I think it’s high time we have a Blogathon in honour of an often underrated but brilliant actors…Jeff Bridges! I was first introduced to this fantastic actor when I was a teen and right from that moment, he was right there on the top of my list of favourites. And there he remains to this day.
So, without further ado, here it is:
I’ll be doing a one day only Blogathon, on Jeff Bridges‘ birthday. So, 4th December 2019 it is. You can submit as many entries as you like and the topics can cover the man himself, his movies, or anything related to this versatile actor. I don’t mind duplicates as everyone is different. No previously published posts though.
You know the drill I’m sure…sign up in the comments below with your topic/movie of choice and publish it on 4th December 2019. I’ll link them all up on the Blogathon page that day. Oh, and in the meantime, grab a banner from further down (or create your own) and link back to me here.
(Of course, it should go without saying that if you are not a fan, please don’t submit a post i.e. no disrespectful entries please. And, please don’t write about a movie you didn’t really enjoy just because Mr Bridges is in it. We’re here to celebrate after all. )
Here’s the roster so far:
Thoughts All Sorts – Lolly Madonna XXX (1973) and TBC
MovieRob – TBC
Pfeiffer Pfilms & Meg Movies – The Fabulous Baker Boys (1989)
Dubsism – Tucker: The Man and his Dream (1988)
Realweegiemidget Reviews – Starman (1984)
The Midnite Drive-In – The Big Lebowski (1998)
Taking Up Room – Tron (1982)
Seven Doors of Cinema – Kiss Me Goodbye (1982)

Nope. Go for it. You can do both. I’m always open to duplicates as everyone has their own thoughts. So, as long as it celebrates Jeff Bridges i.e you enjoyed the movies…bring it on 🙂
