The wording may be a little dated but the concept remains the same:
The concept is simple, it is to watch 30 movies within 31 days (during the month of January).
Films must be feature length or equivalent (so you could technically watch a collection of shorts and it would count as one), can be on TV, DVD, downloaded, in theatres, etc. You can re-watch movies you’ve seen before, but not watch the same movie twice (...haha)
Participants don’t have to watch the same films (though you might enjoy the social aspect of watching movies together and find it easier to share at least some titles)
For each film you will be required to give a two-line review and a rating out of 5, which can be posted on the discussion board (our regular participants have found it most logical to start a thread and group all your reviews in there).
So film lovers unite! This is a great way to keep yourself occupied during one of the crummiest months of the year, be able to catch up on all those movies you keep meaning to see, learn about new titles from others, and have a chance to get acquainted with and discuss your favourite movies with fellow film enthusiasts!
Even if you’re not participating, please check back often for movie reviews!
Facebook has seen a few revamps in this time -- rarely for the better. This year the common practice seems to be:
1) creating a "doc" within the group and then updating it as you watch more films.
2) creating an album on your own page filled with movie posters, posting the review in the description, then providing a link to the whole thing on the 30 Films in 31 Days group page
Some non-FB participants are also using hashtag #30films31days on Twitter to track their progress. Others are logging mad check-ins on GetGlue.com.
Hopefully in your own way, as an active participant, curious observer, or mildly amused well-wisher, you will find a way to join in the fun! Please spread the word to all the film fanatics you know!
Stay warm and eat lots of popcorn!
