If you visit Burbanked with any regularity, you’ve probably figured out by now that I don’t write many movie reviews. I always thought I would populate this site with regular reviews, but the fact is that I go out to the movies with much less regularity than I’d like, so it’s been difficult to structure [...]

This isn’t a meme and it’s not a blogathon – yet it certainly owes its conventions to both of those. What I’d like to suggest here is to play a little game of something similar to what used to be called “Telephone“.
