Recently I've been noticing a lot of the blogs I follow have been winning Kreativ Blogger awards. I'm not exactly sure what a Kreativ Blogger award is or where it's come from, but how it works is if you get nominated by someone, you have to nominate seven other people, and then they nominate seven other people and so on and so forth. Thus it spreads, like a chain letter or syphilis, until the very concept of winning becomes utterly meaningless. There really isn't a whole lot of prestige to be had with this award; there's no criteria or ceremony. It's basically a way for bloggers to feel good about themselves. Except of course when I win one. Then it's like super awesome and exciting!
Anyway, when you get given a Kreativ Blogger award, you have to do seven things:
1) Thank the person who nominated you for this award.
Thanks Jason. In all seriousness, I was really glad to be nominated. Sorry about implying you gave me syphilis in the previous paragraph.
2) Copy the logo and place it on your blog.
Isn't it pretty?
3) Link to the person who nominated you for this award.
Jason Soto runs Invasion of the B Movies. He is a fellow LAMB and frequent podcaster with me on the LAMBcast. Check his site out, it's awesome.
4) Name 7 things about yourself that people might find interesting.
Ok, this could be kind of fun.
- I'm 18 years old and live in Melbourne, Australia.
- I recently finished high school and will soon be beginning an Arts course at the University of Melbourne. Not really sure what subjects I want to take, aside from English and as much Cinema Studies as possible.
- The only sport I'm really passionate about is Australian Rules Football (watching, not playing). I've been a Richmond Tigers support since I was 7 (a consistently heartbreaking experience). I also really like to ski, which I suppose technically counts as a sport.
- Although I'm a huge movie fan, most of my DVD collection is made up of TV shows. I have almost seventy different series; my favourite shows are Firefly, Buffy, The Wire, Oz, 24, Battlestar Galactica and many, many more.
- I spent all of yesterday catching up with two of my closest friends. Aside from several very long and profane conversations, we saw two movies (Invictus and In The Loop) and watched another two on DVD (The Cove, Little Miss Sunshine). For dinner we went to a supermarket and bought a box of cookies and a tub of ice-cream and then ate it in a shopping centre food court (fuck you it was cheaper than a restaurant). I love those guys.
- I lived in Bangkok, Thailand for a year when I was 9 and would like to live there again some day. I have also visited Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Hong Kong, China, India, England, Wales, France & The United States.
My Dad and I in China in 2008
- My favourite film-makers include Stanley Kubrick, Christopher Nolan, Quentin Tarantino, David Cronenberg, James Cameron, Danny Boyle, David Fincher, Martin Scorsese, The Coen Brothers and Kevin Smith.
5) Nominate seven other Kreativ Bloggers
Hmmmm. I suspect a lot of them have already won Kreativ Blogger awards as well, but whatever.
- Nic Cage as Everyone (because everything is improved by more Nic Cage)
- A new level of nerdiness (Australian movie bloggers unite!)
- Dark of the Matinee (I know he's already won, but Hatter is still one of my all time favourite LAMBs)
- The Jack Sack (a terrific and hilarious blog for fans of 24)
- The Movie Encyclopedia (my fellow teenaged LAMBcaster and one of the most prolific bloggers I know. Travis, where do you find the time?)
- Big Mikes Movie Blog (consistently the funniest guy on the LAMBcast. My one complaint of his blog is that he keeps posting Arrested Development clips via Hulu, which I can't watch in my stupid country!)
- Your status is annoying (because we all know people like this)
6) Post links to the seven blogs I nominated
Yeah, I already did that.
7) Leave a comment on each of the blogs letting them know they have been nominated.
Sigh. This takes way to long. Does a Kreativ Blogger award come with some kind of cash prize?
