keep up with regularly posting these days. I'll get around to one of them some day!!!
ReplyDeleteCount me in!
ReplyDeleteJust signed up for your remake blog hop. Looking forward to it!
