Serving Up The Food & Film Blogathon!

On By 18cinemalane

For this year’s blogathon, I had several potential topics within my reach. But as I sifted through those topics, my mind kept going back to one particular thought. There hasn’t been a time when film and food were not associated with one another. Think about it; have you ever been to a movie theater without a concession stand? Does your favorite movie feature a scene where characters share a meal together? Is the grey stuff from Beauty and the Beast truly edible? Food and film have been joined in a matrimony for many years, with this marriage taking on various forms. To celebrate this union, I am hosting the Food & Film Blogathon! While food themed movies typically come to mind, there is so much more to this theme. Here are some other ideas for those interested in participating in my event:

  • Food-related movie promotions
  • The relationship between movies and the concession stand
  • Favorite meals from movies
  • Dinner & a Movie (either the show or the concept)
  • Recipes of meals from movies or associated with movies
  • Movie related food products (lunchboxes, reuseable cups, etc.)
  • Movie scenes involving food
  • Dine-In Theatres

  6. The menu at The Midnite Drive-In is always a bit risky… surprise surprise!

    I’m thinking “Attack of the Killer Tomatoes” is long overdue. And a title I just found “Attack of the Killer Donuts”.

    Gee, you just can’t trust food anymore…

    Hi, Sally! This is such a fun idea for a blogathon! ^_^ I’ve been debating back and forth on what to do (because there are so many options!) but I think I’ve decided on writing a review that highlights the importance of food in the movie Kung Fu Panda (2008).

    Thanks!
