Action & Event-ure:
I'm a big movie fan. If you've been reading my blog religiously, I bet this is not much of a revelation to you anymore =). I think I got this from my dad who had really been an A1 movie follower. Whether it's at the theater or TV or VHS, be sure he's among the firsts to check his most liked films. There are movies though that are way beyond my generation but my father was able to introduce me to them. Think of the first Indiana Jones, The King and I, Ten Commandments, haha, I learned that and the stories behind it from him. So I grew up with the movies; and I just know when one title should be kept, be part of the collection and be watched over and over again. Before, it was hard getting your own original copies of your favorite movies but thank heaven and earth for the rise of video shops like Astrovision / Astroplus! Now, when one movie is destined to be classic, getting your own copy is as easy as buying a hamburger! =)
For me, getting a video copy of my favorite or a memorable film does not only give me the chance to watch it anytime I want but it allows me to preserve a memory, a special moment in my life, when I first saw and enjoyed that movie. I for example would always be reminded of our family and Christmas gatherings when I watch The Sound of Music, of my fun college buddies and our movie trips when I see Anaconda and I Know What You Did Last Summer, of my co-movie fan brother and our pizza nights when I play Underworld and X-Men videos at home, and some cheesy moments when I get a glimpse of She's All That haha =D. How about you? What's the story behind your favorite movie? =)
So when I got the invite from Orange Magazine TV about the first Bloggers Blowout of Astrovision, I of course immediately said yes. How could a movie blogger (and a long time movie fan) could be out of this momentous occasion? =) And I'm glad I was part of it because I got to know the brands and the people behind the movie / video industry and the things they are doing for movie fanatics like me. =)
