A Midsummer Dream Blogathon is here! This weekend contains three noteworthy events, Emancipation Day on June 19, Father’s Day on June 20, and the Summer Solstice, also on June 20. We’re adding to this already crowded weekend by hosting this month’s blogathon on June 18-20! This isn’t entirely coincidental. We intended this blogathon as a celebration of the beginning of summer.
This inspiration for this blogathon’s title and theme is A Midsummer Night’s Dream from 1935, Max Reinhardt’s artistic adaption of William Shakespeare’s immortal play. Strictly speaking, the events in this movie, like the original play, are not a dream but real magical occurrences. However, the whole feeling of this early Code film is evocative of a beautiful, whimsical dream. It is with this idea that we are hosting this blogathon dedicated to dreams in films, films about dreams, films with dream sequences, films that might actually be dreams, and films that just feel dreamy! There are no rules when it comes to dreams, so we are allowing many interpretations of what exactly a dream is.
We look forward to reading your posts on dreamy cinema this weekend! They are the perfect way to stay cool while preparing “to sleep, perchance to dream,” arising from your lazy weekend dreams, or daydreaming on a sultry midsummer day. To be accurate, this should be called An Early Summer Dream Blogathon, but it certainly feels like midsummer here in California!
Stay tuned for announcements of our plans for this year’s #CleanMovieMonth activities later this weekend! In the meantime, enjoy writing about, watching, or just dreaming about your favorite movies!

Hello, girls!
I’ve been working a lot on my post for several days yet it is still taking a long time to come together some reason. Sorry, my article is going to be late! I’ll try to get it published as soon as I can!

Hello there, old friend!
Thank you so much for letting me know. I completely understand. If you’re the Movie Critic Queen, I’m the Late Publication Queen. If you’ve been following our posting schedule recently, you’ll see that I’ve been hopelessly tardy in catching up with past articles. I’d love to receive your article whenever you have a chance to finish it!
Yours Hopefully,
Tiffany Brannan

Why, thank you, Tiffany! You are certainly a gracious hostess! Thank you for being so understanding. Your reply eased my mind as I had been a little frantix. I guess it shows that we have more happening in real life, right? My post comparing the two Walter Mitty movies are up now!
Your friend,
