Well hello there! I know I just put something up about a series not long ago, but Spook Series is one I’m doing all by my lonesome. For my series coming up in November, I would love to have some participation if anybody is up for it! For those of you who have been with me for a while, this series will sound familiar. It’s a little something I like to call NOOOOvember. I did it last year as my very first blog series open to guests, and I got some great posts out of it.
Here’s the point of NOOOOvember: it’s all about blowing off steam by venting about movies that should’ve been good but weren’t. We’ve all had experiences like that–you go in with high expectations, thinking, “This is gonna be awesome!” By the time the credits roll, disappointment has taken hold. You experience frustration, sadness, deep depression, more frustration, and then rage. I offer you the opportunity to be productive with that rage by venting on my blog. Honestly, you can do that however you’d like, but if you’d like to peruse the NOOOOvember Archives for ideas, you are more than welcome.
Since this series won’t kick off until Nov. 1, you’ve got a while to mull things over, but with Halloween and spooky movie watching marathons around the corner (not to mention the the premiere of sooo much awesome fall TV), I thought I’d go ahead and mention it. If you’re interested, comment below or shoot me an email at caragale123@gmail.com. I look forward to seeing what you guys come up with! 😀

“Here’s the point of NOOOOvember: it’s all about blowing off steam by venting about movies that should’ve been good but weren’t. We’ve all had experiences like that–you go in with high expectations, thinking, “This is gonna be awesome!””
Precisely. 🙂
Awesome! And yes–what Zoe said there. Haha.
I’m in. There are plenty of movies I hate and can rant on and on about.
SCORE!! Can’t wait to see what you come up with, Nick!!
Has it been a year already? Count me in!
Right? Time freaking flies, dude. And yaaaayyyy!! 🙂
“…venting about movies that should have been good bt weren’t”
Hell yeah! Plenty to choose from – lemme at ’em!!
… Where do I sign?
Great!! Glad you want to join in!! Type something up any time before Nov. 1 and send it to caragale123@gmail.com. 🙂
Lady, you know I am in for this. I can think of a few movies off the top of my head that kicked me in the teeth this year alone! How messed up is that?! Ones I got all amped for and then they crushed me!
Well, I am very sorry for your disappointment…but I’m psyched that you want to do this!!! 😀
Sounds great, count me in 🙂 Already have a movie in mind too…
Awesome! So glad you want to take part, Rhys! 🙂
I would love to give this a try and I already have a movie picked out! 🙂
Oh awesome! I would love to have you, lady! Can’t wait!! 😀
How does it work exactly? Do I email you my submission?
Yes ma’am! Type something up and send it to me at caragale123@gmail.com any time before Nov. 1. Be sure to attach any pics you want to include, too. I’ll sort out the posts and let you know when it’ll be going up ASAP. 🙂
Sounds great!! Thank you!! This will be fun 😀
Thank YOU!! 🙂 🙂
I’m in! 🙂
Huzzah!!! 😀
Likewise. I’m in! Cool idea Cara.
Yaaayyy!! 😀
Agreed with Mikey, has it really been a year?? Time flies! But I am so in for this! 😀
Yeah, can you believe it?? Can’t believe this is my second foray into this series! So glad you’ll be taking part!!
I’m in!
HIGH FIVE!!!
Hmm. This was fun last year! Let me have a think….. ! I always try to do these for a fellow Proby. : ) I’m most probably in! ; )
Hoorayyyy!! Yes, you’re going to have to find something that annoyed you as much as Lockout!! Haha. 😉
Seriously though, if you’re too busy, no pressure. I’d love to have you, but I also know you have plenty of other stuff to do. 🙂
Definitely in! I’ll have to think about it a little first though, but I’m fairly certain I have one. 😉
BTW, I love you (in a completely not crazy way) for always doing these so early so I have time to plan.
Hoorayyy! So glad to hear this, Kim! And I figure it’s only polite to give people plenty of notice. Life is crazy, so it never hurts. Hahaha. 🙂
I love this idea! I already know what I’ll be writing about 🙂
– Allie
Oh awesome!! I can’t wait to see, Allie!!
Ditto, great idea. Need to have a think now 🙂
– Jenna
Yaaayyy!! I would be thrilled to have both of you lovely ladies!!
If it’s okay with you, I’d love to get in on this.
Dell, I’d be thrilled to have you…I just need it, like, ASAP. Lol. Any way you could send me your write-up in the next few days?
Tomorrow evening ok???
That’d work, yep! 🙂
Darn it, how did I not find out about this sooner? This sounds like it could be interesting but now it’s the end of the month and I’m not entirely sure what I’d write about (I probably have something, but it’s difficult to place exactly what). I’d offer and try to find something by this evening but with exams going on I’m a bit busy.
If it is any interest, however, I do have a blogathon of my own you might enjoy, meant to coincide with the release of Interstellar and if you don’t like that one I have two others starting tonight at about 1:00 A.M. that I think will excite some of my readers.

Oh wow. This is an intense blogathon! Lol. Very cool idea, John. I’ll have to check in and see what people come up with!
Well, if that one’s not up to your tastes (understandable, no worries) I do have two others lined up for December. I had this one hugely successful blogathon back in the summer dedicated to the subject of strong female characters: http://hitchcocksworld.blogspot.ca/2014/06/women-in-film-blogathon.html
Now it’s a bit late to get in on that action, but I am running two follow-ups that I think you might enjoy. Officially they’re not supposed to start until tomorrow, but I’ve decided to post one a few hours early. This one continues the theme of women in film but takes it in a new direction. There’s a second one scheduled for 1:00 A.M. tonight which also uses a similar structure but emphasizes a different contemporary social issue. Here’s the first of the two:

These all sound amazing, John…I just don’t have the time to participate right now.
But I really look forward to reading!! You’ve got some fantastic things in the works, here. 🙂
Okay, because this was the last day and I’ve got some things happening later it was a bit rushed, but here’s my entry:

Oh wow! Well, yesterday was actually the last day for the series and I have a post planned for today, but tell you what–I’ll make sure I put in a link to this for my post tomorrow, okay? Great write-up and nice choice! Pirates 3 was actually one of the ones I mentioned for last year’s NOOOOvember. HUGE letdown. Lol. Thanks, John!
